The Effect of Additive Elements on the Formation of Oxide Skins of AI-10wt.% Si Alloy Melts

용융 Al-10wt.%Si 합금의 산화피 형성에 미치는 첨가원

This study seeks to the morphological changes in the oxide skin of the Al-10wt.%si alloy melts. These changes depend on the oxidation time and the temperature of the molten alloy, as well as the effects of adding Mg, Cu and Ni. Thess affects observed by X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM)' Very litte oxide skins on Al-10wtwt.%Si alloy melts can be detected by XRD because it is less than the measuring capabillity of the XRD, or the formation of noncrystalline oxide skins oxide skins canbe deteced by SEM. The addition of 1%Mg and 1%Cu-1%Mg-2.5%Ni to this base alloy crystallized the structure of the oxide skins and increased the oxidation in proportion to the length of time, but adding 3% had hardiy anyaffect at all on the crystal structure of the oxide skins.
