Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A step-by-step procedure to determine the quality of ingots has been developed. This procedure is built on the reduced pressure test and is designed to guide the foundrymen to decide (1) whether the lot of ingots should be accepted and/or (2) what remedial liquid metal processing should be done to bring the melt to the desired levels. A case study on two aluminum alloy A356 ingots is also presented. The results show wide variability in the initial quality of the ingots. Moreover, traditional metallographic techniques to characterize the quality from the slice of the reduced pressure test sample have been shown to provide similar results to those obtained from computerized tomography.
