Development of a Versatile Rheocasting Technology
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Since 2003, a concerted effort between Alcan Inc. (ARDC: Arvida Research and Development Centre) and the Aluminium Technology Centre (ATC) of the National Research Council of Canada is underway to develop a technology, dubbed SEED (Swirled Enthalpy Equilibration Device), to produce semi-solid aluminium feedstock. This technology, patented by Alcan Inc., is a simple process offering many advantages over thixocasting, especially for reducing the cost of feedstock. The process involves two main steps: 1) heat extraction to achieve a desired liquid/solid mixture, and 2) drainage of an excess liquid to produce a self-supporting semi-solid slug that is cast in a high pressure press. This paper reports that the SEED technology is applicable to a number of aluminium alloys and can be easily adapted to produce a wide range of slug dimensions. Furthermore, since the heat transfer plays a predominant role during the manufacture of the semi-solid slurry, its analysis is also presented.</div>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
