The cooling slope technique has been developed in recent years, which controls the nucleation and growth of the primary grains during solidification to achieve fine and non-dendritic microstructures. In this study, A356 Al alloys were processed through a modified cooling slope technique to obtain fine, non-dendritic microstructures, in which the cooling rate of the cast crucible was controlled. Three process parameters, namely pouring temperature, inclined slope angle, and the cooling rate of the cast crucible, were varied during the processing. The cooling slope was water-cooled with a constant water flow rate. The solid fraction and the size distributions of the primary grains along the vertical and horizontal positions of the cast ingots were measured individually. The macro-segregation was examined in terms of the distribution of the solid fraction. The yields of the ingots were calculated for studying the efficiency of the cooling slope technique. The effects of the three process parameters on the microstructures, macro-segregation, and yields were studied by the Taguchi method.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of thixoformed AlSi12Cu2NiMg (AЛ25) aluminium alloy were investigated. Cooling slope method was employed in order to produce non-dendritic billets. Thixoforming process parameters were determined as follows: die temperature of 250 °C, billet temperature of 555 - 560 °C, punch velocity of 7 mm/s. Mechanical properties of automotive piston with ultimate strength of 309 MPa, yield strength of 274 MPa and elongation of 6.8 % in the T6 condition were obtained successfully, implying success of advantages of cooling slope method.

In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of thixoformed 1973 (AlZn5.5Mg2.4Cu1.7Zr) wrought aluminium alloy were investigated. A cooling slope was used to produce non-dendritic billets. Thixoforming process parameters were determined as follows: die temperature of 250 °C, feedstock temperature of 600 - 605 °C, punch velocity of 7 mm/s. Mechanical properties of thixoformed with ultimate strength of 461 MPa and elongation of 3,1 % in the T2 condition. The lower properties of the thixoformed material are mainly associated with porosity.
