Evolution Characteristics of Primary Phase in A356 Al Alloy during Isothermal Holding in Solid-Liquid Phase Region

Article Preview

Abstract:

Evolution characteristics of primary phase in A356 alloy at the different isothermal holding temperatures and time were investigated. The results showed that there were the effects of the isothermal holding temperature and time on the evolution of primary phase, and microstructure changed from dendritic-like to rosette-like, and then to particle- or globular-like with the decrease of holding temperature. The suitable technology in the test was obtained, in which when being held at 600°C for 5min, the roundness and size of primary became better.
