The results show that the primary grain average diameter of the strip increases with the increase of the roll speed. The primary grain average diameter decreases firstly and then increases with the increase of the vibration frequency, and the tensile strength and elongation of the strip increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of the vibration frequency. The primary grain average diameter increases with the increase of casting temperature, and the tensile strength and elongation of the strip decrease correspondingly. When the casting temperature is 670℃, the roll speed is 52 mm/s, and the vibration frequency is 60 Hz, Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy strip with good properties is produced. The mechanical properties of the present product are higher than those of Mg-3Sn-lMn alloy casting with the addition of 0.87% Ce (mass fraction).展开更多

The microstructure evolution and solidification behaviors during the process were investigated. The high cooling rate caused by the sloping plate and stirring action caused by the vibration and metal flow lead to a high nucleation rate as well as two primary grain growth patterns, direct globular growth as well as dendrite growth and subsequent breakage, which causes the formation of fine spherical or rosette primary grains. During the rolling process, the grains of the strip were elongated. The primary grain size of A2017 alloy strip increases with the increment of casting temperature. When the casting temperature was between 650 °C and 660 °C, A2017 alloy strip with good quality was produced by the proposed process. The microstructures of the strip are mainly composed of spherical or rosette grains.展开更多
Under H2 atmosphere, the green strips were prepared from Al-5.8Zn-1.63Mg-2.22Cu-0.12Zr(mass fraction, %) powders by the semi-solid rolling process with a relative density from 76.1% to 88.0%.

The role of temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. With increasing rolling temperature from 580 to 610 °C, the disappearance of primary powder boundary and isolated pores, inter-diffusion of species and the change of grain boundary were accelerated. Moreover, the mechanism of microstructure evolution changes from the densification dominant regime to the coarsening dominant regime; the amount of η(MgZn2) phase decreased and more Al2 Cu particles precipitated at grain boundaries. The optimum temperature for semi-solid rolling of Al-5.8Zn-1.63Mg-2.22Cu-0.12 Zr powders was determined. The liquid fraction in the range of 53% to 67% corresponds with a high density level of green strips. The present experimental analysis suggests that semi-solid powder rolling can be optimized to manufacture strips with high mechanical properties.展开更多
