Semi-solid metal (SSM) processing has been an attractive method for manufacturing near-
net-shape components with high integrity due to its distinct advantages over conventional …

Semisolid metal processing (SSMP) is a novel metal forming technology which offers near
net-shaped metal components of complex geometries. The present work aims to classify the …

Cooling Slope casting process promises to be a simple yet useful technique to produce semi-
solid feedstock for thixoforming processes. However, the challenge lies in the judicious …

In this paper we made an attempt to assess the solidification and flow behavior of the
AlSi7Mg alloy melt flowing down the cooling slope, by calculating the Reynolds number of …

In this study, a micromechanical approach is used to investigate the deformation behaviour
of rheocast Al–7Si–0.3 Mg alloy. The alloy is rheocast using a cooling slope (at 45° and 60° …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91D alloy thin-wall parts produced by
the rheomolding (RM) process were investigated and compared with the same alloy formed …

Semi solid processing is a near net shape casting process and one of the promising
techniques to obtain dendritic free structure of metals. Semi solid casting gives numerous …

This paper presents the changes in mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminium
alloy A356 that undergoes cooling slope casting. The alloy was cut into small cubes with an …

Microscale deformation behaviour, plastic strain localisation and plastic instability of grain
refined rheocast Al–7Si–0.3 Mg alloy have been studied here, following micromechanical …

Microstructural features of Al-6 wt.% Cu alloy processed by two different routes:(1)
conventional casting, and (2) shear casting based on inclined surface are studied. The …
