Research of microstructure and phase composition of a new complex alloy – alumosilicomanganese (Al-Si-Mn)

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a physicochemical study of a new complex alloy of alumosilicomanganese. The phase composition of the alloy was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis on an Empyrean Malvern Panalytical X-ray diffractometer. Radiographs were processed and decoded using the Match! 3 software and the Full- Prof-2021 database. The HighScorePlus, Match! 3 and FullProf-2021 programs are based on the Rietveld method. The study of the microstructure of the alloy was carried out on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the JEOL - JSM7001F type. The chemical composition of the phases was determined using an Oxford INCA X-max 80 energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) installed on a JEOL JSM-7001F scanning electron microscope.
