... on the segregation of the two reactant phases and the expected reaction stoichiometry. The result of this technique is a metric, quantifying the effectiveness of phase mixing in a particular microstructure as a function of length scale. Assuming that the proportionate mixing of reactant phases on multiple length...

...S. M. Lee; H. H. Kim; C. G. Kang Mechanical properties and microstructure of heat-treated samples of A356 and AA2024 aluminum alloys, which were rheoforged by varying the change in pressure and temperature were investigated, preventing defects such as porosity, liquid segregation, and insufficient...

... with a thermoplastic binder, followed by a debinding stage that permits to evacuate the polymeric binder, and then followed by a sintering stage by solid state diffusion that normally leads to a nearly dense component. The main defects arising during MIM processing are associated with powder segregation during...
