Effect of DC Casting Processes on Microstructure of AlCu4.5Mn0.8 Alloy

Abstract:

The semi-solid billets of AlCu4.5Mn0.8 alloy were cast respectively by low frequency electromagnetic, low-superheated, and conventional direct chill casting. The effect of casting processes on microstructures was investigated. The results show that due to the effect of the low frequency electromagnetic field, the coarse dentritic microstructure is gradually broken up and turned into the homogeneous, fine rosette-shaped non-dentritic microstructures with the increase of electromagnetic frequency from 10 Hz to 30 Hz. When electromagnetic frequency is 30 Hz, the homogeneous, fine non-dentritic microstructure what is suitable for semi-solid reheating and thixo-forming could be obtained successfully.
