Effect of Holding Time on Rheological Characteristics of the Semisolid Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

The semisolid shear rheological properties of AZ91D alloy were tested. The effect of holding time on the rheological characteristics was investigated. The results show that: during the shear rheological test at 570 °C, a critical shear stress and a maximum shear stress are happened. And with the holding time increasing, solid fraction decreasing and solid particles distributing more uniformly, the rheological rate increases, but the critical shear stress and the maximum shear stress decrease.
