No references found			However, an alternative cliecasting process--semi solid rheocasting (SSR), developed by the Idra Group SRL, Travagliato, Italy, and based on a Massachusetts Institute of Technology patent--has been effective in improving metallurgic casting quality without increasing costs. Semi-solid diecasting produces solid components by Modern Casting In addition to its range of diecasting and squeeze casting systems, IDRA showcased its SSR Technology for semi-solid rheocasting. GIFA 2007, Part one: showcasing metalcasting's cutting edge: as the ... by Modern Casting This new process does not use billets, but instead cools the molten metal to a semi-solid state at the same site as the die, eliminating the need to transport the slurry from the sod-maker to the die as in regular rheocasting.
