Abstract:In order to obtain the fine, round and uniform distribution primary α phase in semisolid A356 alloy, the different amounts of mixed RE elements La and Ce were added into the alloy melt,and the melt was poured at 620 ℃ and slightly electromagnetically stirred for 15 s with an electromagnetic stirrer controlled by frequency conversion, then, it was isothermally held at 615 ℃ for 10 min. The morphology and size of the primary α phase were analyzed, and the distributions of La and Ce were researched by SEM and EDS. The refinement mechanism of mixed RE under electromagnetic stirring was discussed. The results indicate that RE elements La and Ce are easy to uniformly distribute around the primary α phase under electromagnetic stirring, and RE elements La and Ce can effectively refine the primary α phase under the condition of short and weak electromagnetic stirring. The refining mechanism of RE on the primary α phase in semisolid A356 alloy can be concerned with the eutectic reaction induced by RE in the alloy.
