Title: Microstructure Development and Characteristics of Semisolid Aluminum Alloys

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/795019· OSTI ID:795019

A drop forge viscometer was employed to investigate the flow behavior under very rapid compression rates of A357, A356 diluted with pure aluminum and Al-4.5%Cu alloys. The A357 alloys were of commercial origin (MHD and SIMA) and the rheocast, modified A356 and Al-4.5Cu alloys were produced by a process developed at the solidification laboratory of MIT.
