Evaluation of the Enhanced Constrained Rod Casting Test for Hot Tearing of 7xxx Aluminium Alloys

This study validates the Enhanced Constrained Rod Casting (ECRC) test for wide-freezing-range 7xxx aluminium alloys by demonstrating that while crack-width scores lack statistical significance, fracture location statistics and peak contraction loads provide repeatable and reliable metrics for assessing hot tearing susceptibility when short and long rods are interpreted separately.
