Gao Junzhen, Kang Yonglin, Zhou Bing, et al. Preparation of A356 Aluminum Alloy Semi-solid Slurry by Forced Convection Method[J]. Special Casting & Nonferrous Alloys, 2013,33(10):931-934.
We have developed a forced convection rheoforming machine(FCR)
which mainly is composed of the shearing system and the electricity and temperature control system.Effects of pouring temperatures on microstructure of A356aluminum alloy semi-solid slurry prepared by FCR machine were investigated.The results show that the apparatus is capable of producing semi-solid microstructure with fine
homogeneous and spherical grains with rotating velocity of 200r/min for 30sat 620℃.And the primaryα-Al particles become finer
more homogeneous and rounder with the decrease of pouring temperature.
