Solid state recycling of AA7075 chips by hot pressing is a novel processing technique that
uses remarkably lower energies compared to conventional recycling by casting. In this …

The thixoforging of aluminium alloys has received in recent years an extensive interest for
the manufacture of parts because of its advantages. To choose an aluminium alloy as raw …

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 …

Hot-extruded 7075 aluminum alloy was used to form deep cavity cylinders by thixoextrusion.
The effects of isothermal temperature and soaking time on the microstructure and …

The solid grain size, degree of spheroidization, contiguity and practical liquid fraction of Mg–
Zn–Y–Zr alloys reheated from the as-cast and extruded states are characterized and …

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 …

The objective of this chapter is to understand what semisolid alloys are and what are their
requirements in terms of liquid to solid transition (in rheocasting processes) or solid to liquid …

This work deals with the development of an appropriate constitutive model for semi-solid
thixoforming processes of metallic alloys. These processes rely on a very specific material …

Forging in semi-solid state significantly extends the possibilities of classical hot forging. In
order to fully exploit its potential, the process requires a specific and demanding …

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 …
