摘要:Zr50.5Al9Ni13.05Cu27.45 metallic glass matrix composites containing in-situ martensite CuZr phase were prepared by copper mould injection method to improve the deformation ability of bulk metallic glass.Microstructure,thermal behavior,compressive behavior and fracture morphology of the metallic glass composites with different diameters were analyzed by Xray diffraction(XRD),TEM(transmission electron microscope),DSC(differential scanning calorimetry),material testing system and SEM(scanning electron microscope).The results reveal that,with increasing in diameter of the alloy and decreasing in cooling rate,mechanical properties of the bulk metallic glass composites are improved as a result of particle martensite CuZr phase as secondary phase precipitated from the amorphous matrix,where compressive strength and strain reach up to approximately 2190MPa and 8%,respectively,which are attributed to numerous coherent twin boundaries in the CuZr phase effectively restraining localization propagation of shearing band and inducing the seeding and branching of multiple shearing band to delay the generation and propagation of cracks.
摘要:Effects of cryogenic treatment,pre-annealing cycling treatment and cryogenic-pre-annealing cycling treatment on the microstructure and crystalline phase precipitation in Fe-based amorphous alloy were investigated by DSC(differential scanning calorimetry),TEM(transmission electron microscope)and SEM(scanning electron microscope).The results reveal that crystallization parameters,such as Tgand Tx,of amorphous alloy are changed by cycling treatment,and the enthalpy relaxation peak appears in the DSC testing curves.The samples pre-treated still remain to be amorphous with the precipitation of nano-crystalline phase.The pre-treatment can result in the mergence and size increase of clusters,leading to the formation of grape-like structure of cluster in amorphous alloy.Besides,different types and scales of crystalline phase precipitation are observed in the amorphous alloy pre-treated.It is believed that the pre-treatment method leads to the formation of new cluster and the mergence and growth of clusters by element diffusion,changing the crystallization thermo-dynamics and crystallization kinetics of amorphous alloy.

摘要:Microstructure evolution and phase constituent of as-cast and homogenized Al-9.1Zn-1.9Mg1.6Cu alloy were investigated by means of optical microscope(OM),SEM(scanning electron microscope),EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer)and XRD(X-ray diffraction)and DSC(differential scanning calorimeter).The results reveal that a lot of nonequilibrium low-melting eutectic phase exist in the ascast microstructure of the alloy,and initial melting temperature reaches 475℃.As-cast microstructure is composed ofα-Al phase,η-MgZn2phase and minor Al7Cu2Fe phase.The alloy is totally composed ofα-Al phase after homogenized at above 460℃,which shows that the non-equilibrium low-melting eutectic phase can dissolve into the matrix entirely.Desirable effects of the alloy can be observed with homogenizing at 465℃for 24hours.

摘要:Semi-solid A356aluminum alloy slurry was prepared by a serpentine channel,and the slurry was heated for a short time by an induction heating system and then finally quenched in water to observe effects of short-time electromagnetic heating on temperature and microstructure of the slurry.The results reveal that temperature difference between the inner slurry and periphery slurry can be decreased greatly through short-term induction heating process,reaching the range of±1℃,fulling meeting the requirements of rheo-forming.Meanwhile,primaryα-Al phase becomes more spherical with the coarseness of grain size.Heating power has some effects on microstructure of the slurry when heating power is in range of 1.6~3.6kW,with increasing in heating power,heating time is shortened and primaryα-Al phase is refined.The slurry temperature has also somewhat effects on the slurry microstructure.When the temperature is in range of 595~608℃,with decreasing in temperature,the primaryα-Al phase is refined.

摘要:The Cu-1.0Cr alloy was hot forged,solid solution-treated and cold rolled as well as subjected to aging treatment at different temperature for different time.Hardness and electrical conductivity of the alloy at different states were measured and microstructure was observed.The results reveal that at 380℃,hardness and electrical conductivity are increased with extending in aging time,while at 450℃,with extending in aging time,hardness is obviously decreased,however,electrical conductivity keeps stable.At given experimental conditions,hardness and electrical conductivity of the alloy with aging at 450℃ for 6hours reach up to 127HB and 40.08MS/m.Secondary disperoid in the Cu matrix can be observed in the alloy after thermo-mechanical treatment,which is responsible for the raise of hardness and electrical conductivity.Recrystallization appears in the alloy with increasing in aging temperature and aging time,which results in the great decrease of hardness at 450℃.
摘要:TiB2/Al-4.5Cu composites were prepared by mixed salt reaction in-situ synthesis process,and friction and wear properties of the composites were investigated.Microstructure of the composites was observed by XRD(X-ray diffraction)and SEM(scanning electron microscope).The results reveal that in-situ TiB2particle with fine grain size in range of 0.1~1.5 μm and average size of 400nm is uniformly distributed along grain boundary,obviously refining the microstructure of the composites.Dry sliding frictional and wear experiment at room temperature shows that wear resistance of the composites is evidently superior to that of matrix alloy.Wear mechanism of matrix alloy is characterized by adhesive wear,and wear mechanism of the composites is characterized by co-action of abrasive wear with slight adhesive wear.

摘要:Effects of deformation temperature,strain rate and strain on microstructure of Ti8LC alloy were investigated by thermal simulation testing.The results indicate that microstructure and properties of the alloy are closely related to the deformation temperature.The alloy is composed of two-state structure with better comprehensive properties with temperature lower than 1000℃,while it is composed of lamellar structure with a higher strength and a lower elongation with temperature more than 1000℃.Based on considering the deformation forces during formation,strain rate of the alloy should keep a rational range.Meanwhile,with 40%~60%deformation rate,alloy exhibits acceptable properties and microstructure.

摘要:Existing morphology and precipitate characteristics of RE Er in as-cast,as-homogenized and cold rolled Al-4.7Mg-0.7Mn-0.1Zr-0.3Er alloy were observed by SEM(scanning electron microscope),TEM(transmission electron microscope).The results show that in non-equilibrium solidification condition,minor Er existed in theα-Al solid solution,while major Er is continuously or die-continuously distributed on the grain boundary in form of primary Al3Er phase.Although Er is likely to segregate with Mn and Fe,it is difficult to generate Er-Mn intermetallic compound.Solid solution Er can be precipitated from the alloy in form of sub-Al3Er phase during homogenization annealing process.In addition,continuous or dis-continuous Al3Er phase distributed on the grain boundary would not be decomposed and resolved in subsequently heat treatment,and they are broken during hot rolled or cold rolled process.The dispersely distributed Al3Er phase in the cold rolled plate exhibits desirable coherent/semi-coherent with the matrix,which could be acted as effective strengthening phase in the alloy.
摘要:Influence of extrusion temperature and extrusion ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the spray-formed alloy which was extruded on 2000kN four column hydraulic press was investigated,and fracture mechanism of extruded alloy was analyzed,meanwhile,mechanical properties of as-cast and spray-formed alloy after extrusion were comparatively analyzed.The results reveal that at an extrusion ratio of 6.25,with increasing in temperature,number of recrystallized grain in the sample are increased to involve into fine and uniform equiaxed grain at 250℃,meanwhile,hardness and tensile strength of the alloy is decreased,while elongation is increased.At a temperature of 250℃,grain size in the alloy is refined,and elongation and tensile strength are increased with increasing in extrusion ratio,however,hardness of the alloy is almost independent of the change of extrusion ratio.Fracture of extruded alloy is characterized by micro-void coalescence mode.Tensile strength and elongation of the spray-formed and extruded alloy are obviously superior to those of as-cast and extruded ones.
