Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Samples were taken from the four main stressed parts of low-silicon cast aluminum alloy steering knuckle castings; their compositions and properties were tested. Microstructure observation and SEM and EDS analysis were performed on the samples, and Image Pro Plus was used to calculate the area fraction of inclusions at each position. The filling and solidification process of casting were simulated for aiding the analysis of inclusion formation. The main purpose of this research is to clarify the formation rules of inclusions in different positions of aluminum alloy castings and take corresponding measures to avoid the occurrence of inclusions, which plays an extremely important role in improving the quality of castings. The results showed that the castings mainly contain oxides such as AlO, MgO, SiO and a small amount of Fe-containing intermetallic compounds. Moreover, the inclusions are affected by the flow rate and cooling rate of the liquid aluminum, and more inclusions are produced above the casting or in the region where the casting wall is thicker.
