Abstract
Following the rapid growth of the automotive and communication industries, components with high quality and low cost are eagerly desired in China. Various technologies have been developed in China to meet the demand, while semi-solid processing (SSP) of alloys and composites is one of the most successfully developed and practically applied technologies. The major SSP applied in China is the rheocasting in terms of the Swirled Enthalpy Equilibration Device (SEED) process. In this review, we start with a brief reviewing some common slurry preparation methods and recent innovations of the SEED process. Subsequently, we describe the general situation and some recent examples of successful development and applications of SSP in China. Lastly, the future directions in SSP of alloys and composites are highlighted in this frontier research field at the end of this review.
