Abstract

An advanced rheo-squeeze casting process, based on the annular electromagnetic stirring (A-EMS) melt treatment technology was developed by GRINM for manufacturing near-net shape Al-alloy components with high integrity. Effects of A-EMS melt treatment process on microstructure and property of squeeze casting Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Sc alloys were studied. The results revealed that the A-EMS melt treatment process apparently benefited grain refinement and homogeneity, and the hot-cracking of the test alloy for a complicated casting was significantly alleviated, and thus the strength and ductility of the casting were found to be comparable to those of conventionally forged alloys.
