Semi-Solid Metal Processing: "Unlimited" Flow Velocity without Turbulence in Thin Cast Sections

Abstract:

The objective of this presentation is to show and explain why semisolid slurries can fill thin sections at seemingly unlimited flow velocity; the suitability of SSM parts with very thin sections is a characteristic of the process that is often overlooked by the industry. This fact provides a unique opportunity for new advanced applications of the process, not possible by any of the existing metal-mold casting methods.
