摘要:WE54 magnesium alloy (Mg-5.4Y-2.3Nd- 1.6 Gd-0.5Zr) exhibits distinct differences in microstructure, micro-area chemical compositions and mechanical properties treated in the different states including as-cast, solid solution (T4) and solid solution-artificial aging (T6). The microstructure, precipitated phase and micro-area chemical composition of WE54 alloy have been analyzed by means of optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results reveal that in as-cast WE54 alloy, two kinds of new phases Mg12 Nd and Mg24 Y5 with netlike structure are precipitated along the grain boundaries, and the heavy Re element Gd is dissolved into Mg matrix completely, and no precipitated phase containing Gd can be observed in the internal of grains or on the grain boundary. After treated by solid solution, the bulky precipitated phase distributed along the grain boundary in as-cast Mg alloy can be completely dissolved into Mg matrix, which promotes the improvement of the mechanical properties. After treated by solid solution-artificial aging (T6), a large number of fine rare earth-rich precipitated phase is formed in the alloy. The lamellar precipitated phase is confirmed through analyzing the characteristics of precipitated phase in the sample in cross direction and longitudinal direction. The arrangement of these lamellar precipitated phases extends along three directions with mutual fixed angle of 120°, showing stricter orientation, which leads to the improvement of the strength and the decrease of the elongation of the WE54 alloy.

摘要:Crystallization kinetics of mischmetal-based bulk metallic glasses MM55 Al25 Cu10 Ni5Co5 has been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results indicate that the crystallization behavior of the metallic glasses exhibit obvious kinetic effects. The local activation energy is rapidly increased to a peak value firstly, and then is gradually decreased with increasing in crystallized volume fraction, which is typical nucleation and growth mechanism, where nucleation is completed instantaneous and growth is dominant in crystallization. The apparent activation energies of the MM-based metallic glasses are superior to those of the La55 Al25 Cu10 Ni5Co5 metallic glasses, showing higher thermal stability. Local Avrami exponents are calculated to be in the range of 3.22 to 5.23, which is a 3D nucleation and growth process. Crystallization transformation behavior is dependent on crystallized volume fraction and crystallized temperature.
摘要:An in-situ observation instrument for crystal growth was developed, which was composed of a sandwich-like crystal growth cell, circulation system of hot water and a light path based on flowing visualization method designed to match the crystal growth cell. The morphological transformation from dendrite to cells has been demonstrated by in-situ observing the growth process of SCN analogue alloy in rapid solidification with different temperature gradients. It is found that the tip splitting of the dendrite can result in the coalesce of side-dendrite and the sharp decrease of first arm spacing. The theoretical approach to evolving mechanism of the tip splitting is conducted also.

The calculated results are well in agreement with measured ones.
摘要:Improvement of temperature-measuring and slag-combing for smelting process in main frequency furnace is conducted based on practical production. Temperature of the liquid steel and whether the slag exists in the surface can be identified through analyzing the surface image during smelting processing based on the digital image treatment technique. The terminus of melting process is determined by controlling robots to comb slag and by controlling input power of the main frequency furnace to realize the temperature-increasing and holding of the liquid steel. The application of the system can greatly improve the automatic level of smelting process.
摘要:Using the macro-microcosmic coupling method, a combinative macro-microcosmic model (direct difference-cellular automaton model, that is CA-DD model) has been established to simulate effects of various processing parameters on the shape of solid-liquid interface and crystal competitive growth of pure Cu in heated mould continuous casting. The results show that with the increase of drawing velocity, the position of solid-liquid interface moves from the inner to the outer of the mould, and the competition of crystal is wore off. Mould temperature has the obvious effects on the competitive growth of the crystal.

摘要:Die casting-forging processing has integrated the advantages of die casting with forging, which not only can control the shape and dimension, but also can greatly improve the strength due to the elimination of gas-hole and porosity in die castings arising from the plastic deformation in forging. In addition, the strength of die casting-forging parts can be increased by heat treatment. The die casting-forging processing is suitable for producing automobile parts with complicated shape and high strength as well as other structure components. The die casting-forging method and the properties of the parts have been introduced.

摘要:In order to solve the problems in gracile conical tube casting requiring overlong core-pulling distance and difficult mould-release, a die casting die with a special core-pulling mechanism has been designed. Pin-floating slider mechanism were adopted in the die, which can make the floating slider not only move along the drawing-core direction but also float along the pulling direction. Firstly, pin-floating slider mechanism performed short-distance drawing-core, and then the pulling-mechanism drives the slider and core along pulling castings direction to pull out the castings from the moving container, which greatly reduce mould-opening distance and production cost, and can improve product efficiency. The die can successfully produce the castings with no mark and high quality defects. The processing characteristics of tube was analyzed, and the structure design and operation of die casting die were approached in detail.

摘要:Effects of mechanical vibration on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91D magnesium alloy in lost foam casting have been investigated, and its vibration refinement mechanism is understood. The results show that mechanical vibration can significantly refine the as-cast microstructure of the AZ91D magnesium alloy to improve the mechanical properties. The maximum tensile strength can be obtained with the vibrated force of 1.5 kN. With the further increase of the vibrated force, the tensile strength of the Mg alloy can be somewhat decreased arising from the formation of micro-porosity in the microstructure.

摘要:A high-density fine-grain P/M titanium alloy of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo was prepared by mechanical alloying and vacuum sintering process. Effects of ball-milling time and sintering temperature on density and microstructure of the P/M titanium alloy have been investigated. The experimental observation shows that with increasing in ball-milling time, the density of Ti alloy is increased and its microstructure is converted from primary α phase and needle-like β phase into fine equiaxed α+β phase, in which the grain size is decreased gradually. The relative density of sintered materials with average grain size of only 2 μm reaches 99.1% with ball-milling time of 40 h and sintering at 1 200 ℃.

摘要:The changes in button ingot mass of pure Ti, pure Al, TiAl binary alloy and TiAl-Nb ternary alloy after PAM have been observed with the same vacuum degrees. The observation reveals that while the mass loss of pure Ti is great at the first melt and then the mass tends to be unchanged, the change in mass of pure Al is decreased with increasing remelting times after PAM, which demonstrates that the evaporation of Al is mainly responsible for the mass loss of the alloy during PAM. The mass loss of Al in the alloys is slightly higher than that of other elements due to the higher superheat degree of Al element with melting binary TiAl alloy and TiAl-Nb ternary alloy at the same parameters, in which the mass loss of the Al increase with increasing the remelting times and Al content. The mass losses of TiAlNb alloy prepared with different raw materials (pure Nb strip or Nb-Al master alloy) are different, where the mass losses of the ternary alloy prepared with pure Nb is higher than that of one prepared with Nb-Al master alloy. The mass of the TiAlNb alloy would tend to be stable after 6 remeltings, whose relative mass loss is only 0.33%, lower than that of Al in other remelting methods.
摘要:Effects of C2Cl6 on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy have been investigated by optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the grain size and grain area have been measured using the Imagetool Software. The results show that 0.3%0.8% C2Cl6 addition in the AZ91 magnesium alloy can obviously refine the grain average size of α-phase from 106 μm to about 53 μm and decrease the grain area, where the best refined effects can be observed with 0.3% C2Cl6 addition. In addition, C2Cl6 addition can result in the dispersive distribution of fine β-Mg17 Al12 phase, which can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the alloy.
