Author:Müller, H; Govender, G; Stumpf, WEDate:Jun 2011Semi-solid metal high pressure die casting was used to produce plates from traditional wrought Al-Mg-Si alloys 6082 and 6004, as well as from traditional casting Al-Si-Mg alloys A356 and F357. The high Si-content of the casting alloys offer ...Read more
Author:Moller, H; Govender, G; Stumpf, WEDate:2008The heat treatment cycles that are currently applied to semi-solid processed components are mostly those that are in use for dendritic casting alloys. These heat treatments are not necessarily the optimum treatments. It is shown that a decrease ...Read more
