Abstract
The formation and character of grain boundaries in the primary solid particles observed in the metal slurries of stircast Al-4wt%Zn-1wt%Mg alloy were studied. In the semi-solid state of the solid fraction (fs) of more than 0.5, fracturing of solid particles appears to be dominated by shear force at high temperature, whilst in fs < 0.4 dendritic fragmentations are expected to occur by grain boundary melting. In case of shear rupture at fs > 0.5 coarsening of spherical solid particles takes place by Gibbs-Thompson effect of small particles remelting leading to solute redistribution.
