Mg-Zn-Y alloys containing a thermally stable icosahedral quasicrystal phase (I-phase) will have wide application future on condition that primary α-Mg dendrite and the I-phase can be refined during the casting process. In this research, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the rheo-squeeze casting (RSC) Mg-6Zn-1.4Y alloys have been investigated. The Mg alloy melt was exposed to ultrasonic vibration (USV) with different acoustic power densities from 0 W/mL to 9 W/mL, and then the slurry was formed by squeeze casting. The results show that good semi-solid slurry with fine and spherical α-Mg particles could be obtained with the acoustic power density of 6 W/mL, and the average grain size and shape factor of primary α-Mg were 32 μm and 0.76, respectively. Meanwhile the coarse eutectic I-phase (Mg3Zn6Y) was refined obviously and dispersed uniformly. Compared with the samples without USV, the tensile strength and elongation of the RSC casting samples with 6 W/mL acoustic power density were elevated by 10.6% and 55.5%, respectively.

Abstracts: This paper presents an overview of measured mechanical properties of thixoformed aluminium 7075 feedstock produced by the direct thermal method (DTM). The DTM feedstock billets were processed with a pouring temperature of 685 °C and holding periods of 20 s, 40 s and 60 s before being quenched and subsequently thixoformed. A conventionally cast feedstock billet was produced with a pouring temperature of 685 °C and was allowed to solidify without quenching. The feedstock billets were later formed by an injection test unit in the semi-solid state. Tensile testing was then conducted on the thixoformed feedstock billets. Tensile properties for 7075 DTM thixoformed feedstock billets were found significantly influenced by the thixoformed component density. Samples with longer holding times were found to have higher density and higher tensile strength.

Secondary Solidification

Rheo-die casting (RDC) based on LSPSF (low superheat pouring with a shear field) rheocasting process has been exploited. In case of secondary die casting aluminum alloy YL112, LSPSF allowed for preparation of sound semi-solid slurry in 15-20s that fully meet the production rate of HPDC, the primary α-Al exhibiting a mean equivalent diameter of 70 μm and shape factor of 0.93, without any entrapped eutectic. Compared to conventional HPDC, RDC improves microstructures in castings. Secondary solidification of semi-solid slurry takes place uniformly throughout the entire cavity, producing an extremely fine and uniform microstructure. The experimental results show the RDC 380 alloy has much improved integrity and mechanical properties, particularly elongation, and heat treatment can be used to enhance the mechanical properties.
