Evaluation of volume fraction of solid in alloys formed by semisolid processing
Source abstract
Abstract
Three of the methods used to determine the volume fraction of solid as a function of temperature in alloys in the semisolid state, namely utilization of thermodynamic data, thermal analysis, and quantitative metallography on quenched microstructures, are studied. The accuracy of each method is evaluated and the advantages and limitations are recognized. It is demonstrated that, while all methods are approximate, they offer distinct and different advantages.
