<em>In-situ </em>reactions in hybrid aluminum alloy composites during incorporating silica sand in aluminum alloy melts

In order to gain a better understanding of the reactions and strengthening behavior in cast aluminum alloy/silica composites synthesized by stir mixing, experiments were conducted to incorporate low cost foundry silica sand into aluminum composites with the use of Mg as a wetting agent. SEM and XRD...
