Effect of Grain Refiner C₂Cl₆on Tensile Properties of Squeeze Cast Mg Alloy AM60

Abstract:

In this study, the hexachloroethane (C₂Cl₆) as a refiner was introduced into a cylindrical squeeze casting of magnesium alloy AM60 with a diameter of 100 mm and a thickness of 25 mm. The casting was prepared under an applied pressure of 30 MPa. The results of tensile testing indicate the tensile properties for the C₂Cl₆-refined specimens were significantly improved over the untreated AM60 samples. Microstructure analyses with optical microscopes reveal the great grain refining capability of C₂Cl₆ on squeeze cast magnesium alloy AM60, which should be responsible for the enhanced tensile properties of the refined AM60.
