The effects of the pouring temperature （superheat） on the morphology and size distribution of primary phases （primary e-AI and Mg2Si）, binary （a-AI ＋ Mg2Si） eutectic cell and eutectic Mg2Si were investigated. The experimental results show that low pouring temperature （superheat） not only refines the grain structure of the primary e-AI and binary （e-AI ＋ Mg2Si） eutectic cell in three composites and promotes the formation of more non- dendritic structural semi-solid metal （SSM） slurry of these phases; but also refines the primary and eutectic Mg2Si phases, which seems to be attributed to the creation of an ideal condition for the nucleation and the acquisition of a high survival of nuclei caused by the LSP process.展开更多
