Experimental investigation of compressive failure behaviour and image-based micromechanical analysis of hypereutectic Al–Mg2Si composites
This study combines detailed experimental characterization with image-based finite element modelling to investigate the compressive micromechanical response of hypereutectic Al–Mg2Si composites containing 15–30 wt.% Mg2Si . Optical microscopy and SEM–EDS observations reveal a three-phase microstructure consisting of...
