Thixocasting of a near-liquidus cast Al-Mg based alloy

This letter discusses the use of a near liquidus cast Al-Mg based alloy for semi-solid thixocasting. The alloy that was examined was the UK designated alloy LM5. It seems apparent that liquidus casting is a viable alternative for producing thixocast billets from the results of this experiment. Thus,...

description This letter discusses the use of a near liquidus cast Al-Mg based alloy for semi-solid thixocasting. The alloy that was examined was the UK designated alloy LM5. It seems apparent that liquidus casting is a viable alternative for producing thixocast billets from the results of this experiment. Thus, as there is no stirring involved, this technology provides a very rady possibility to develop new thixotropic materials. Porosity, surface defects, and mechanical properties are comparable to parts made with electromagnetically stirred semi-solid aluminum. The produced parts also showed potential applications for anodizing, which is hardly achieved by using commercially available thixocast Al alloys, such as Al A356 and A357.
