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 script 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.

gollark: Communism die.
gollark: Consider.
gollark: I have 340 grams of miscellaneous dice. I don't know what number of sides they have. How many combinations?!
gollark: ... vaguely?
gollark: WHY is it doing this?
