摘要:Effects of power ultrasonic on microstructure and macro-structure of A356 alloy specimens were observed by treating Al melt with three kinds of power ultrasonic, and the mechanism was described. The results reveal that with the increase of power, the grain size is greatly refined as a result of fully broken of dendrite in the alloy melt, leading to the more compact structure in the alloy melt and the more smooth of the Al alloy specimens.

摘要:AZ61 magnesium alloy wire with the diameters of 10 mm was fabricated by means of self-designed continuous rheo-extrusion equipment. Microstructure of the alloy can gradually be evolved from dendrites at the pouring entrance to the fine broken crystal, and to equiaxed and spherical grains at the extrusion zone due to the actions of kneading and shearing by the roll resulting in the sheared broken dendritic arm. During the extrusion forming process, solid phase structure in the central location has a slight deformation, while it has an evident deformation in the outside, and the ultra-fine grain structure can be generated in the meniscus. Prepared AZ61 magnesium alloy wire has desirable sectional microstructure, characterized by two-phase plastic flow with rational processing parameters.

The fracture mechanism and origination of the magnesium alloy were described by observing fracture morphology. The results show that proper RE containing Ce addition has the positive effect on the improvement of high-cycle fatigue behavior of the AZ91D magnesium alloy, exhibiting desirable effects with 1% RE containing Ce addition.
摘要:The effects of gravity convection perpendicular to growing surface on dendritic morphology growth of model alloy SCN-5% ethanol have been observed by a self-developed experimental apparatus, which has a growth room and an observation system. The results indicate that, compared with those in condition of the absence of gravity convection, the primary arm spacing can be increased and tip radius can be reduced with the increase of growth speed. Gravity convection can result in the rapid growth and more development of the second arm spacing at facing-flow side. The down-stream alternation of dendritic tip growth is attributed to the co-action of the Stokes force and gravity in the flow field.

摘要:Effects of shake-out time and heat treatment on microstructure and properties of Cr28 cast iron after poured have been investigated. The results indicate that although the hardness and impact toughness of the Cr28 cast iron can be decreased with increasing cooling time in the sand mold, the Cr28 cast iron exhibits higher hardness and impact toughness with air cooling after cooling for 3 h in sand mold. The hardness and impact toughness of the cast iron are more than 56 and 4.5 J, respectively. The microstructure of Cr28 cast iron with varied shake-out time at air cooling is composed of martensite, residual austenite and different shape M7C3 carbide. The Cr28 cast iron can be improved by more than 60 in hardness and more than 2.8J in impact toughness after normalizing at 1040℃ and tempering at 100 ℃ with different shake-out time at air cooling.

摘要:Effects of various cooling rates on solidification of the ZL114A alloy were investigated by experimentally analyzing multi-step ZL114A samples in low pressure casting. A nucleation model was established on the basis of experimental data, in which the thermal-kinetics parameters were provided. The results show that with the increase of cooling rate,all the liquidus temperature,nucleation temperarure and eutectic transformation temperature are decreased. A modified Cellar Automaton model coupled with FDM(finite differential method) was used to simulate the macro-solidification and microstructure evolution of the alloy. The microstructure at different positions of the engine for aerospace was predicted by the model, which was verified by the experimental value.
摘要:The volumetric principle of solid materials in plastic processing is no longer suitable for non-solid material processing. The volume of cavity and materials itself be contracted due to the cooling of materials itself, solidification as well as the distortion of the mold and the core under high temperature and high pressure in the non-solid forming processing such as liquid or semi-solid, the volume of cavity and materials itself after and before forming are varied apparently, which is called the phenomenon of inequality-volume of non-solid processing. In order to obtain the compact product, it is required that the volume of the materials after forming should be smaller than the volume of material poured into the cavity before processing, whose differential value is the potential compression volume of the materials so as to be compressed during processing. In other words, it is required that the initial volume of the cavity must be bigger than the volume of the metal occupied after forming, whose differential value is the sum of the squeezing volume of the extruded core and the exerted volume of the plunger, which is called the principle of inequality-volume of non-solid processing.

摘要:The formation mechanism of micro-porosity in aluminum alloy castings and the numerical models for predicting micro-porosity have been surveyed. The numerical models were categorized into four types, such as criteria function, Darcy’s law coupled with the conservation and continuity equation, hydrogen-diffusion-controlled pore growth models, microstructure coupled with pore models, based on the studied literatures. The advantages and limitation of each type of the models were described. Finally, the future development of advanced microporosity prediction models was expounded.
摘要:Semi-solid slurry of A356 alloy was prepared by a self-developed cooling slope method. The key processing parameters on the formation and evolution of non-dendritic microstructure in the semi-solid slurry were analyzed through observing the structure in the ingot prepared by the method. The results show that the optimized inclined angle is controlled at the 4060°with pouring at 620660℃. In addition, in the condition of water cooling, the desirable microstructure can be created in the slurry with applying different slope lengths at varied pouring temperatures. A given pouring length is beneficial to forming near spheroidal structure with pouring at low temperature. Meanwhile, the microstructure of the ingot can be evolved from dendrites into fine spheroid grain during cooling slope.
摘要:The microstructure and thermal plasticity of the semi-solid M2 high speed steel billets prepared by cooling slope method have been investigated. The results indicate that the microstructure and thermal plasticity of the high speed steel billet can be effectively improved by the semi-solid processing as a result of the elimination of serious carbide segregation in the billet and the transformation of developed dendrite into fine round equiaxed grain. Meanwhile, the eutectic carbide in the semi-solid billets is lower and thinner than that of ones in conventional billets, and it exhibits not the developed network structure in the conventional billets but discontinuous net structure, which can result in the improvement of the thermal plasticity and the more uniform distribution of carbide in the semi-solid billets after forged. However, the desirable thermal plasticity temperature interval still is 9001 200 ℃ in the condition of uniaxial stress.

摘要:The microstructure and properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy treated by solid solution at (410±5) ℃ for 10 hours have been investigated by squeezing casting with squeezing ratio of 25∶1 at 330 ℃. The results reveal that the fine grain in the squeezed AZ91 magnesium alloy can be observed, in which the Mg17Al12 phase is dispersively distributed due to its broken state, and some look on stream-flow distribution. Meanwhile, the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of squeezed casting AZ91 magnesium alloy are 210 MPa, 355 MPa and 18%, respectively, which are apparently superior to that of as-cast ones. The second phase Mg17Al12 has the important effects on the mechanical properties of the magnesium alloy.

摘要:The effects of the friction force between crystalline and surface of the ingot, cooling water pressure on the quality of the 5052 alloy ingot have been examined. The microstructure of the subsurface under different processing was observed by a polarized light microscope, and the chemical compositions of the segregation area were detected by EDAX. The results indicate that the liquid aluminum breakout can be effectively eliminated by polishing crystalline, applying lubricant oil on the crystalline wall and increasing cooling water pressure during pouring. In addition, the surface macro-segregation can be obviously restrained by increasing the cooling pressure up to 0.20 MPa.

摘要:Multi-layer spray depositing 7075/SiCp composites was densified by cyclic pressing. The effects of pressing temperatures, transverse deformation rate and reduction rate on the densification of the composites billets have been examined, and the mechanical properties of the cyclic pressed composites were tested. The results indicate that the spray deposited 7075/SiCp composites exhibit desirable metallurgical bonding with cyclic pressing at 420 ℃. All the transverse deformation rate of front six layer lattices in the composites can reach 15% and the average reduction rate of every lattice is 23.3% in minimum value and 37.9 in maximum value with the transverse deformation rate of 15% and reduction rate of 31%. The tensile strength of the composites after one cyclic pressing is greatly superior to that of the initial ones, exhibiting excellent densification effects of cyclic pressing.
摘要:Microstructural evolution and oxidation resistance of hot dip aluminized layer on 20 steel were investigated during oxidization at 800 ℃ with different diffusion treatment. The results indicate that the oxidized rate at 800 ℃ is increased with extending time in the range of 2 to 6 hours when diffusion temperature is 750 ℃, while the oxidized rate is decreased with extending diffusion time in the range of 2 to 4 hours, and the minimum oxidized rate can be observed at 4 hours, then it is gradually increased with the diffusion time more than 4 hours when the diffusion temperature is 850 ℃. The desirable oxidation resistance of the hot dip aluminized layer can be obtained with the diffusion temperature of 900 ℃ for two hours. In addition, SEM observation reveals that the void in diffusion treated aluminized layer/substrate aggregates gradually into the linear crack parallel to surface, in which the internal oxidation occurs, during high temperature oxidation, which will evidently affects the oxidation resistance of hot dip aluminizing steel.

摘要:Effects of RE element La on microstructure and properties of ZL303 alloy have been investigated by means of optical microscope(OM) and mechanical measurements and orthogonal testing. The distribution of RE element La and its compound phase in the ZL 3030 alloy have been observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope). The results reveal that microstructure of ZL303 can be evidently refined with La addition, in which black skeleton Mg2Si phase is converted into short-rod ones, and gray net-like AlFeMnSi is converted into skeleton ones. Orthogonal testing show that the tensile strength of ZL303 alloy with 1% La addition can be remarkably improved. Compared with that of ZL303 alloy, the tensile strength and elongation of Al-5Mg-Si-La alloy can be increased by 17% and by 120%, respectively, and the hardness can be slightly improved. Majority of La and its compound phase are distributed into the phase interface and grain boundary with minority of them into α-Al phase. In addition, the mechanism of La refining structure and improving mechanical properties of the ZL303 alloy was described.
