Microstructure, material flow and tensile properties of A356 alloy thixoformed parts

The present work examines microstructure, tensile properties and quality (porosity level) of two thixoformed products, namely an assembly of three cylindrical rods from which tensile samples were machined out, and a cup-shaped part. The material is an A356 aluminium alloy and the microstructural con...
