Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting
processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 …

A series of casting experiments was performed with binary Al–Cu alloys with varying cooling
rates, cooling conditions and copper concentration. The quantitative relationships between …

Super high strength aluminum alloys are very important materials to the aerospace
industries, however, cracks often occur during the DC casting process because of their high …

For almost half a century the catastrophic failure of direct chill (DC) cast high strength
aluminum alloys has been challenging the production of sound ingots. To overcome this …

Thermally induced strains and stresses developed during direct-chill (DC) semicontinuous
casting of high strength aluminum alloys can result in formation of micro-cracks in different …

Compression tests of direct-chill (DC) casting and coupling-stirring (CS) casting Al–Zn–Mg–
Cu alloy have been performed in the strain rate range from 0.01 s− 1 to 10 s− 1 and the …

A new superhigh strength Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy was made by low frequency electromagnetic
casting (LFEC) and conventional direct chill (DC) casting, respectively. The effects of low …

High-strength aluminum alloys prepared by conventional continuous casting have highly
susceptible to hot tearing and poor cold workability due to nonuniform cooling. In this paper …

Finding a criterion for cold cracking during direct-chill (DC) casting of high-strength
aluminum alloys seems to be quite necessary in aluminum industry. However, lack of …

Ultrasonic treatment was applied during solidification forming of 6016 aluminium alloys. The
effects of ultrasonic vibration on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 6016 …
