Writing By Reza Haghayeghi : Twin screw melt conditioners are used for mixing purposes and are mainly used for polymer processing. These conditioners (extruders) can be used for liquid metal processing in which liquid metal/slurry is subjected to high shear stress. This process results in grain refinement of structure. In this article, in a co-rotating twin…
Reza Haghayeghi Abstract: The effects of ultrasonic treatment (UT) and electromagnetic stirring (EMS) forces, Individually and in combination, Prior to high pressure die-casting of AA5754 alloy were assessed. The liquid of alloy was subjected to UT, EMS and the combined style and then transferred to the shot chamber. The grain size, Mechanical properties, Gas content…
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights by Reza Haghayeghi In thixoforming processes control of the solid-to-liquid transition and grain size of the mush metal is essential. If eutectic melting is avoided, subsequent melting of the primary phase should be controllable. To achieve this, the sensitivity of the liquid fraction, dfL/dT, at the desired liquid fraction,…
