摘要:A model based on the population dynamics method(PDM) was used to analyze the solidification behaviors of the Al-12Zn alloy droplets produced by gas atomization,and effects of the initial gas velocity and the melting temperature on the solidification process of single droplet were approached. The results show that the droplet undergoes five different thermal stages,i.e. liquid phase cooling,nucleation and recalescence,grain growth,eutectic solidification,solid phase cooling. The solid phase fraction in a droplet with a given size can be decreased with increasing in initial gas velocity or in melting temperature at the same flight distance.
摘要:Effects of Al,Ti and Ta on microstructure and properties of Ni-based single crystal superalloy prepared by ISP-05-DS/SC furnace were investigated by testing both solvus temperature and mismatch degree . The results reveal that Al,Ti and Ta elements are mainly distributed in γ′ phase in as-cast microstructure. The solubility of Co,Cr and Mo in γ phase and solvus temperature as well as the enlargement of mismatch can be increased with increasing in Al,Ti and Ta content,which results in the morphology of γ′ phase changed from spherical to cubic structure. In addition,the enduring life of the superalloy at high temperature can be improved with the increase of Al,Ti and Ta content.

摘要:Based on the established mathematical and physical model for calculating the three-dimensional electromagnetic field in soft-contact continuous casting mold,effects of exciting current density,varied at 2.2×106 A/m2 to 1.32×107 A/m2,on the distribution of magnetic induction intensity and electromagnetic forces in soft-contact mold were simulated. The results show that the magnetic induction intensity and electromagnetic force in the surface layer of molten steel or billet can be effectively increased in the beginning solidification region ,however,the heterogeneities of magnetic induction intensity and electromagnetic forces along the circumference direction are enhanced with the increase of exciting current intensity. The values of magnetic induction intensity and electromagnetic forces at slits are evidently higher than that at the segment center. Besides,change gradient of electromagnetic forces along height direction of mold is increased with increasing in exciting current density,resulting in the deterioration of homogeneity. So the exciting current density should be controlled at a accepted range to ensure the quality of billet.

摘要:Ti-46Al-2Nb-2Cr alloy with coarse grain was prepared by induction skull melting with a non-consumable electrode. The effects of cooling rate on as-cast microstructure of alloy during pre-treated process at high temperature were observed by OM (optical microscope) and SEM (scanning electron microscope)in case of different quenching conditions . The results reveal that the cooling rate has obvious effect on microstructure of the alloy with coarse grain. High cooling rate can improve the refinement of grain in the alloy after heat treatment,strengthening refining effect and promoting the process of refinement,while low cooling rate can decrease the refining effects and restrain the refining velocity.

摘要:The strength of modified silicate sand was examined. The results reveal that sequence of initial strength value of silicate sand is as follows: modified resin silicate sand containing -CONH2 polarity higher than modified resin silicate sand containing -COONa polarity higher than common silicate sand higher than modified resin silicate sand containing HO-O-CH2OH polarity,while the increasing sequence of final strength value is as follows: modified resin silicate sand containing -COONa polarity more than modified resin silicate sand containing HO-O-CH2OH polarity more than modified resin silicate sand containing -CONH2 polarity more than common silicate sand under the condition of the same binder addition and blowing. Comprehensive properties of modified resin silicate sand containing -COONa polarity is acceptable. In addition,with increasing in blowing time,the initial strengths of all mold sands are increased while the final strengths are decreased gradually. With increasing in blowing volume,the initial strength is declined while final strength is increased.
摘要:Microstructures of ingot and sintered Nd31Dy3Fe62.57Nb0.6Co1.2Cu0.3Al0.3B1.03 alloy with multi-element alloying were investigated,especially the distribution of micro-alloying elements in microstructure. There exists obvious radial segregation in the ingot,and dendritic α-Fe phase was found in the center of the ingots. Nb was distributed in the interface of Nd2Fe14B phase as Nb-Fe phase. Cu and Co element have obvious enrichment in the Nd-enriched phase,however,obvious enrichment of Al element in ingot was absent. There are similar regularities for elemental distribution in sintered magnets,however,the degree of elemental enrichment is slightly decreased,in which the grain boundary becomes more straightness after tempering treatment. The magnetic properties of sintered magnets were Br of 1.097T,Hcj of 1 092 kA/m,(BH)max of 220 kj/m3.

摘要:A inner-outer compound cooling method that set a U shape cooling pipe in mould was employed for improving heat transferring efficiency in continuous casting Q2351 slab with 165mm in size. The filling process of liquid steel in mould with inner-outer compound cooling water was simulated by CFD software based on flow field coupling with temperature field. The simulated results show that inner-cooler can promote the solidification speed of continuous casting billet and decrease the flow-back velocity of poured liquid steel as a result of improving heat transferring efficiency,and the flow of liquid steel was homogenized to improve the quality of billet.

摘要:Effects of SSS die casting processing parameters on properties of ADC12 aluminum alloy castings were examined by a standard tensile testing specimen with different ingate configurations. Microstructure of the alloy castings was observed by optical microscope (OM),SEM(scanning electron microscope),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy spectrum. The results reveal that densities of all SSS die castings are superior to that of conventional die castings. The larger the ingate cross section is,the more effects on properties of the casting is in process of SSS die casting. There exists a optimum ingate speed under a specific ingate configuration and size,and the optimum ingate speed in three kinds of ingate configuration are less than 0.6m/s. Desirable primary α phase and eutectic Si phase can be obtained at the optimum ingate speed.

摘要:Microstructure and mechanical properties of spray deposition-extrusion-rolling SiCP/FVS0612 composite sheet were investigated by XRD(X-ray diffraction),OM (optical microscope) and TEM(transmission electron microscope). The results reveal that tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the prepared SiCP/FVS0612 composite sheet are 420 MPa,405 MPa,4.5%,respectively,at room temperature and 229 MPa,130 MPa and 3.5%,respectively,at 315 ℃ as well as 141 MPa,131 MPa and 3.3%,respectively,at 400 ℃,showing acceptable mechanical properties. In addition,the decrement of hardness of the composite sheet can be ignored with annealing at 400 ℃ for 200 h. Microstructural observation reveals that the desirable heat resistance is mainly attributed to the creation of fine spheroidal dispersive Al12(Fe,V)3Si phase in the composite sheet. In addition,SiC particle addition can play positive role for improvement of heat resistance of the composite sheet also.

摘要:Al-Nd phase can be generated and the grain can be refined in the AZ91 magnesium alloy with Nd addition. The tensile strength at room temperature of the alloy can be improved due to Nd content affecting the type,morphology,size and distribution of Al-Nd phase. Acicular Al11Nd3 phase is major in the alloy with 1.0% Nd addition,and bulk Al2Nd phase is obviously increased with acicular Al11Nd3 phase reduction in the alloy with 2.0% Nd addition,and the Al2Nd particle phase is almost dominant in the one with 2.5% Nd addition. Compared with those of one with 1.0% Nd addition,the elongation,tensile strength and yield strength of the one with 2.0% Nd addition are increased by 33%,14% and 4%,respectively,and those of alloy with 2.5% Nd addition are increased by 44%,18% and 6%,respectively.
摘要:Effects of direct sintering and ball milling combined with sintering on Ti/Al ratio and forming temperature in fabricating high purity Al3Ti powder were analyzed with commercial Ti and Al powder,and possibility of refining grain size to nano-meter Al3Ti powder was approached. The results show that the forming temperature of Al3Ti particle can be decreased and very fine micron Al3Ti powder can be obtained by ball milling combining with sintering method,which is attributed to the decrease of reactive temperature and particle size resulting from refinement and desirable bonding of Al and Ti powder in processing of ball milling leading to the sharp refinement of nucleation phase and exposure of amounts of fresh surface as well as increasing in composition activation. The molar ratio of Ti/Al is equal to the theoretic values of 1∶3 in ball milling combining with sintering method,which is less than 1∶2.5 in direct sintering method. In addition,the absence of Ti nuclei in formed Al3Ti particles in ball milling combining with sintering can be observed,superior to that in direct sintering. The refinement of Al3Ti particles by mechanical ball milling reveals that the nano-Al3Ti particles can be successfully prepared by common equipment at proper atmosphere .

摘要:The formation of MAO ceramic coating on ZAlSi12Cu2Mg1 alloy was observed in electrolyte which is composed of NaSiO3,Na2WO4,NaOH,glycerin and Na2EDTA. Effects of different proportions on critical arc starting voltage,stable oxidation time,the forming rate and hardness of coating were analyzed. The results show that NaSiO3 and NaOH can evidently promote the formation of coating,and the Na2WO4 can improve the hardness of coating. Meanwhile,NaOH can decrease the critical arc-starting voltage,and glycerin and Na2EDTA can increase stable oxidation time and improve the stability of MAO. Microstructural observation reveal that the wear resistance of the ceramic coating can be evidently improved in glycerin and Na2EDTA electrolyte as a result of refining ceramic particle in coating and improving the bonding condition of coating and matrix alloy.

摘要:The fine microstructure with uniform distribution,which is composed of α+η lamellar eutectoid and minor nano-ε dispersoids,of spray formed Zn-40Al-2Cu alloy can be observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and TEM.(transmission electron microscope) and XRD(X-ray diffraction). The tensile strength,hardness and elongation of extruded and heat treated alloy have been improved as a result of elimination of holes during deposition process. Wear experiment indicates that the frictional coefficient of the alloy is decreased with the increase of loading and is increased with increasing in wear rate. The wear mechanism is characterized by abrasion at a lower loading while it is characterized by adhesion and smearing wear at a higher loading. Compared with that of conventional as-cast Zn-40Al-2Cu alloy,the wear resistance of spray formed alloy after extruding and heat treatment can be greatly improved.

摘要:Bubbling and peeling in hot rolled Cu-0.1Fe-0.03P sheet and slag in cold rolled thin sheet were investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM),EDS,XRD and TEM.The results reveal that deoxidation of P in Cu-Fe-P alloy can enhance the hydrogen absorption effects in copper melt,resulting in the dispersive distribution of hydrogen in alloy and aggregating growth of formed gas hole in hot rolling process,which are responsible for the origination of bubble.Meanwhile,the hydrogen in the copper melt can improve the oxygen absorption tendency,resulting in the formation of Cu2O.The low plasticity of Cu2O phase in bubbling and low bonding with matrix result in the peeling and slag of cold rolled sheet as a result of fragmentation or little deformation in subsequent cold rolling process.
