Study of Surface Segregation Defect of 7075 Aluminum Alloy in Semi-Solid Squeeze Casting

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this present research was to study the surface liquid segregation (SLS) of 7075 aluminum alloy formed by semi-solid squeeze casting together with the gas induce semi-solid technique (GISS). The rheocasting times of 3, 5, 10, and 20 seconds, were used in GISS processes. The cross sectional areas of specimens near the mold were used to measure the surface segregation. The results revealed that longer rheocasting time gave higher amount of solid fraction in the semi-solid slurry. In addition, it was found that when solid fraction increased, the surface segregation increased.
