In-Production Rheometry of Semi-Solid Metal Slurries

Semi-solid aluminium alloy processing (SSM) has advanced into a more mature process with many applications. The current paper aims to investigate the in-process behaviour of production slurry using an engineering approach estimate properties. A method assess rheological properties semi-solid metal was tested and found capable producing meaningful measurements. foundations this were use Rushton turbine setup for assessment through model optimize factors included in rheology. In analysis static dynamic part viscosity, it concluded that turns increasingly solid increasing fractions where shear strength dominates rheology compared components. yield also significantly dominant fraction, suggesting industrial-scale models based on Ostwald–de Waale Carreau modelling is far from sufficient process, such as RheoMetal very rapid generation.
