In this work, ultrasound has been employed to help prepare Al-Sc alloys using the molten salt electrolysis. The effects of synergetic ultrasound on the Sc content and primary Al3Sc particles of Al-Sc alloys are specifically investigated. Ultrasound can strongly promote the Sc content of the electrolytic Al-Sc alloy and transform the large Al3Sc phase clusters into fine cubic particles. Meanwhile, it also homogenizes the distribution of Al3Sc phase. The Sc content increases by 74.4 % up to 1.43 wt.% when applying ultrasound during both electrolysis and solidification process. It also transforms the molten salts/liquid Al interface by enhancing the wettability. The huge primary Al3Sc phase clusters transform into fine cubic particles by ultrasound. The average particle size reduces from 77 ± 36 μm down to 21 ± 8 μm. The concerned mechanism have been discussed in detail.

协同超声对熔盐电解制备Al-Sc合金中Sc收率和Al 3 Sc的影响
在这项工作中,已采用超声波帮助使用熔融盐电解制备Al-Sc合金。特别研究了协同超声对Al-Sc合金中Sc含量和Al 3 Sc初生颗粒的影响。超声波可以大大提高电解Al-Sc合金的Sc含量,并将较大的Al 3 Sc相簇转变为精细的立方颗粒。同时,还使Al 3 Sc相的分布均匀。在电解和凝固过程中施加超声波时,Sc含量增加74.4%,最高达到1.43%(重量)。它还通过提高润湿性来转变熔融盐/铝液的界面。巨大的原始Al 3Sc相簇通过超声转变成细小的立方颗粒。平均粒径从77±36μm降低到21±8μm。已经详细讨论了有关机制。
