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.

Light-weight and high-strength aluminum alloy drill pipes are potential and promising to replace traditional steel drill pipes. In this study, the grain size and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy drilling pipe materials reinforced by in-situ TiB2 particles were studied. The results showed when reinforced by in-situ TiB2 particles the grain size of aluminum alloy materials was refined from 155 m to 57 m and ultimate tensile strength was increased from 590 MPa to 720 MPa. Besides, the results also indicated that the friction coefficient was reduced from 0.99 to 0.50 and thus the abrasion resistance of 7075 aluminum alloy was enhanced by 34 %. This study provided theoretical basis for the application of light-weight and high-strength aluminum alloy drill pipes in directional drilling and ultra-deep wells.

In this paper, with a newly self-developed rotating barrel rheomoulding machine(RBRM), microstructures and mechanical properties of rheo-die casting A356 alloy were studied. In order to clearly show the characteristic of rheo-die casting, liquid die casting and semi-solid casting were done too. The experimental results showed that microstructures of rheo-die casting were composed of solid grains, which were finer and rounder, and had fewer pores. In the three technologies, integrated mechanical properties of semi-solid rheo-die casting were the best.

The deformation behavior of semi-solid aluminum alloy is strongly dependent on the microstructure. This paper illustrates several experimental research works concerning thixoextrusion of 7075 aluminum alloy which was carried out at “Arts et Métiers ParisTech” of Metz. Inductive re-heating of the aluminum billet is the method used in order to obtain the target liquid fraction for thixoextrusion. To minimize the heat losses, a sample obtained from a direct extruded bar is inserted in a die for reheating in semisolid state and thixoextrusion. During the experimental re-heating process, the temperature was directly controlled by using thermocouples for temperature measurements in the sample and also in the die. The influence of different working ram speeds and reheating temperature on the microstructure evolution was studied by optical microscopy. The experimental results on extrusion load and microstructure evolution of the component are reported.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy flange semi-solid thixoforging by changing cavity was investigated. Theoretical calculation and forming test were adopted to study the preparation of flange. It is concluded that the influence factors of forming limit of flanges are radical load P, friction τ and thickness t by theoretical calculation. The results show that it is uniform in the process of forming. Microstructure and mechanical properties of flange have been improved significantly with the increase of the radical load. Way of variable cavity realized the real plastic deformation, which results in high mechanical properties of flange. The flange could obtain fine microstructure with grain sizes of 20~30μm, tensile strength of 433MPa and elongation of 10.1%, with changing amount of 30MPa. The results indicate that the microstructure and mechanical properties could achieve forging requirement and be controlled using changing cavity.

This study reports the microstructural changes and mechanical properties of high-strength aluminum alloy chips prepared in the semi-solid state at different temperatures, pressures, and holding times. In semi-solid processes, these processing parameters must be optimized because they affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the chips. In microstructural analysis, these parameters clearly influenced the spheroidization of the aluminum matrix. The aluminum matrix was uniformly spheroidized after semi-solid processing, and the densities of the final samples increased with the holding time. After 30 min holding time at a given temperature, the density approached the theoretical density, but the compressive strength of the samples seriously deteriorated. Meanwhile, fracture surface investigation revealed a deformed Mg2Si phase, which is formed through a eutectic reaction. The strength of this phase significantly decreased after increasing the holding time of the semi-solid processing from 10 to 30 min. Therefore, deformation of the Mg2Si phase caused by diffusion of aluminum into this phase can be a key factor for the decrease in the mechanical properties of samples fabricated with 30 min holding time.
