An efficient and low-cost aluminum alloy uniform solidification control technology, namely, air-cooled stirring rod (ACSR) process, has been developed for preparing large volume semisolid slurry. The semisolid slurry preparation process is connected with the die-casting machine to form multiple integrated intelligent rheological die-casting production lines for the efficient preparation of rheological die-casting of large-scale thin-walled aluminum alloys. At present, the ACSR process can produce 40 kg of large-volume semisolid slurry with a solid phase ratio of 25% to 35% within 30 s. This rheological die-casting process has been industrialized for the preparation of high-quality aluminum alloy large-scale thin-walled parts, such as new energy vehicles and 5G communications. Typical products produced by this process include heat dissipation housings for 5G communications, filter housings, antenna chassis and three-electric structural shell, end cover, and ABS system valve body for new energy vehicles. Compared with traditional die castings, aluminum alloy castings prepared by the new process not only have fine and spherical microstructures, good surface quality, and fewer internal pores but also enjoys more excellent mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.

The structure and processing of double chamber throttle valve body castings were analyzed. Die-casting molding process scheme was established. The design of mold includes three core-drawing mechanisms. Considering the large parts surface area and the relatively small wall thickness and the requirement of parting, the gate was arranged on the casting bottom surface. For economy and die easy maintenance considerations, die-casting machine, mold, and mold standard parts should be standard parts. The designs of mold gating system and non-standard pieces were completed. Proved by actual production, the mold operated smoothly, without clamping stagnation, and the production of die castings meet delivery requirements.

Composite sandwich structures are extensively used in the aerospace, wind power, sports equipment, shipbuilding, automotive and train locomotive industries in order to improve structure rigidity and reduce weight. The molding process of sandwich structure using glass cloth and fibre materials as panels has been reported in many literatures. However, few researches are found relative to the molding process of large scale sandwich structure with the characteristics of thin-walled aluminum alloy panels and variable thickness of Polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam cores. This paper describes a preformed molding process that consists of thermoforming foam core blocks, assembling blocks into a whole sandwich core, CNC machining the sandwich core according to surface models of the thin-walled aluminum alloy panels, and finally, bonding and curing panels and sandwich cores.

A simplified and efficient process, namely air-cooled stirring rod (ACSR), was proposed to prepare semisolid slurry of aluminum alloys. An advanced integrated rheological high pressure die-casting (Rheo-HPDC) technology was established by combining the ACSR equipment with HPDC machines to produce high quality aluminum alloy products. Microstructures, surface qualities, mechanical properties, corrosion resistances and thermal conductivities of the Al-8Si alloy parts prepared by Rheo-HPDC were investigated and compared to those prepared by traditional HPDC. The results indicated that the Rheo-HPDC process can prepare aluminum alloy parts in which the primary particles are fine and spherical, and there is few shrinkage porosity. Multifarious high quality large thin-walled aluminum alloy parts, such as filter shells, cooling shells, antenna crates and mounting brackets for communication, were produced by the process. Rheo-HPDC alloys showed improved surface quality to those formed by traditional HPDC, and the surface roughness is small and avoid employing CNC to surface finish. Also, compared with HPDC alloys, the alloys prepared by Rheo-HPDC have an increased mechanical properties and thermal conductivity due to high density and refined microstructure. Furthermore, Rheo-HPDC aluminum alloys indicated a remarkable improvement in corrosion resistance as shown by the results of electrochemical and weight loss experiments.

High-strength aluminum alloy with large-scale and thin-walled complex castings have broad application prospects in aerospace, weapons, electronics, defense and military industries. However, due to the uneven thickness of the plate, the casting defects are inevitable by the ordinary casting method, and it is impossible to accurately control the shape and performance of the casting in the casting process. Previous studies have found that the semi-solid rheological extrusion casting technology with short process and near-end type can help solve this technical problem. Therefore, this paper studies the semi-solid rheological extrusion casting process of thin-walled complex casting of ZL114A aluminum alloy. The combination of numerical simulation and experimental research is used to simulate and optimize the filling and solidification process of thin-walled specimens. Based on this, a semi-solid rheological extrusion casting test was conducted. The result showed that, (1) The optimized model can well reflect the filling and solidification process under different rheological extrusion casting parameters, and obtain defect-free castings through process optimization. (2) The thin-walled parts of the thin plate casting produced by semi-solid rheology extrusion have excellent mechanical property and ductility.
