Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for in-situ preparation and molding of aluminum / magnesium alloy semi-solid slurry. The device includes a squeeze casting machine and an in-situ heating system with semi-solid slurry arranged in the squeeze casting machine The mold includes an upper mold, a lower mold, a side mold and a mold cavity formed by the upper mold, the center of the upper mold is provided with a semi-solid blank in-situ heating cavity connected to the mold cavity, and the semi-solid blank / The outside of the slurry in-situ heating chamber is equipped with an in-situ heating system. The forming method includes: A. loading of semi-solid billet; B. preparation of semi-solid slurry; C. extrusion casting of semi-solid slurry; D. opening mold and taking out casting. The method can effectively reduce the heat loss in the transfer process of the semi-solid slurry, improve the formability and process stability of the semi-solid slurry, shorten the time required for the preparation of the semi-solid slurry by electromagnetic induction heating, and significantly reduce the equipment of the squeeze casting machine. Cost, and at the same time more conducive to the realization of mechanization and safe production.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal semi-solid processing, and in particular relates to an aluminum / magnesium alloy semi-solid slurry in-situ heating preparation and extrusion casting molding method and equipment. Background technique

[0002] Metal semi-solid processing technology is a new processing and forming method between traditional solid processing technology (such as extrusion, forging, rolling) and liquid forming (such as casting). Since semi-solid metal contains liquid metal and solid metal at the same time, compared with solid-state processing, semi-solid processing has less forming resistance and can form more complex shapes; compared with liquid forming, the alloy temperature is lower during semi-solid processing. Oxidation resistance Significantly increased, the content of shrinkage defects is significantly reduced, and the semi-solid metal has a high viscosity and is not easy to be involved in gas during molding; the t...
