Abstract: Under the condition of die casting and reheating temperature of 570-580° C, the Rhe-ological behavior of semi-solid aluminum alloy (A356) is pseudoplasticity at the shearrate of 2×10s-1×104 s-1, and also shows dilatancy at the rate over 106s-1.

Key words: shear rate, apparent viscosity, viscosity model, thixocasting
