Thixoforming is a forming process which exploits metal rheological behaviour during solidus
and liquidus range temperature. Many research works in thixoforming are currently focusing …

The non-dendritic microstructure plays a crucial role in determining the rheological
properties of semi-solid alloys, which are of the utmost importance for the successful …

Ti alloys are successfully applied in several sectors due to their outstanding properties. A
greater increase in the industrial consumption of Ti is strongly limited by its cost, which is …

Thixoforming is a typical semisolid processing route for the production of affordable near-net
shape metallic components. In this study, Ti-Cu alloys specifically designed for thixoforming …

An energy efficient method called deformation and holding process (DHP) in two phase
region, which applied for eliminating the harmful Laves eutectic (LE) phase of INCONEL 718 …

Using a multistage hot compression test machine, reheating experiments and semisolid
compression tests were conducted on two commercial rolled Cr–V–Mo tool steels, SKD11 …

The challenges commonly associated with conventional high pressure die casting (HPDC)
have led to increased interest in semi-solid metal (SSM) forming processes. In the present …

High-speed steels (HSSs) and their heat treatments have very long history. However, in the
literature it is possible to come across some misunderstandings primarily in relation to the …

The thixoforging of 9Cr18 steel was conducted in a designed set-up. A functionally graded
material (FGM) with a hard surface and tough center was fabricated. The microstructural …

The inhomogeneous quality of products manufactured by semisolid forming is mainly
attributed from the phase segregation of semisolid metal slurry during forming. Phase …
