Abstract
Optimising semi-solid processing and accurately modelling semi-solid deformation requires a fundamental understanding of the globule-scale mechanisms that cause the macroscopic rheological response. In this work, apparatus and analysis techniques are being developed for the time-resolved, three-dimensional imaging of semi-solid alloy deformation. This paper overviews synchrotron X-ray tomography results on globular Al-15wt%Cu deformed at 0.7 solid fraction using extrusion. The globule-globule interactions in response to load were quantified in terms of the response of individual globules with respect to globule translation, rotation, and deformation. The potential of time-resolved X-ray tomography in the study of semi-solid alloy deformation is then discussed.
