The objective of this presentation is to show and explain why semisolid slurries can fill thin sections at seemingly unlimited flow velocity the suitability of SSM parts with very thin sections is a characteristic of the process that is often overlooked by the industry. This characteristic provides a unique opportunity for new advanced applications of the process, not possible by other existing metal-mold casting methods. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Predictions of structure breakdown, buildup and shear banding in semisolid suspensions
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Constantinos, N.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2008)When SSM material is subjected to a sudden transient the rate of buildup (aging) is negligible compared to the rate of breakdown (shear rejuvenation). While this is generally true, due to prolonged processing or the geometry ...

Rheological effects of strusture breakdown in semisolid slurries
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Florides, G. C.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Apelian, D. (2004)An essential element for the integration of the semisolid metal (SSM) process in the production of complex commercial components is the availability of accurate mathematical and computational tools that could describe both ...

Squeeze flow of semi-solid slurriesAAA
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Florides, G. C.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2013)A standard method used to determine material properties of semi-solid slurries is the squeeze flow experiment in which a fixed amount of material is squeezed under constant force or velocity. The relation between the force ...
