Abstract

The potential of synthesizing nano-structure coatings on aluminum cast alloys during laser surface engineering has been explored based on combustion synthesis and underlying rapid-solidification principles. The roles of cooling rate, heterogeneous nucleation site density, and grain multiplication in structure refinements are well known. By combining combustion synthesis and laser surface engineering, refinement to nanostructure is envisioned.
