Abstract

In this study, the effect of the temperature of magnesium slurry was investigated by mechanical stirring method. The evaluations of rheological behavior of AM50A magnesium alloy were measuring of viscosity and microstructures in the semisolid state. The apparent viscosity was investigated at continuous cooling rate using a concentric cylinder viscometer. Measurement of viscosity measures torque that act to stirrer rotating in slurry doing continuous cooling using torque-meter and expressed by POWER-LAW. Microstructures were observed after mechanical stirring that enforce time at steady state temperature of solid fraction.
