The influence of laser power during selective laser melting (SLM) on the grain morphology
and texture component in AlSi10Mg alloy has been investigated, using electron …

The current article is to highlight the implication of rheology in semi-solid metal (SSM)
processing. The effect of several process and metallurgical parameters, such as shear rate …

Semi-solid metal processing involves processing metallic alloys between the solidus and
the liquidus. The microstructure must be non-dendritic and consist of spheroids of solid in a …

Cooling slope (CS) casting process was employed in the present work to produce A357
thixoforming feedstock. The dendritic primary phase in the conventionally cast A357 alloy …

The present study reports the effect of melt treatment, ie, grain refiner (0.15 wt pct of Al–5Ti–
1B) and modifier (0.1 wt pct of Al–10Sr) addition on microstructure formation mechanism of …

There is a lack of specific alloys for thixoforming processes. Usually alloys from conventional
casting processes were fitted to the thixoforming purpose, eg A356, A357. The aim of this …

Since the first research works in the end of 1980s on the semi-solid forming of steel, this
process has presented a great interest and a real industrial potential. Several research …

Cross wedge rolling is introduced into the strain induced melt activation process before cold
compression to prepare semisolid A356. 2 alloy. The microstructural evolution of semisolid …

The effects of strain induced melt activated (SIMA) process parameters on the microstructure
evolution of an A356 aluminum alloy have been investigated. It is concluded that a fine …

This study investigated the effects of mechanical vibration during solidification on the
metallurgical structure of hypoeutectic aluminum–silicon A356. A series of casting trials were …
