The results show that effective strain in cold deformation before reheating has a great influence on microstructural evolution. Grain size decreases and its shape also approaches to sphericity with increasing effective strain. The amount of liquid phase increases at grain boundaries and grain shape becomes smooth with increasing heating temperature. The main mechanism of grain coarsening is coalescence when eutectic liquid is rare and not totally distributed at all boundaries. Otherwise the main mechanism of grain coarsening is Ostwald ripening and the connection coarsening is more difficult to perform when the regions are nearly full of eutectic liquid.展开更多

Under coequal heat-treat condition, the impact of the hot upsetting pre- deformation on semi-solid microstructure in SIMA process was compared with that of the cold compressive predeformation. The results indicate that non-dendrite microstructure in AZ61 magnesium alloy billets can be obtained by hot or cold upsetting predeformation in SIMA process, although their mechanisms of evolution are different. Increasing hot or cold upsetting predeformation ratio can enhance the effect and quality of the non-dendrite microstructure formed before storage energy up to saturation, but the proper isothermal temperature and holding time should be selected.展开更多
