摘要:SA42 and Mg-4Sm-2.6Al (SA42.6) alloys were fabricated by HPDC process, and influence of trace Al content on mechanical properties was systematically analyzed. The results indicate that with 0.6% Al addition to SA42 alloy, the yield strength and elongation are reduced by 10.2% and 63.5%, respectively, which is attributed to the large quantities of massive Al2Sm phases generated by reaction between Al and Sm dissolved into the matrix, leading to an approximate 50% reduction in Sm concentration within Mg matrix, significantly diminishing solute strengthening effects. The contributions from secondary phase strengthening as well as grain boundary strengthening provided by formed Al2Sm can hardly compensate for the loss in solid solution strengthening effect, resulting in an approximate reduction of 20 MPa in yield strength for SA42.6 compared to that of SA42. The substantial decrease in elongation primarily arises from modulus mismatch between Al2Sm particles and Mg matrix. The brittle and hard Al2Sm particles induce great stress concentrations during deformation processes, thereby accelerating fracture and failure.
摘要:The electrochemical properties of 440C, BD1N and S35VN martensitic stainless steels in artificial saliva (AS) and borate buffered saline (BBS) were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Potentiodynamic polarization curves reveal that passivation occurrs for all the samples, indicating desirable corrosion resistance. The circular arc shape of EIS results illustrates that the electrode processes are controlled by the electrochemical reactions. The 440C sample exhibits small corrosion current density Jcorr, high corrosion potential Ecorr, large arc radius, large sum of charge transfer resistance and passivation film resistance Rct+Rf, indicating optimal corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance is presented as follows: 440C > BD1N > S35VN. The corrosion products are mainly composed of FeO, Fe2O3, and Cr2O3.

摘要:A solidification structure model was established based on CAFE module in ProCAST to explore the influence of continuous casting process conditions on solidification structure of GCr15 bearing steel billet, and the accuracy was verified in terms of temperature field and solidification structure. Effects of superheat of molten steel, drawing speed of billet and cooling intensity of secondary cooling zone on solidification structure of continuous casting billet were investigated. The results indicate that the proportion of central equiaxed crystals is increased and grains are refined by reducing superheat and secondary cooling intensity as well as enhancing drawing speed, where the effect of superheat reduction is the most obvious. For each 10 ℃ decrease, the average proportion of central equiaxed crystals is increased by 15.80% and the average grain size is decreased by 3.18%. With enhancing the drawing speed or decreasing the secondary cooling strength, the proportion of equiaxed grains and the number of grains in the center of casting billet are also increased, which have a less effect than that of changing superheat.

摘要:Taking coated fused ceramic sand as raw material, influence of phosphate powder addition on the initial strength, curing strength and high-temperature strength of SLS bi-component coated fused ceramic sand was investigated. The action mechanism was explored, and vacuum casting TC4 test was carried out. The results indicate that the initial strength of optimized bi-component coated fused ceramic sand molding with 2% phenolic resin fused ceramic sand + 7% phosphate powder is 0.48 MPa, and the cured strength is 0.73 MPa after low-temperature baking. The high-temperature strength of homemade yttrium oxide coating for baking is 2.64 MPa, and the gassing amount is only 4.16 mL/g. The roughness of titanium alloy castings by vacuum casting is 4.70~8.55 μm without obvious casting defects, and the average microhardness is 371 HV. EDS linear scanning reveals that the average thickness of interfacial reaction layer in titanium alloy castings is less than 30 μm.
摘要:50Si/Al-1Mg composites for electronic encapsulation were prepared by powder thixoforming process, and effects of T6 heat treatment on microstructure, mechanical properties and thermophysical properties of the composites were investigated by determining the thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, flexural strength and Vickers hardness. The results indicate that the powder thixoforming process can prepare Si/Al composites with uniform distribution of Si particles and dense structure. After solid solution treatment at different temperatures, the large-sized Si particles grow gradually with the increase of solid solution temperature, and the small-sized ones as well as the second phase are dissolved and finally disappear. After aging at 170 ℃ for 6 h, the flexural strength and hardness of composites reach 387.55 MPa and 256 HV, which are 16.2% and 7.43% higher than those of primary specimens, respectively, while the thermal conductivity has little change.
摘要:The compound tube billet of 45 steel/304 stainless steel was prepared under 1 560, 1 590 and 1 620 ℃ by liquid-solid composite method. The cross-section composites were observed by OM and SEM, and shear strength was tested. The results domestrate that there exists an element diffusion zone at compound interface of 45 steel and 304 stainless steel, and the diffusion zone of Cr and Ni elements is increased with the increase of pouring temperature. SEM observation reveals that compound layers with a certain thickness are generated in all composites. The element distribution becomes more complicated with the increase of pouring temperature, and the element diffusion is obvious. The shear strength of compound interface is 248, 262 and 285 MPa at 1 560, 1 590, and 1 620 ℃, respectively, indicating the enhancement of shear strength with the increase of pouring temperature.
摘要:A laser melting deposition technique was utilized to directly deposit W-7Ni-3Fe alloy on RAFM steel substrate. The microstructure evolutions and mechanical properties of W/steel joints were investigated by OM, XRD, SEM and EDS, micro-hardness and tensile tests. The results indicate that the fabricated W/steel joints exhibit metallurgical bonding without cracks at the joints. The structure of joint is divided into substrate layer, reaction layer, and tungsten alloy layer. Large amounts of Fe7W6 and W particles are dispersedly distributed in the reaction layer, leading to the high hardness up to 662 HV, and the tensile strength of W/steel joint reaches 557 MPa. Due to the presence of plenty of W/Fe7W6 interfaces in the upper part of reaction layer, cracks initiate and propagate in the region, resulting in the final fractures.
摘要:The hydroxylapatite coating (HA) was prepared on the surface of magnesium alloy samples by hydrothermal method, and then the polydopamine (PDA)/HA composite coating was prepared on the surface by water bath heating method. After hydrothermal treatment, the surface coating of HA single film presents loose with large gaps. PDA/HA composite coating was prepared by PDA coating pre-treatment, whose surface is a uniform cross-covered with small sheet-like structure, showing a complete dense structure. The corrosion rate was calculated by immersion test, and microstructure of the alloy was analyzed by OM. The corrosion behavior and mechanism of the alloy were investigated to evaluate the protective efficiency of the coating. The results indicate that PDA/HA composite coating exhibits better corrosion resistance than single HA coating alloy, and plays a better protective role. The comprehensive properties of PDA/HA composite coatings prepared at 100 ℃ for 4 h are desirable, where the corrosion voltage is 0.063 82 V, and the corrosion current is 8.166 × 10-7 A/cm2.
摘要:The laser welding test of DP780 high-strength dual-phase steel with thickness of 2 mm was carried out with different defocusing amounts under the laser power of 2 000 W and welding speed of 18 mm/s. By means of metallographic microstructure observation, XRD, EBSD, tensile test and hardness test, the influence of different variables on the formability and mechanical properties of welded joints at defocus from -2 mm to +2 mm was investigated. EBSD results reveal that welded joint is composed of four regions, and there exists thick lath martensite in the weld zone, which are all α phase. XRD diffraction peak presents sharp morphology, and the strong peaks are (110), (200) and (211). The tensile strength and elongation of joint is 770 MPa and 12.86% under defocus of -2 mm, respectively, indicating desirable welding. The microhardness of welded joint shows a “M” shape distribution, reaching the minimum value at tempering softening zone.

The structure is evenly distributed buncher composed of α+β+α″ at 780 ℃, where the comprehensive mechanical properties are desirable.
摘要:Magnesium matrix heterogeneous materials were prepared by accumulative roll bonding process(ARB), and microstructure evolution, mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties of laminated materials with different heterogeneity during the ARB process were investigated. The results indicate that through inserting pure magnesium sheets into AE45 magnesium alloy sheets and rolling, a structure/shielding integrated laminated heterogeneous material can be obtained. During the rolling process, the intermediate layers are subjected to the shear stress, resulting in severe deformation and wavy structure. In the AE45/Mg-C4 material with volume fraction of 29% pure magnesium, conductivity is stable with decrease of pure magnesium volume fraction due to the formation of uniform conductive network with a neatly distributed laminated structure. The laminated heterogeneous material formed by stacking seven layers presents desirable electromagnetic shielding effect in the X-band (8.2~12.4 GHz). AE45/Mg-C3 exhibits desirable shielding effect of 98.2~109.57 dB in the band of 9.4~10.75GHz. For AE45/Mg-C4 in the 9.4~10.75 GHz band, the desirable shielding effect is 98.2~106.3 dB, and in the 10.75~12.4 GHz band, the satisfied shielding effect is 99.5~109.34 dB, which is attributed to the continuous impedance mismatched interfaces. AE45/Mg-C4 possesses satisfied mechanical properties, where the yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and the hardness reach 245 MPa,316 MPa,20.4% and 106 HV, respectively.
摘要:Al-9Si-2Cu alloys with different Fe contents (0.2%, 0.5% and 1.2%) were prepared under 75 MPa extrusion pressure and water-cooled quenching conditions, which were subjected to aging treatments of 175 ℃×2 h and 250 ℃×2 h, and effects of aging temperatures on microstructures, mechanical properties, thermal and electrical conductivities of the alloys with different Fe contents were analyzed. The results indicate that the electrical and thermal conductivity of as-cast alloys are lower than those of ones after aging at 175 ℃ for 2 h and higher than those of ones after the aging at 250 ℃ for 2 h. The strength of the alloys after aging at 175 ℃ for 2 h is superior to that of the as-cast ones and the ones after aging at 250 ℃ for 2 h, which reaches 304 MPa. The reason is that the matrix structure of 175 ℃×2 h aging-treated alloy is dominated by G.P. zone, with only a small amount of θ′ phase, whereas G.P. zone disappears in the 250 ℃×2 h aging-treated alloy, and a large number of θ′-Al2Cu phases are precipitated.
摘要:Effects of Sr and ultrasound on solidified structure and mechanical properties of iron-rich A356 alloy were investigated by OM, SEM, EDS, XRD, Brinell hardness tester and tensile tester. The results indicate that Sr and ultrasonic treatment can effectively refine primary grain, eutectic Si phase and iron-rich phase and improve mechanical properties of the alloy. Compared with that of untreated alloy, the length of needle-like iron-rich phase of the composite treated alloy is decreased by 66%, and Brinell hardness, tensile strength, and elongation are increased by 23.1%, 43.5%, and 120.3%, respectively. Under the compound treatment condition, in the range of 0~900 W, grains and eutectic Si phase in the alloy are refined gradually with the increase of processing power,and size of the iron-rich phase is reduced gradually. In the range of 0~90 s, with the ultrasound progressing, grains and eutectic Si phase in the alloy are refined at first and then coarsened and size of the iron-rich phase is decreased at first and then increased with the turning points of 60 s. The mechanical properties of iron-rich A356 alloy are directly retated with solidified structure. With decreasing in the grain size, eutectic Si phase and iron-rich phase of the alloy, the tensile properties and hardness are improved.
摘要:The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-7Si-2Cu-Mg alloy modified with Sb were investigated and compared with those of Sr modified alloy, and the mechanism was also described. The results indicate that Sb addition can transform eutectic Si in Al-7Si-2Cu-Mg alloy from coarse flake to fine lamellar, meanwhile the eutectic Si can be spheroidized by heat treatment, and the most suitable amount of Sb addition is 0.2%~0.3%. Sb can increase formation temperature of primary α-Al and recalescence magnitude. Sb also reduces precipitation temperature of Q-Al5Cu2Mg8Si6 andθ-Al2Cu, and decrease precipitation amount. The mechanical properties of Al-7Si-2Cu-Mg alloy can be obviously improved by Sb modification, especially the elongation. The elongation of as-cast and T6-treated alloy is significantly higher than that of Sr modified alloy.
摘要:The target alloy Al-8Si was obtained by controlled diffusion (CDS) using pure Al as precursor alloy 1 and Al-12Si as precursor alloy 2 at a certain mass ratio and temperature, and the flow field, temperature field, solute field and nucleation rate of the melt, as well as the experimental grain size and shape of the primary α-Al were analyzed by combination of numerical simulation and experimental verification. The results reveal that the casting distance affects the mixing effect of both master alloys, and when the casting distance is excessive or insufficient, the solute field and temperature field of the mixed melt are heterogeneous with lower nucleation rate, and the primary α-Al presents coarse and irregular grains. When the casting distance is 80 mm, the mixing effect is desirable, and temperature field and solute field are the most uniform with the highest nucleation rate, where the average grain size and shape factor of the primary α-Al are 57.6 μm and 1.55, respectively.
摘要:The pore evolution in AlZnMgCu alloy during homogenization heat treatment and hot compression was investigated by X-ray microscopy (XRM). The results indicate that the pore morphology is greatly affected by homogenization. The micro convex of the dendritic pores and the tortuously narrow connecting channel are coarsened obviously under the drive of Ostwald ripening, resulting in the roundness enhancement of porosities. During homogenization, the number of larger-sized pores as well as three-dimensional size has little change, while the number of small-sized pore is increased. After hot compression at 420 ℃, the number and size of pores are decreased gradually with increase of compression deformation, and the closing rate of pores is increased significantly when the deformation amount exceeds 40%. Pores with the smaller size and shape coefficient tend to be closed, while those with high gas content are diffcult to close, which are finally compressed into smaller spherical ones under large deformation conditions.
摘要:Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron (CADI) grinding ball exhibits high hardness and high wear resistance and low impact toughness, which is easily broken and leads to failure in practical application. The microstructure and mechanical properties of CADI ball were improved by Mn alloying and 1 100 ℃ ultra-high temperature heat treatment. The results indicate that the microstructure of CADI ball is mainly composed of spherical graphite, carbide, acicular ferrite and residual austenite. With the increase of Mn content, the content of (Fe,Mn)3C in CADI mill ball is increased with the larger size .In addition, the surface and core hardness is increased firstly and then decreased, and the impact toughness is decreased, since (Fe, Mn)3C is transformed from strip to network. When Mn content is 2.1%, the surface and core hardness are 56 HRC and 54 HRC, respectively. The impact toughness is 4.5 J/cm2, and the wear amount is 0.9 mg. After ultra-high temperature treatment, the content of (Fe, Mn) 3C in CADI mill ball is reduced with a smaller size, and the hardness and impact toughness are increased. With 2.1% Mn content, the surface hardness and core hardness are 59 HRC and 56 HRC, respectively. The impact toughness is 6.8 J/cm2 and the wear amount is 0.7 mg.

摘要:The solidification process of 4Cr13 mold steel is prone to form defects such as shrinkage holes, cracks and macroscopic segregation, which seriously affects the product quality and material yield. The influence of PMO treatment on the solidification microstructure and elemental segregation in 4Cr13 steel ingots under slow cooling conditions was investigated by in-situ melt cooling method. The results reveal that the ingot without PMO treatment iexhibits whole columnar crystal structure with serious center shrinkage and cracks as well as serious elemental segregation. After PMO treatment, shrinkage and cracks in ingot center completely disappear, and the area of equiaxial crystal area reaches more than 50% of the ingot cross-sectional area. C content in ingot core is effectively controlled, which is decreased by 12.94% in the core of 4Cr13 after PMO treatment. Meanwhile, fluctuations of C and alloying elements Si,Cr content are significantly reduced. PMO treatment can significantly refine the dendritic microstructure of 4Cr13 steel, and the length of the primary dendrites is reduced by about 70%.
