The New Rheocasting process provides excellent mechanical properties with a positive solution for the cost of material that has been the weakness of the semi-solid casting process. The process is a kind of batch system. It uses a cup for each shot and a conventional automatic ladling system, which pours molten metal into the cup. This process produces semi-solid slurry including globular crystals directly from molten metal without stirring technique. The products made by this process showed good mechanical properties.
