摘要:Effects of P on microstructure of in-situ Mg2Si/Al composites were described,and the composites with spherical semi-solid structure where both the matrix and reinforcement are spheroidized can be successfully prepared by the isothermal heat treatment,meanwhile,the spheroidization mechanism is approached. The results show that with P modification,Mg2Si particle in the as-cast microstructure of the composites is evolved from coarse dendrite into fine block structure. Furthermore,reinforcement with fine size and uniformly distribution exhibits regular spherical structure in the isothermal heat treated semi-solid composites,while morphology of α-Al in the composites also becomes spherical structure. In addition,with increasing in holding time,the hardly any change of Mg2Si size is found,however,the noted size change of α-Al phase can be observed.

摘要:Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-5Gd-3Nd-0.5Zr alloys containing different Y contents were investigated under different conditions. The results reveal that compounds at grain boundary in the alloys are mainly composed of Mg24Y5,Mg41Nd5 and Mg5Gd,furthermore,with increasing in Y content,the numbers and grain size of the compounds at the grain boundary are increased,however,average grain size still keeps approximately 5060 μm,showing slightly change. After homogenization treatment at 535℃ for 24 hours,compounds in the alloys are converted from continuous island structure at as-cast state into dispersively fine particles,where dispersively distributed particles in the alloys are mainly composed of Mg24Y5 and Mg41Nd5 phase while Mg5Gd phase is mostly decomposed and dissolved into the matrix. After extrusion,the microstructure with approximately 20 μm in average grain size can be observed in the alloy,and tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the alloys can be greatly improved,in which desirable comprehensive mechanical properties can be observed in Mg-5Gd-5Y-3Nd-0.5Zr. The Y content should be controlled less than 5% in weight in designed alloys.
摘要:Effects of alternative magnetic field on phase structure in ceramic layer of ceramic lined compound steel pipes fabricated by SHS were described,and NiO was added as additive to contrast. The results show that change of phase structure in ceramic layer can not be observed in alternative magnetic field. With increasing in magnetic flux intensity,size of α-Al2O3 is decreased,and morphology is gradually transformed into fine equiaxed grain structure. Effects of alternative magnetic field are strengthened by adding NiO,which results in the refinement of grain size at a lower magnetic flux density.

摘要:Effects of different hot rolling processing parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of twin rolling-casting AZ61 magnesium alloy strip were investigated. The results indicate that with hot rolling at 400℃,the grain size in the microstructure of the rolling-casting AZ61 magnesium alloy is refined as a result of the increase of recrystallization with increasing in reduction. In addition,with increasing rolling temperature,twin crystal is reduced and recrystallization is increased in the microstructure,resulting in the refinement and uniform distribution of grain. The sheets exhibit desirable mechanical properties with hot rolling at 400 ℃ to 1.5 mm in thickness.
摘要:Effects of solid solution and aging treatment on microstructure and hardness of thixoforming AZ91D magnesium alloy were investigated. The results reveal that diffusion,dissolve and ripening would successfully take place in thixo-forming AZ91D during T4 treatment. The hardness of the T4 treated alloy is increased with increasing in solution temperature as a result of solution hardening. During the subsequent aging treatment,β-Mg17Al12 phase is prior to discontinuously precipitate from the grain boundary of α-Mg phase,and then continuously precipitated from theα-Mg phase. Hardness of α-Mg phase is gradually raised with increasing in aging time and in aging temperature due to precipitation strengthening.

摘要:The compression testing at elevated temperatures was carried out for 1235 aluminum alloy prepared by different purification ways with the help of dynamic thermal simulation experimental technology. The material constants of hot deformation have been presented by multivariate regression directly,and effects of inclusion content in 1235 aluminum alloy on the constants were analyzed empathically. The results reveal that purification has the great effects on the materials constant of 1235 aluminum alloy during hot deformation,especially on the hot deformation activation energy,where the better the purification effects,the lower the hot deformation activation energy is. Compared with that of 1235 aluminum alloy prepared by other purification methods,the hot deformation activation energy of the alloy prepared by high-efficiency purification treatment which possesses the lowest inclusion content exhibits the lowest of 149.51 kJ/mol,showing desirable hot plastic performance. Inclusion content makes as a function of the hot deformation energy activation energy,in which with decreasing in inclusion content,the hot deformation activation energy is decreased. Oxidation inclusion in the alloy,such as Al2O3,during hot deformation,can pin the dislocation,restricting the bundle gathering of the dislocation and widening the width of the extending dislocation. Therefore cross-slip of screw-dislocation is not easy to generate by decreasing the fault energy,so hot deformation activation energy is increased.
摘要:Zn-Al alloy wire billets were prepared by radial extrusion based on the 90°angular pressing principle to improve the processing and application performance. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy wire were analyzed. The results show that grain size in the radial extruded alloy wire is obviously refined with the formation of fibrous structure. Compared with that prepared by axial extrusion,tensile strength of the radial extruded alloy wire is decreased by 15%,however,elongation is increased by approximately 30%. The radial extrusion technique is in favor of drawing of wire billets,and the resistance is reduced during feeding the wire into spraying gun.
摘要:Effects of low-voltage electric current pulse were described on solidification structure and mechanical properties of ignition-proof magnesium alloy ZM5-3Ca. The results show that the solidification structure in the alloy is refined after applying low-voltage electric current pulse,in which the primary phase is converted from developed dendrite into near-spherical or rosette structure. Primary phase in the alloy is increasingly spheroidized with decreasing in cooling rate,meanwhile,with increasing in pulse voltage,the grain size in the alloy is refined gradually,and yield strength and tensile strength of the alloy are improved,however,the obvious change of plasticity can not be observed. With voltage of 400V,yield strength and tensile strength of the alloy are increased by 9% and 19%,respectively,compared with those of ones without low-voltage electric current pulse.

摘要:Wear resistance of TiN coating prepared by multi-arc ion plating on ZL109 aluminum alloy surface has been examined. The results show that wear resistance of the ZL109 aluminum alloy with multi-arc ion plating TiN coating can be significantly improved. With applying 1N and wearing for 90min,the abrasive width of the samples without TiN coating makes approximately 2 times of that with TiN coating,and average frictional coefficient of the samples with TiN coating makes approximately 50% of that without coating. With applying 2N,the morphology and abrasive width are varied as time increases. The wear morphology of the ZL109 alloy samples with TiN coating is characterized by adhesive abrasion in early stage and by abrasive abrasion in last stage.

摘要:A two-dimensional meso-scale cellular automaton model was developed to simulate the transformation of austenite to ferrite in 15SiMn steel. The simulated results show that,at a given isothermal temperature,the average growth rate of ferrite is decreased gradually during the austenite transformation. With the ferrite growth rate decreasing to zero,the carbon concentration in the austenite at the interface reaches equilibrium carbon concentration of 0.52395%. In addition,the morphology of ferrite grains on austenite boundary exhibits ellipsoidal,which is attributed to carbon diffusion and movement of austenite-ferrite interface higher in the austenite boundaries than that in austenite interiors.

摘要:Effects of multi-artificial aging on mechanical properties of low pressure casting A356.2 aluminum alloy wheel were investigated. The results show that tensile strength,yield strength and hardness are slightly improved,however,the elongation is decreased in multi-artificial aging alloy. The fluctuating amplification of mechanical properties is weakened with increasing in artificial aging times,so the microstructure tends to stable. After T6 heat treatment,although coarse grain size in A356.2 alloy can affect the Absence of yield strength and hardness,it can decrease tensile strength and elongation of the alloy wheel. The results show that with multi-artificial aging,the strength and hardness of the A356.2 aluminum alloy wheel are increased with the decrease of elongation and the stability of properties. However,the elongation of the alloy is deteriorated with increase in grain size in A356.2 aluminum alloy in low pressure casting.

摘要:We have developed a set of pressurization solidification experimental apparatus to examine the effects of varied pressures and pressurization rate on mechanical properties of lost foam casting ZL101 aluminum alloy components. The results show that with increasing in applied pressure,the density and mechanical properties of the lost foam casting ZL101 alloy components are improved gradually,and porosity rate in the castings is greatly decreased,meanwhile,the mechanical properties of the castings exhibit slightly increasing tendency. With a fixed pressure,the density and properties of the casting are closely related to the pressurization rates. The lost foam casting ZL101 alloy components exhibit desirable performance at pressurization rate of 0.003 MPa0.03 MPa. In addition,corrosion resistance of the alloy components is further improved as a result of the increase of density and decrease of pin-hole defects in the components at pressurization solidification.

摘要:Effects of cryogenic treatment and its cycles on mechanical properties of the 38%SiCp/A356 MMCs (metal matrix composites) which was prepared by stirring-casting method were tested. The results reveal that yield strength and tensile strength of the MMCs are improved by approximately 10% after cryogenic treatment,however,the distinct effects of cycles on mechanical properties can not be observed. Microstructural observation and the EDAX analysis show that the precipitation of Si phase and other super-micro-second phase can be observed in process of cryogenic treatment. Fracture morphology shows that the fracture mechanism of the MMCs is characterized by cleavage crack of SiCp coupled with tearing of matrix due to the occurrence of regular cleavage face in process of crack.
摘要:Al2O3 ceramic-lined composite gun for coal-dust-injection produced by combustion synthesis method exhibited low service life as a result of low ductility and low thermal shock resistance of Al2O3 ceramic-lined layer. The ceramic-lined curved composite gun for coal-dust-injection with high strength and ductility can be produced successfully by introducing ZrO2 into (CrO3 +Al) system based on SHS gravitational separation method,in which ceramic-lined layer consists of eutectic Al2O3-ZrO2 composite ceramics. ZrO2 fiber with nano-micron size in diameters can enhance the ceramic matrix,and rod-like eutectic structure with orientation growth can improve the toughness of the ceramics as a result of rod-like eutectic grain bridge and pull-out,which can effectively improve the elevated strength and wear resistance of ceramic lined layer,so the service life of coal-dust-injection gun is greatly improved.

摘要:Mo-Cu alloy,containing different Co contents were prepared by mechanical alloying method. Density,hardness,electric conductivity,thermal conductivity,thermal expansion coefficient and microstructure of the prepared Mo-Cu alloy were tested and observed to understand effects of Co element on densification and microstructure as well as properties of the alloy. The results show that the inert-phase Co7Mo6 is created between Co and Mo,Cu element,which is beneficial to the decrease of densification temperature,and the relative density of the Mo-Cu alloy reaches 97.7% with sintering at 1250℃. With increasing in Co element,the hardness of the Mo-Cu alloy is increased with the observed decrease of electric conductivity and thermal conductivity,however,the thermal expansion coefficient shows the slight fluctuation,which is near to that of Al2O3 ceramics. In addition,the microstructure of the Mo-Cu alloy exhibits homogeneous fine network structure.
