Composition and microstructure evolution in semi-solid cast Al-Zn alloys

Semi-solid metal casting produces a low porosity, globular microstructure, which makes it an attractive competitor to wrought parts. This research explores the suitability of utilising heat treatable, Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys for the production of high strength parts for the automotive and aerospace indus...
