A study on a thixoforming process using the thixotropic behavior of an aluminum alloy with an equiaxed microstructure

Alloys with an equiaxed microstructure exhibit significantly lower flow resistance in the semisolid state than alloys with a dendritic microstructure. Their thixotropic behavior (solidlike in the unperturbed state and liquidlike during shearing) has been the basis for a thixoforming process. It is a...
