Strain evolution during hot tearing in aluminium alloys

Hot tearing refers to cracks that frequently occur within the mushy zone during cooling from the liquid to solid state during shape and ingot casting. Both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys may be affected, and there is some evidence to suggest those with long freezing ranges are more susceptible. Du...
