Al-5Mg-2Si-Mn铝合金压铸坯锭半固态等温组织演变

Semi-solid isothermal heat treatment microstructural evolution of die cast Al-5Mg-2Si-Mn alloy with different injecting pressures was studied. The average α-Al grain size of as-cast die casting experimental alloys was smaller than that of gravity casting, and it decreased while microstructure distortion energy increased with the increase of the injecting pressure. It was found that semi-solid microstructural evolution process of die-cast alloy was similar to, but faster than that of gravity casting. The results from regression analysis show that the relationship between the average α-Al grain diameter and the isothermal holding time fits the formula r³=kt+r₀ ³, and the coarsening rate (K) is decreased with the increase of the injecting pressure. For the fixed injecting pressure, the average α-Al grain size of the experimental alloy increased while the K decreased with the increase of the isothermal holding temperature. For the fixed isothermal holding time, the solid fraction and α-Al grain coarsening rate of die-casting alloy were lower than those of gravity. The appropriate semi-solid isothermal heat treatment parameters of the die casting experimental alloy were determined to be 620℃ for 20 min.
