      Yield behavior of commercial Al-Si alloys in the semisolid state 

      Pan, Q. Y.; Apelian, D.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2004)
      Systematic experimental work and modeling efforts have been conducted to characterize the yield behavior of commercial aluminum alloys in the semisolid state. In this study, extensive compression experiments were performed ...
