摘要:Hydrogen content in molten aluminum at different temperatures and holding times was examined by means of Hyscan Ⅱ hydrogen analyser. The improved BP neural network modeling with 2 4 2 1 structure was adopted for training and testing by experimental data obtained. After learning for 3×10 5 times, max training error and RMS training error of BP neural network are 0.55%and 0.18%, corresponding to 0.72% max test error and 0.33% RMS test training respectively. The prediction precision is so high for the hydrogen content in molten aluminum that the response model between smelting condition (temperature, holding time) and hydrogen content may be established.
摘要:Al Ti C grain refiner was prepared by adding graphite powder in Al Ti alloy. The microstructure of Al Ti C alloy was observed by means of TEM,SEM and phase constituents of the refiner was detected by X ray. The results showed that TiC particle was firstly generated below 1 273 K and then transformed into Al 4C 3 with prolonging holding time while Al 4C 3 would be decomposed into TiC again over 1 573 K.

摘要:The effects of Zn on the solidification behavior, especially hot tear susceptility of Mg 9Al were examined. The solidification characteristics of the alloy were examined by thermal analysis. Crack rings sample was applied to estimate the hot tear susceptility of the alloy with introduction of the HSC(hot tear susceptility coefficient) concept. The solidification and hot tear behavior of the alloy were studied by optical microscopy, SEM and probe. The results showed that Zn and Al enriched in grain boundary due to the intercrystalline segregation during solidification process were increased with Zn addition to enhance the phase formation with low melting point and in turn to enhance the hot tear susceptility of the alloy. The hot tear originates at the later period solidification and propagates along grain boundary for Mg 9Al x Zn alloy. Zn addition can refine the grain of the Mg 9Al.

摘要:Macro shrinkage and microstructure of TiAl alloy shaft casting were studied. The results showed that the solidification macro shrinkage rate varied as a function of with melt temperature s(%)=74.209 6-0.09 458 t +3.06 575×10 -5 t 2 and there are noticeable micro shrinkage in casting structure with pouring temperature ranging from 1 595 to 1 685 ℃ for TiAl alloy. Influence of three varities of casting processes on shrinkage distribution in TiAl alloy shaft castings was examined. The results showed that shrinkage porosity was distributed along axial line in gravity casting while volume shrinkage value decreased and porosity distribution deviated from the axial line in centrifugal casting, resulting in bending and rejecting the shaft casting during heat isotropic pressing(HIP). The filling process of the shaft casting in centrifugal casting was simulated with wax. The results showed that at begining the front, and then the bact were filled through refluence in arbitrary cross section of the shaft casting during filling, resulting in axially asymmetrical distribution during solidification process in a cross section. The finally solidified part would be far from the axial line with deviation of the back. The serious deviation and the maximum deformation at intake place after HIP. It is proposed to alleviate asymmetrical distribution of the porosity for the shaft casting.

摘要:We have developed a equipment for directly rolling widely used spring steel(60Si2Mn) in semi solid sate in order to examine the rheological behavior and regulation and to grope directly rolling forming technology available for semi solid steel. The results showed that plastic deformation behavior of the solid phases differed from that of liquid phase during rolling, resulting in the difference of microstructure and properties between the center and the outer side of rolled product. Most of solid phase concentrates in the center while liquid phase flows toward the outer side. Plastic deformation rate of solid phase particulate increases with the increase of the solid fraction. Micro crack in surface of the rolled product attributes to either lower liquid phase fraction or higher deformation rate in the semi solid slurry or larger thermal differential between surface of the roller and the rolled product.

摘要:A preformed Ti C Fe piece was immersed into liquid steel to in situ synthesize desirable TiC reinforced particulate. Afterwards, the melt containing TiC particulate was poured to prepare TiC particulate reinforced steel matrix composite. Influence of temperature and holding time of the steel melt and volume fraction of the synthesized particulate on the microstructure of the composites were examined emphatically. The composites with desirable microstructure were successfully prepared by optimizing above processing variables.
摘要:Model of 3 D flow field of crystallizer for beam blank was developed based on turbulent theory and characteristics of continuous casting. The model was applied to analyze flow field distributions with various nozzle and processing variables. It is found that the factors affecting the fluid flow of liquid steel in crystallizer are nozzle obliquity, immersing depth and drawing velocity. The results showed that it is beneficial to remove the inclusion at +15 ℃nozzle obliquity and to uniform flow field distribution at 0.9m/s drawing velocity. Proper nozzle depth is 200 mm. The model can be used to conduct off line analysis and to determine optimum variables as well as to lay the base of on line controlling model in continuous casting process.

摘要:Model that describes the flow and heat transfer in the crystallizer during inverse solidification was developed based on continuum equation. The variety of strip thickness in the crystallizer during inverse solidification was calculated by finite differential method. Strip thickness increases rapidly in initial stage, then keeps constant in middle stage, and finally rapid decreases due to remelting in last stage with the increase of holding time of the strip in liquid steel. Lower strip drawing velocity has slightly effect on the whole flow field due to the same flow of liquid steel tightly close to strip while local or the whole flow field changes with either higher or varying in drawing velocity. The calculated results illustrated that numerical simulation calculated data are well agreement with the experimental data.

摘要:Molding shell should meet the higher requirements in the investment casting used for large and precision casting. The use of alcoholic ethyl silicate would be restricted and the silica sol would be more and more extensive because of the more strict environmental protection requirement. The proper selection of refractory materials and binders, the proper control of ratio of powder and liquid and viscosity of coating will raise the performance of molding shell greatly. The inspection ways for performance of molding shell were introduced.
摘要:Die casting is a complicated process effected by numerous factors. A single method for quality control used not to achieve desired effect. The comprehensive diagnosis for diecasting defects,e.g. in aluminum time gear case and varying technological process are carried out with the combination of statistic, physico chemical analysis as well as technical simulation to determine character, regulation and reason for defect formation. On this basis, quality of the diecastings was improved remarkably through corresponding amelioration and optimization of casting process for the whole die casting. The results showed that the above mentioned comprehensive methods effectively provided the evidence for diecasting defect analysis and quality control.
摘要:Effects of extrusion pressure on the growth rate of macro\|crystal in extruded casting were investigated.The mathematical expression for the growth rate of crystal was developed.It is found that besides the alloy composition,under some particular extruded conditions,the extrusion pressure resulted in refining macro\|grain when increase in nucleation rate exceeds growth rate and vice versa.The refined dendrite is responsible for the decrease in distance between both of the first dendrite and secondary dendrite during quickening alloy solidified rate with the increase of the extrusion pressure.
摘要:The thermal decomposition behaviors of aluminum titanate ceramic prepared with various stabilization additives at reducing atmosphere at 850 ℃(aluminum melt) were studied by means of XRD. The thermal decomposition rate of the aluminum titanate ceramic prepared with Y 2O 3+MgO as stabilization additive was only 4.3% in aluminum melt at 850 ℃ for 500 hours. The aluminum melt feeding pipe prepared with ceramic materials can be well operated at 700~900 ℃ for 60 days in low pressure die casting.
