Recently, rheology forming technology has been interested in industrial and academic for light weight materials and to solve environmental issues. In this study, the rheology material production equipments were used to be made spiral shape by special design. And the experiment variables established stirring time 0 $\sim$ 1200 sec, stirring velocity 0 $\sim$ 100 rpm and several material temperature of semi - solid states. The rheology materials were made for established experiment conditions then measured mechanical properties. Sequence-production equipments were appended to fabrication system of rheology material for make rheology materials continually. Therefore, the development of sequence-production equipments were demanded for fine grains and for uniform globule shape rheology materials by a specially designed spiral stirrer machine.

A semi-solid forming technology has a lot of advantages compared to the die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forging, so semi-solid forming has been studied actively. Semi-solid forming has two methods. One is thixoforming with reheating of prepared billet, the other is rheoforming with cooled melt until semi-solid state. Thixoforging technology can produce non-dendritic alloys for semi-solid forming complex shaped parts in metal alloys. In this study, the thixoforging was experimented with made rheology materials by the spiral stirrer equipment. Rheology materials for forging were made by A356 casting aluminum alloy and A6061 wrought aluminum alloy. After experiment, forged samples were measured microstructure and were heat treated for high mechanical properties.
