Thixoforming of an Fe-Rich Al-Si-Cu Alloy—Thermodynamic Characterization, Microstructural Evolution, and Rheological Behavior
Thixoforming depends on three factors: (a) the thermodynamic stability of the solid-to-liquid transformation in the presence of temperature fluctuations; (b) the size and morphology of the solid particles in the liquid in the semisolid state; and (c) the rheology of the semisolid slurry during forma...
