Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for preparing semi-solid metal slurry / blank with the current. The follow-up process of the method comprises the following steps: (1) refining an alloy to lead in a heat preserving furnace, controlling the temperature of the metal slurry / blank to 0-10 DEG C above the liquidus temperature TL; (2) performing current treatment on the metal slurry / blank for 0-30 minuntes, wherein the temperature of the heat preserving furnace is controlled to (TL-5)-(TL+5) DEG C; (3) cooling the treated metal slurry / blank to a temperature ranging from TSS (semi-solid forming temperature)-5 DEG C to TSS+5 DEG C, keeping the temperature of the metal slurry / blank for 0-30 minuntes, and injecting the metal slurry / blank in a die cavity to form. The equipment comprises a mother liquor crucible, a chute, the heat preserving furnace, a furnace cover, a thermocouple, a heat preserving crucible, a current treatment device, a power supply, a bin, a punch and the die cavity. The method integrates the controlled pouring method with the current solidification technology, has the advantages of simple process, fine product structure and high spheroidization rate, and can be used to prepare the semi-solid slurry / blanks of different alloys of magnesium, aluminum, tin, copper and the like and be particularly suitable for the preparation of the semi-solid magnesium alloy slurry / blank.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal preparation device and method, in particular to a method and device for preparing semi-solid metal slurry / blank by electric current suitable for the semi-solid forming process of metal materials, especially suitable for the semi-solid forming process of magnesium alloys, and belongs to metal materials and metallurgical technology. Background technique [0002] Semi-solid metal forming has many unique advantages, such as near (net) final forming, high product quality and high-performance process energy saving, etc., and is known as one of the most promising metal material processing technologies in the 21st century. According to different process methods, semi-solid forming technology can be divided into two categories: rheological forming and thixoforming. The rheological forming process is short and can significantly increase the production capacity of enterprises, so it has been widely used in industrial production. ...
