✦ Synopsis

Smooth round bars were produced from conventional non-modified cast alloy, A356, by semi-solid extrusion after isothermal holding in mushy zone. Extrusion process was carried out in an apparatus, designed and prepared for this purpose at a ram speed, 2.5 mm/s. Three forming temperatures: 560, 570 and 580 °C; three isothermal holding times: 5, 30 and 60 min; and two extrusion reduction ratios: 5.3 and 17.8 were the used parameters. A clear modification of eutectic phase and an improvement in hardness and tensile properties were found compared with those of conventional casting. The tensile test specimens fracture surfaces were examined using SEM. Furthermore, wear resistance, fatigue strength and impact energy were also, improved significantly.

The microstructures and tensile mechanical properties of Ti14, a new typical ␣ + Ti 2 Cu alloy, after semi-solid forging were researched. The results reveal that its microstructure is coarse and the grain boundary is wide after semi-solid forging, leading to low plasticity at room temperature. Recry
