摘要:Influence of magnetic stirring on the solidification structure and segregation behavior of Ti-1023 alloy during VAR steady state melting process was analyzed by SEM (scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and chemical composition analysis. The results reveal that equiaxed grain zone mainly contains acicular and lamellar α structure, while columnar grain zone is mainly composed of equiaxed grain α structure. Fe element content is gradually increased in both equiaxed and columnar grains along the grain growth direction, and the segregation rate of Fe element is more serious in equiaxed grain than that in columnar grain. The segregation rate of Fe element is decreased in both equiaxed and columnar grains with magnetic stirring, and macro-segregation of Fe element in the ingot is decreased, which is closely related to the formation of β phase in the alloy.
摘要:Relevant thermodynamic parameters of homogeneous nucleation in aluminothermic reaction prepared bulky nano-crystalline Fe3Al and average grain size in the alloy at different conditions were calculated by C language, and verification experiment was conducted. The results show that at a steady nucleation rate, the growth rate of Fe3Al alloy is increased with increasing in under-cooling rate. Average grain size of Fe3Al exhibits nano-grain with under-cooling rate more than 330 K, and it is gradually decreased towards steady value of approximately 37 nm with increasing in under-cooling rate, which is well in agreement with experimental ones.

摘要:Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of rolled Mg-4Zn-0.5Er-1Y alloy sheets with annealing at 200380℃ for 0.54 h were investigated. It is found that distinct dynamic recrystallization grain with fine size can be observed in the annealed alloy sheets. Amounts of secondary phase containing RE exist in the matrix alloy, which are broken into fine particle after hot rolling to promote the heterogeneous nucleation of dynamic recrystallization grain. Strength of the alloy sheet after annealing treatment is decreased with the obvious improvement of plasticity. The alloy sheet with approximately 8 μm in size exhibits desirable mechanical properties with annealing at 350℃ for half hour, such as tensile strength of 276MPa and elongation of 22.5%. Activation energy of grain boundary migration reaches 22.76kJ/mol. In addition, kinetics model of dynamic recrystallization grain growth was established.
摘要:Preparation of semi-solid AZ91D-3Ca magnesium alloy under low voltage pulsed magnetic field was conducted, and effects of pre-heating temperature of mould and pouring temperature on morphology of primary phase in the alloy were investigated. The results show that, through controlling cooling rate of the alloy, semi-solid AZ91D-3Ca magnesium alloy billets with rosette structure primary phase can be prepared successfully by low voltage pulsed magnetic field. Under low voltage pulsed magnetic field, with increasing in preheating temperature of mould and decreasing in pouring temperature, primary phase dendrites are degraded gradually. Primary phase can be changed from well-developed dendrite to rosette structure under low voltage pulsed magnetic field with only high preheating temperature of the mould or lower pouring temperature.

摘要:High temperature oxidation behavior of nano-crystalline copper synthesized by electric brush-plating at 500℃was observed in 0.1MPa pure oxygen by thermal balance, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results reveal that the oxidation resistance of the prepared nano-copper at high temperature is remarkably lower than that of commercial pure copper.
摘要:W/Cu PFC was prepared by plasma spraying technology, and the heat flux of tungsten coating with different compliant layers was investigated. The results show that although the compliant layers of W-Cu, Ti and NiCrAl can increase the maximum surface temperature of W/Cu PFC, absence of damage can be observed in both surface and cross section of the PFC at 10MW/m2 thermal loading, while micro-crack can be observed in the surface layer of the PFC without compliant layers at 7.5MW/m2. The results verify that compliant layer can effectively improve the heat flux performance of W/Cu PFC.

摘要:Effects of different heat treatment conditions on microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-5.5Zn-1.7Nf-0.7Cd-0.5Zr magnesium alloy were investigated by OM (optical microscope) and TEM (transmission electron microscope). The results indicate that ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of as-extruded alloy are superior to those of T6 treated ones (solid solution at 420℃ for 20 hours and aging at 200℃ for 20 hours), while it is lower than those of T5 treated ones (aging at 120℃ for 15 hours). Desirable mechanical properties of the T5 treated alloy can be observed, where tensile strength and yield strength as well as elongation reach 349MPa, 315MPa and 13%, respectively.

摘要:The interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) between castings and metal mold during solidification process was calculated through coupling numerical simulation with simulated annealing algorithm based on Isight platform by help of tested temperature data from A356 aluminum alloy. Meanwhile, interface input between the Isight and the ProCAST was resolved successfully. Uniform-step was used to calculate post-treated data, which was more matched with uniform time-step treated experimental data, Furthermore, it was convenient for calculating optimized goal. Through Isight platform integrating with ProCAST software, not only heat transfer coefficient with interface temperature or time can be accurately calculated, but also the method is used to optimize casting process and mould design.
摘要:With the aim at replacing the original steel supporter, modal analysis and its structure optimization of die casting magnesium alloy steering supporter were conducted. The results reveal that, compared to that of original steel supporter, the first six normal mode frequency of the magnesium alloy supporter is increased, and the relative vib-displacement is slightly reduced. However, the elastic modulus of magnesium alloy is remarkably lower than that of steel, so the local rigidity of magnesium alloy up-beam is lower than that of steel structure, which results in its first vibration deformation in corresponding to location larger than the original steel structure. Through optimizing the original magnesium alloy structure and improving the local rigidity of the up-beam, modal behavior of the magnesium alloy steering supporter can reach or partly exceed the original steel structure.

摘要:Impact abrasive wear behavior of thixo-injecting forming hypereutectic high Cr cast iron billets by conventional sand casting and by slope cooling semi-solid casting was analyzed. The results show that slurry fluidity is greatly decreased due to coarse rod-like carbides in conventional as-cast billets, which results in surface rough and internal shrinkage hole in thixo-injecting forming parts, meanwhile, matrix is obviously fragmented by coarse rod-like primary carbides, and the carbides are broken off during wear process, leading to the deterioration of wear resistance. Slurry exhibits acceptable fluidity during thixo-injecting forming process as a result of fine primary carbides in slope cooling semi-solid billets, which leads to smooth surface and low internal defects in the parts, meanwhile, primary carbides and eutectic carbides show fine and uniform, resulting in the low cutting role in matrix and uniformly surface wear, which are responsible for the improvement of wear resistance.

摘要:Effects of deformation temperature and strain rate on deformation behavior of semi-solid 6063 alloy were investigated on the Gleeble 3800 thermal-mechanical simulator at 615630℃ and 0.15s-1. The results show that flow stress of semi-solid aluminum alloy is decreased with increasing in deformation temperature and it is increased with increasing in strain rate. The deformation temperature and strain rate have the significant effects on the peak stress of 6063 alloy rather than steady flow stress. The natural logarithm of the sine equation of alloy flow stress and reciprocal of absolute temperature meets linear relationship, and relationship between flow stress and strain rate meets hyperbolic sine equation. On the basis of the experimental data from semi-solid 6063, a constitutive equation was established by means of the multi-variable regression to describe the relation between the processing parameters and flow stress. The model exhibits desirable precision by comparing calculated results with experimental ones.
摘要:With consideration of the viscosity of semi-solid aluminum alloy slurry and filling features, the die casting die for semi-solid aluminum alloy standard samples have been designed and manufactured, in which heating apparatus and ingate cross section with different sizes have been considered. Semi-solid die casting was conducted. The results reveal that without heating on semi-solid die casting die, liquid aluminum alloy can not completely fill cavity, resulting in occurrence of many casting defects. With heating on mould, castings exhibit desirable formability. In the range of cross-section, with increasing in ingate cross section, quality of the castings is improved.

摘要:Effects of processing parameters, such as slow shot speed, injection forces and pouring temperature, on porosities in die casting ADC12 aluminum alloy bracket were investigated. The results reveal that the lower first shot speed can decrease defects as a result of exhausting air slowly, meanwhile, when the first shot speed reaches 95L/min, defects can be decreased too. In addition, lower pouring temperature and proper injection pressure are beneficial for the decrease of porosities in the die casting bracket.

摘要:There exist three inserts on aluminum alloy bowl castings, and orientation of two inserts on the bowl wall was difficult. A practical mould structure for aluminum alloy bowl castings with three inserts was presented. A special insert orientation structure with spring was adopted in the mould, which not only met mould release of castings, but also ensured the accrualy and fixedness of the insert orientation. An ejector sleeve with more openings was adopted to shove the castings. The mould exhibits the features of compact structure, reliable operation and good forming quality as well as high product efficiency.

摘要:It is difficult to produce bottom hole in two bearings with 35 mm in diameters and 10 mm in length on the transmission shaft bracket by die casting due to its limit of die casting die structure, so the bottom hole was formed by machining operation, which resulted in the occurrence of large gas (shrinkage) hole in worked bearing. Aiming at the features of the bearing, gas (shrinkage) hole was decreased or eliminated by adopting coordinate-ingate and inlay.

摘要:By means of quantitative analysis, critical moving diameter and migration law of the gas bubble in the liquid metal were described theoretically in vertical centrifugal field, and equation of the critical moving diameter and movement velocity on the gas bubble was established and verified through the experiment. The results reveal that in vertical centrifugal field, the critical moving diameter is decreased with increasing in centrifugal angular velocity and radius. Movement velocity of the gas bubble is divided into the rising velocity and the centripetal velocity. With the gas bubble moving, both rising velocity and centripetal velocity are increased with the decrease of acceleration. When the resistance force is equal to the power, the acceleration is zero and the movement velocity reaches maximum value, then it is gradually reduced. The resultant movement velocity of the gas bubble is increased with increasing in the centrifugal angular velocity and radius. The higher the centrifugal angular velocity and radius, the more intensive the migration of gas bubble, so the porosity is more difficult to form. Finally, the experimental result is well in agreement with theoretical analysis.

摘要:Ceramic-lined steel pipes were prepared by centrifugal-SHS technology, and effects of 4% ZrO2+5%SiO2 and varied Na2B4O7 in thermite on microstructure and properties of composite steel pipe were investigated. XRD analysis shows that the ceramic layer is mainly composed of α-Al2O3, FeAl2O4, Al2SiO5 and ZrO2. OM observation verifies that grain is densely distributed on the surface of ceramic layer. SEM observation shows that there exists low porosity in the ceramic layer, and relative density reaches up to 96.8%. Mechanical properties of the composite steel pipe were tested by electron universal tester. The results show that crushing strength and shearing strength reach 394MPa and 23.14MPa, respectively.
摘要:Hardness (HRB) and wear resistance as well as microstructure under different conditions were investigated on as-cast, solid solution and solid solution +aging centrifugal casting particle reinforced Al-20Si-5Mg composites cylinder liner, which were also comparatively analyzed with those of cast iron cylinder liner for automobile and motorcycle. The results show that average hardness of particle reinforced Al-20Si-5Mg composites cylinder liner is lower than that of cast iron ones. However, with increasing in loading, under dry sliding condition, wear resistance of the composites cylinder liner at as-cast, solid solution and solid solution +aging state is apparently superior to that of cast iron ones, while under wet condition, with high loading, such as 300N and 400N, it is slightly better than that of cast iron ones.

摘要:AlSn20 coating was prepared on bearing alloy by non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering changing aluminum target current, and corrosion resistance of the prepared coating was quantitatively analyzed by impedance spectroscopy and the Tafel polarization curves, which was validated by agravity. Microstructure of coating surface was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope). The results reveal that, with 1.5A aluminum target current, AlSn20 coating can greatly improve the corrosion resistance of bearing alloy as a result of increasing electrochemical impedance to about 5 to 6 order of magnitude and self-corrosion potential to-1.12V. Corrosion resistance of AlSn20 coating is closely related to aluminum target current. With decreasing in aluminum target current, corrosion resistance of coating is improved increasingly.
摘要:Hydrogen storage alloys La0.83Mg0.1Ni3.25Al0.15Mn0.1 was prepared by induction melting and annealing and by melt spun. Effects of melt spun on the phase structure, microstructure and electrochemical properties of the alloy were investigated by XRD (X-ray diffraction), EPMA and electrochemical testing. The results reveal that, although effect of cooling rate on phase constituent in the alloy can be neglected, it greatly affected the abundance of different phases. With increasing in cooling rate, abundance of LaNi5 with CaCu5 type structure is increased, while abundance of LaNi3 phase with PuNi3 type structure is decreased. The microstructure of alloy prepared by melt spun is composed of columnar grain structure. In addition, activity of the alloy is almost independent of cooling rate. With increasing in cooling rate, maximum discharge capacity is decreased and cycling stability of the alloy is obviously improved, where S100 reaches 97.03% with cooling rate of 15 m/s.

摘要:Effects of different Si, Cu and Mg additions on electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of cast aluminum alloy were investigated by orthogonal testing. The results reveal that Si can improve tensile strength of the aluminum alloy, however, it can also deteriorate the electrical conductivity as a result of severely reducing effective conductive cross-section as a semi-conductor. Cu and Mg can increase the tensile strength of the alloy while they decrease electrical conductivity as a result of Cu and Mg solving in the aluminum matrix resulting in the increase of matrix lattice distortion and scattering rate of electron wave. Electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the T6 treated alloy are further improved, which is attributed to the homogeneous precipitation of Mg2Si, Al2Cu, CuMgAl2(S) and Q/W (AlxSi4Mg5Cu4) and the weakness of Si dissevering the matrix.
摘要:Effects of different Mn contents, such as 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0%, on the microstructure and electro-chemical properties of the Mg-Mn sacrificial anodes were investigated based on the Mg-Mn anodes with sound electro-chemical properties which were prepared by the highly purified raw magnesium. The results reveal that Mn can effectively reduce Fe content in the magnesium melts and improve the current efficiency of magnesium anodes, however, excessive Mn will decrease the current efficiency of the magnesium anodes due to forming a little secondary phase with Si, C, O as the cathode to promote the self-corrosion of the anodes. The matrix microstructure of the Mg-Mn alloy with different Mn contents is composed of α-Mg solid solution phase which exhibits coarse columnar grain with lower Mn content while it becomes equiaxed grain with increasing in Mn content. However, it shows slight change with excessive Mn content.

摘要:Effects of different special casting methods, such as semi-continuous casting, centrifugal casting and vacuum suction, on microstructure and properties of QA110-4-4 aluminum bronze were investigated by OM (optical microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction), tensile testing, SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDS (energy dispersive spectrometer). The results show that α phase, γ2 phase and K phase can be observed in the alloys prepared by three kinds of casting methods. In addition, a little metastable β′ phase can be observed in microstructure of vacuum suction alloy. Microstructure of vacuum suction alloy exhibits the finest and the most compactness, in which K phase is homogeneously distributed. Meanwhile, the highest microhardness and tensile strength as well as hardness can be obtained. Inner-outer microstructure of semi-continuous casting and centrifugal casting specimens become heterogeneous, in which K phase is partly agglomerated. Micro-hardness of centrifugal casting specimen exhibits periodically fluctuated from the edge to the heart. The peak hardness is increased nearby the edge.
