Abstract
The effects of annulus gap width, stirring power and stirring frequency on the microstructure of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy slurry have been investigated by the annulus electromagnetic stirring (AEMS) technology The results show that narrow annulus gap , strong stirring power and high stirring frequency are advantageous to obtain the small spherical primarymicrostructure, the smaller the annulus gap width is, the bigger the stirring power is, and the higher the stirring frequency is, the more uniform, the smaller and the more spherical the microstructure is. So the high stirring frequency, narrow annulus gap, strong stirring power are beneficial to obtain the fine and spherical semisolid microstructure in AEMS. Also the results indicate that the primary particles are globular, small and distribute homogeneously in the AEMS.
