Abstract
Rheological forming, a semi-solid metal forming process, is one of the manufacturing technologies for near net shape forming. The technology has attracted global academic research interests in recent years. This paper presents the current status of industrial applications of the semi-solid rheological forming technology in the China mainland. A variety of semi-solid slurry preparation techniques have been adopted including electromagnetic stirring and low superheat pouring. Dedicated semi-solid rheological forming equipment developed by the local manufacturers have been highlighted. This paper also makes an attempt to review the crucial factors for successful industrial application of the semi-solid metal forming process.
