Most commercial semi-solid processing (of which thixoforming is one type) utilises the conventional casting alloys A356 and A357.
Semi-solid processing of metallic materials has already been investigated for some time, however, this innovative production process has not fully established in the industry yet.
Thermal fatigue performance of plasma nitrided hot work tool steel was investigated under conditions encountered by thixoforging dies in semi-solid processing of steels.
In this paper, the effects of gate shape and solid fraction on filling behavior during semi-solid processing of A356 alloys have been demonstrated by experimental and computer simulation.
In order to adapt to the trend of "energy saving and emission reduction" and impel the practical application of semi solid processing (SSP) in China, the progress and application of semi-solid theory in China have been reviewed briefly and systematically.
Semi-solid processing (SSP) of A356 aluminum alloy was discussed via cooling slope (CS) method.
This paper reports on the semi-solid processing (thixoforming) of spray-formed AlSi metal matrix composites (MMCs).
We investigated the effect of saturation temperature on the solid-state processing of PC foams in the range of −30 °C to 80 °C.
It is also consistent with recent studies of melt and solid-state processing of blends indicating that in situ interpolymer radical coupling is useful in reactive compatibilization.
Increasingly, municipal plants are viewing methane as a beneficial by-product of solids processing, and they are capturing the methane to be used on-site.
The experts of the "Solids Processing Industrial Network" (SPIN) expect that the future will see two kinds of chemical plants: on one hand multipurpose, modular plants and on the other hand world-scale plants.
