摘要:With the help of the HYSCAN Ⅱ apparatus to measure hydrogen content in every experimented melt,effects and mechanism of ultrasonic vibration with varied frequency on the degassing process of commercial pure Al(99.7% in weight)and 7050 aluminum alloy melt were investigated by introducing ultrasonic in different temperature ranges.The results reveal that hydrogen content in the melt is evidently decreased after ultrasonic treatment.Hydrogen content in the melt is increased with rising in temperature.When melt temperature is located at 660~720℃,degassing effects are increasingly improved with decreasing in temperature,however,degassing efficiency is almost independent of the melt temperature.At fixed power and temperature,degassing effects and efficiency with 15Hz are obviously superior to those with 20Hz.The ultrasonic cavitation plays an important role in generating plenty of cavitation bubbles,furthermore,frequency exhibits a decisive role in cavitation bubble growth and in diffusion of hydrogen in melt.

摘要:There exists white-crack segregation in partly differential pressure casting ZL201 Aalloy housings.Microstructure of the housing with white-crack segregation was observed,and chemical composition was examined by EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer) and XRD(X-ray diffraction).The results reveal that segregation in the housing mainly contains Cu and Ti.The creation of segregation is attributed to difficulty in feeding at thin-thick transition location resulting in the larger thermal stress.White-crack segregation is mainly contained Cu element.Meanwhile,there exists Ti segregation zone in some location of alloy as a result of heterogeneous stirring during melting process,which is responsible for the generation of segregation too.Through improving melting process and controlling pouring process,the segregation can be effectively eliminated,including using desirable master alloy,reducing the usage of recycled alloy,strengthening stirring and rationally increasing pouring temperature as well as improving gating system.
