Colloidal silica, a suspension of fine amorphous silica particles in water, behaves uniquely when used as a binder in ...

From lab to industry The researchers tested their approach across various Al alloy systems, and also demonstrated scalability by using water-cooled copper mould casting and thermomechanical processing ...

While a lower quenching cooling rate exhibits little effect on grain size, it can cause twinning to disappear, increase precipitates, weaken texture, and make the alloy brittle after aging.

A schematic diagram of slabs continuous casting is shown in Figure 1. The liquid steel flows into the cooled mold from the tundish. Due to the high-speed flow of the cooling water on the copper plate ...

11. Continuous Casting In continuous casting, molten metal is continuously poured through a mould and cut off at designated intervals to create individual parts. It results in consistent castings that ...

Freeze casting is an elegant, cost-effective manufacturing technique to produce highly porous materials with custom-designed hierarchical architectures, well-defined pore orientation, and ...

1 Introduction In the continuous casting of steel, mold powder is added on top of the liquid steel in the copper mold. The heat flux from the steel causes the raw material particles, which are not in ...
