Abstract
Study the property and resistivity of Low-pressure semi-solid die casting ( LPSSDC) aluminum wheel hub after heat treatment. The Brinell hardness has reached more than 100HB in all position. Tensile properties at inner rim and outer rim are both reached 280MPa. The result of resistance analysis on LPSSDC aluminum wheel hub is below. The resistivity of the material is only influenced by the supersaturated solid solution (SSSS), GP zone, metastable phase β 'and stable phase β (Mg2Si). The resistivity has a decline during aging 0-0.5h and 0.75-8h, and an increasing during 0.5-0.75h. The resistivity remains stably when the decomposition of the solid solution achieved a dynamic balance after 8h aging time.
