Popis: Fe-intermetallic compounds are commonly considered as a harmful phase in the recycled aluminum alloys. The Deformation Semi-Solid Forming (D-SSF) process has advantages to modify these harmful compounds into more favorable particles by thermo-mechanical deformation and subsequently heating to the semi-solid state. The evolution of fragmented Fe-intermetallic compounds of the Al-Mg-Si-Fe alloy was investigated during heating to various semi-solid temperatures. The fragmented Fe-intermetallic compound was transformed into the polyhedral shape in the initial stage and subsequently spheroidized shape at the low semi-solid temperatures between 580–610°C. At temperatures higher than 613°C, fragmented Fe-intermetallic compounds completely melt into the liquid phase with long holding time. The Fe-intermetallic compounds are stable as solid phase at low semi-solid temperature and metastable at high semi-solid temperature.
