In this review, we present an overview of significant developments in the field of in situ and
operando (ISO) X-ray imaging of solidification processes. The objective of this review is to …

Center segregation and banded intergranular segregation (B-IGS) should be well controlled
to improve the mechanical properties of twin-roll cast (TRC) aluminum alloys, especially for …

Semi-solid deformation mechanisms are important in a range of manufacturing and natural
phenomena, which range from squeeze casting to magma flows. Using fast synchrotron X …

For twin-roll casting (TRC) aluminum alloys, research on segregation defects has mainly
focused on center segregation. However, intergranular segregation has been rarely …

Aluminium alloys are becoming increasingly popular due to the demands for high-
performance lightweight components, and semi-solid metal processing (SSM) is a technique …

Abstract In recent years, Non-Heat Treatable High Pressure Die Casting Al alloys (NHT-
HPDC Al alloys) have been proposed and developed for integrated die casting in the …

The study of mushy-zone deformation in steels is important for limiting defect formation in
continuous casting. Here, we use in situ synchrotron radiography to quantify the shear …

Rheological transitions from suspension flow to granular deformation and shear cracking
are investigated in equiaxed-globular semi-solid alloys by combining synchrotron …

The particulate discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate crystal rearrangement
during equiaxed solidification of Al alloys for a range of morphologies across the globular to …

Semi-solid alloys are deformed in a wide range of casting processes; an improved
understanding and modelling capability is required to minimise defect formation and …
