Abstract

Uniaxial compression tests on semi-solid AZ61 alloy fabricated by stain-induced activation (SIMA) process and the conventional casts were carried out using the Gleedle-1500 dynamic material testing machine. The relationships between stress and stain were analyzed. The numerical relationships among processing parameters (strain rate z ε& strain z ε temperature T liquid volume fraction L f ) and stress were studied. The proposed constitutive equation was established for semi-solid AZ61 magnesium alloy using the multiple nonlinear regression method. A scientific basic provided for both numerical simulation of processing process of semi- solid AZ61 alloy and rational choice and control of processing parameters.
