Fig. 2—Optical micrographs showing the microstructure of the diecast Al-5 wt pct Mg-1.5 wt pct Si-0.6 wt pct Mn-0.2 wt pct Ti alloy, (a) on a cross section of /6.4-mm tensile test specimen, (b) in the outer skin region, (c) in the central region, and (d) in the band zone. The circular segregation band is 1 mm from the surface of casting and has a width from 100 to 150 lm.
