In-depth microstructural, chemical, and morphological analyses of the secondary beta phases formed in the MgAlSi alloy were conducted. The formation processes of the intermetallic phases were also examined. Image processing was applied to the obtained microstructures using the Image-J program. The average alloy had a matrix alpha phase to secondary beta phase ratio of approximately 60/40. Furthermore, a dry and corrosive wear test were applied to the MgAlSi alloy by means of reciprocating motion. The wear rate was calculated to be at least 0.00137 mm(3)/Nm, indicating that the unique MgAlSi ternary alloy produced had very high wear resistance due to the presence of intermetallic phases.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessimage processingintermetallic phaseMg alloywearArticle10.1007/s40962-023-00992-02-s2.0-851524241273421Q233118WOS:000967746100003Q2
