Summary
This paper presents experimental results on steel thixoforming. The influence of thermal exchanges with tools and environment on the semi-solid response is analysed.
Several rheological experiments such as compression, extrusion or radial filling test were developed to understand the semi-solid steel behaviour and determine the parameters that have a major influence on thixoforming.
Actually, the temperature of the slug and probably the solid fraction was found a first order parameter while the morphology of the solid phase plays a minor role in our experiments.
