Semi-Solid Forging of Mg Alloy AZX1311 and Mechanical Properties

Abstract:

This paper describes basic property in semi-solid forging method of magnesium alloy AZX1311. In the semi-solid forging process, an arbitrary fraction of solid is selected at a temperature between the liquidus and the solidus line and rapidly cooled and coagulated simultaneously with deformation of the material in a die to obtain a product. In addition, the magnesium alloy AZX1311 has excellent castability and mechanical properties. In recent years, the use of magnesium alloys for home electric appliances and automotive parts has been increasing because weight reduction can be achieved. These main manufacturing methods are casting and forging. However, these manufacturing methods have disadvantages such as large forming load and poor dimensional accuracy. Therefore, the semi-solidification forging method can improve these disadvantages. In this study, a forged semi-solid material and air cooled semi-solid material were produced using a servo press machine. Focused on impurities, porosity and microstructure. A forged semi-solid material could be produced. A semi-solid structure could be observed.
