Gerhard Hirt, Reiner Kopp - Thixoforming: Semi-solid Metal Processing
Published: 2009-03-30 | ISBN: 3527322043 | PDF | 474 pages | 6 MB
Recent research has investigated the unique flow behavior in semisolid state exhibited by metals and alloys. This has led to semisolid metal forming, called thixoforming, which is highly relevant to the manufacture of complex near-net-shape components in the interest of increasingly sophisticated products. This has recently been demonstrated by the industrial scale production of aluminum components, and there are impressive laboratory examples for semisolid forming of iron and steels.
Offering a sound technological overview, while also including the fundamental aspects, this book provides the knowledge needed to master the highly challenging process characteristics for successful application in industrial production. It summarizes the first-hand experience gained from twelve years of collaborative research covering materials science, rheology, casting and forming, control and surface technology as well as the modeling of flow behavior, tool engineering and systems engineering, and thus treats all the vital aspects of this field.
For materials scientists, physicists, engineers, and those working in the metal processing industry.
