The Influence of Prior Natural Aging on the Subsequent Artificial Aging Response of Aluminium Alloy A356 with Respective Globular and Dendritic Microstructures
Alloy A356 is one of the most popular alloys used for semisolid metal forming. The heat treatment cycles that are currently applied to semisolid processed components are mostly those that are in use for dendritic casting alloys. The assumption has been made that these heat treatments are not necessa...
