Direct thermal method is one of the semi-solid metal processing technique to produce a globular microstructure feedstock billet for thixoforming. In this experimental work, the molten Aluminium 6061 with a temperature of 660 °C and 680 °C was poured into a thin cylindrical copper mould. The molten A...
