The results shows that the relationship between solid fraction and stirring temperature of mushy is: f(s) = 591.5-0.897 t (where f(s) is the solid fraction, t is the stirring temperature). For Al-7graphite composite, with the increasing of solid fraction, the aggregation extent of graphite particles reduced gradually, and when solid fraction was larger than 30%, graphite particles could distribute evenly in ingot.展开更多

The distribution of graphite particies in QTi3.5-15/graghite slurry was studied using cold quenching method. The results show that solid fraction of QTi3.5-15/graphite slurry increases with the decreasing of stirring temperature.

When the solid fraction is larger than 45%, the rising of graphite particies in slurry can be restricted, and QTi3.5-15/graghite slurry with uniform distribution of graphite particies can be prepared.展开更多
