Abstract:
The microstructures of Al-20%Si (mass fraction) alloy prepared by melt thermal treatment (including the melt mixing and melt superheating) were studied combining with chemical metamorphism to further refine the primary silicon. The results show that, when the mixed melt is superheated to 900°C, the grain size of primary silicon is decreased to about 34 μm. And adding the modificator or refiner into the melt before melt mixing can further refine the primary silicon of Al-20%Si. Especially, when the Al-10%Si melt mixes with the Al-30%Si melt added 0.2%Al-5Ti-C-3Ce and 0.4%Cu-10P, respectively, then superheated the mixed melt, the primary silicon of Al-20%Si is well uniformly distributed in tiny blocklike with the grain size less than 10 μm, which makes the matrix of the alloy exhibit typical composite characteristic. The analysis shows that the melt thermal treatment and adding modificator or refiner at the same time have multiple modification effects on the primary silicon. The melt thermal treatment increases the supercooling degree during the solidification process of the alloys to refine or modify the primary silicon because of the re-melt of primary α(Al) and the recombination of chemical bond in Al-Si alloy as mixing the different melt together. And then superheating the mixing melt can make the pre-crystallized primary silicon split and proliferate, thus further refine or modify the primary silicon. And adding refiner or modificator can improve the refinement effect of the melt thermal treatment on the primary silicon of the Al-Si alloys.
