Semisolid Forging of Al-10%Mg

Article Preview

Abstract:

Semisolid forging of Al-10%Mg near the solidus line temperature was conducted. Al-10%Mg could be forged at a 50% reduction without cracks occurring. The casting structure of the metal changed to a plastic forming structure. Tensile stress, proof stress and elongation were also improved by semisolid forging. In particular, the elongation was remarkably improved. Improvement of proof stress was less than that of tensile strength or elongation. Fe was also added to Al-10%Mg to make a model alloy representing recycled Al-10%Mg, and semisolid forging was conducted. Elongation decreased, but tensile stress and proof stress increased slightly (by approximately 10%) with the addition of Fe. Semisolid forging was found to be useful for reducing the undesirable effects of the addition of Fe content on various mechanical properties of Al-10%Mg.
