Abstract
The paper presents the results of the crystallisation process of cast magnesium alloys based on the thermal-derivation analysis. The effects of aluminium content and cooling rate on the characteristic parameters of the evaluation of magnesium dendrites during solidification at different cooling rates were investigated by thermal-derivative analysis (TDA). Dendrite coherency point (DCP) is defined with a new approach based on the second derivative cooling curve. Solidification behaviour was evaluated via one thermocouple thermal analysis method. Microstructural evaluations were characterised by light microscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. This research revealed that utilisation of d2T/dt2 versus the time curve methodology allows for analysis of the dendrite coherency point.
