The semi-solid casting will have a higher internal integrity, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy than the conventional castings. This process can reduce the manufacturing costs and finished weight for critical components. The semi-solid casting are capable of greater dimensional repeatbility, this supplies considerable savings when extensive machining, salvage and scrap are key variables in the current automotive product. One of the most important factor regarding the semi-solid die casting process are the reheating method of the raw materials to the semi-solid state. Therefore, in this present work, the horizontal type induction heating system to obtain the optimal reheating conditions suitable for semi-solid die casting process was designed and manufactured. And the microstructure of reheated materials was investigated.
