Microstructural Characterization of Rheology Material Fabricated by Rotational Barrel Type

Article Preview

Abstract:

The new rheology fabrication process has been developed to rheo die casting and rheo forming process. The barrel type equipment, which could continuously fabricate the rheology material, was specially designed to have a function to control cooling rate, shear rate and temperature. During the continuous rotation of barrel with a constant temperature, the shear rate is controlled with the rotation speed. The barrel surface has both the induction heating system and the cooling system to control the temperature of molten metal. By using this system, the effect of the rotation speed and the rotation time on the microstructure was widely examined. The possibility for the rheoforming process was investigated with microstructural characteristic.
