| Abstract Scope |
Trace elements such as Na, Sr, or other alkali and alkaline-earth elements have been widely studied as chemical refiners that change the morphology and the size of faceted eutectic Si in the Al-Si alloy system to improve mechanical properties. In this work, we have extended this technique to modify faceted eutectic Mg2Si in the Mg-Si alloy system for faster hydrogen absorption kinetics. Various amount of modifier elements were added into Mg-Si alloys and the microstructure of the Mg-Si alloys was investigated. A modification effect on eutectic Mg2Si was observed. The modification mechanism of eutectic Mg2Si in Mg-Si alloy and its potential effect on hydrogen storage properties are discussed. |
