The effects of microstructural features and process parameters on the hottearing in direct chill cast aluminum alloys
Hot tearing is an irreversible failure that occurs above the the solidus temperature of an alloy during casting, in the presence of a liquid phase. These cracks possess serious quality implications in industrial direct chill (DC) casting process. During solidification, thermal stresses are induced d...
