Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of A356 Alloy and A6061 Alloy through Rheo, Upsetting, Thixo, Forming Process, and T6 Heat Treatment

The thixo process has the benefit of producing a semi-solid material in which fine primary α-Al grains are uniformly distributed. However, it also has the disadvantage of a costly raw material billet. In this study, a semi-solid slurry was prepared from the rheo process by cooling and electromagneti...
