摘要:A 3-D coupled model for turbulent fluid flow,heat transfer and solute transport has been established to analyze the effects of drawing velocity on turbulent fluid flow,temperature field and evolution of macrosegregation in continuous casting thin slab.The calculated results show that increasing in drawing velocity can dramatically improve the turbulent fluid flow of liquid steel and change the shape of the temperature field and distribution of solute concentration in the mould.Increase of the drawing velocity can accelerate the flow speed on the top surface of the liquid steel and result in the fluctuation on the meniscus,increasing the impacting energy of jet to narrow wall to thin the solidified skin,and decreasing macrosegregation of solute in the thin slab.

摘要:Effects of Cu and Ni on glass forming ability and thermal stability of Fe-(Al,Ga)-(P,C,Si,B) alloys were investigated by XRD and DSC.The Fe-based alloy can retain amorphous alloy morphology with less than 2% Cu addition (atom percentage).Al/Cu ratio is a significant factor influencing glass forming ability of the alloy due to the complex action between Fe-Cu and Cu-Al compound.It is beneficial to improving the glass forming ability and thermal stability of the alloy with Ni addition of less than 4%(atom percentage).
摘要:Several kinds of grain refinement processes for Mg-Al series alloy were surveyed.Effects of C2Cl6 on the composition,density,microstructure and mechanical properties of the AM60 alloy were investigated by XRF spectrometer,optical microscope,Brinell hardness tester,electronic balance and MTS material testing machine etc.The results show that C2Cl6 has good effects on grain refinement,greatly improving the mechanical properties of the AM60 alloy castings.Compared with those of the alloy free C2Cl6,the grain size of as-cast AM60 alloy with the optimum addition of 1% C2Cl6 can be decreased from 250 μm to 70 μm,and tensile strength is 237 MPa and elongation is 18.9%, increased by 11.3% and 65.8%,respectively.Furthermore,the mechanisms of grain refinement and strengthening of Mg-Al series alloy with C2Cl6 were approached.
摘要:Micro-hardness and electric conductivities of Cu-0.43Cr-0.058Zr-0.031Y and Cu-0.20Cr-0.066Zr-0.060Y alloys treated by solid solution at 900~980 ℃ were measured,and microstructures of these solid solution alloys were observed.The results show that Cu-0.43Cr-0.058Zr-0.031Y alloy can be treated by solid solution at 960 ℃ while Cu-0.20Cr-0.066Zr- 0.060Y alloy only treated within 920 ℃.The comparison of electric conductivity and micro-hardness between the two solid solution treatment alloys after ageing at 400~520 ℃ reveals that the electric conductivity of Cu-0.43Cr-0.058Zr-0.031Y alloy is lower than that of Cu-0.20Cr-0.066Zr-0.060Y alloy after ageing at 400 ℃ while ageing at 480 ℃,Cr content can be ignored in effects on electric conductivity of two kinds of alloys.The hardness of Cu-0.43Cr-0.058Zr-0.031Y alloy is obviously lower than that of the Cu-0.20Cr-0.066Zr-0.060Y alloy regardless of ageing at 400 ℃ or 480 ℃.

摘要:Physical simulation of melt flow in a mould in continuous casting steel slab was conducted by the digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) system.Primary character of melt flow in the mould was described by analyzing the flow field.The effects of the submerged nozzle,immersion depth and drawing velocity on the flow field in the mould were investigated.The velocity vector,streamline and various equivalent cloud chart were calculated and analyzed by a commercial software TECPLOT to understand the flow change of liquid metal to control the flow and nozzle structure,improving the microstructure and properties of continuous casting steel slab.The results show that compared by nozzle with 15°,the tendency of flow-up of liquid metal at top of mould is more intense and impacting depth is lower for nozzle with 0°.With increase of submerging depth and decrease of flow velocity,inverse-flow range of up-moving of liquid metal is more broad,which results in the descending of eddy position.The liquid surface height should be controlled to be more than 100 mm.With the increase of drawing velocity,companying with increasing in flow velocity in the mould,surface-free becomes more and unstable,and impacting energy on narrow side is enhanced.

摘要:The volume shrinkage of semi-solid melt in a rheological forming process arises from a sum of such three parts as liquid,solid and solidification contract,which is controlled by the contract coefficient of every parts and solid fraction in semi-solid melt.The formation mechanism of shrinkage porosity in semi-solid melt is that contract can not be feed due to completely closing the liquid by solid phase to form discretely shrinkage porosity rather than centralized ones.The mechanism of feeding of the discrete porosity is solid rheological deformation,in which the feeding is carried out by wholly compression of the semi-solid alloy in directional pressing rheological forming process,while the feeding is carried out by the inflation of the alloy melt in an indirectional pressing forming process.In order to prevent the shrinkage porosity,three basic conditions are necessary and shown in mathematical equations: the first is that the pressure acted on the melt is larger than that by the deformation stress resistant,and the second is that holding time of the pressure is larger than that by the solidification,and the third is that pressing velocity is larger than the volume contraction velocity.

摘要:Effects of different holding temperatures on microstrucural evolution of AlSi7Mg alloy in permanent mold were observed.Morphology evolution of primary α phase in the alloy was observed by holding at 600~650 ℃ for 30 min.The results show that,while holding at 605~650 ℃,with decreasing in holding temperature,the primary α phase is gradually converted from developed dendrite into the rosette dendrite and then into particle crystal.Fine and uniform distributed particle phase in the alloy can be formed by holding at 605 ℃ for 30min.Furthermore,the primary α phase can be involved into rosette crystal.In addition,the primary α phase is converted from irregular dendrite to uniform equaixed particle crystal then to rosette structure at 605 ℃ with holding time from 10 min to 60 min.

摘要:The formation of thin-walled in cast iron pipe in lost foam casting was analyzed.The positions of defects were formed mainly in the last solidification location,which results from the inadequate pouring of liquid metal and badly exhaustion of decomposition of the pattern.The thin-walled defects can be eliminated by improving the fire-resistance of refractory materials,choosing large size silicon sand and controlling the pouring velocity.The results show that the production rate is greatly increased,and the pipe grade is improved.

摘要:In-situ β phase/Zr56.2Ti13.8Nb5.0Cu6.9Ni5.6Be12.5 BMG (bulk metallic glass composites )composites were prepared by low pressure casting combining with water-cooling copper mould and by the melt water-quenching method,respectively.The microstructure and ambient compressive properties of the composites were investigated.It is revealed that the microstructure characteristics of the composites,including the volume fraction,morphology and size of β phase,sensitively depends on the processing conditions.Lower cooling rate can result in the formation of more and coarser β phase,in which different preparation methods,sample shapes and size can lead to different cooling rate.Ambient compressive properties of the composites are controlled by microstructural characteristics,where more and coarser β phase can significantly improve the macro-plasticity of the composites.
