Abstract: In this paper, a semi-solid stirring and hot rolling process was used to prepare A356-10%B4Cp composite sheet, the effects of semi-solid stirring parameters on the as-cast and hot-rolled microstructures of the A356-10%B4Cp composites were studied. It is found that, when the mi-xing temperature is 580 ℃, the mixing time is 15 min, stirring speed is within 800 r/min, the average diameter and roundness of α-Al grains decrease with the increase of stirring speed, and the distribution of B4C particles tends to be uniform. When the stirring speed exceeds 800 r/min, the average diameter and roundness of α-Al did not decrease, and the distribution of B4C particles tends to be nonuniform. When the mixing temperature is 580 ℃, stirring speed is 800 r/min, stirring time is within 5—35 min, the average diameter and roundness of α-Al decreased with the increase of stirring time, and the distribution of B4C particles was also uniform. The optimum technological parameters are as follows: stirring temperature is 580 ℃, stirring speed is 800 r/min, stirring time is 35 min. The A356-10%B4Cp composite plate with smooth surface can be obtained after hot rolling of the composite ingot prepared by the process.
