An ICME Method for Predicting Phase Dissolution During Solution Treatment in Advanced Super Vacuum Die Cast Magnesium Alloys

An integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methodology was applied in this study to systematically and quantitatively study the second phase dissolution kinetics during the solution treatment process of a high pressure die cast magnesium sample. The study was conducted on Mg–9 wt% Al, Mg–5 wt% Al, and Mg–11 wt% Al binary alloys after isothermal solution treatments ranging from 380 to 420 °C. The experimental measurements revealed...
