Understanding of Rheology of Semisolid A356 Alloy during Isothermal Deformation – An Overview

Authors(1) :-Sudip Simlandi

In recent days, semisolid metal forming (SSF) is a developing casting technique for producing critical aerospace, military and automotive components. The importance of the SSF process relies primarily on distinct rheological behaviour of the semisolid alloy during casting. For successful implimentation of the SSF technique, the rheology of semisolid slurries has to be properly studied. Thus, in the present work, the author offered an overview of the rheological behavior of A356 alloy in semisolid state. The author discussed on models for evolution of apparent viscosity of the semisolid slurry during isothermal deformation.
