Study on Filling Capacity of Semi-Solid Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

The Semi-Solid Processing technology is an innovation manufacturing process. The filling capacity of the semi-solid metal has very important effects on the properties and qualities of the work pieces. Lots of heat factors have effects on the filling capacity of semi-solid metal. The filling capacity of semi-solid AZ91D magnesium alloy has been studied by means of fluidity test. The results indicate that the filling length increases with the increasing of the temperature and the filling capacity of semi-solid magnesium alloy with shearing is better than that of without shearing. The lower temperature, the more obvious the effect of shearing on the filling capacity is. However, if the temperature is very low, the flow of the slurry is poor and the effect of shearing on filling capacity decreases. The microstructures of semi-solid magnesium alloy after shearing is spherical and homogeneous.
