摘要
The microstructure and mechanical properties of rheocasting AZ91 magnesium alloy were investigated. The semisolid slurry of this alloy was prepared by ultrasonic vibration （USV） process and then shaped by high pressure diecasting （HPDC）. The results show that fine and spherical a-Mg particles were obtained by USV at the nucleation stage, which was mainly attributed to the cavitation and acoustic streaming induced by the USV. Extending USV treatment time increased the solid volume fraction and average particle size, the shape factors were nearly the same, about 0.7. Excellent semisolid slurry of AZ91 magnesium alloy could be obtained within 6 rain by USV near its liquidus temperature. The rheo-HPDC samples treated by USV for 6 min had the maximum ultimate tensile strength and elongation, which were 248 MPa and 7.4%, respectively. It was also found that the ductile fracture mode prevailed in the rheocasting AZ91 magnesium alloy.
研究AZ91镁合金流变铸造的微观组织和力学性能。采用超声振动方法和压铸成型制备镁合金半固态浆料。结果表明：由于超声振动的空化、声流效应，在成核阶段获得细小圆整的初生a-Mg颗粒；随着超声振动时问延长，初生a-Mg颗粒的固相体积分数和平均尺寸增大，但形状系数基本不变，为0．7；在液相线以下温度附近超声振动6min可获得最佳的AZ91镁合金半固态浆料，其压铸后的拉伸强度和伸长率分别是248MPa和7．4％。流变铸造AZ91镁合金的断裂机制是韧性断裂。
