Hot tearing and constitutive behaviour of semi-solid aluminum alloys

The occurrence of hot tearing during solidification is one of the major factors influencing both the quality and productivity of aluminum castings. In order to reduce the formation of hot tears, quantitative information regarding both hot tearing formation and semi-solid deformation is essential. In...
