Abstract  

The effect of isothermal heat treatment on the microstructure evolution of semi-solid AZ91D magnesium alloy was investigated. The results show that the roundness of the primary α-Mg phase increases with the increasing temperature and time. The microstructure evolution of the semi-solid AZ91D experiences three stages during isothermal heat treatment process, i.e. the structure separation, spheroidization and final coarsening. The liquid phase of semi-solid alloy has three types, namely, the molten pool, the “entrapped liquid” pool and the liner liquid film which separates two neighbor particles. The solid phase has two types, namely, the primary α-Mg particles and the α-Mg phase formed in the second solidification.

Key words:  metallic materials      isothermal heat treatment      AZ91D magnesium alloy      semi-solid      microstructure
