Semisolid Die Casting of Hypereutectic Al–25%Si Alloy

Optimization and utilization of semisolid casting process for semisolid welding of Al-6061 alloy

Semisolid processing is one of the modern routes in sound and near net shape parts production.  Preparation of semisolid slurry using a cooling slope is increasingly becoming popular, primarily because of its simplicity in design and ease of control of the process. In this research, the microstructures of Al6061 semisolid alloy cast via a miniature cooling slope were investigated. The propertie...

Semisolid Processing of Al/β-SiC Composites by Mechanical Stirring Casting and High Pressure Die Casting

Die Steels and Improved Productivity in Die Casting

Computer-Aided System for Multi-Cavity Die-Casting Die-Design

Die-design for the die-casting process is a time consuming and complex activity that requires domain knowledge and vast experience of the die-designer besides information about manufacturing resources, part geometry, delivery time and cost preferences, etc. Complexity of the die-design activity further increases in case of a multi-cavity die. Currently available die-design systems lack in the l...

Effect of Aging Condition on Semisolid Cast 2024 Aluminum Alloy

2024 Aluminum alloy was squeezed cast by the Gas Induced Semi Solid (GISS) process. Effect of artificial aging on microstructure and mechanical properties of this alloy was studied in the present work. The solutionized specimens were aged hardened at temperatures of 175°C, 200°C, and 225°C under various time durations. The highest hardness of about 77.7 HRE was attained from specimen aged at th...
