The semi-solid metal forming using high pressures has been applied for several years.In contrast,low pressure casting,such as gravity sand casting,has not been widely studied even though it may help reduce porosity defects and offer a better casting yield.A semi-solid gravity sand casting process using the Gas Induced Semi-Solid process was investigated.The results show that the process can produce complete parts with no observable defects.The ultimate tensile strength and elongation data of semi-solid cast samples are higher than those of the liquid cast samples.In addition,the semi-solid sand casting process gives a better casting yield.It can be concluded that the semi-solid sand casting of an aluminum alloy using the GISS process is a feasible process.
