摘要:The Cu60Zr30Ti10 bulk amorphous alloy with the size of 75mm in length,10 mm in width and 1mm in height has been prepared with commercial pure materials by water cooled copper mold vacuum casting.The surface of the amorphous alloy was cladded by YAG laser beam,and the microstructure and micro-hardness of the alloy in the cladded zone have been observed by X-ray diffracto-meter,optical microscope and micro-hardness meter at different depths.The results show that two-layer new microstructure can be formed in the bulk amorphous alloy after laser cladding,in which the hardness and corrosion resistance of the second layer in the middle with the thickness of about 200 μm are evidently superior to those of the matrix,reaching HV872.5 in micro-hardness.
摘要:Al-Cu-Mg-Ag-Mn alloys with different Cu and Mg contents were prepared by ingot metallurgy and thermo-mechanical treatment.The effects of Cu and Mg contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys have been investigated by tensile testing,differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM).It was found that the aging hardening and tensile strength of the alloys can be improved by increasing Cu and Mg content.Increase of Cu content can not only improve the solid solution strengthening effects of the alloy,but also play a role of second phase strengthening due to the creation of θ(CuAl2) phase with excessive Cu addition,which is beneficial to improving the elevated properties.The strengthening phase in the alloys is composed of plate-like Ω phase and minor θ’ phase with peaking aging at 185 ℃,in which with increasing Cu content,the volume fraction of plate-like Ω phase can be increased,and with increasing Mg content,the aging hardening of the alloy can be accelerated with the size of the plate-like Ω phase decrease.

摘要:Effects of different melt-treatment methods on tensile properties at elevated temperatures and microstructure of the Al sheet for pressure cans have been investigated by OM(optical microscope),DTA(differential thermal analysis),SEM(scanning electron microscope),EDAX(X-ray energy diffraction analysis) and TEM(transmission electron microscope) based on tensile testing at elevated temperatures.The results show that the existence of metallurgical defects can be responsible for the restraint of high temperature deformability and directly affect the crack propagation in the aluminum sheet as the key crack resource.Compared with the un-treatment and conventional treatment,the high-efficient melt-treatment can remarkably improve the metallurgical quality and uniformity of high temperature deformation,greatly raising the high temperature plasticity due to transgranular micro-pore gathering crack mode.The high temperature plasticity of high-efficient melt-treated aluminum sheet would be greatly deteriorated as a result of the coarsened grain size and creation of Fe(Si) phase with the deformation temperature more than 500 ℃,so the proper deformation temperature should be chosen in the range of 400450 ℃.The main plastic deformation properties of the aluminum sheet from lower grade commercially pure aluminum after high-efficient melt-treatment can reach or exceed the properties of using materials,which shows the availability of lower grade aluminum raw materials.

摘要:The effects of electric pulse modification(EPM) on the hot cracking tendency of Al-5Cu alloy have been investigated.The results indicate that the hot cracking tendency can be effectively restrained after treated by electric pulse modification with different parameters.Moreover,the hot cracking critical stress of alloy treated by EPM is increased by 3 times or so than that of the samples without treatment,which is attributed to the grain refinement of Al-Cu alloy and the decrease of eutectic phase in boundary as well as narrow of solidified temperature zone with EPM treatment.

摘要:Dry-sliding wear behaviors of two kinds of CuZnAl(RE) shape memory alloys(different transformation temperatures) after heat treatment have been examined in the conditions of different transformation temperatures,different loads for different wear periods,and the wear surface and debris have been observed by SEM and XRD.In addition,the comparison of the alloys with bronze and brass is conducted.The results show that the forging and grain refinement can improve the wear resistant of the CuZnAl(RE) SMA.Under dry sliding conditions,the wearability of martensite phase in CuZnAl(RE) SMA is higher than that of β phase.The wearability of the CuZnAl(RE) SMA treated by two grade aging is better than that of the ones treated by grade quenching.Meanwhile,the wear behavior of CuZnAl(RE) SMA is superior to that of bronze and brass.The wear mechanism of CuZnAl(RE) SMA is controlled by adhesion,delamination and abrasive wear.

摘要:Effects of heat treatment on microstructures and properties of 7B04 aluminum alloy thick plates have been investigated by optical microscope and transmission electron microscope,tensile testing and electrical conductivity testing.The results show that the optimal solid solution is treated at 470 ℃ for 240 min.Maximum tensile strength of 621 MPa can be observed with lower electric conductivity only 18.3 MS/m,after aged at 120 ℃ for 22 h.Although the tensile strength of the alloy is decreased by 10%12%,compared with that of T6 treated alloy,the electric conductivity is evidently improved by 21.3 MS/m after two-step T74 aging treatment.The high strength and high electric conductivity can be observed by RPA treatment,equivalent to T6 alloys in strength and to T4 alloy in electric conductivity.Amounts of fine disperoids are distributed into the RPA alloy with coarse and fully discontinuously distributed precipitation phase from the boundary.

摘要:The existence behavior of Sr and Nd elements in microstructure of Mg-6Al-2Sr-xNd magnesium alloy was observed,and the effects of Nd content on the mechanical properties of the alloy at room temperature were investigated.The results show that net-like Al4Sr phase is distributed along the grain boundary,and particle-like or acicular Al11Nd3 phase is precipitated from both grain and grain boundary.The increase of strength of the alloys is attributed to the Al4Sr phase inhibiting the sliding of grain boundaries and the Al11Nd3 phase pining the dislocation effectively.The maximum values of tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the alloys can be observed with 1.0% Nd content.
摘要:The solidification behavior and microstructure of Sn-30Sb alloy which had been melted below and above the temperature-induced liquid structure transition were observed by forced cooling.The results show that compared with melt at holding temperature before liquid structure transition,the alloy melted above liquid structure transition temperature needs higher supercooling degree during solidification,and SnSb compound phase becomes finer and more dispersive,which is attributed to the debonding of atomic cluster in the melt structure at the liquid structure transition temperature range of 8761 135 ℃,resulting in the uniform distribution of the melt to inhibit the nucleation and growth of primary,further to promote peritectic reaction and to finally refine the solidification structure.
