Abstract

Thermal simulation compression tests were performed on semi-solid billet in order to observe and investigate the behavior of 6061 aluminum alloys while varying the processing parameters such as apparent viscosity, the shear rate and the temperature. Specimens of 6061 aluminum alloys were characterized with their semi-solid behavior during partial melting and holding in the semi-solid state. Furthermore, the constitutive equation of semi-solid 6061 aluminum alloys was investigated. Moreover, the tests allow the apparent viscosity and shear rate of the alloys to be determined as a function of the solid volume fraction and strain rate together with the geometry behavior of the specimen. Utilizing these parameters, semi-solid die casting process of 6061 aluminum alloys could be simulated by the change of the solid volume fractions.
