Intermetallic particle

Intermetallic particles form during solidification of metallic alloys.

Aluminium alloys

Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys

For example Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys form Al5FeSi- plate like intermetallic phase, Chinese scipt like -Al8Fe2Si, Al2Cu, etc. The size and morphology of these intermetallic phases in these alloys control the mechanical properties of these alloys especially strength and ductility.[1] The size of these phases depends on the secondary dendrite arm spacing,[2] as well as the Si content of the alloy,[3][4][5][6][7] of the primary phase in the micro structure.
