Abstract
CSIR-Rheo technology process which involves the preparation of metal slurry direct
from liquid alloys by stirring and cooling was applied for treatment of Al-7%Si-0.35%Mg alloy,
A356, to the Semi-Solid Metal state. Plates were cast in steel moulds with a 50 Ton High Pressure
Die Casting machine. Heat treatments T4 and T6 were given to the samples. Butt laser welding was
performed on the heat treated and as fabricated plates (F). Tensile properties, hardness profile,
microstructure of the weld, heat affected zone and base metal were examined. Some comments on
outcomes of the research are included.
