摘要:Microstructure of water quenched as-cast MgY5Mn1Sc0.3 magnesium alloy and its microsructural evolution after solid solution at 520 ℃with different holding times were observed by OP(optical microscope), SEM and XRD. The results show that the as-cast microstructure is composed of coarse grain, where amounts of plait-like twins crystal and linear-array particle phase occur, and the absence of dendrite and eutectic phase within grain and boundary is observed, meanwhile the Y element is severely segregated to enrich the second particle phase. After solid solution treatment, there occurs the microstructure evolution and recrystallization evolving spheroidization of grain, dissolution and congregation of dispersive phase, and the transformation of the grain. The effects of heat treatment on the experimental alloy were investigated by measuring the hardness HV100.
摘要:The CuCr alloy was prepared by the SHS electromagnetic casting using CuO and Cr2O3 as materials and Al powder as reducing agent. The effect mechanism of the electromagnetic stirring on the microstructure of CuCr alloy was analyzed. The calculated results show that the cooling process is the fast cooling of Newton Cooling. Electromagnetic stirring can improve the properties of the CuCr alloy by effectively inhibiting the growth of dendrite to refine grain size and homogenize the distribution of Cu and Cr in the alloy. The optimized stirring time is about 7 min because grain can not be effectively refined stirring time in excessively shorter, and in turn, it is easily generated composition segregation, choosing preheated temperature of cast mold for 500 ℃. Although Ni, Co can improve the dispersity and homogeneity of Cu and Cr in the alloy , it can result in coarsening grain size.
摘要:Formation characteristics, aperture configuration and dynamic change of gas hole in the early stages of foamed aluminum were investigated based on preparation of foamed aluminum by a new powder metallurgy method with immersing preformer and heating up rapidly. The results show that foaming process is characterized by micro-propagation to macro-propagation to collapse. The formation mechanism of micro-propagation of crack-gas-hole depends on the stress from H2 decomposed from TiH2, characterized by transverse crack in propagation direction and distributed within solid phase. Macro-propagation is attributed to the crack propagation and growth resulting from continuous decomposition of TiH2. The new method can reduce the heating time from 10 min to 30150 s, which effectively increase the dynamic mechanism of homogeneous foaming and improve the utilization ratio of TiH2.
摘要:Spinning spraying processing used for degassing treatment of AZ91D Mg alloy was researched. Pressure-reduction solidification is used to assess the efficiency of the degassing process and the optimal degassing time is determined. The mechanical properties and the microstructure of the alloy samples before and after degassing treatment in metal mold casting and in low pressure sand casting were studied,respectively. The results show that the tensile strength of the alloy samples treated by spinning spraying for 30 min can be considerably improved both in metal mold casting and in low pressure sand casting, particularly sharply improved in elongation. Based on the experimental results, it is concluded that the spinning spraying can rapidly and obviously reduce the gas content in Mg alloy, improving the mechanical properties, which is a desirable processing for refining Mg alloy melt.
摘要:Effects of pulsed electric current with main frequency and low voltage on solidification structure of pure aluminum were investigated by the adjustment of peak intensity and frequency of pulsed current. The results reveal that the pulsed current with main frequency and low voltage can convert column crystal into equiaxed crystal in solidification of pure aluminum ranging in 5006 000 A of current peak value and 1001 000 Hz of frequency. With the increase of current peak value and frequency, equiaxed crystal is remarkably refined and its area is broadened.
摘要:Effects of Si-Ca alloy on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6Al-0.5Mn alloys were studied by observing the microstructure and phase composition of the alloys using OM, SEM, EDS and XRD. The results show that dispersively distributed regular polygonal Mg2Si particles can be formed in AM60 Mg alloy with proper Si-Ca addition. The microstructure of the AM60 Mg alloy can be improved, where semi-continuous net Mg17 Al12 phase becomes fine and dispersive and the grain size can be refined obviously with the increase of the Si-Ca addition, and grain size is decreased by 80 μm from 180 μm. Improvement of mechanical properties of the alloy is contributed to the formation of the enhancing phase and refinement of the microstructure, where tensile strength, elongation, and impacting toughness are increased by 13.9%, 28.5% and 100%, respectively, with 1.8% Si content. It is also found that not only CaSi2 can be acted as heterogeneous nucleation site for primary Mg2Si, but also Al8Mn3 can do it.

摘要:In order to effectively improve the accuracy of the numerical simulation, a new model for interfacial heat transfer coefficients (IHTC) is parameterized and modified. Based on this continuous IHTC model of three-step evolution, a new inverse method is proposed to evaluate IHTCs by combining the FEM numerical simulation with optimization calculation and measured temperature data dependent on position according to the nonuniformity air gap in the horizontal continuous casting. The numerical simulations of Sn-5Pb and Sn-15Pb alloys were conducted by the model. The results show that the simulated temperature is well in agreement with the measured temperature from three positions, and the maximum deviation is less than 5%.

摘要:Based on the control-volume method, a 3-D coupled model has been developed for binary iron-carbon alloy to describe the turbulent fluid flow, heat transfer, solidification, and solute redistribution in the thin slab in continuous casting. Calculated results show that the turbulent fluid flow intensively alters the shapes of temperature field and the solute distribution in thin slab. The impact of flow jet from immersed nozzle on broad face of the thin slab is responsible for un-even distribution of solidified shell thickness along broad face. The formation mechanism and potential position of macro-segregation are analyzed.

摘要:Effects of inclined angle on semi-solid microstructure of hypoeutectic high Cr cast iron prepared by inclined plate cooling method were investigated. The results show that the bigger or smaller inclined angle can cause the occurrence of coarse primary austenite crystal with low spheroidalization. Coarse primary austenite phase in dendrite is attributed to slower flow velocity of the liquid metal resulting in the full growth of primary phase companying with low scouring, impacting and shearing between dendrite and dendrite or dendrite and liquid metal with low inclined angle, while with high inclined angle, coarse dendrite austenite occurs due to faster flow velocity resulting in shortening flow time on inclined plate and shortening acting time of scouring, impacting and shearing in dendrites and between dendrite and liquid metal. Primary austenite phase in prepared hypoeutectic high Cr cast iron possesses the finest grain size and best speroidalization with inclined angle of 45°.

摘要:Rheologic filling of semi-solid alloy melt is defined as a process in which the semi-solid slurry poured into a die chamber is pressed into a mold cavity through a filling system including three basic units such as sprue, runner and ingate by means of the rheologic properties of semi-solid alloys. The filling process is composed of active rheology and passive rheology, possibly forming uniform filling and discretely filling. The discretely filling phenomen were observed with the pressure Pm in cavity more than cohesive force τ acted on the solid. Maximum filling length is dependent on cooling capacity of mould, microstructure and reheology of semi-solid slurry through theoretical analysis of origination of rheologic filling resistance and quantitative calculation equation. The evaluation equation for maximum filling length in gyroidal mold was given.

摘要:Effects of Ag addition on the wettability on the copper surface, shear strength of solder joints, creep strength and microstructure of Sn-9Zn lead-free solder alloys have been investigated experimentally. The results show that lower Ag addition can improve the wettability and shearing strength of solder joints of Sn-9Zn alloy melt on the Cu surface while higher Ag addition can be inferior to them. There exists an optimum Ag content ranging from 0.3 % to 0.6% for wettability and shearing strength of solder joints. The creep strength of Sn-9Zn solder alloys can be increased by the addition of Ag, which may be attributed to the micrometer-sized dispersed Ag-Zn particles formed in the bulk of Sn-9Zn-xAg solder alloy.
