A casual metallurgist might be forgiven in believing that there are but a few basic types of
steels used in the manufacture of some of the most technologically important engineering …

Forming is widely used due to its high efficiency in material utilization and its high production
rate in general. Most forming processes control the geometry of final products through a set …

Steel is a particularly challenging material to semi-solid process because of the high
temperatures involved and the potential for surface oxidation. Here, the experience of semi …

The microstructure and flow behaviour during thixo backward extrusion of 7075 aluminium
alloy were investigated. Reheating the steel die and the aluminium billet placed into the die …

Semi-solid forming technology has several advantages over the conventional metal forming
process owing to the unique behavior and characteristic microstructure of metals in the semi …

Semi-solid processing has unique advantages over traditional forging and casting routines.
However, there is little research of semi-solid processing on nickel-based superalloys. In this …

Semi-solid forming is an effective near-net-shape forming process to produce components
with complex geometry and in fewer forming steps. It benefits from the complex thixotropic …

A comparative study of thixoforming and forging of double-cup parts in low carbon steel was
performed using a combination of process in-situ experimental analysis and modeling. First …

An energy-efficient process route for manufacturing machine tools and dies of high quality
was proposed based on recrystallization and partial melting (RAP) method and semi-solid …

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 …
