It was revealed that a porous surface layer with non-homogeneously distributed alloying elements (silicon, yttrium) in it is formed in any conditions of electroexplosive alloying of silumin. Thickness of the modified layer is different, varying 50 to 160 µm, depending on the zone to be examined. The modified surface consists basically of Al, Si and Y. Yttrium in the modified layer is thought to be an indirect evidence of better physical and mechanical properties of the surface layer in comparison with the base material.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Research into morphology and phase structure in the surface of Al-Si alloy modified by yttrium oxide}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/112195/PDF/02_173-178_01028_Bpast.No.67-2_06.02.20.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpas.2019.128605}, keywords={silumin, microstructure, electroexplosive alloying, yttrium oxide}, }
