Tensile Properties of the Subsurface and Center Regions of AA6111 Direct-Chill-Cast Ingot in Semisolid State and Their Hot Tearing Susceptibility

AA6111 alloys are widely used in the automotive industry owing to their high strength/weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and reasonable formability. During their manufacture through ingot metallurgy via direct chill (DC) casting, the alloys often suffer from hot tearing, limiting DC casting pr...
