Ground freezing ′85 — A summary

The Fourth International Symposium on Ground Freezing was held at the Keio Plaza Hotel, Sapporo, Japan from August 5–7, 1985. The Symposium was organized by a National Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Kinosita, Director of the Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University. Two hundred and nine participants from 13 countries presented 107 papers that were reviewed and prepared into two proceedings volumes. Volume 1 was published by A.A. Balkema Publishers and Volume 2 was published by the Hokkaido University Press.The Symposium was divided into four main sessions:

• 1.I Thermal Properties and Processes (20 papers);
• 2.II Frost Action (24 papers);
• 3.III Mechanical Properties and Processes (31 papers);
• 4.IV Engineering Design and Case Histories (32 papers).

Achievements in the understanding and use of artificial ground freezing can be seen in the increasing number of projects utilizing this technique to manage difficult problems in ground engineering. These symposia permit the sharing of experience, leading toward innovative and economical designs. The proceedings provide an excellent record of advances in basic knowledge to improve the state-of-the-art in artificial ground freezing.     

Structure and properties of AIMgSi1 alloy tailored for semi-solid forming

Thixoforming requires semi-solid slurries, which contain a high volume fraction of non-dendritic solid phase with special grain morphology. Volume fraction, geometry and connectivity of the solid -phase has to be kept within narrow limits. The paper illustrates the development of a new aluminium based wrought alloy AIMgSi1 alloy, adapted with barium, characterised by a microstructure which exhibits a low sensitivity towards fluctuations in process parameters resulting in improved mechanical properties of the alloy. The rheological behaviour of the new alloy by means of backward extrusion experiments is described, and an overview of the static and dynamic strength properties is given that can be achieved when the alloy is processed by means of the New Rheocasting process.
