Semi Solid

Semi-solid slurry has significantly higher viscosity than liquid metal. This character of fluidity makes product design and die design, such as gating system, overflow and venting system, be different between these two die casting processes. In the present paper, taking a clamp product as an example, analyses the product optimization and die design by comparing the experimental and computational numerical simulation results. For the clamp, product structure is designed to be suitable for characters of SSM die casting process. The gating system is designed to be uniform variation of thickness, making the cross-sectional area uniformly reduce from the biscuit to the gate. This design ensures semi-solid metal slurry to fill die cavity from thick wall to thin wall. Gate position is designed at the thickest location, the gate shape of semi-solid die casting is set to be much bigger than traditional liquid casting. A good filling behaviour can be achieved by aforementioned all these design principles and it will be helpful to the intensification of pressure feeding after filling.

According to semi-solid slurry rheological behavior, an apparent viscosity model of A356 alloy developed based on the Carreau model was established to simulate filling process of rheo-diecasting about automobile shock absorber parts and to compare with conventional liquid filling process. Numerical simulation results showed that the filling process of rheo-diecasting was smooth but difficult to splash, which reduced the tendency of the alloy oxidation and inclusion. Meanwhile, a certain percentage of the primary solid particles precipitated before filling and solidification shrinkage of semi-solid slurry were small. This benefited to reduce or eliminate shrinkage defects of the castings. Compared with conventional liquid die casting process, rheo-diecasting process had unique advantages in reducing the internal defects and improving mechanical properties of castings.

Strength And Ductility

In this study, semi-solid Al-Mg-Si alloy (AC4C) was produced by using the Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) die casting process. The tensile strength and ductility of the semi-solid die cast Al alloy (GISS-DC) after T6 heat treatment were investigated and compared with those of the conventional liquid die casting (CLDC). The microstructures of GISS-DC and CLDC observed by an optical microscopy were presented. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (0.2% YS) of GISS-DC are compatible with those of the CLDC. However, the GISS-DC has better ductility than the CLDC, this may be due to the smaller and more globular primary α-Al phase and rounder shaped-Si particle microstructures presented in the GISS-DC. Common shrinkage pores and defects were also observed by SEM from the fracture surfaces of both alloys.

In order to improve the comprehensive properties of casting aluminum, and to fulfill the requirements of forming thin wall fins for communication products, mechanical stirring was employed to prepare the semi-solid aluminum alloy AlSi8. communication products were produced by the semi-solid die casting process. The microstructure and mechanical and thermal properties were studied. The test results show that the microstructure of semi-solid die-casting samples changes from dendrite to globular microstructure, and the average tensile strength, elongation and thermal conductivity are 220MPa, 7% and 170 W/(m*K), respectively, which is significantly higher than that of the common die-casting samples. It was proved that the semi-solid die casting technology can be used in actual production and improve the products quality.

High Frequency Induction

The parts manufactured by die casting process usually contain liquid segregation and porosities. To solve these problems, the semi-solid forming process has been applied. The process enables material in the semi-solid state to be completely filled, and parts with the complicated shape to be fabricated by applying relatively low pressure. This process is necessary in order to control the microstructure of the billet as well as to achieve the desired semi-solid billet state. In this study, a horizontal high-frequency induction heating device which can be fabricated by semi-solid forming irrespective of a billet's size was developed. A globular structure of the reheated billet and a billet's temperature distribution during the reheating process for A356 were investigated.
