Thixotropic Behavior of Semisolid AlSi6Mg2 Alloy under Cyclic Shear Deformation

Abstract:

In the present work, the rheological model (CF model) developed by Chen and Fan[1] for semisolid metal slurries (SSMS) is applied to investigate the thixotropy of the AlSi6Mg2 alloy under cyclic shear deformation. The present investigation indicates that the semisolid AlSi6Mg2 alloy has the thixotropy by the technique of hysteresis loop. Specifically, the area of the hysteresis loop increases with decreasing the up-time, the initial shear rate and increasing resting time, solid volume fraction and maximum shear rate, respectively. These results agree qualitatively with the experimental data. Furthermore, the origin of the hysteresis loop is attributed to the difference between the agglomeration rate and the deagglomeration rate.
