摘要:Effects of trace Er addition on the mechanical properties, microstructure, age-hardening characteristics and recrystallization behavior of the high strength Al-6Zn-2Mg alloy have been investigated by tensile property measurement, optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy spectrum analysis (EDS). The results show that Er can greatly refine the grain size of the alloy, which is attributed to primary Al3Er as heterogeneous substrate to sharply improve nuclei rate. Tensile strength of the alloy has been significantly improved with Er addition as a result of fine grain strengthening and precipitated strengthening. Meanwhile, Er addition can improve age-hardening effects by accelerating ageing process of the alloy. In addition, Er can inhibit the recrystallization of the alloy and raise the recrystallized temperature, resulting from the pinning effects of the secondary fine Al3Er phase on dislocation and sub-boundary.
摘要:Effects of vacuum smelting-casting on the composition, microstructure and properties of the Cu-Cr-Zr-Mg alloy have been investigated to optimize the vacuum smelting-casting process, such as processing parameters, pre-treatment of cast mould. The results indicate that smelting temperature for the alloy should be controlled below 1 480 ℃, or else the alloy melt would react with the crucible matrix to result in the introduction of elements in crucible into the alloy. The burning-loss rate of elements in the alloy can be greatly decreased and the alloy composition can be accurately controlled by the vacuum smelting process. In addition, if pouring temperature is higher than 1 400 ℃, some defects, such as density-reduction, gas hole increase, coarse grain, segregation of the dendrite, deep porosity hole, are easily formed in the alloys.
摘要:A new welding method of bi-friction stirring welding has been proposed. Microstructure and hardness of 6K32-T4 aluminum alloy joint in friction stirring welding (FSW) and in bi-friction stirring welding (Bi-FSW) have been compared, meanwhile the joint in Bi-FSW has been observed by XRD. The results show that microstructure distribution of the joint in Bi-FSW is identified with that of in FSW. However, the hardness in Bi-FSW is slightly lower than that in FSW, in which the declined area of the hardness in bi-FSW is larger than that of in FSW. Change of the phase constituent of the joint after bi-FSW is not observed. Using bi-FSW instead of FSW is beneficial to improving the welding efficiency and to eliminating tunnel-like joint defects due to higher linear energy, improving properties of the joint.

The results show that the deformation of the castings is decreased with decreasing in shake-out temperature. Meanwhile, although shake-out temperature slightly affected the residual stress, it greatly affected the variation tendency of the stress value during solidification processing, where the lower the shake-out temperature is, the higher the stress during shake-out is.

摘要:Computer simulation was employed to optimize filling system to predict filling process and prevent the defects for Al alloy automotive parts in semi-solid die casting. By comparing formed appearance of parts in experiments and that in simulation, and observing the relationship between internal defects inspected by X-ray and flow field obtained in simulation, it is indicated that the calculated results are well in agreement with experimental ones. The computer simulation can accurately predict the possible casting defects during filling process to propose improved measures. The realization of numerical visualization for filling process of high speed during semi-solid die casting process can play an important role in optimizing technology plan and process.

摘要:Semi-solid casting-rolling for magnesium alloy has been conducted on a self-developed semi-solid casting-roller. The results show that the casting-rolling has greatly affected the microstructure of the semi-solid magnesium alloy. Primary phase in the semi-solid magnesium alloy is converted into spheroidized structure from irregular dendrite structure after casting-rolling. The spheroidized role of casting-rolling process is possible attributed to eliminating sharp angle by friction and flow between solid state and liquid state or coalescence of rotation and collapse of solid particle. In addition, microstructures of the semi-solid casting-rolling exhibits different characteristics at different processing conditions in surface and heart. The microstructure of thick plate is characterized by chilling fine equiaxed area on surface and semi-solid structure in heart while for thin plate, it is characterized by uniformly distributed structure.
摘要:45 steel valve body in extruded casting was adopted in designing combined mould, in which core and punch adopts H13 tool steel, and sleeve and poisoned structure uses 45# steel or 40Cr steel. And special extruded machine with maximum extruded force of 1 500 kN and closed forces of 2 000 kN is used with punch velocity of 0.300.35 m/s. Drawing-mould declination is 2°,2°and 0.5°for up-punch, down-punch and side-punch, respectively. And the down-punch directly pushes the castings for pushing ways, where fit clearance between punch and the mould is 0.160.2 mm. The position of the die subjected to higher thermal stress has been cooled by tube-cooling combining with inserted-pipe cooling. Four overflow slots on cross-position of parting surface have been set to ensure the accuracy of the casting in height direction. To improve fusion-resistant ability of the die, the coating with thickness of 0.20.5 mm using self-developed siliceous earth coating is conducted.

摘要:Effects of processing parameters, including the pouring temperature, the die temperature, the ingate velocity, on tensile strength and grain size of die casting Mg alloy AZ91 HP have been investigated. The results show that with the increase of the pouring temperature and ingate filling velocity, the tensile strength is increased firstly and then decreased, while grain size is decreased firstly and then increased. However, with increasing in die temperature, tensile strength of the castings is improved and grain size is decreased. The tensile strength of 224.2 MPa and density of 1.77 g/cm3 of the samples with grain size of 14.4 μm can be observed at the pouring temperature of 680 ℃ and die temperature of 215 ℃ and ingate velocity of 70 m/s. Finally, an empiric formula between the grain size and tensile strength is established through linear regression.
摘要:It is one of the difficulties in the die-casting design for the design of the lateral core-pulling with long distance core-pulling and great closed forces, so the secondary core-pulling mechanism with angle pin, rack and gear has been used to solve the problems.

The mould structure has been designed, and the working principle has been discussed. The technical parameters as well as practical problems in the mould have been given.

摘要:TiO2 film is formed to clad the surface of the Cu powder by hydrolyzing sol-gel process for improving the oxidation resistance of copper powders. Effects of various water, acid and sol-gel quantity on cladding effects are investigated by measuring transmissivity rate away from 760 nm of the solution under the condition of eroding the samples in 5% H2SO4 solution for four hours. The results show that the transimissivity rate of the coat samples at 760 nm is more than 80% with 1 to 2 of Ti(OBu)4 and H2O, 0.32 mol/L of H+ content and 4%6% TiO2 sol, while that of initial samples is 15%.SEM, EDS, XPS and XRD are employed to characterize the coated samples. XPS analysis shows that the main elements in the surface of the coated copper podwders are Ti, Sn, C, O and Cu, in which Ti and Sn are in the state of Ti+4 and Sn+2 , respectively. The XRD analysis for coated copper powder and initial samples after 60 day in air indicates that the advents of Cu2O in surface of the initial samples are observed, while only Cu can be observed in the coated samples.
摘要:Current-carrier friction-wear behavior and microstructure of Al2O3/Cu composites prepared by internal oxidation were investigated. The results show that nano-Al2O3 particle can be dispersively distributed into the Cu matrix. The wear resistance of the composites is greatly superior to that of the Cr-brass alloy in case of current carrier. The wear morphology is characterized by abrasive wear and adhesion wear with low current while it is characterized by adhesion with high current. Current has obviously affected on wear rate compared with loading.
