A new continuous rheocasting process for steels and high temperature alloys has been developed by Inland Steel incorporating a dual chamber casting machine utilizing separate electromagnetic stirrers around each chamber. Initial casts on the rheocaster were plagued by breakouts and very rough as-cast surface morphology. The mechanism for solidifica...

A new continuous rheocasting process for steels and high temperature alloys has been developed by Inland Steel incorporating a dual chamber casting machine utilizing separate electromagnetic stirrers around each chamber. The caster parameters were varied in a series of experiments to determine the optimum combination to provide a fine degenerate de...

... Semisolid metal processing can produce high quality products with fewer raw materials and energy saving. So, it has received much attention and been widely studied and applied in many fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . As a novel near-net-shape forming process, continuous semisolid extrusion process (CSEP) has been developed on the basis of continuous casting and extrusion (CAXTEX) process [9][10][11] . ...
