摘要:Interfacial reactive layers between Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb-xTiB2 alloys and Al2O3 ceramic molds were fabricated.With the help of SEM(scanning electron microscope),EDS(energy dispersive spectrum),XRD(X-ray diffraction)and micro-hardness measurements,interfacial reactive behaviors between three kinds of TiAl based alloys and Al2O3 ceramic molds were analyzed comparatively.The results reveal that the interfacial reaction of TiAl alloy melt with Al2O3 ceramic molds can be effectively relieved by adding TiB2.The interfacial reactive mechanism was characterized by an imbalanced diffusive chemical reaction,and the corresponding reaction model is established.

摘要:Deformation behavior of carbon nano-tubes reinforced magnesium matrix composites was simulated by a simplified model based on the FEM(finite element method)to understand the strain and stress distribution in the matrix and reinforcement as well as effects of interface on mechanical properties of the composites,and stress transferring and fracture mechanism of carbon nao-tubes with the magnesium matrix alloy were expounded.The results reveal that the whole carbon nano-tube exhibits homogeneous stress distribution,however,the stress aggregation occurs in interface at axial direction to some extent.Remarkable stress aggregation can be observed in the contacted location of two-end face of matrix with carbon nao-tubes,where stress distribution exhibits flamboyance,decreasing from the center to the outer,while the stress distribution in the other location of the matrix alloy is very homogeneous.The fracture of the composites begins at the interface,and the fracture mechanism is characterized by interfacial debonding,which is accordant with the experimental ones.

摘要:There exists coarse skeleton-like Ni2Si phase and serious dendrite segregation in as-cast microstructure of Cu-3Si-2Ni alloy,which greatly deteriorates the formation behavior of the ingot.Homogenizing annealing treatment was conducted to improve the formation ability of the alloy at 850950℃ for 28 h.The results indicate that plasticity of the alloy is significantly improved as a result of the elimination of major dendrite segregation in the as-cast alloy after homogenizing annealing at 900℃ for 4 h.Meanwhile,fracture mechanism of the alloy is characterized by from quasi-cleavage fracture combining with partial shearing fracture at as-cast state into micro-hole concentrating ductile fracture at homogenizing annealing state.

摘要:TiB2 particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites were synthesized by in-situ reaction,and the formation mechanism of reinforcement in the composites was analyzed by XRD(X-ray diffraction),and three key factors influencing solidification process were analyzed by measuring solidified dynamic curves of the composites,meanwhile,tensile behavior of the composites was observed by the SEM(scanning electron microscope).The chemical reactive formula is described as 3TiO2 +10Al+3B2O3→5Al2O3 +3TiB2 with molar ratio of 1 of TiO2 via B2O3.The solidification process is mainly controlled by distribution of particles in the matrix,molar ratio of TiO2 via B2O3 and reactive temperature.The strengthening mechanism is characterized by dispersed enhancing from TiB2 particle and fine-grain enhancing resulting form TiB2 as nuclei substrate.Fracture mechanism of the composites is characterized by micro-hole concentrating toughening failure from TiB2 particle pulled out.

摘要:Behaviors of cyclic stress response and cyclic deformation,fatigue life as well as fracture mechanism were identified for as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy through total-strain-amplitude controlled fatigue testing and analysis on fracture surface of fatigued specimens.The results indicate that the as-extruded AZ31 alloy exhibits significant cyclic strain hardening and stretch-compression asymmetry in cyclic deformation,and the relationship between elastic strain amplitude,plastic strain amplitude and reversal to failure can be described by the Basquin and Coffin-Manson equations,respectively.In addition,it is found that fatigue cracks are generated and propagated in a transgranular mode.
摘要:Taking a coupling flange as an example,we described design processes from parts,castings to casting mould on the basis of the Pro/E software.The part modeling should take various processing modelings into account during product design,especially a certain sequence and some kills followed in the parts and three-dimensional modeling process in order to ensure the design of the castings and casting mould smoothly.Processing model should be firstly constructed before modeling the casting mould,in which some technological parameters such as core print and drafting angle are set.Then process model was used to separate the outer mould from the core print,which could decrease the potential errors during individual modeling,improving the precision of the mould and shortening the market period of the product.

摘要:The substitution of die casting magnesium alloy for aluminum alloy in wheel products and its measures were analyzed by taking transmission pulley as a sample.Based on the analysis of service life and failure conditions,the structure of magnesium alloy transmission pulley was redesigned by the stress analysis of the original structure and topologic optimization analysis.The results reveal that service stress of the optimized magnesium alloy transmission pulley is decreased from 40.5MPa to 24.7MPa,greatly lower than ultimate fatigue strength.In addition,the absence of die casting defects in the pulley can be observed due to the realization of sequential solidification during filling process.Compared with those of aluminum alloy ones,the weight and cost of magnesium alloy transmission pulley are decreased by 43.8% and by 34.5%,respectively.

摘要:Semi-solid slurry preparation technologies and mechanism of microstructure formation were surveyed.A novel method for semi-solid slurry preparation that is self-inoculation method(SIM)was presented,in which self-inoculator(the same composition to that of the alloy melt)was introduced into the melt,and then the melt was poured into a fluid director for further inoculation.Solid-liquid mixed slurry with non-dendritic primary phase can be obtained by controlling alloy melt temperature and partial under-cooling to create amounts of nuclei,and by nucleating with self-inoculation nuclei to generate nuclei with a small critical radius for grain growth based on local under-cooling,flow scouring which enhanced self-inoculation effects and promoted grain multipilication and inhibited grain growth.AM60 alloy was used to conduct series of experiments.The results reveal that semi-solid slurry with approximately 51μm in average size,uniform and non-dendritic primary phase is observed with 11% self-inoculator addition after the melt is processed by SIM at 650℃.

摘要:Thixo-compression behavior and microstructure of SiCp/Al alloy matrix composites were investigated with the help of Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator under different deformation temperatures and different deformation rates.It is found that,with increasing in strain,compressive stress of the composites is firstly increased rapidly,then decreased rapidly,and at last increased slowly.In addition,with decreasing in deformation temperature or increasing in deformation rates,compressive stress is increased in semi-solid composites.After compressive deformation,more small SiC particles with average size less than 20μm and approximately 55% in volumetric fraction are mainly not distributed in severe deformation zone but in free deformation zone,which shows that high SiC zone can be created from separation of liquid-solid phase by semi-solid thixo-compression,meeting the requirements of electronic package materials.

摘要:Effects of Cr on microstructure and precipitation process of Mg-10Zn-2Al-1Cu alloy were investigated by SEM(scanning electron microscope)and XRD(X-ray diffraction).It is found that Cr can refine the microstructure of the alloy by partly brokening the network structure of β-Mg17Al12 phase,resulting in the dispersed precipitation of ternary τ-Mg32(Al,Zn)49,AlMg4Zn11,CeCuAl3 phases and Al4Cu9 particle and creation of CrSb2 phase.Evolution of microstructure of the alloy during aging deposition is as follows:supersaturated solid solution→segregation of solute atoms→an vermiculate orderly distributed phase→the transition phase→(short)rod-shaped or granular stability.Cr can accelerate atomic segregation and nucleation rate at early aging and increase the stability of precipitates as well as inhibiting the growth of precipitates at latter aging.
