duringhomogenization ofthe 5083 aluminum alloy,material microstructure was characterized by metallographicmicroscope(OM),scanningelectron microscope(SEM),energydispersivespectrometer (EDS),differentialscanningcalorimetry (DSC)and X-raydiffractometer (XRD).Theresultsshow thattherefractory phasesinthecast5083 aluminum alloyarecomposed of Al(FeMnCr)phases, Al(FeMnCr)Siphasesand Mg2Siphases.Thecompositionofthecaststatealloywasverifiedbyusing phasediagram calculations,and theresults are basicallyconsistent with the experiment.Asthe temperaturerises from 460 degrees C to 560 degrees C,the electrical conductivityincreases firstly and then decreases.Thisisrelatedtotheprecipitationofdispersedphaseandthedissolutionofrefractoryphase inthestructure.Whenthehomogenizationprocessingis540 degrees C/10hand560 degrees C/10h,therefractory phaseisdominatedbytheneedle-flake Al(FeMnCr)phases,Mg2Siphasesisfullysolubilized,the areafractionsare0.730% and0.632%,respectively,andthereisnooverburnedtissueatthesame time,andthereareobviousdispersedphaseparticlesinthegrain.Therefore,todissolvepartofthe refractoryphasesincast5083aluminum alloy,thehomogenizationtemperature mustbe >= 540 degrees C. Increasinghomogenizationtemperatureandprolonginghomogenizationtime willincreasegrainsize. Whenthehomogenizationtemperatureislessthan540 degrees C,theinsolublephasechangeshavelittle effectonthegraingrowth,whenthehomogenizationtemperatureisgreaterthan540 degrees C,theaverage grainsizebeginstobegreaterthan140 mu m,andtherefractoryphaseisdissolvedatthesametime.
