Solidification of Aluminum Alloys (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780873395694)

This volume addresses progress in the application of solidificationprinciples to the production of aluminum alloys. Topics includemicrostructure evolution, phase formation and solidification pathanalysis, grain refinement, micro/macro-segregation, mechanicalbehavior/properties in the mushy state, solidificationcracking/tearing, gas/shrinkage porosity formation, effect ofimpurities/trace elements, and the impact of cast structure on thesubsequent fabrication and properties of finished products. Paperson the experimental or theoretical simulation of solidificationaspects of casting processes including direct chill casting, continuous casting, shaped casting, semi-solid processing, andother advanced casting technologies are also included, as well asexamples showing the use of solidification principles to solveindustrial problems.

From 2004 TMS Annual Meeting to be held inCharlotte, North Carolina, March 14 - 18, 2004.
