Semi-solid processing (SSP), including rheoforming and thixoforming, offers a promising opportunity to manufacture net-shaped parts with complex structure and excellent mechanical properties. Owing to its low cost and short process, rheoforming has b...
The 2024 nanocomposite reinforced with Al2O3 nanoparticles was fabricated by the ultrasonic assisted semisolid stirring (UASS) method and rheoformed into a cylinder component. Microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear behavior of the rheoformed...
The tribological behavior of the rheoformed and thixoformed nano-sized SiCp/7075 composite parts is investigated. The semisolid stirring temperature has a little influence on the friction coefficient and wear resistance of the rheoformed composite pa...
Rheo-forming is becoming the choice for production of high quality parts with diminished defects and fine integrity. In this paper, the novel self-inoculation rheo-diecasting (SIRD) process, in which semisolid slurry is produced by mixing two precurs...
Semisolid billet of the 7075 aluminum matrix composite reinforced with nano-sized SiC particles was first fabricated by an ultrasonic-assisted semisolid stirring method and rheoforming technology. Then it was thixoformed into a cylinder part under di...
