Simulation of LM6 alloy with Ti-B refinement in squeeze casting process

Squeeze casting is a technique of casting which comes with the advantage of making casting products almost without porosity. It combines the advantages of casting and forging process and results in higher quality of products compare to the conventional casting techniques. Squeeze casting is widely u...
