Purpose: This work presents effect of cooling rate on the mechanical and structural properties and thermal characteristic results of MC MgAl3Zn1 cast alloy. Design/methodology/approach: The experiments were performed using the novel Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer Platform. Material used in this experiment is experimental magnesium alloy made as-cast. Findings: The research show that the thermal analysis carried out on UMSA Technology Platform is an efficient tool for collect and calculate thermal parameters. The formation temperatures of various thermal parameters, mechanical properties (hardness and ultimate compressive strength) and grain size are shifting with an increasing cooling rate. Research limitations/implications: This paper presents results for one alloy - MC MgAl3Zn1 only, cooled with three different solidifications rate i.e. 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4°C/s, for assessment for the liquidus and solidus temperatures and its influence on the mechanical properties and structure. Practical implications: The parameters described can be applied in metal casting industry for selecting magnesium ingot preheating temperature for semi solid processing to achieve requirements properties. Originality/value: The paper contributes to better understanding and recognition an influence of different solidification condition on non-equilibrium thermal parameters of magnesium alloys.
