Abstract
In the semi-solid die casting process, an important thing is the flow behavior of semi-solid materials. The flow patterns of the semi-solid material can make the defects during die filling. To control the flow patterns is very important and difficult. In this paper, the flow behavior of the semi-solid A356 alloy material during die filing at various die gate shapes has been observed with the grain size controlled material. The effect of the gate shape on the die filling characteristics was investigated. The filling tests in each plunger stroke were experimented, and also simulated on the semi-solid material die casting process by MAGMAsoft. According to the filling tests and computer simulation, the effect of the gate shape on liquid segregation has been investigated.
