Effect of Casting Condition on Refinement of Primary Crystals in Hypereutectic Al-Si Alloy Ingots Produced by Duplex Casting Process

Abstract
The primary silicon crystals of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy are refined by the Duplex Casting process. In this process, two kinds of alloy melts, i.e. the first alloy with a relatively low liquidus temperature and 狽??@second alloy with a relatively high liquidus temperature, are cast in a mold in sequence at a given time
