摘要:CuCr alloy was prepared with CuO,Cr2O3 and Al as reactants by SHS,and effects of different additives on the microstructure and purity of alloy prepared were investigated. The results reveal that the alloy is composed of Cu phase,Cr phase and a little Cr23C6 phase,and slag consists of Al2O3 and Na3AlF6 as well as a little Cr phase. Cr existence shows the dis-ideal separation effects of metal from slag. With increasing in Na3AlF6 addition,microstructure of the alloy exhibits uniform and compact as a result of effectively removing oxides inclusion in the CuCr alloy,meanwhile,oxygen content in the alloy is decreased with increasing in residual Al content,and purity of the alloy is more than 97%.
摘要:Mechanical properties and deformation behavior of sprayed-deposited SiCp/7090Al composites rolling sheet were investigated by uniaxial tensile testing on WDW-E200 tensile tester at ambient temperature and 300450 ℃ with stain rate of 0.1s-1. Meanwhile,microstructure,mechanical properties and fractographies of the composites at different tensile temperatures were also observed. The results show that tensile flow stress in the composites sheet is decreased with increasing in deformation temperature. In addition,interface of Al/SiC is weakened and particle breakage is reduced with tensile temperature increase,while the elongation of the composites is increased from 3.0% to 85.07%.
摘要:During the actual casting process,the heat resistance exists at the interface of casting/mold because of air gap or coatings. Boundary conditions at the interface are changed with temperatures to result in complex heat transfer,which influences the solidification and cooling rate remarkably. Interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC)is a key parameter used to characterize the heat resistance between the castings and the mold. During the numerical simulation of solidification,the IHTC is an important boundary condition. A new method was presented to determine the equivalent IHTC at the castings/mold interface during solidification based on deducting the solvent. A simple shaped part was used as benchmark. Different constants of IHTC were used to simulate the temperature curves,which were compared with the actual temperature curves,when the former is nearly to the later,then the coefficient was regarded as the equivalent IHTC at the castings/mold interface. The blade with different thickness was used to conduct verification experiment. The results reveal that the method is simple,convenient and feasible,exhibiting a wide engineering application prospect.
摘要:Background around bubbles exhibits very complex due to the characteristics of very easy oxidation and ignition of the alloy melt. The wavelet analysis in differential scale was employed to keep track of time and frequency information of character signal. With the scale zooming out,true signal was enhanced and noise was weakened. Existence of the first bubble was effectively detected based on wavelet analysis in differential scale combining with open operation of mathematic morphology according to difference of target,disturbed background and noise. The results verify that the method is feasible and effective.
摘要:Effects of Ca and Si compound alloying on as-cast microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy were analyzed by optical microscope (OM),SEM (scanning electron microscope),XRD (X-ray diffraction) and EDS (energy dispersive spectrometer). It is found that Ca element exists in the AZ31 magnesium in form of solid solution phase,and Si element is irrelative with the distribution of Ca in the alloy. Mg2Si phase is created by Si reacting with Mg,meanwhile,Mg17Al12 phase distributed along boundary is gradually converted into particle and acicular phase dispersedly distributes around boundary or in the grain. With increasing in Si addition,partial particles become coarse,and Chinese script Mg2Si phase appears in the matrix alloy. The desirable as-cast microstructure of the alloy can be observed with 0.3% Ca and 0.4% Si compound addition.
摘要:ZA20 coatings were prepared on the surface of AK63 magnesium alloys by cold spraying method. Microstructure of interface between cold sprayed coatings and magnesium alloy matrix was observed by OM (optical microscope),EMP and EDX. Hardness,bonding strength and wear resistance,corrosion behavior of the samples before and after cold sprayed treatment were investigated. The results reveal that absence of diffusion between matrix alloy and coating and of defects in interface,such as crack,pore and separation,can be observed,showing desirable interface bonding. The hardness of the coating is approximately higher 3 times than that of the alloy substrate. In addition,wear resistance of the magnesium alloy after cold sprayed ZA20 coating is greatly superior to that of magnesium alloy matrix in condition of dry friction or oil lubrication. Self-erosion potential of cold sprayed samples (-0.26V) is far higher than that of magnesium alloy matrix(-1.62V),leading to in the significant improvement of corrosion resistance.
摘要:Influence of inlet velocity and pouring temperature of the metal melt on flow field in the copper stave in metal-sand molds was simulated using a finite element software ANSYS. The results reveal that obvious disturbance on the curves of filling velocities can be observed in condition of lower inlet velocities,such as 0.3 m/s and 0.8m/s,while absence of disturbance on the filling velocity curves can be observed with inlet velocity of 1.0 m/s,exhibiting smooth filling process,which can be used for the recommended value of pouring parameters during practical production. Varied-viscosity was adopted in the numerical simulation to predict the effects of pouring temperature on filling velocities. It is found that with increasing in pouring temperature,the filling velocity of metal melt is obviously accelerated,which is beneficial for obtaining larger velocity gradient.

摘要:Semi-solid Al-6Si-2Mg alloy billets with fine spherical grains were prepared by self-developed vibrating wave-like sloping plate device,and effects of different reheating processes on microstructure of the billets were observed. The results reveal that solute diffusion is accelerated,and liquid region near grain boundary tends to be continuous and liquid fraction rises with increasing in holding temperature at a given holding time. Due to the role of interface free energy,average grain size exhibits firstly increase and then decrease,meanwhile,average grain roundness and density show gradually decrease. At a given holding temperature,with extending in holding time,eutectic liquid phase is increasingly raised to be formed a continuous liquid network to separate the grain. To decrease interface free energy,grain size exhibits firstly increase and then decrease,while grain roundness is decreased with raising in liquid fraction. Desirable semi-solid slurry with spherical grain suspending on liquid phase can be obtained with holing at 610 ℃ for 60 min.

摘要:Thermal simulation compressive experiment was conducted for semi-solid 6063 aluminum alloy billets which was prepared by near-liquidus semi-continuous casting. Based on stress-strain curves at varied temperatures and strain rates,inverse-squeezing process of the semi-solid 6063 aluminum alloy was simulated by the Deform-3D software at 615625 ℃ with strain rate of 0.15s-1 and 60% deformation rate to understand effects of deformation rate,deformation temperature,punch velocity and frictional coefficient and to optimize the processing parameters. The results reveal that with increasing in deformation rates,flow velocity and flow orientation of the alloy in severe deformation zone are distinctly changed,meanwhile,light deformation zone is gradually evolved,which results in the remarkable non-uniformity of deformation. With raising in punch velocity,flow velocity of the billets is accelerated,which is harmful for the formation as a result of aggravating non-uniformity of the whole deformation process. With deformation temperature increase,equivalent strain of the billets in severe deformation zone is obviously increased,while equivalent stress in the billets is decreased. Effects of frictional states on the deformation of billets can be neglected.
摘要:Semi-solid alloy melt with different primary structure was prepared by inclined cooling-shearing rheocasting,and spiral samples were made by semi-solid squeezing casting. Characteristic parameters,such as solid phase fraction,grain size and shape factor,of primary phase structure and spiral sample at different filling length were investigated by quantitative metallographic technique to understand effects of filling pressure and filling velocity on primary structure of the semi-solid alloy melt during filling process.

摘要:Service life of H13 and 3Cr2W8V hot working tool steel in die casting pure copper was analyzed. H13 steel mould and 3Cr2W8V steel mould are failure in die casting pure copper as a result of high temperature resulting in the occurrence of thermal fatigue crack with large size,so their service life in the die casting pure alloy is far lower than those in die casting aluminum alloy. Although service life of H13 steel is superior to that of 3Cr2W8V steel,it only reaches up to 160 cycles.

The results reveal that it is still difficult to prevent the coating from oxidation and nitridation in Ar atmosphere,so it is necessary for the preparation of a dense coating in low pressure. In addition,the role of deformation plus recrystallization treatment in the boundary among sprayed particles was described. Meanwhile,corrosion resistance of the coating was examined.
摘要:Brown ceramic oxide coatings were prepared on AZ91D magnesium alloys by micro-arc oxidation,and effects of different NaVO3 concentration on the color,microstructure and properties of the coatings were investigated. The results reveal that with increasing in NaVO3 concentration,growth rate of the oxidation coatings is increased,and corrosion resistance of the coating exhibits firstly increase and then decrease,meanwhile,the color of the coatings becomes dark brown gradually. However,excessive NaVO3 concentration is harmful for the micro-oxidation process. EPMA analysis shows that the coating is mainly contained Mg,Al,V,O and little P element,and absence of the phase containing P element can be observed in the XRD,which is attributed to little P content in the coating and thin coatings resulting in the little deposition containing P phase.
摘要:Solidification structure of cast AL-25Si-xFe-yMn alloy was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope),EDX and XRD,where Mn/Fe in weight ratio is in range of 01. The results show that Mn can greatly refine microstructure of the alloy as a result of creation of α-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2 phase substituting for acicular δ-Al4FeSi2 and β-Al3FeSi phase. In addition,with increasing in Fe/Mn weight ratio,α-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2 phase is increased and acicular phase is decreased. When Fe/Mn weight ratio is 1,α-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2 phase is observed in the alloy only.

Observation of tensile fracture morphology shows that tearing strips and dimples much occurs in the fracture of Al-20Si alloy treated by high intensity ultrasonic treatment,characterized by mixed fracture of brittle and toughness crack.
摘要:Microstructure and properties of Mg-6Zn ribbons with different Ca addition prepared by two-roll rapid solidification were investigated by OM,SEM,XRD and DSC as well as micro-hardness tester. The results indicate that besides rapid solidification can greatly refine primary phase and secondary phase,Ca can give a help for refining further microstructure of the alloy too. The microstructure of the rapidly solidified Mg-6Zn alloy ribbons are composed of supersaturated α-Mg,Mg51Zn20 phase and a little Mg2Zn3 and MgZn2 phase. With increasing in Ca addition,Mg2Ca,Ca2Mg6Zn3 and MgZn2 phase are gradually increased with the decrease of Mg2Zn3 and Mg51Zn20 phase,which is beneficial to improving the thermal stability of the alloy.
