Microstructure evolution of semi-solid 2024 alloy during two-step reheating process

A two-step reheating process was proposed and applied to perform reheating experiments on the semi-solid 2024 alloy billet. In this process, the semi-solid billet was firstly heated over liquidus temperature and then isothermally held at solid-liquid zone temperature. Microstructure evolution of the semi-solid billet during two-step reheating was studied by optical microscope and compared with that during isothermal reheating. The results show that the remelting rate of the semi-solid billet during two-step reheating is faster than that during isothermal reheating. Under the same reheating time, the grains of the semi-solid billet reheated by two-step reheating process are finer and rounder than those by isothermal reheating process. The present experimental results indicate that accelerating the formation of liquid phase during the two-step reheating process can restrain the coalescence of grains to a certain extent, and thus refine the grain size and promote the grain spheroidization.

The effect of globular microstructure size on the mechanical properties in reheating process of aluminum alloys

One of the important steps in semi-solid forming is the process of reheating raw materials to the semi-solid state. This process is not only necessary to achieve the required semi-solid state of the billet, but also to control the microstructure of the billet. In the reheating process, the globule size is determined by the holding time of the final reheating step. Therefore, some experiments to investigate the relationship between the mechanical properties and the holding time in the last heating step were performed. The alloys used in this experiment were 357, 319, and A390 alloys. The experiments of reheating were performed using an induction heating system with a capacity of 50 kW. This article shows the evolution of the microstructure according to the holding time of the last reheating stage. Furthermore, to evaluate the effect of globule size as determined by holding time of the final reheating step, uniaxial tension tests were performed. The stress-strain curves were plotted according to the holding time, and a relationship between the microstructure and the flow stress of semi-solid material was formulated.     

Effect of original microstructures on microstructural evolution of A2017 semi-solid alloy billets during reheating

The microstructural evolution of the A2017 semi-solid alloy billets provided with rheocasting and extruding/extending forming by shearing-cooling-rolling(SCR) technology during reheating in semi-solid state was investigated. The microstructural differences and their generation causes for both billets were also analyzed. The results show that during reheating, the grains of rheocasting billets grow up and spheroidize gradually with the prolongation of isothermal holding time, the eutectic liquid phase at low melting point forms mainly among the grains. However, the grains of the extruding/extending forming billets grow up abnormally through grain coalescence in the initial stage of the reheating, the entrapment of large amount of liquid within grains occurs, and the grain sizes in the reheating billets are coarse and inhomogeneous. Compared with extruding/extending forming billets, rheocasting billets have smaller and uniform grains in reheating microstructure and can rapidly form liquid phase among grains. Therefore, rheocasting billets are more suitable for the semi-solid forming than the extruding/extending forming billets.     

Microstructure evolution of spray-formed hypereutectic Al-Si alloys in semisolid reheating process

The Al-27%Si alloy was prepared by the spray forming process, and its microstructure evolution during the semisolid reheating process was investigated. The results show that, the primary Si phase coarsens during the reheating process and the coarsening rate increases with the increase of reheating temperature. The eutectic phase is produced in the molten region when quenched in the cold water. The microstructure evolution in the semisolid state can be divided into three stages. The remarkable characteristic of the first stage is only a solid-state phase transformation process. However, the region around the α(Al) matrix gradually melts in the second stage. The primary Si in the liquid phase coarsens obviously, and the eutectic phase is produced in the molten region when the specimens are quenched in cold water. In the last stage, the same thing as that in the second stage happens except that all the α(Al) matrixes are melted.
