Preparation of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy semisolid slurry through a water-cooled serpentine pouring channel

The semisolid slurry of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was prepared through a self-designed water-cooled copper serpentine pouring channel(WSPC) machine. Influences of pouring temperature, the number of turns and the cooling water flow rate on the microstructure of the semisolid Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy slurry were investigated. The results show that the semisolid Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy slurry with satisfactory quality can be generated by the WSPC when the pouring temperature is in the range between 680 ℃ and 700 ℃. At a given pouring temperature, the average grain size of primary α-Al decreases and the shape factor increases with the increase of the number of turns. When the cooling water flow rate is 450 L·h~(-1), the obtained semisolid slurry is optimal. During the preparation of the semisolid Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy slurry with low superheat pouring, the alloy melt has mixed inhibition and convection flow characteristics by "self-stirring". When the alloy melt flows through the serpentine channel, the chilling effect of the inner wall of the channel, the convection and mixed inhibition of the alloy melt greatly promote the heterogeneous nucleation and grain segregation. This effect destroys the dendrite growth mode under traditional solidification conditions, and the primary nuclei gradually evolve into spherical or nearspherical grains.

Influence of rheo-diecasting processing parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al–30%Si alloy

The effects of pouring temperature, vibration frequency, and the number of curves in a serpentine channel, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al–30%Si alloy processed by rheo-diecasting (RDC) were investigated. The semisolid Al–30%Si alloy slurry was prepared by vibration serpentine channel pouring (VSCP) process in the RDC process. The results show that the pouring temperature, the vibration frequency, and the number of the curves strongly affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al–30%Si alloy. Under experimental conditions of a pouring temperature of 850 °C, a twelve-curve copper channel and a vibration frequency of 80 Hz, the primary Si grains are refined into fine compact grains with average grain size of about 24.6 μm in the RDC samples assisted with VSCP. Moreover, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation and hardness of the RDC sample are 296 MPa, 0.87% and HB 155, respectively. It is concluded that the VSCP process can effectively refine the primary Si grains. The refinement of primary Si grains is the major cause for the improvement of the mechanical properties of the RDC sample.     

Preparation of Semi-Solid AlSi7Mg Alloy Slurry

The semi-solid AlSi7Mg alloy slurry of large size was prepared by the low superheat pouring and weak electromagnetic stirring in this paper. The effects of pouring temperature and stirring power on the microstructure of the AlSi7Mg alloy slurry were studied. The results show that the semi-solid AlSi7Mg alloy slurry of 127mm in diameter can be prepared by the low superheat pouring and weak electromagnetic stirring technology and this new technology can save energy and make the pouring process convenient. When the liquid AlSi7Mg alloy is poured at 650 or 630, the solidified microstructure of the AlSi7Mg alloy slurry prepared by the weak electromagnetic stirring is remarkably improved compared with that of the slurry without stirring, the primary -Al grains appear rosette-like or spherical. When the pouring temperature is decreased, the shape of the primary -Al grains is gradually changed from dendritic-like grains to spherical grains. When the pouring temperature is appropriately increased, namely raised to a certain superheat, the pouring process becomes easier and an ideal spherical microstructure of the AlSi7Mg alloy slurry prepared by the weak electromagnetic stirring can also be obtained, in this experiment, when the stirring power is 0.36kW, the optimized pouring temperature parameter is 630.When the AlSi7Mg alloy slurry is prepared by the low superheat pouring and weak electromagnetic stirring, when the pouring temperature is 630,increasing the stirring power appropriately could gain better spherical primary -Al grains,but if the stirring power is increased to a certain value, the shape of the primary 冄-Al grains is not further improved, in this experiment, the optimized stirring power parameter is 0.36kW.     

Preparation of semi-solid AlSi7Mg alloy slurry with big capability

Rheo-squeeze casting of semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy slurry

The effect of pouring temperature, electromagnetic stirring power and holding process on semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy slurry was investigated, then the slurry was squeeze-cast. The results show that when the pouring temperatures are properly above the liquidus line, for example 630-650 °C, the slurry with spherical primary α(Al) grains can be prepared under the stirring power of 1.27 kW. The slurry is then homogeneously held for a short time, and the primary α(Al) grains are further ripened and distributed evenly in the slurry. The results of the rheo-squeezed casting experiments show that the injection specific pressure has a great effect on the filling ability of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy slurry, and the higher the injection specific pressure is, the better the ability for the slurry to fill the mould cavity is. When the injection specific pressure is equal to or above 34 MPa, the whole and compact rheo-squeezed castings can be obtained. The microstructure of the castings indicates that the shape, size and numbers of the primary α(Al) grains in different parts of the castings are highly consistent. After being held at 535 °C for 5 h and then aged at 155 °C for 12 h, the ultimate strength of the rheo-squeezed castings can reach 300-320 MPa, the yield strength 230-255 MPa, and the elongation 11%-15%.     

半固态7075铝合金浆料温度均匀化处理过程中的组织演化规律

采用ICSPC法制备半固态7075铝合金浆料,再结合温度均匀化处理,使浆料组织相对均匀并获得可控的固相率,以适合后续的流变压铸。主要研究温度均匀化处理过程中冷却速率对初生α（Al）组织演化规律的影响。结果表明,随着冷却速率的降低,半固态浆料中的初生α（Al）趋向于近球状方式生长,其组织的均匀性也相对提高。这可能是由于冷却速度的降低有利于半固态浆料剩余液相中各部分温度及成分的一致性,而这种一致性则是形成均匀球状晶的关键。然而,过低的冷却速度将会显著延长晶粒的生长时间,导致晶粒过分粗大和更多的晶粒合并,因而出现部分异常长大的晶粒,并导致形状因子的轻微下降。
