Effect of Mechanical Stirring on Microstructural Morphology in Semisolid A356 Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The evolution of microstructural morphology in semisolid A356 alloy was researched under the mechanical stirring. The results showed that there was the effect of the stirring time on the microstructural morphology of semisolid A356 alloy, in which the microstructural morphology became better with the stirring time prolonging. There was also the effect of the stirring process on the microstructural morphology, in which the microstructural morphology obtained from the melt cooling to the reset solid volume fraction to start stirring was coarser than that obtained from the stirring above the liquidus temperature, but the microstructural morphology rapidly changes under the shearing force.
