The Effects of Applied Pressure and Die Temperature on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Squeeze Cast Al–4.8Cu–1.2Mg Wrought Alloy

Squeeze casting for metal alloys and composites: An overview of influence of process parameters on mechanical properties and microstructure

“…The matrix alloys for squeeze casting determine the processing parameters [5] , and the squeeze casting's quality depends on optimum process parameters [29][30][31] . Parameters such as squeeze pressure, pressurization velocity, melt/pouring temperature, die temperature and their effects on microstructure and mechanical properties of castings have been extensively investigated [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] . For example, Wang et al [41] reported that the high quality of the squeeze cast aluminum alloy scroll can be obtained using the semi-solid squeeze casting process under optimal parameter values.…”
