Research of rheo model of semi-solid Mg2Si/AM60 magnesium matrix composites
The apparent viscosities of semi-solid Mg<inf>2</inf>Si/AM60 magnesium matrix composites at steady state were tested‥ The results show that the apparent viscosities of semi-solid Mg<inf>2</inf>Si/AM60 magnesium matrix composites at steady state increase with increasing solid fraction f<inf>α-Mg</inf> and volume fraction of Mg<inf>2</inf>Si f<inf>Mg2Si</inf> and decrease with increasing shearing rate γ. An equation that shows the effect of f<inf>Mg2Si</inf>, f<inf>α-Mg</inf>, γ on the apparent viscosities was established as following, equations.
