In situ synchrotron tomography of granular deformation in semi-solid Al-Cu alloys

Optimising casting routes involving semi-solid deformation such as semi-solid processing and high-pressure die casting requires a fundamental understanding of the globule-scale mechanisms behind the macroscopic rheological behaviour. This thesis uses time-resolved 3D imaging to directly observe and...
