An Innovative Two-Stage Reheating Process for Wrought Aluminum Alloy During Thixoforming
Abstract
An innovative two-stage reheating process has been developed to improve the thixotropic behavior of semi-solid wrought aluminum alloy during thixoforming. The variation of the microstructural evolution mechanisms with temperature and holding time during a traditional process and two-stage reheating process are presented in this paper. A preferred semi-solid microstructure with spherical-like grains surrounded by a uniform liquid film was …
