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 …

The semisolid metal joining (SSMJ) process or thixojoining process has recently been
developed based on the principles of SSM processing, which is a technology that involves …

The ultrasound-assisted brazing of 1060 Al alloy using a Zn–14Al hypereutectic filler metal
was investigated at different temperatures. The effects of brazing temperature on the …

Interfacial strength and structure of stainless steel–semi-solid aluminum alloy clad metal are
studied by means of the experimental and analytical methods. Using semi-solid joining …

A method to reach the globular weld structure of A356 aluminum alloy using stirring the
localized semisolid zone during butt-joining is developed. Since the heat conductivity of this …

Semisolid stir joining of AZ91 alloy was investigated by using mechanical stirring and Mg–
25wt% Zn interlayer. A 2mm-thick interlayer was located between two 7.5 mm-thick AZ91 …

A high quality joint of zinc based pressure die cast alloys can be hardly achieved by
conventional fusion welding. In this study, a novel technique to achieve the globular weld …

In this study for the first time, the effects of decrease in heat inflow to the weld metal in friction
stir process by utilising semisolid processing and decreasing the pin rotational speed as …

Cold‐work tool steel is considered to be a nonweldable metal due to its high percentage
content of carbon and alloy elements. The application of a new process of the semisolid …

This paper reviews the foundations of modelling of materials processing and methodologies
of analysis outside the traditional discretization of the domain (eg finite elements, finite …
