  • A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting
    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting Stephen P. Midson The Midson Group, Inc. Denver, Colorado USA Andrew Jackson Arthur Jackson & Co., Ltd. Brighouse UK Abstract The first semi-solid casting process to be commercialized was thixocasting, where a pre-cast billet is re-heated to the semi-solid solid casting temperature. Advantages of thixocasting include the production of high quality components, while the main disadvantage is the higher cost associated with the production of the pre-cast billets. Commercial pressures have driven casters to examine a different approach to semi-solid casting, where the semi-solid slurry is generated directly from the liquid adjacent to a die casting machine. These processes are collectively referred to as rheocasting, and there are currently at least 15 rheocasting processes either in commercial production or under development around the world. This paper will describe technical aspects of both thixocasting and rheocasting, comparing the procedures used to generate the globular, semi-solid slurry. Two rheocasting processes will be examined in detail, one involved in the production of high integrity properties, while the other is focusing on reducing the porosity content of conventional die castings. Key Words Semi-solid casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, aluminum alloys 22 / 1 Introduction Semi-solid casting is a modified die casting process that reduces or eliminates the porosity present in most die castings [1] . Rather than using liquid metal as the feed material, semi-solid processing uses a higher viscosity feed material that is partially solid and partially liquid. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful gas porosity can be essentially eliminated.

  • Microalloyed Structural Plate Rolling Heat Treatment and Applications
    MICROALLOYED STRUCTURAL PLATE ROLLING HEAT TREATMENT AND APPLICATIONS A. Streisselberger, V. Schwinn and R. Hubo AG der Dillinger Huettenwerke 66748 Dillingen, Germany Abstract Structural plates with a superior combination of mechanical properties and weldability are the result of a synergistic effect of microalloyed low carbon equivalent composition plus sophisticated thermo-mechanical control process variants or heat treatment during production in the plate mill. The paper considers both the production routes of such plate and the applications based on the beneficial type of microstructure and property profile. Introduction At the beginning of the 21st century sophisticated materials are used in the challenging field of civil engineering, construction and architecture. As an important type of material modern structural heavy plates are considered in this paper in terms of their development, production and use. The understanding of the role of microstructural features in relation to alloying elements, in particular microalloying elements, will be explored. In addition the exploitation of modern facilities in a plate mill, the tayloring of property combinations and the resulting possibilities for the construction industries are explained and illustrated with selected examples. Production of Structural Plates Requirements Made on the Plate Production Process The following requirements are generally made on heavy plate: It must possess: · The specified dimensions within narrow tolerances and with good flatness (thicknesses may range from 5 to 500mm and widths from around 1 to 5m ); · The yield and tensile strength required by the designers (yield strengths from around 235N/mm² to above 1100N/mm² can be specified); · The toughness required by designers which may include low temperature; · Ease the fabrication (e.g.

Thesticking of bare metal to roll surfaces wasstrong!y dependenton the high temperature tensile strength and the oxidation resistance of the stainless steel, Asteel having higher tensile strength and lower oxidation resistance exhibited better resistance against sticking. The sticking occurred in increasing severity in the order of 430J1 L, 436L, 430 and 409L. It was clarified that a high speedsteel (HSS) rol[ wasmorebeneficial to prevent sticking compared to a Hi-Cr roll.

  • Effect of Homogenization on Recrystallization and Precipitation
    Materials Transactions, Vol. 49, No. 2 (2008) pp. 250 to 259 #2008 The Japan Institute of Metals Effect of Homogenization on Recrystallization and Precipitation Behavior of 3003 Aluminum Alloy Hsin-Wen Huang, Bin-Lung Ou and Cheng-Ting Tsai Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Central University, Chung-Li, Taiwan 320, R.O. China This investigation studies 3003 aluminum alloys for automobile heat exchangers. The effects of precipitation in homogenization treatments, recrystallization in extrusion and brazing on extrusion forming ability and final material properties are examined. At first, fine second phase particles were precipitated during the 460C Â 9 h homogenization treatment and coarse particles were precipitated by homogenization treatments with 600C Â 9 h. Second, when the precipitation were not plentiful and fine enough during extrusion, the amount of solution dominated the extrusion breakout pressure, and recrystallization was easier; on the contrary, the domination state was replaced by plentiful and fine precipitated particles, and recrystallization became more difficult. Additionally, the hardness after extrusion was lower in the complete recrystallization position, and higher in the incomplete recrystallization position. Finally, in brazing, the sample under the 460C Â 9h condition (a) underwent full recrystallization from partial recrystallization with a reduction in strength; the local position of the edge of the sample under the 600C Â 9h ! 460C Â 3 h condition (c) exhibited a second recrystallization and a significant drop in hardness.
