Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The effect of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in an equal-channel stepped die on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of silumin AK9 (Al–Si–Mn–Mg) modified by a master alloy with nanostructured carbon in the form of fullerene black and synthesized glassy carbon particles formed during manufacturing the master alloy is studied. Silumins belong to nondeformable cast alloys; however, ECAP at 500°C makes its plastic deformation up to three passes possible. Three passes of deformation significantly refine the structure of the AK9 modified silumin. ECAP results in the refinement of silicon inclusions, which are of the fabrication origin and do not undergo plastic deformation.
