摘要:Effects of different temperature on re-deforming rate of cast-rolling AZ61 magnesium alloy strip were examined.The results reveal that the ultimate re-deforming rate of magnesium strip is more than 80% at 400℃ and 350℃,while it reaches 60% at 300℃ and it falls to about 40% at 250℃,furthermore,it drops down to 20%~30% at 200℃ and only 10% at room temperature.Deformed structure observation reveals that microstructure of cold rolled alloy is substantially similar to that of cast-rolling ones in range of ultimate re-deforming rate.Grain in rolled alloy at 200℃ exists in fibrous structure due to being elongated,and grain size can be evidently refined with rolling at more than 250℃.Grain with approximately 5μm in average size can be observed with rolling at 400℃.

摘要:Dendrite growth in directional solidification of succinonitrile-5% ethanol alloy was observed to examine effects of temperature and solute distribution.The results reveal that solute concentration in the dendrite interface which is in the middle area of two competitive growth can be increased with the drainage of solute in the process of dendritic growth in both sides,which results in more and more serious solute segregation in the middle dendrite so as to induce the necking effects.That dendrite in the middle area in multi-competitive growth dendrite appears in necking effects as a result of slow growth velocity is attributed to release latent heat from other dendrites growth,resulting in increasing temperature of middle area to form constitutional supercooling.Necking effects can be strengthened with increasing in liquid flow velocity at solid/liquid interface and in heterogeneity of temperature and solute distribution based on theoretical analysis,which is well in agreement with experimental ones.
