Hot tearing is often a major casting defect in magnesium alloys and has a significant impact
on the quality of their casting products. Hot tearing of magnesium alloys is a complex …

Solidification cracking is a weld defect common to certain susceptible alloys rendering many
of them unweldable. It forms and grows continuously behind a moving weld pool within the …

Hot tearing remains a major problem of casting technology despite decades-long efforts to
develop working hot tearing criteria and to implement those into casting process computer …

Predicting the occurrence of hot tears in the direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminum alloys by
numerical simulation is a crucial step for avoiding such defects. In this study, eight hot …

A technique for measuring the linear contraction during and after solidification of aluminum
alloys was improved and used for examination of binary and commercial alloys. The effect of …

Abstract Effects of casting speed and alloy composition on structure formation and hot
tearing during direct-chill (DC) casting of 200-mm round billets from binary Al-Cu alloys are …

Hot tearing and as-cast porosity are the two defects which impede the performance of cast
products. The effect of porosity on hot tearing was investigated using a novel semi-solid …

In this study, three different aluminum-silicon alloys (A356, A413, and A380) that have
different solidification morphology and solidification ranges were examined with an aim to …

Hot tearing remains a major problem of casting technology despite decades-long efforts to
develop a working hot tearing criterion and to implement it into casting process computer …

Hot cracking (namely, hot tearing for casting) is a phenomenon that occurs at elevated
temperature close to the solidus of an alloying system. Normally, chemical composition has …
