(Special materials' production, such as welded tubes, MMC, Laminates, Foam and Tailored Blanks, are treated in a subsequent section.) The purpose is to illustrate the production processes, which lead to special qualities and shapes and to a variety of surface finishes, as background for material selection and fabrication. When specifying or designing such products, it is important - for economic reasons - to consider the characteristics of the production processes. Semi-finished automotive products are specialty materials with closely controlled properties and tolerances for specific customer requirements and are to be distinguished generally from standard mill products and stock materials for general purpose applications.

Landsber: Verl. Moderne Industrie, 2001, (Die Bibliothek der Technik; Bd. 220) ISBN 3-478-93250-5 Automotive sheet material is a specialty material In order to comply with the requirements of the car manufacturer aluminium automotive sheet materials have been developed with special property profiles, which are the result of combined characteristics of the base material and the sheet surface (s. figure below). Source: M. Bloeck and G. Marshall, Alcan Sheet production comprises several discrete steps: ingot casting, hot rolling, cold rolling and finishing (heat treatment, surface preparation and/or cutting). Version 2002 © European Aluminium Association ([email protected]) 3 5.2.2 Automotive sheet production – Process steps influence microstructure and properties Base material properties are directly related to microstructure which is strictly controlled by alloy composition and the processing parameters. Examples of key processing parameters are given in the accompanying table. The sheet surface characteristics have a significant influence on: friction behaviour, i.e. during ◦ transport of the panels, ◦ forming, ◦ mechanical joining, joining performance, e.g. during welding, bonding, adhesion of coatings and lacquers, optical appearance after lacquering, corrosion resistance Source: M. Bloeck and G. Marshall, Alcan Evolution of Microstructure The essential microstructural features developing during the complete chain of thermo- mechanical processing steps from ingot casting through ingot homogenisation, hot rolling, cold rolling and intermediate or final annealing are grain structure constituent phase particles precipitations and textures.

Löchte, VAW aluminium AG Bonn Version 2002 © European Aluminium Association ([email protected]) 5 5.2.3 From ingot to strip and panel Cast House Raw metal for production of ingots: Mixture of primary aluminium and sorted fabrication scrap or secondary aluminium gained by melting of scrap from recycled products. Casting: Alloying elements are added (when needed) to the melt to attain precise composition control. The molten Aluminium is filtered and degassed immediately before casting. DC casting stands for Direct Chill casting. For example an aluminium smelter or cast house will produce between 100-600 kt of sheet ingots annually with an individual ingot weighing up to 27 t. A casting centre will cast up to five ingots in a single operation Casting of aluminium ingots Source: M. Bloeck, Alcan, 87331 From ingot to rolling slab The cast ingots are typical sawn at head and foot to remove head skrinkage and start of cast foot region. The cast surface imperfections and metallurgical inhomogeneities are also removed by scalping the rolling faces to a predefined depth that depends on alloy and product requirements. Strip casting It is also possible to produce a coil of aluminium by a semi-continuous route using a block, belt or roll caster. The semi-fabricated product is a coil in the 3 to 10 mm range which would subsequently be cold rolled to final gauge. Casting a thin strip product can have economic advantages but there are metallurgical drawbacks associated with rolling a cast surface, lack of homogenisation and chemical segregation linked to some alloys. For these reasons continuous casters have yet not been adopted for automotive sheet.

Bloeck, Alcan, 87333 Version 2002 © European Aluminium Association ([email protected]) 7 Hot Rolling Preheating: the slabs are preheated at 480-580oC for several hours for homogenization of the microstructure. Hot rolling: the preheated slabs are hot rolled using exactly defined pass reductions and controlled temperature conditions. In most rolling plants hot rolling is done on a reversing mill (up to ~ 25 mm strip gauge) followed by rolling on a tandem mill. In some rolling plants hot rolling is performed on a reversing mill only. Depending on the hot rolling concept, the gauge of the hot rolled strip can vary between 3-12 mm. The hot rolled strip is hot coiled and cooled down to RT. Cold rolling: The hot rolled strip is cold rolled to final gauge in several passes. Cold deformation leads to an increase of the material strength. Therefore, for some alloys an interanneal is performed to allow further rolling.

  • A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting
    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting Stephen P. Midson The Midson Group, Inc. Denver, Colorado USA Andrew Jackson Arthur Jackson & Co., Ltd. Brighouse UK Abstract The first semi-solid casting process to be commercialized was thixocasting, where a pre-cast billet is re-heated to the semi-solid solid casting temperature. Advantages of thixocasting include the production of high quality components, while the main disadvantage is the higher cost associated with the production of the pre-cast billets. Commercial pressures have driven casters to examine a different approach to semi-solid casting, where the semi-solid slurry is generated directly from the liquid adjacent to a die casting machine. These processes are collectively referred to as rheocasting, and there are currently at least 15 rheocasting processes either in commercial production or under development around the world. This paper will describe technical aspects of both thixocasting and rheocasting, comparing the procedures used to generate the globular, semi-solid slurry. Two rheocasting processes will be examined in detail, one involved in the production of high integrity properties, while the other is focusing on reducing the porosity content of conventional die castings. Key Words Semi-solid casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, aluminum alloys 22 / 1 Introduction Semi-solid casting is a modified die casting process that reduces or eliminates the porosity present in most die castings [1] . Rather than using liquid metal as the feed material, semi-solid processing uses a higher viscosity feed material that is partially solid and partially liquid. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful gas porosity can be essentially eliminated.
