The effect of reheating process on the microstructure and mechanical property of A390 aluminum alloy and its evolution mechanism was studied. During reheating process, the microstructure of A390 ingots changed greatly, the microstructure ofα-Al particles changed from dendrite to spherical. As the reheating temperature increased primary Si and eutectic Si gradually grew up and spheroidized while the mechanical properties got the maximum value as the ingot reheating to 540°C. The relationship the between reheating power and microstructure was built. Improving reheating power can restrain the growth of grains, but if the reheating power was too high, the microstructure becomes non-uniform. It has been found that reheating of A390 aluminum alloy experiences two processes of grain combination and Ostwald growing.
