Abstract
Liquid metallurgy is a cost-effective way to produce aluminium (Al) alloy products. Alloying and reinforcing in aluminium-matrix is the most practiced one in the liquid metallurgical technique, especially for mass production. Numerous developments have been observed in this technique over the past decade. This paper reviews most of the developments in processing techniques, along with providing basic information and parameters. Also, the shortcomings of each process have been significantly summarized, and potential research opportunities have been discussed. The developments in the batch and mass liquid metallurgical technique for Al have been discussed. The latest development recommendation for processing parameters and techniques to reduce the cost and time of production has been studied in detail. Based on the literature review and various published patents, the most relevant technique is a bottom-feeding continuous casting technique to produce metal matrix composites and aluminium alloys.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
