Preparation of an Mg–Gd–Zn alloy semisolid slurry by low frequency electro-magnetic stirring
چکیده انگلیسی


• Semisolid Mg–2.5Gd–1Zn alloy slurry containing fine α-Mg phase was prepared by LFEMS.
• The voltage, frequency and cooling rate were essential parameters in slurry making.
• The optimal parameters for Mg–Gd–Zn alloy slurry preparation by LFEMS were obtained.
• Coarse dendrites were converted to fine and globular particles under optimal parameters.

The effects of low frequency electromagnetic stirring (LFEMS) including applied voltage, rotational frequency and cooling rate on the microstructure of semisolid slurry of the Mg–2.5Gd–1Zn (at.%) alloy have been investigated. The applied voltage, rotational frequency and cooling rate all have a remarkable influence on the microstructures of the slurries. The LFEMS treatment leads to the morphology of primary Mg particles evolved from dendritic to non-dendritic. The increase of applied voltage leads to refined primary Mg particles, while the increase in rotational frequency makes the α-Mg particles initially refined and then coarsened. The decrease of cooling rate also leads to refinement of primary Mg particles. The optimal processing parameters for the fabrication of semisolid slurry are found to be: applied voltage 300–350 V, rotational frequency 15–20 Hz and cooling rate below 1.4 K/min. Under the optimized parameters, fine and spherical primary Mg particles were obtained, and the average particle size is refined from ~ 680 to ~ 150 μm.
