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 …

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

A series of Al–6Si–3Cu–(0.3–2) Mg alloys were produced by a conventional casting
process. Cooling slope technique was employed to produce feedstocks before they were …

The solidification rate of materials affects the properties of the cast product and the pouring
temperature also influences the freezing conditions of cast-metal alloys. The propose of this …

Improving the engineering properties of A356 alloy is an appealing option for the automotive
industry. This study aimed at refining and redistributing Si particles and the eutectic phase …

In this study, the dry sliding wear characteristics of Al–6Si–3Cu–(0.3–2) Mg–aluminium
alloys produced by the thixoforming process were examined. The cooling slope technique …

In this work, based on the A356 alloy, a novel Al–Si–Mg–Cu–Fe–Sr alloy with good
mechanical property and high thermal conductivity was developed. The semi-solid slurry of …

Semi-solid metal processing is the well-known technique used for the production of Al-
based alloys components with sound quality and improved properties. To produce and …

The current article is to present a comprehensive summary of the most widely used
semisolid metal (SSM) processing parameters with their concomitant metallurgical …

Semisolid metal (SSM) processing is a forming process which occurs within solidus and
liquidus temperatures, and it requires feedstock billets with spheroidal microstructures. In …
