- Authors
Czerwinski, Frank
- Abstract
In the search for a single-step manufacturing process for components with various shapes, sound structural integrity, and properties comparable to the wrought state at a low cost similar to casting, semi-solid processing may provide the solution. Although semi-solid processing is already a viable manufacturing method, it ix still trader intensive development and a critical breakthrough is still expected. This article provides the characteristics of semi-solid processing, including historical and technical backgrounds, major concepts, and commercialization examples.
