Yang Xiangjie. Influence of Vacuum on Mechanical Properties of Castings by Thixocasting[J]. Special Casting & Nonferrous Alloys, 2002,(S1):249-250.DOI:
Influence of vacuum aided process on mechanical properties and microstructure of castings by two kinds of gating systems(fan shaped single runner and branch runner)was discussed.Comparing vacuum with non vacuum conditions
it was shown that vacuum had significant effect on castings by fan shaped single runner gating system but little effect on those by branch runner gating system.
