Rheological behavior of Sn-15 pct Pb alloy in the solidification range has been investigated using a Couette type viscometer. In samples partially solidified before shearing, deformation is localized and primarily intergranular. Samples containing more than about 0.15 fraction solid exhibit an “apparent yield point” which is on the order of 106dyne per sq cm and increases with increasing fraction solid. When shearing is conducted continuously while the alloy is cooled from above the liquidus to the desired final fraction solid, shear stresses required for flow are reduced by about three orders of magnitude. The solid-liquid mixture now behaves as a fluid slurry. Structural examination shows that shear takes place throughout the cross section of the specimen and that the solid is present as a fine grained particulate suspension. Flow behavior can be described by a viscosity which depends on fraction solid, decreases with increasing shear rate and exhibits hysteresis when shear rate is changed. For shear rates of 200 sec−1, at 0.40 fraction solid, viscosity is about 5 poise which is equivalent to that of heavy machine oil at room temperature. The fact that the slurry is highly fluid at large fractions solid suggests potential applications in new and existing metal casting processes.
