[en] The aim of this work is to attempt the application of A357 Al-Si-Mg cast alloy in the thixoextrusion process, evaluating the different parameters effect. Thixoextrusion offers several advantages compared to traditional hot-extrusion such as lower pressure, minor friction forces, higher material fluidity, longer tool life, etc. This type of semi-solid process requires high solid fractions (0.5
