摘要:Vacuumming of die cavity is an effective way of producing quality castings free of defects associated with cavity gases.After an evaluation of the vacuuming behaviors of the vacuuming die casting technologies currently used in industry,it was pointed out that the dissatisfaction of current technologies steams from the commonly low vacuuming rate needed to effectively stop the melt flow from pennetrating into vacuuming system.In accordence with the vacuuming knetics of a die cavity,it is highlighted that an effective vacuuming relies on the kinetic response rate of the vacuuming system and the vacuum degree achieved before high speed die-filling in condition that the vacuuming channel could be effectively closed up.Enlarging the diameter and reducing the length of the vacuuming channel are the key criteria to a successful exhausting channel design.The application of a new type vacuuming system meeting the mentioned criteria was shown.

摘要:Solidification structure and crystal growth of the TiC-TiB2 fine-grained ceramics which was prepared by combustion synthesis under high gravity were investigated,and the relationship between microstructure and fracture behavior as well as toughening mechanism was analyzed by XRD(X-ray diffraction),FESEM(field emission scanning electron microscope) and EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer).The results show that the composite ceramics matrix is composed of a lot of fine TiB2 platelets and irregular TiC grain surrounded the TiB2 platelets.The formation of TiB2 platelets is resulted from faceted crystal growth while irregular TiC grains are the results of non-faceted crystal growth and high growth velocity.Relative density,Vickers hardness,bending strength and fracture toughness of the ceramics reach 98.6%,21.8 GPa,650MPa and 12.5 MPa·m1/2,respectively.Ceramic toughening mechanism is attributed to the co-operation of crack deflection,crack-bridging and pull-up by small-size TiB2 platelets and frictionally-interlocking in-situ toughening effects.

摘要:Effects of P-RE compound modification on tensile properties at room temperature and fracture morphology of hypereutectic Al-20Si alloy were investigated.The results show that both primary Si phase and eutectic Si phase in the Al-20Si alloy with P-RE modification are refined effectively,where primary Si is converted into the near-spherical structure,and eutectic Si phase is transformed into the particle or short rod-like one.Meanwhile,the size of the primary Si phase and eutectic phase is decreased from approximately 100 μm to 1015 μm and to lower than 1μm,respectively.Tensile strength of the alloy with P-RE modification is improved by approximately 100% compared with that of the matrix alloy.The fracture morphology of the alloy modified is composed of fine cleavage plane and tearing edge,dimple among the cleavage plane.In addition,plenty of dimple bands gathered in boundary among cleavage steps can be observed.
摘要:Inclusion content has the great effects on the mechanical properties of the steel.The steel ladle slag is the main way to introduce inclusion into steel,so it is the key problem to prevent and control slag process in continuous casting production.The mixture phase moving process of molten metal and slag particles in bottom pouring steel ladle of continuous casting have been simulated by discrete phase model.The moving path of thirty slag floating particles selected at random has been tracked.Two stages,surface layer converging stage and rapidly involving stage,have been simulated.The results show that,although the moving path of single particle exhibits random direction,the whole movement of the slag particle cluster exhibits statistics characteristics.Based on the mentioned results,effects of slag particle size and density on slag height and time in steel ladle were analyzed.Average slag height and time are closely related with the slag particle size,while effects of slag particle density can be ignored.

摘要:We have developed an interlacing type double power ultrasonic vibration heads equipment to treat A356 aluminum alloy melt to obtain semi-solid slurry.Effects of different pouring temperature and different inclined angle of flow runner as well as front and back arrangement of flow runner of ultrasonic transducer with 1000W and 1500W on microstructure of semi-solid A356 alloy slurry were investigated.The results show that obvious refinement of microstructure of A356 alloy can be observed by double ultrasonic vibration heads with inclined runner,however,refinement of microstructure of A356 alloy is changed with different inclined angles.The desirable primary phase size with desirable spheroidized effects can be obtained with vibrating at 620 ℃ and inclined angle of 40°.
摘要:The hypereutectic Al-17Si alloys containing 2%,3%,4%,5%Fe(Wt.%) were treated by direct ultrasonic vibration(USV) treatment.The microstructures of the alloys which were produced by conventional casting process and semi-solid forming with USV treatment were investigated by OM(optical microscope),XRD(x-ray diffraction),and EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer).The results reveal that a large amount of long needle-like β-Al5FeSi phase with a little plate-like δ-Al4FeSi2 phase can be observed in the as-cast Al-17Si alloy containing 2%Fe without USV treatment.With the increase of Fe content,the amount of long needle-like β-Al5FeSi phase is decreased gradually,and the plate-like δ-Al4FeSi2 phase is increased in the Al-17Si alloys.The coarse plate-like δ-Al4FeSi2 phase is dominant in Fe-rich phases in the Al-17Si alloy containing 5%Fe.The alloy melt with different Fe content was treated by USV near the liquidus temperature for a certain time,and then was poured into a permanent mold.The results indicate that blocky and short-rod δ-Al4FeSi2 phase is dominant in Fe-rich phases,and the average grain size of δ-Al4FeSi2 phase is refined to 1846μm,and a little needle-like β-Al5FeSi phase is remained.The mechanism of USV refining Fe-rich phase in the Al-17Si alloys was discussed.

摘要:The corrosion behavior of A380 and A360 alloy prepared by permanent mould casting was investigated,and its corrosion mechanism was approached.Corrosion rate of the alloys was measured by the immersion experiment in 3.5% NaCl solution.Meanwhile,morphology of corrosive product and the matrix were observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy.The corrosion mechanism was analyzed with the help of electrochemical polarization curves.The results reveal that the corrosion rate of the A360 alloy is lower than that of A380 alloy.Pitting erosion can be observed on both the A380 alloy and A360 alloy in 3.5%NaCl solution,and white-loccular corrosion product are distributed on the surface of the samples.However,the pitting erosion occurred in A380 alloy is more serious than that in A360 alloy.Meanwhile,the corrosion morphology and corrosion mechanism are obviously different in A380 alloy and in A360 alloy.

摘要:Blades with excellent high temperature performance are increasingly required with the development of industrial gas turbine.Industrial gas turbine blade exhibits complex shape and thickness as well as thin-walled structure with complex cavity in blade body,which results in the inevitable occurrence of shrinkage porosity(hole) in the blades.In order to investigate the defect formation and to optimize the processing parameters,the fluid field and temperature field are simulated by the FEM to predict the formation of shrinkage porosity(hole) during solidification process.The results show that confluence of liquid alloy occurs at the middle of pressure side,resulting in the formation of gas entrapment.The ingate on top of the tenon solidified in advance as a result of thin wall and blocked the feeding channel between the riser and the bottom of tenon,leading to the occurrence of shrinkage porosity(hole) in the tenon as well as in both gating systems.The practical experiment was conducted.The results are well in agreement with the simulated ones in shrinkage porosity and gas-entrapment.To eliminate the defects,the larger ingate was designed at the proper location to improve the gating system.

摘要:The TiC-coated diamond/Al composites with 65% diamond in volume fraction were fabricated by gas pressure infiltration method.The microstructure and coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) were analyzed and measured,respectively,to understand the thermal expansion behavior of the TiC-coated diamond/Al composites.The results show that the uniform distribution of diamond particles in the Al alloy with compact microstructure can be observed.The TiC coating is considered to improve selective interfacial bonding between diamond particles and Al alloy effectively and enhance the interfacial bonding.The CTE of the composites is decreased obviously as a result of TiC coating.The CTE of composites with TiC coating can be predicted by the mean value of the Turner and Kerner models,while the CTE of the composites without coating can be predicted by the Kerner model.
摘要:SiCp/ZL101A composites were prepared by hot-presses sintering process(HPS) with SiC particles of 10%,20%,30% and 40% in volume fraction.The hardness and dry frictional wear behavior at room temperature were measured,and the wear mechanism was approached.The results show that,with increasing in volume fraction of SiC particles,hardness of the composites is increased,and the maximum hardness value can be observed in the composites with 30% SiC content.The wear mechanism of the matrix ZL101A alloy is characterized by adhesion wear,while wear mechanism of the composites is characterized by adhesion wear with a little abrasive wear.With increasing in volume fraction of SiC particle,the adhesion wear is gradually reduced,which is responsible for the improvement of wear behavior of the composites.
摘要:Si diffusion from cladding layer to core material easily occurred in the composite brazing sheet of 4343/3005/4343 during brazing process,which affected the brazed joint formation and mechanical properties.Effects of core-material microstructure on diffusional solidification behavior in 4343/3005/4343 three-layer aluminum brazing sheet were investigated by DSC(differential scanning calorimetry).The results show that molten 4343 cladding layer can be solidified completely with holing temperature at 605 ℃which is more than the melting point.The core material microstructure has the significant effect on the diffusional solidification process.The molten cladding alloy can completely solidified at 605 ℃ for 30 min when core material has fine equiaxed grains.Core material with coarse and long strip grains can greatly decrease the Si diffusion velocity as a result of small grain boundary density and high fraction grain boundary with low angle,which results in the 50% molten cladding materials solidification at 605 ℃ for 30 min,and the cladding layer can be completely solidified completely with holding for 120 min.

摘要:Nano-Al2O3/2024 composites were fabricated by the pre-dispersion of ball milling and stirring casting,and microstructure and properties of the composites were investigated.The results show that the particles clustering in the as-received powder are eliminated effectively after the pre-dispersion treat ment of ball-milling,and the isolated Al2O3 nano-particles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of Al powder.Addition of the milled nano-Al2O3/Al composite powder instead of raw nano-particles can alleviate the problems associated with poor wettability,agglomeration and the nano-particle dispersion in the melt,realizing the homogeneous distribution of the nano-particle in the matrix.Mechanical properties of the composites are improved remarkably with introducing nano-particle.Compared with those of the composites prepared by conventional stirring casting,the tensile strength,yield strength and micro-hardness of the prepared Al2O3/2024 composites are increased by 59%,58% and 67%,respectively.
