Controlled Diffusion Solidification of 2024, 6082 and 7075 Al Alloys via Tilt-Pour Casting Process

Controlled diffusion solidification (CDS) is an innovative casting route for Al alloys to obtain a cast part with a non-dendritic morphology of the primary Al phase during solidification, similar to those obtained in the semi-solid rheocasting process. The process involves mixing two alloy melts with specific individual compositions and temperatures to produce the desired final alloy by mixing and immediately casting in a mould. CDS enables …
