摘要:Effects of Ca and Zr addition on as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy can be refined with Ca addition, in which the precipitates at inter-crystal are increased and β-Mg17Al12 phases are decreased. In addition, the Al2Ca phase is created at grain boundary with 0.37% Ca addition, which can improve the tensile strength of alloy to maximum value of 190.3 MPa as a result of enhancing alloy. The minimum size of 63.4 μm can be obtained in the AZ31 alloy with 1.5% Ca addition. Zr addition can refine the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy in electromagnetic-suspending casting. Compared with those of as-cast AZ31 magnesium alloy, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy with 0.07% Zr addition are 210.75 MPa and 12.9%, respectively, increased by 19.56% and by 20.56%, respectively.
摘要:Effects of quenching transferring time on the intergranular corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy containing Zr or free were observed by OM (optical microscope) and SEM (scanning electronic microscope). The results reveal that with increasing in the quenching transferring time, the intergranular corrosion depth is increased, showing the fading of intergranular corrosion resistance of alloy. However, the intergranular corrosion resistance of the alloy containing Zr is superior to that of one free Zr. The increase of quenching transferring time results in widening grain boundary precipitate free zone, which is primarily responsible for the decrease of intergranular corrosion resistance. The Zr addition can increase intergranular corrosion resistance as a result of inhibiting recrystallization.
摘要:Effects of the initial velocity of gas, the melting temperature and the melt flow rate of Al-12Zn alloy on the droplet size distribution and average solid fraction in different cross section of the spray cone were examined based on droplet solidification model coupled with droplet size distribution function.

摘要:Effects of extruded process, such as extruded temperature and cooling rate, and deformation rate on microstructure and properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy were investigated to optimize processing parameters. The results indicate that the mechanical properties and microstructure of the AZ31 magnesium alloy are relavant with to extruded temperature, deformation rate and cooling rate. Twin-crystal periodically exists in the structure of the AZ31 alloy during extrusion process, and it is helpful for the creation of twin-crystal in the structure with low extruded temperature and deformation rate as well as high cooling rate. Extruded force is decreased with increasing in extruded temperature, and the strength of the alloy can be improved with rising deformation rate in case of water cooling. Meanwhile, slight effects of varied extrusion parameters on electronic conductivity can be observed. The tensile strength and electronic conductivity of the alloy are 272.2 MPa and 17.3 MS/m, respectively, with extruding at 400 ℃ and extruding rate of 14.5 in the condition of water cooling .

摘要:The microstructure of eutectic ZL108 aluminum alloy prepared by single roller rotating-quenching method was observed by DSC(differential scanning calorimetry), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The results indicate that the only presence of Al diffraction peak can be observed in the diffraction spectrum of the rapidly solidified alloy, exhibiting the samller lattice constant compared with the conventional alloy. And the rapidly solidified alloy has more an exothermic peak than the conventional alloy in the DSC curves of heat flow-temperature before melting. TEM observation reveals that there exists hypoeutectic solidified structure without developed dendrite in the rapidly solidified alloy, which is composed of micron grain and eutectic area in which nanometer Si particle exists. It can be concluded that the alloy elements such as Si has almost fully dissolved into Al solid solution, resulting in the enlargement of dissolvability and the movement towards right of eutectic point, meanwhile, the microstructure of the rapidly solidified alloy is greatly superior to that of conventional alloy.

摘要:Critical solid fraction of (CSF) Ti alloy melt is controlled by rotating velocity of the mould and rotating radius in vertical centrifugal field. The results indicate that critical solid fraction is gradually increased with increasing in rotating velocity of mould and rotating radius. Dynamic critical solid fraction in centrifugal field was established through a trial-calculation method. Meanwhile, effects of rotating velocity, rotating radius, melt super-heating degree and temperature of mould on shrinkage hole (porosity) were predicted by the numerical simulation method. The results reveal that with increasing in rotating velocity and rotating radius as well as melt super-heating degree and mould temperature, the shrinkage porosity(hole) is reduced.
摘要:Effects of different pouring temperature and rotating velocity of rotating duct on microstructure of A356 aluminum alloy semi-solid slurry were observed based on the self-developed LSPSF technology.

摘要:Preparation of A2017 semi-solid alloy was conducted by means of a new wave-like sloping plate method. The molten alloy was heterogeneously nucleated on surface of wave-like sloping plate and was grown in the condition of flow, collision and shearing, resulting in the gradual evolution of coarse net-work equiaxed grain into fine spheroid particle. The microstructure with fine uniform distribution in the semi-solid alloy can be successfully prepared with pouring at 720 ℃ on the interval wave-like sloping plate with length in 400500 mm and declined angle of 45°. Furthermore, the desirable spheroidized structure suitable for thixo-forming was obtained with re-heating at 625 ℃ for 60 min.
摘要:Wrought aluminum alloy components could be produced by direct squeezing casting, whose mechanical properties are nearby those of forged components. However, the shape and surface of components are limited in direct squeezing casting. And the components exhibit higher crack tendency in conventional indirect squeezing casting so that it is difficult to produce complicated thin-walled component. Based on above analysis, it is an acceptable method to adopt double squeezing casting technology.

摘要:The purification mechanism of ceramic filter is as follows: obstruction, absorption and rectification effect. The foam ceramic filter exhibits excellent rectification effects in low pressure casting A356.2 aluminum alloy wheel, and the crack in the surface layer of the wheel can be greatly eliminated. In addition, the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the wheel keep stable by means of the foam ceramic filter as a result of removing inclusions in aluminum melt, avoiding the sharp deterioration of mechanical properties of the alloy resulting from a few coarse inclusions. However, the tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy can not be obviously improved due to the existence of fine inclusion. It is beneficial for the improvement of mechanical properties of the wheel with the foam ceramic filter due to the removal of the coarse inclusion in aluminum melt.

摘要:Formation and effects of Al-Zr-Cr-La dispersoid in aluminum alloy were investigated. The results show that Al20Cr2La dispersoids are created in the alloy, which can evidently restrain the recrystalization and enhance the alloy, and Zr element can be dissolved into the Al20Cr2La phase in the alloy containing Zr. Compared with the Al20Cr2La phase without Zr, the Al20Cr2La phase with Zr exhibits higher capability of inhibiting recrystalization with slight improvement of enhancing alloy.
摘要:The morphology of inclusion that was increased with adding aluminum scrap in aluminum melt was observed by OM (optical microscope), and the Tafel curves and the linear polarization resistance were measured to obtain the corrosion potential and corrosion current. The results indicate that, with the increase of aluminum scrap, the Tafel curves moves towards right, and the linear polarization resistance is decreased, and the corrosion potential moves towards negative as well as increasing in corrosion current. The regression model for describing relationship between inclusion content and electrochemical parameters was established based on the linear change of electrochemical properties with inclusion variation, meanwhile, the new way on electrochemical parameters characterizing inclusion in aluminum melt was proposed.
摘要:Microstructure of A356 aluminum alloy refined by Al5Ti1B0.5RE master alloy was observed by OM (optical microscope), SEM (scanning electronic microscope) and EDAX to understand the refining effects of the master alloy. The results indicate that the master alloy can greatly refine the grain size and dendrite in A356 aluminum alloy, in which the RE exhibits significantly positive role. AlTiRE phase formed in the master alloy with RE is unstable in Al melt it and could dissolved quickly into Al melt to release RE elements, which can decrease surface energy and tendency of segregation of TiB2 phase, increasing nuclei amounts. Meanwhile, RE can restrain the growth of TiAl3 phase and the formation of acicular TiAl3 phase as a result of RE easily segregating in grain boundary and phase interface of Al melt, raising the nucleation rate. In addition, RE can improve the refining effects of the master alloy due to effectively purifying the metallurgical quality of the master alloy and Al melt.

摘要:Silver films were made by thick film method with ultrafine silver powders prepared by DC(direct current) arc plasma evaporation. Effects of slurry compositions on the properties of the silver conductor with thick film had been investigated by varying proportion of slurry composition with the help of OM, EDS. The results indicate that the slurry viscosity is increased with the increase of solid phase content, and the optimized solid phase content is 80%. At the experimental range, the sheet resistance of the sintered thick film is firstly decreased, then increased with increasing in glass powder content, and desirable glass content is 3%. In addition, sizes of glass powder and Ag powder have evidently affected the properties of Ag conductor slurry. There exists a desirable match in Ag powder and glass powder for conductivity. The Ag powder with average size of 102.92 nm and 204.26 nm exhibits good solderability, and size of glass powder also affects the solderability of silver conductor with thick film to some extent.

摘要:Effects of soldering processing parameters on the growth of interface intermetallic compound and shearing strength of Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.1RE/Cu soldering joint were investigated by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and XRD(X-ray diffraction). The results indicate that wave-like Cu6Sn5 phase is created at the interface of the soldering joint after soldering. With extending soldering time and increasing soldering temperature, wave-like Cu6Sn5 phase is converted into scallop-like structure with bigger size, which results in the increase of thickness and interface roughness. Cu6Sn5 phase with 2.2 μm in thickness and 1.26 μm in roughness can be generated with soldering at 270 ℃ for 180 s, which is responsible for the highest shearing strength of soldering joint.
摘要:Effects of aging temperature and aging time on microstructure and properties of Cu-2Ni-0.5Si alloy were investigated after varying cold deformation. The results indicate that the secondary phase is dispersively distributed in the alloy with solid solution at 900 ℃ and then aging treatment after varying cold deformation. The micro-hardness and electronic conductivity of the 80% deformed alloy with aging at 500 ℃ for 1h are 250 and 22.625 MS/m, respectively, exhibiting higher comprehensive properties compared with those without cold deformation. Pre-cold deformation before aging can strongly accelerate the precipitation of secondary phase in the alloy during aging, which is responsible for the improvement of micro-hardness and electronic conductivity. The tensile strength of the 40% pre-cold deformed alloy with aging at 450 ℃ for 4 h can reach up to 620 MPa, and the fracture morphology is characterized by typical ductile fracture mode.
摘要:Effects of low frequency electromagnetic field on ingot surface, as-cast microstructure and alloying element distribution in horizontal continuous casting aluminum alloy slab were investigated, which was compared with that of conventional horizontal continuous casting aluminum alloy slab. The results reveal that low frequency electromagnetic field can greatly improve the as-cast microstructure of horizontal continuous aluminum alloy slab. The uniformly distributed fine as-cast microstructure in the cross section of the whole ingot can be observed as a result of refining grain size and weakening the effects of gravity on solidification process of ingot by low frequency electromagnetic field. In addition, the solute element is more homogeneously distributed in the cross section of the slab, which is resulted from reducing negative segregation and gravity segregation by low frequency electromagnetic field.

摘要:Origination of sand flushing in EPC(evaporate pattern casting) was analyzed by mathematical theory. The sand flushing defects between the sprue and pouring cup in EPC can be prevented by preventing sealed plastic film from high temperature heat sources and by sealing joint of pouring cup and the sprue with refractory mortar containing high temperature binder to take a whole shape. The sand flushing defects in bottom of the sprue can be eliminated by sealing around refractory brick for bottom of the sprue refractory mortar. The sand flushing in the sprue and in runner as well as in joint between ingate and runner can be prevented by thickening coating on the ingate , sealing joint with the refractory mortar or brushing rapidly drying coating as well as drying wet sand and vacuum pumping ahead of 35 minutes.
