To research the effect of electromagnetic stirring process parameters on the parts’ quality in semi-solid forming of aluminum alloy, the material of ZL017 was heated and melted, and electromagnetic stirred under different frequency and power, then material microstructure gained by different process parameters was observed. The elementary alteration rule of fluid field was analyzed with the alteration of stirring frequency, current density, stirring time,stirring temperature and fluid viscosity. Suitable process parameters for electromagnetic stirring of ZLl07 was concluded.

The effects of annulus gap width, stirring power and stirring frequency on the microstructure of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy slurry have been investigated by the annulus electromagnetic stirring (AEMS) technology The results show that narrow annulus gap , strong stirring power and high stirring frequency are advantageous to obtain the small spherical primarymicrostructure, the smaller the annulus gap width is, the bigger the stirring power is, and the higher the stirring frequency is, the more uniform, the smaller and the more spherical the microstructure is. So the high stirring frequency, narrow annulus gap, strong stirring power are beneficial to obtain the fine and spherical semisolid microstructure in AEMS. Also the results indicate that the primary particles are globular, small and distribute homogeneously in the AEMS.

This paper focuses on fabricated slurry by electromagnetic stirring (EMS) with A6061 and A7075 wrought aluminum alloys. For this EMS process, it is important to find the optimal electromagnetic stirring conditions such as pouring temperature, stirring current and stirring time. After electromagnetic stirring according to each condition, the billets fabricated by EMS were investigated, as was the microstructure and cooling temperature of molten alloy which was directly cooled from liquid state to the semi-solid state during EMS. In use of cooling time and temperature data, it is possible to determine the forming time and stirring time required, respectively.

In order to change the dendritic grain structure of Al-Cu alloy to equaxed grain, the effects of electromagnetic stirring on the microstructure of an Al-Cu alloy were investigated. The results show that the positive and negative stirring has the best stirring effects at the same condition. It is apparent that the morphology of α-Al is closely related with the comprehensive interactions between stirring strength and stirring time.

The semi-solid slurry of AZ31 magnesium alloy was manufactured by gas bubbles stirring. The effects of stirring temperature and stirring time on the microstructure of semi-solid slurry were researched. The results indicate that it is feasible to manufacture the slurry with particle-like primary phases. When the stirring temperature is higher, the morphology of the primary a-Mg presents rosette-like morphology and the size of grain is coarse, and the morphology mainly was α- Mg dendrite at lower stirring temperature. Long stirring time could reduce dendrites and liquid phase, and made the non-dendritic grains well spheroidized. But the effects of longer stirring on shape and size of primary particles are not significant. The optimal process parameters for ideal semi-solid slurry manufactured were stired 3min at 645°C.
