摘要
The primary phase evolution of ADC12 aluminum alloy rheo-processed by mechanical rotational barrel system was studied by differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）, optical microscopy（OM） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）. The semisolid slurry analyses show that the solid fraction of ADC12 aluminum alloy increases from 0.38 to 0.43 while the roundness decreases from 0.45 to 0.38 with increasing the rotational speed from 30 to 120 r/min. When the pouring temperature decreases from 620 to 580 °C, the primary α（Al） morphology changes from spheroidal to rosette-like. Besides, the average particle size of primary phase and solid fraction increase with the decrease of pouring temperature. By rheo-diecasting process, the components with fine, spherical and uniformly distributed primary α（Al） particles were obtained, and the best microstructure was contained at the pouring temperature ranging from 595 to 605 °C. The rheo-processing feasibility of ADC12 aluminum alloy can be explained by the grains controlled growth theory, and the semisolid slurry obeys the Mullins-Sekerka criterion when solidifying in the high pressure die casting machine.
采用差式扫描热量法、光学显微镜和扫描电镜研究机械滚筒流变处理下ADC12铝合金的初生相演变。半固态浆料分析表明:合金的固相率随着滚筒转速的提高从0.38增加到0.43,但圆整度从0.45降低到0.38。随着浇注温度从620°C降到580°C,合金固相率和初生相平均颗粒尺寸随着浇注温度的下降而增加,初生相形貌由近球形转变为玫瑰形。在流变压铸条件下,合金中初生相α(Al)颗粒形貌圆整、颗粒细小并分布均匀。在595和605°C之间进行流变压铸可以获得最佳的显微组织。晶粒控制生长理论是ADC12铝合金实现流变处理的理论依据,半固态浆料在压铸成型中服从Mullins-Sekerka准则。
