Abstract
The non-equilibrium microstructures of hyper-eutectic Al-26.6wt%Si solidified under superhigh pressure (5.5 GPa) have been investigated. The results show that there exists a great deal of primary α phase in hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloy. The non-equilibrium microstructure for hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloy is composed of primary α phase, β phase and (α + β) eutectic phase. The solid solubility of Si in α phase and the solid solubility of Al in β phase increase significantly. The effects of high pressure on the solidification structures of Al-Si alloy are discussed.
