Although A356 aluminum alloy has poor ductility and strength, the refinement of the initial α-
Al phase has shown promise in improving these properties. The impact of grain refinement …

In this study, the effects of different amounts of magnesium (Mg) on the microstructures and
tensile properties of thixoformed Al–5% Si–Cu alloys were investigated. Three different …

Aluminum is the world's largest production of non-ferrous metals, with light weight, high
specific strength, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and other characteristics. With …

In recent decades, grain refiners had not only improved the properties on cast aluminum
alloy, but also changed the application field of cast aluminum alloys, which had attracted …

In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed to investigate die
filling of semi solid slurry as part of rheo pressure die casting (RPDC) system. The die filling …

This paper presents a multicomponent thermodynamic database specifically developed for
aluminum alloys, TCAL. The database development is briefly elucidated, including model …

High-entropy alloys can be compelling raw materials for semi-solid applications. In the
present study, the influence of the Cu content on the melting behavior and semi-solid …

In the present research, semisolid billet of 7005 aluminum alloy was fabricated by using
recrystallization and partial remelting (RAP), then thixoformed at different isothermal …

Abstract Al–5.7 Si–2Cu–0.3 Mg alloy was subjected to a thixoforming process. The impact
behaviour of the thixoforming process on microstructure characterisation and mechanical …

The hot deformation behavior of as-cast hypoeutectic Al-Si-Mg alloy has been investigated
through hot compression tests at temperatures between 573 and 773 K and the strain rate of …
