Abstract
We have developed a new semi-solid injection process which can obtain high material yield of about 90% for magnesium alloys. The morphology of solid particles in the semi-solid slurry has significant effects on rheological behavior. In this study, semi-solid injection moldings of AZ91D magnesium alloy were conducted at injection speeds 220mm/s, 300mm/s, 400mm/s and fraction solids fs = 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 to investigate the effects of shear stress on microstructure. With high injection speeds, α-phase solid particles became spherical and average particle size decreased. The average roundness of α-phase solid particles was correlated to shear stress calculated on the assumption that slurry corresponds to the steady state in the nozzle. The decrease of the average particle size suggests that solid particles were broken up and spheroidized by shear stress. Under all experimental conditions, the distribution of α-phase particles on the plane perpendicular to flow direction became denser at the center of the specimen than at the surface. On the other hand, the distribution of α-phase particles on the plane parallel to flow direction depended on injection speed. A high fraction solid zone was generated on the end of the specimen at the high injection speed.
