摘要
Melt conditioning by advanced shear technology (MCAST) is a new process for microstructural refinement of both cast and wrought magnesium alloys. Melt conditioned direct chill (MCDC) casting combines the MCAST process with conventional direct chill (DC) casting. In the present work, melt conditioning has been combined with permanent mould casting to simulate the production of DC cast AZ91D billets and slabs. The results show that the MCDC process can achieve significantly finer grain size and more uniform microstructure than conventional DC process for both billets and slabs. Grain refinement in the MCDC process is due to the fine and well dispersed oxide particles produced after processing in the MCAST unit.
