pooltardvalu versioon, kui survevalule eelneva pooltardolekus tiksotroopse struktuuriga valumetalli saamiseks kasutatakse sfäärdendriitstruktuurse valuploki (selline struktuur saadakse pooltardmetalli intensiivse segamisega) ümbersulatust pooltardolekuni järgneva survevaluga survevalumasinal (vt tiksotroopia, pooltardvalu; vrd reovalu), a technique for producing semisolid metal castings, using a precast billets with non-dendritic microstructure that is normally produced by virgously stirring the melt as the bar is being cast; billets are heated into the semisolid temperature range and injected into the mold cavity by a die-casting machine (see: thixotropy, semisolid casting; compare: rheocasting)
