Notes:
The needs for high-strength and lightweight structural materials have increased inautomotive and aerospace structural applications. Semi-solid processed light alloys have satisfiedthese requirements because of processing advantages and significant weight reduction.Conventional semi-solid casting methods have got a wide variety of problems and difficulties. Thecup-cast method that has been just developed is a novel process that make semi-solid casting aseasy as pouring the water from a pitcher into a drinking glass, and avoid all the problem anddifficulties of other semi-solid casting processes. Cup cast method is based on the heat and masstransfer and spherical equiaxed particles with controlling the nucleation and growth of solidparticles were produced. In this study the different factor of this method was optimized bymicro-structural investigation on the Al-A356 alloy. Pouring height and temperature, duration ofpouring, and cup coating had played important roles in this method
