Effect of high density pulse electric current on solidification structure of low temperature melt of A356 alloy

The effect of high density pulse electric current(HDPEC)on the solidification structure of the low temperature melt(LTM)of commercial A356 alloy was investigated.In th experiments.the HDPEC was discharged in the LTM(953K,903K and 873K),By the control experiments,the results showed that the solidification structure of the LTM of A356 alloy is refined apparently when the HDPEC is discharged in low temperature melt.However,the holding time of melt treated has an adverse effect on the soliification structure.The longer the holding time of the melt treated with HDPEC,the coarser the microstructure.With the same discharge voltage.the lower the temperature of LTM,the more obscure the refinement of solidification structure.Finally,the mechanism of microstructure refining by HDPEC was analyzed.

Formation of grain refined and non-dendritic microstructure of an aluminum alloy under angular oscillation

A new technique to achieve sound semi-solid slurry by introducing angular oscillation during the earlier stage of solidification is reported.

Computer-aided cooling curve analysis of A356 aluminum alloy

Computer aided cooling curve analysis (CA-CCA) is very useful in the foundry industry for easy and fast evaluation of a variety of properties. Typical applications include the prediction of the temperatures and amounts of different phases appearing during solidification and monitoring of the quality of melt in terms of Si- modification, grain refinement, inoculation, and graphite spheoridization. The use of cooling curve analysis can be extended to many other areas of solidification also, assuming the calculated values are reasonably accurate. The calculation of zero curve, which is vital in cooling curve analysis, offers many problems however. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the problems of zero curve calculation and a new method is suggested to minimize calculation errors. An in-house developed computer program was used for a complete analysis of aluminum alloy A356 to determine the latent heat and solid fraction values.     

Grain refinement of Al-Cu alloy in low voltage pulsed magnetic field

The effect of a low voltage pulsed magnetic field (LVPMF) on grain refinement of Al-Cu alloy was investigated at different solidification stages. The cooling curve was also studied to investigate the grain refinement mechanism of LVPMF. The fine grains are obtained by applying the LVPMF during the nucleation stage. The LVPMF has no obvious influence on the solidification structure when it is applied during liquid phase stage or crystal growth stage. Application of LVPMF increases the nucleation temperature of the isomorphous transformation, and also decreases the recalescence magnitude of the alloy. The refining mechanism was proposed that the LVPMF provides extra energy for nucleation, which decreases the energy barrier and the critical radius for nucleation, leading to high nucleation rate and grain refinement.
