The effect of billets extruded by a curved and flat-face die on the semisolid characteristics and tensile properties of thixoformed products (2013)
Journal Article

In this study, A356 aluminum billets in different extruded states are used as feedstock for the thixoforming. The extrusion billets were fabricated by a hot extrusion process through a flat-face and a curved die. After the induction reheating of the...

Processing of low-carbon cast steels for offshore structural applications (2013)
Journal Article

Cast steels with carbon contents of approximately 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% (low-carbon steels) were processed. The investigated steels were first cast. Fully lath martensite was obtained after austenitization and water quenching of the cast steels. The... Read More about Processing of low-carbon cast steels for offshore structural applications.

Rheoforging of thin case for IT devices with optimal process parameters and new type die design (2013)
Journal Article

The latest trend in the cell phone component industry to use aluminium and magnesium alloys has resulted in the advanced processing technologies. Semi-solid forming process that is advantageous for the mass production of thin parts with complex shape...

Characteristics of thixoformed A356 aluminum thin plates with microchannels (2013)
Journal Article

A356 aluminum thin plates with a thickness of 1.2 mm were produced via thixoforming process under different temperatures ranging from 585°C to 610°C. In addition to large primary α-Al grains, unique fine secondary α-Al grains (equivalent diameter bel... Read More about Characteristics of thixoformed A356 aluminum thin plates with microchannels.

Thixoforming A356 aluminum bipolar plates at high solid fractions (2013)
Journal Article

Thixoforming investigations have been developed primarily for the manufacturing of bulk components, and the current knowledge is very limited with respect to the fabrication of thin cross sections of alloys. We studied the effectiveness of thixoformi... Read More about Thixoforming A356 aluminum bipolar plates at high solid fractions.
