This invention relates to the field of
magnesium alloy smelting technology, and in particular to a
smelting process and apparatus for a semi-
solid non-dendritic
slurry of
rare earth AS-based
magnesium alloy. Using AS
magnesium alloy as the base material and a Ce-La-Nd ternary
rare earth mixture as the
rare earth modifier, the process involves vacuum melting,
electromagnetic stirring, and stepped cooling to obtain an
ingot. A three-dimensional curve is plotted based on the JMAK equation to determine the critical temperature. Using a rheological
casting apparatus, through internal cooling gradient, stirring-assisted
slurry preparation, and ultrasonic-assisted isothermal treatment, combined with three-level quality judgment and defect closed-loop adjustment, a
slurry with controllable
liquid phase content, fine and rounded grains, and uniform rare earth distribution is prepared. The process exhibits high
repeatability and meets the requirements of high-end semi-
solid forming.
