Abstract

The microstructure in modified semi-solid thixocast (A356) alloy consists of an α-Al phase with an Al/Si eutectic structure. The silicon phase in the eutectic structure is coral-like with fine fibers. The lack of good ductility in this alloy is related to the presence of silicon fibers. Accordingly, many investigations have been recently conducted to modify the Si morphology through thermomechanical processing on this alloy. In the present work, a thixocast (A356) alloy was deformed at 450 °C, 500 °C and 540 °C through different strain rates. Consequently the silicon fibers were broken into small particles. The results indicated that the Si particles might coarsen at 540 °C when deformed by rates of 0.0005 s−1 and 0.0001 s−1.
