摘要:Effects of temperature in range of 780 ℃ to 1 080 ℃ on the flow stress of the TC11 alloy have been tested by the Thermecmaster-Z thermo-analogue machine with strain rates of 10 s-1 and 70 s-1and on the microstructure have been observed.The results reveal that the steady flow characteristics can be observed during hot compressive deformation of TC11 alloy with the temperature in range of 990 ℃ to1 080 ℃,while the flow softening characteristics can be exhibited with the temperature in range of 780 ℃ to 960 ℃ at strain rates of 10 s-1 and 70 s-1.The microstructure observation shows that the TC11 alloy deformed in α+β phase zone exhibits adiabatic shearing or partial flow with temperature less than 900 ℃ at strain rates of 10 s-1 and 70 s-1.The microstructure of the alloy deformed in β phase zone consists of elongated β grain and minor dynamic recrystallization grain and show boundary deformation,which results in the mechanical instability of β phase.

摘要:The effects of Ce and Sn addition on microstructure of AZ91 magnesium alloy have been described.It is found that the grain size in the microstructure can be obviously refined with Ce addition,and rod-like Al-Ce compound can be observed.The Al-Ce phase in the matrix gradually grows and is aggregated with the Ce addition more than 0.6%,resulting in the fading of reining effects.Long rod-like Al-Cu phase can be further refined and diespersively distributed into the AZ91-0.6Ce alloy with Sn addition.The refining effects of Ce and Sn mixed addition are superior to those of Ce addition only in T4 treated Alloy,in which the grain size is decreased from 150200μm to 6080μm with 0.6% Ce and 0.3%0.5%Sn mixed addition.

摘要:The effects of different Ca contents including 0 and 0.3% on microstructure and mechanical properties of the wrought magnesium alloy sheets with 1 mm in thickness which was prepared from cast magnesium alloy ingots followed by homogenization and hotrolling were investigated by the OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscope)and standard universal testing machine.It is indicated that the anisotropy of mechanical properties of the alloy sheets can be obviously improved as a result of the increase of homogenization of microstructure with Ca addition,which decreases the difference of tensile strength and elongation of the alloy in different direction,especially increasing the strength and elongation of the alloy at 45°to the rolling direction.The tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of rolled alloy sheet are 292.7 MPa,200.1 MPa and 9.2%,respectively,compared with those of the alloy without Ca,increased by 25.25%,43.75% and 24.32%,respectively.In addition,the reduction of magnesium alloy with Ca(the rolling reduction was fixed as 50% per pass)reaches 33.8% at 350 ℃,increased by 10%.
摘要:Solidification structures of hypereutectic Pb-45Sn alloy and hypoeutectic Pb-64Sn in rotating magnetic field with different rotating velocity and magnetic flux density were observed based on a self-designed rotating magnetic field apparatus,and were compared with those of alloy in conventional condition.The results reveal that the rotating magnetic fileld can greatly refine grain size in the hypereutectic Pb-45Sn alloy due to broken dendrite while it can coarsen the eutectic structure in inter-dendrite with the creation of bulk structure due to suppressing the gravity-induced macro-segregation.In addition,with the increase of both magnetic flux density and rotating velocity,the numbers of equiaxed grain in solidification structure of both hypereutectic Pb-45Sn alloy and hypoeutectic Pb-64Sn alloy are increased.

摘要:The effects of Amper·coil,slit numbers,alloy and coil position on meniscus height in induction solidified shell melting was simulated by a numerical model.The results reveal that the meniscus height linearly increases with increasing in Amper·coil value,where the meniscus height is increased by 4.2 mm with increasing 1 000 A·coil.Meanwhile,the meniscus height is proportional to slit numbers in the mold with the silt numbers less than 40,in which the meniscus height is increased by 0.6 mm with increasing one slit number,while it is slowly increased with increasing slit numbers when the slit number is more than 40.In addition,the meniscus height increases with the decrease of relative magnetic induction density of the alloy,and it is decreased with the increase of the alloy density.So the meniscus height of Ti-48Al-2Cr alloy melt is the highest in the three alloys.
摘要:When it is applied in the PLC-based control system for low pressure casting,the PID function in S7-200 PLC which was produced by the Siemens,not only has the advantages of good static performance,no steady-state error,but also has the disadvantages of poor dynamic response and being easy to overshoot.By fuzzification for error and error change during the control progress,the fuzzy-PID algorithm,which could adjust three parameters KP,KI and KD in PID algorithm online,was established.The new control algorithm was realized in PLC by indirect addressing.The production application shows that it exhibits desirable controlling effects.
摘要:Effects of crucible with different sizes and straight pipe on microstructure of semi-solid feedstock prepared by straight pipe pouring have been observed at different temperatures.It is found that the cooling capacity of straight pipe has some effects on microstructure of feedstock.In addition,the straight pipe has different effects on the feedstock with different size,in which the effects on microstructure of the billet with large size are higher.The desirable microstructure can be prepared by straight pipe pouring with cooling at room or water cooling for the feedstock with 80 mm in diameters and 150 mm in length,however,the microstructure is deteriorated with the pouring temperature more than 200 ℃.Although the feedstock with sound microstructure can be prepared by straight pipe pouring with cooling at room or water cooling for the billets with 98 mm in diameters and 150 mm in length,the microstructure of the semi-solid billets at water cooling is obviously superior to that of ones at room.

摘要:Based on the practical experiences in squeezing casting aluminum alloy,some key factors in whole processing procedures were proposed according to equipment structure and parts features.The available suggestions were proposed.In squeezing casting,the pouring temperature should be higher than that in common die casting,and the elemental Si,Mg,Cu and Fe content in liquid aluminum alloy should be strictly controlled,and the wider section area of ingate and shorter sprue should be adopted.In addition,the shift position of injection velocity from filling sprue to fill cavity as well as to high velocity filling should be strictly set,and the exhausted and dross design with larger channel should be adopted.Some bottleneck problems in the squeezing casting industry at domestic were discussed,and the future development was suggested.

摘要:Hot compression testing of Mg-Y-Nd-Gd-Zr magnesium alloy RE-containing was performed on the Gleeble 1 500 at strain rate in range of 0.002 to 1 s-1 and temperature from 250 to 450 ℃ with the deformation degree of 50%.The steady flow stress during hot deformation was calculated by the exponential equation.Processing map of the alloy was established on the basis of dynamic material model.Microstructural observation indicate that the peak value of dissipation factor is 0.36 at 400 ℃ and 1s-1,which shows that the domain at the medium temperature and high strain rate is the desirable processing performance area.In addition,the working processing of more pass with small reduction rate is helpful to obtaining a larger region of desirable processing performance.

摘要:Effects of Nd addition including 0,1%,2%,3%,on microstructure and ambient and elevated mechanical properties of the Mg-4Al-1S alloy have been investigated.It is found that the mechanical properties of the alloy with Nd addition can be significantly improved as a result of the refinement of grain size and creation of acicular high melting point Al11Nd3 phase.The ambient and elevated tensile strength of the alloy reaches 206 MPa and 138 MPa,respectively,with 2.0% Nd addition,compared with that of alloy without Nd addition,increased by 20% and 14%,respectively.With the further increase of Nd addition,the mechanical properties of the alloy are deteriorated due to the creation of bulk Al2Nd phase in the alloy.
摘要:As-cast microstructure of AM60 magnesium alloy with different Ti content was observed by OM(optical microscope),XRD(X-ray diffraction meter)and SEM(scanning electron microscope)and ambient tensile strength of the alloy was measured.The results reveal that the minor Ti addition can remarkably refine the as-cast microstructure of AM60 magnesium alloy.The desirable refinement effect with uniformly distributed fine second phase can be observed with 0.2% Ti addition,in which the semi-continuous β-Mg17Al12 distributed along grain boundary was converted into particle and dispersively distributed TiAl3 particle can be created in α-Mg phase,obtaining the highest tensile strength and elongation.When Ti addition is more than 0.2%,the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy are decreased with increasing in Ti addition as a result of the coarsenization of β-Mg17Al12 and α-Mg phase,and are superior to those of AM60 magnesium without Ti.The improvement of mechanical properties of AM60 magnesium alloy is attributed to Ti addition refining grain size and β-Mg17Al12 phase in the alloy as well as formed TiAl3 phase distributed into the matrix and secondary phase to strengthen the alloy.

摘要:Corrosion behavior of as-cast and spray formed ZA35 alloy containing 3.5% Mn was observed in 3.5% NaCl salt spray atmosphere.The results indicate that the corrosion dynamic curves of spray formed alloy are accordant with the parabola curves,and the corrosion rate is remarkably slower than that of as-cast alloy which is accordant with linear dynamics.The corrosion mechanism is attributed to the prefer dissolution of η phase.The existence of amounts of lamellar MnAl6 phase provides a rapid channel for η phase dissolution in as-cast ZA35 alloy,resulting in the acceleration of corrosion,while Mn in the spray formed is totally solved,which decreases the potential difference between η phase and α phase,relieving the corrosion behavior.
摘要:The hot deformation behavior and microstructure of the Cu-Se-Bi alloy were investigated by thermal compression with Gleeble-1500 machine with the deformed temperature in range of 550 ℃ to 700 ℃ and strain rate at 0.0110 s-1,and the constitutive equation for the hot deformation behavior has been established based on the experimental data.The results reveal that the dynamic recrystallization at high temperature in Cu-Se-Bi alloy can remarkably decrease the flow stress which tends to a constant value with 15%80% deformation rate.The fluctuant of the flow stress can be observed with the strain rate in range of 2.5 s-1 to 10 s-1,in which the maximum fluctuant value of 12 MPa can be observed with strain rate of 10 s-1 and true strain of 0.010.15 at 700 ℃.The recrystallization is increased with the increase of the strain,and the grain size is decreased with the decrease of strain rate.The average grain size of 8.5 μm can be obtained with the strain of 60% and strain rate of 0.01 s-1 at 600 ℃.
