    摘要: An apparatus for processing materials which are highly corrosive while in a thixotropic state, for example aluminum. The apparatus includes a barrel which is adapted to receive the material through an inlet. In the barrel, the material is heated and subjected to shearing, forming a highly corrosive, semi-solid slurry which is discharged from the barrel through a nozzle. The barrel is constructed with an outer layer of a first material and an inner layer of an Nb-based alloy which is bonded to the outer layer. Positioned within the passageway of the barrel is a screw, the rotation of which operates to subject the material to shearing and move the material through the barrel. The screw is constructed with an outer layer of the Nb-based alloy that is molecularly bonded to an inner core of a different material. The Nb-based alloy is resistant to the corrosive effects of the material being processed.

    摘要: An apparatus for processing feed stock into a thixotropic state. The apparatus includes a barrel with first, second and nozzle sections. The first, second and nozzle sections are connected together and include surfaces that cooperatively define a central passageway through the barrel. The first section is constructed of a first material, the second end section is constructed of a second material and the nozzle is constructed of a third material. The first material exhibits a greater resistance to thermal fatigue and thermal shock than the second material while the nozzle section includes a bushing which inhibits heat transfer to the die, precluding excessive molding pressures and cycle times. The apparatus also includes a preheater for preheating the feed stock before entry into the barrel, a thermal gradient monitoring system, a novel robust nozzle construction, and a two-stage embodiment of the apparatus.

    摘要: An alloy feedstock for semi-solid metal injection molding. The alloy feedstock is an alloy material in particulate form and has a heterogeneous structure, a temperature range at 20% of the height of the peak of the main melting reaction greater than 40 °C, and having a ratio of the height of the peak of the eutectic reaction to the height of the main melting reaction of less than 0.5.
