摘要:The effects of heating temperature on the microstructure of grain-refined AZ91D magnesium alloy billets heated at 580,600 and 620 ℃ have been observed by optical microscope.The results indicate that the higher the heating temperature is,the faster the remelting rate of the billets is and the finer the grain size is.The improvement of heating temperature can promote the remelting rate and restrain the coalescence of grains to a certain extent,which is helpful to refining the grain size in partial remelting structure.

摘要:The surface morphology,macro-micro-hardness and compressive behavior of Ti47Al rectangular billets prepared by continuous melting and solidification with cold crucible have been investigated.The results indicate that the surface morphology of the rectangular billet is affected by electromagnetic force.The columnar crystal that is parallel to growth direction can be generated in the microstructure of the billets after a section of equiaxed or lathy grains,however,the undirectional equiaxed grain section can be observed in the outer-side of the billets.The directional structure in the billets consists of the lamellar structure that is parallel or nearby 45 °to the pulling direction.In addition,the microstructure of the billets is consistent with the surface color.The compressive testing reveals that the compressive strength of the billet at direction solidification region is superior to that of the other region ones.

摘要:The tendency and direction of crack formation in the round ingot is closely dependent on the casting speed in semi-continuous casting.The coupled thermal-stress finite element model for semi-continuous casting 7050 aluminum alloy billets has been established based on MSC.marc software,in which the hexahedral element type with eight nodes is adopted and the influence of liquid-solid transformation and solidification latent heat are considered.The effects of different casting speeds on temperature field and stress field in semi-continuous casting have been simulated with determining the complicated boundary confined condition.The simulated results indicate that the decrease of casting speed can reduce the gradient of cooling rate between inner and outer of the ingot to decrease the tensile stress in ingot surface,which is helpful for promoting the formation of the ingot and relieving the tendency of crack formation.

摘要:A new rheo-forming method in which the slurry preparation was independent on the component forming was developed by integrating LSPSF(low shearing pouring semi-solid fabrication) with direct squeezing forming method.The rheo-squeezing forming was conducted successfully for aluminum alloy cannonball shells(thin-walled and deep-cylinder parts) using YB32-300 hydraulic presser.The results indicate that the new rheo-squeezing forming system has the features of simple operation and excellent slurry formability,which is beneficial to forming the parts with desirable surface quality due to realize the quantitative pouring and slurry delivery.The microstructure of parts in different position is different due to the uneven pressure distribution on semi-solid slurry.There exists more spherical phase in center and less spherical phase as well as more liquid phase near to the edge of inner surface of the parts on the transverse section.However,the microstructure in the bottom is the same as that of semi-solid before rheo-squeezing casting.

摘要:A series of true stress via true strain curves were mapped under given temperatures,including 250,300,350,400,450,500 ℃,and strain rate,including 0.1,0.01.0.001 s-1,based on the measurements of mechanical properties of squeezing casting aluminum alloy with different pressures,such as 20,50,75 MPa by means of digital-controlled thermal-mechanical physical analogue machine Gleeble-1500D.The effects of temperature,strain rate and squeezing pressure on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy at elevated temperature have been examined.The results indicate that the flow stress of the aluminum alloy is decreased with the increase of the temperature and is increased with the increase of the strain rate.The higher flow stress can be obtained with a higher squeezing pressure,exhibiting the effects of squeezing pressure on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy at elevated temperature.

摘要:Effects of trace Sr on microstructure and mechanical properties of(Al2O3+Al3Zr)p/A356 composites synthesized by the direct melt reaction in A356-Zr(CO3)2 system were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM) and tensile test.SEM observation reveals that in-situ synthesized fine Al3Zr and Al2O3 particles with 23 μm in size can be observed,which is uniformly distributed into the matrix due to not be rejected by solid/liquid interface but be engulfed in the solid phase,and the Si phase in the A356 alloy can be converted from coarse acicular into fine particle with trace Sr modification.The tensile strength of the Sr modified composites is increased by 13.8% compared with that of the composites without Sr modification.
摘要:Ni-CeO2nano-composites were prepared by electroforming in an ultrasonic field.The effects of ultrasonic power,CeO2nano-particle addition and cathode current density on the content of CeO2 in the nano-composites have been investigated,and the electroforming velocity and current efficiency with the ultrasonic effect have been analyzed.The surface morphology and micro-hardness of the nano-composites have been examined.The results indicate that the desirable Ni-CeO2 nano-composites containing 3.0%CeO2 can be prepared with the CeO2 particles addition of 40 g/L and ultrasonic power of 300 W at frequency of 28 kHz and cathode current density of 6 A/dm2,exihiting more smooth morphology with more compact structure and finer grain size,compared with that of Ni-CeO2 nano-composites prepared in the absence of ultrasonic field.The ultrasonic field can promote the co-deposition of nano-particle with the matrix to further refine the grain size as a result of restraining the agglomeration of the nano-particle,and it can obviously increase the micro-hardness of the composites as well as raising the electro-forming speed and electric current efficiency.

摘要:The effects of surplus Si on microstructure and properties of 6063 aluminum alloy were approached,and the mechanism of the surplus Si was analyzed theoretically.It was found that the proper surplus-Si can refine as-cast microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of the 6063 aluminum alloy.The effects of surplus Si content with less than 0.06% on the corrosion resistance of the alloy can be neglected,however,excessive surplus Si content can significantly deteriorate the corrosion resistance.The electric conductivity of the alloy can be declined with the increase of surplus Si content,and the higher electric conductivity can be observed with the mass ratio of Mg via Si somewhat less than 1.73.
摘要:The as-cast microstructures of Mg-5Sn-xGd(x=0,0.5,1.0,4.0,6.0) alloys have been observed.The experimental results indicate that with increasing in Gd content,the lamellar α-Mg+Mg2Sn eutectic phase which is mainly distributed continuously in the grain boundary areas of the alloy is reduced and becomes discontinuous.With 4% Gd addition,the eutectic phase in the alloy can be hardly found.In addition,a new fine Mg-Sn-Gd phase with irregular shape is generated in near grain boundary of the alloy with the decrease of eutectic phase,increased with increasing in Gd content.The DSC analysis indicate that the rare-earth phase has a phase transition at 582 ℃.The addition of Gd has an obvious effect on the distribution of the element Sn in the alloy.
摘要:The effects of minor boron on microstructure of hypoeutectic Ti-5Si alloy have been observed by SEM(scanning electron microscope) and OM(optical microscope),and the Boron atom role on the eutectic transformation and the growth of dendrite during solidification process has been investigated.The results show that the minor B addition can remarkably improve the morphology of the dendrite in the microstructure of hypoeutectic Ti-5Si alloy,decreasing the volumetric fraction of primary dendrite and increasing the volumetric fraction of eutectic phase,which is attributed to the minor B addition raising the Si equivalent value in the hypoeutectic Ti-5Si alloy.
