Abstract

In this study, we investigated optimum condition of cooling plate method to obtain semi-solid AM100A Mg alloy with fine and globular morphology. AM100A Mg alloy were hot extruded at 380oC extrusion temperature under extrusion ratio of 25 : 1 and ram speed of 2.4 mm/sec. Vickers hardness test, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and image analyzer were performed to identify the optimum conditions of cooling plate method. Optimum conditions of cooling plate method to fabricate semi-solid AM100A Mg alloy with fine and globular microstructures were achieved at a pouring temperature of 602oC and the angle of cooling plate of 60 degree.
