RESUMO

The goal of this work was to evaluate the thixoformability of Al-Xwt%Si-2.5wt%CuO.5wt%Mg alIoys, including the thixocasting of all alloys and their complete characterization in terms of macro and microstructures and rheological behavior. Al-l.0wt%Si-2.5wt%CuO.5wt%Mg, Al-2.0wt%Si-2.5wt%Cu-0.5wt%Mg, Al-4.0wt%Si-2.5wt%Cu-0.5wt%Mg and Al-7.0wt%Si-2.5wt%Cu-0.5wt%Mg alloys were produced by ultra-refining by addiction of Al5.0wt%Ti-1.0wt%B master alIoy. The materials were submitted to re-heating treatment for Os, 30s, 90s and 2l0s in two conditions, 45% al!d 60% of solid fraction. 1.0wt%Si, 2.0wt%Si and 4.0wt%Si alloys showed very similar results for apparent viscosity, however the 4.0wt%Si alloy showed better performance in terms of globularization, measured by RQI. Thixocast 7.0wt%Si alloy presented dendrictic structures for alI conditions analyzed, making its application too difficult for thixoforming processes. Re-heating treatment times promote the solid phase particles globularization, so that the alloys treated during 210s achieved better results for apparent viscosity. Both 45% and 60% solid fractions did not show significant differences in terms of RQI, but the alloys containing lower solid fraction showed better performance for apparent viscosity, in the order of 105Pa.s
