The investigations were performed into the formation processes of liquid pools entrapped within solid grains of three ZA27 alloys, produced respectively by either grain refinement, or traditional permanent casting or mechanical stirring, during partial remelting at semisolid temperature of 460°C. The results show that the rapid coalescence of primary grains due to merging of secondary arms during the initial stage of partial remelting is the main cause for the formation of the entrapped liquid pools. This coalescence resulted in that a high quality of eutectics, especially the h phase, was entrapped within the grains, and then remelted to form liquid pools during the subsequent heating. In addition, the growth of the h phase decomposed from the primary a' phase and b phase and the subsequent remelting is another cause for the refined and permanent mould casting alloys. Furthermore, the agglomeration of the solid grains also resulted in the entrapment of liquid in the interior of grains.

The effects of Cr and Cr/Mn combined additions on the semi-solid microstructure of wrought Al-Mg-Si alloys are investigated. In the Cr-added alloy, the Al7Cr compound is formed with homogeneously distributed in the α-Al matrix after homogenization. Both of the Al7Cr and α-Al12Mn3Si2 dispersiod particles are found in the homogenized microstructure of the Cr/Mn-added alloy. In the semi-solid microstructures, the smallest α-Al grains are obtained in the 60% cold-rolled alloys. After prolonged holding time, the α-Al grain size of the Cr/Mn-added alloy is smaller than that of the Cr-added alloy. Heavy deformation by cold-rolling accelerates spheroidization of the α-Al grains. The D-SSF process is found to be useful to modify the microstructures of both the Cr-added and Cr/Mn-added Al-Mg-Si alloys.
