Aluminium alloys are one of the preferred materials especially for land and air transportation because of their high strength and low-density properties. Although production using casting method is economical yet it has some disadvantages. Shrinkage which is occurred due to the density difference between the solid and liquid metal is prevented by feeders which need to be calculated. Liquid metal should be transferred to the mould without any turbulence. As a result, sprues are needed to be designed precisely. On the other hand, aluminium alloys can also be shaped by forging at semi-solid temperatures. There are some advantages compared to the traditional forging methods of improving die life due to the lower tonnage values. In this study, semi-solid produced 7075 aluminium alloy die filling capabilities were investigated. To achieve semisolid structure strain induced melt activated method (SIMA) was used. The desired structure was achieved at 635°C and 30 minutes of duration of heat treatment. After determining the optimum parameters, metallographic analysis, density calculations, porosity distribution and tensile tests were carried out. It was found that the reproducibility of SIMA produced 7075 alloy was quite low. A proper tensile test result was achieved only 7 of the total 15 tests and the mean value was 386 MPa. The main reason for this scattered in mechanical properties could be the chemical composition of the alloy and the rapid solidification of the liquid eutectic phases. It is important to define the best fitting process parameters and controlling them precisely will be the most important factors for future studies.

Semi-solid processing (SSP) belongs to advance method of forming metal alloys in the solidus-liquidus range. Such technology requires a fine globular microstructure in a semi-solid range, which can be produced by numerous methods. The present paper focuses on two methods of preparation of a globular microstructure in X210CrW12 tool steel as a possible way of preparation of feedstock for thixoforming: hot plastic deformation (SIMA), and modification with boron. DSC analysis allowed to establish the amount of liquid phase fraction vs temperature. Samples were heated up to the semi-solid temperature range - 1230°C, which corresponds to 17% (SIMA) and 30% (modified) of the liquid fraction. Then they were rapidly cooled. The obtained microstructures of samples were investigated for their suitability for SSP. The microstructure of X210CrW12 steel prepared by SIMA shows a globular microstructure with average grain size 57 μm. The samples after modification with 0.08% (weight pct) boron also feature a globular microstructure with the size of 46 μm. The grains possess an austenitic structure and are surrounded by an eutectic mixture.

Formowanie tiksotropowe jest jedną z nowoczesnych metod kształtowania mikrostruktury stopów żelaza w zakresie temperatur solidus-likwidus. W procesie tym wymagany jest globularny kształt ziaren fazy stałej w zakresie stało-ciekłym. W pracy na przykładzie stali X210CrW12 przedstawiono dwie metody przygotowania mikrostruktury tiksotropowej poprzez: odkształcenie plastyczne powyżej temperatury rekrystalizacji (SIMA) oraz modyfikacje dodatkiem - 0,08%wag boru. Przeprowadzono analizę DSC w zakresie solidus-likwidus, która umożliwiła wyznaczenie udziału fazy ciekłej w funkcji temperatury. Próbki zostały nagrzane do 1230°C, która odpowiadała 17% fazy ciekłej dla stali X210CrW12 po odkształceniu (SIMA) i 30% w przypadku stali modyfikowanej, a następnie szybko schłodzone w wodzie. Przeprowadzono charakterystykę mikrostruktury w celu oceny jej przydatności do tiksoformowania. Badania potwierdziły, że dla metody przygotowania stopu wyjsciowego metoda SIMA wystepowały globularne ziarna o średniej wielkości 57 μm. W przypadku stali X210CrW12 po modyfikacji dodatkiem boru, również obserwowano sferoidalne ziarna roztworu stałego o rozmiarze 46 μm.
