Author:Mazibuko, NE; Curle, UADate:Jun 2011During rheo-high pressure die casting (R-HPDC) of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys a coarse eutectic phase is formed. This eutectic phase is difficult to take into solution because of its size and it would require longer solution heat treatment times. The ...Read more
Author:Curle, UA; Wilkins, JD; Govender, GDate:2011Industrial semi-solid casting trials of aluminum A356 brake calipers were performed over five days with the CSIR-RCS and highpressure die casting process cell. Consecutive visual passed castings were used as the measure of process stability, ...Read more
Author:Curle, UA; Moller, H; Wilkins, JDDate:Mar 2011It is demonstrated experimentally that using the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Rheo Casting System and high pressure die casting it is possible to semi-solid process and cast into a shape high purity aluminium without a ...Read more
Author:Curle, UA; Möller, H; Wilkins, JDDate:Feb 2011It is demonstrated experimentally that by using the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Rheo Casting system and high pressure die casting it is possible to semi-solid process and cast into a shape unmodified Al–Si binary eutectic ...Read more
