Abstract

A technique combining time-resolved computed tomography (4D-CT) and three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) was employed to investigate semisolid deformation in an Al-10mass%Cu alloy with the equiaxed grain structure. The diffraction patterns and reconstructed 3D images were used to quantitatively analyse the translational and rotational motions of solid grains in the semisolid alloy. Finally, the motion of solid grains and the expansion of porosity during the compression tests are discussed on the basis of in situ observations.
