摘要:Effects of argon pressure and attenuant on microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk nano-crystalline Fe3Al prepared by thermit reaction in condition of different pressure of 3,6,9MPa and attenuant contents of 0,20% and 40%were investigated by TEM(transmission electron microscope) and XRD(X-ray diffraction) and compression testing.The results reveal that crystal structure of the bulk Fe3Al materials prepared belongs to DO3 order with the grain size less than 30 nm.Grain size of the prepared materials is almost independent of the argon pressure,however,with increasing in attenuant content,the grain size is greatly decreased.In addition,yield strength of the prepared materials is improved with pressure increase,however,it is absent of the observed function with grain size.With different attenuant content,an anti-Hall-Petch rule is followed between the grain size and the yield strength.

摘要:Internal corner-crack in continuous casting 40Cr billets produced by basic oxygen furnace-LF refinery-continuous casting from a factory was analyzed from processing procedure and continuous casting equipment as well as observing microstructure by hot hydrochloric acid,metallographic microscope,and electron probe-energy spectrum analysis.It is found that there is absent of abnormal microstructure and particle segregation around the defects.Solidification process of continuous casting mould was simulated by the Anysys software.The results show that the internal corner-crack is generated in the mould during solidification process,which is attributed to the formation of apparent hot spot zone at the off-corner of the billet resulted from unevern heat flow in the mould resulting in the formation of thermal stress.The defects are related with the composition of liquid steel,optimization of processing parameters as well as transition fillet.Through strictly controlling processing parameters and optimizing design of transition fillet on mould,the internal corner-crack less than 1.0 level is controlled to 89.68%.

摘要:Through measuring hardness and magnetic behavior of high chromium cast iron(3Cr14Mn4B),microstructure and hardness change of the cast iron after sub-critical,destabilized and cryogenic treatment were examined to understand the effects of retained austenite and martensite on hardness of the cast iron.The results show that the microstructure of the high chromium cast iron is composed of martensite,a small amount of austenite and(Cr,Fe)7C3 eutectic carbide.In the condition of sub-critical treatment,the hardness of the cast iron is firstly increased and then decreased with increasing in sub-critical treating temperature at air cooling,which is lower than that of one at cryogenic treatment,however,it is higher than that at cryogenic treatment with sub-critical temperature more than 550 ℃.The hardness of the cast iron is slightly increased with destabilized temperature increase,which is higher at cryogenic treatment than that at air cooling.After different heat treatment,hardness of the high chromium cast iron is controlled by martensite content in cast iron matrix and carbide content in martensite phase.The optimized heat treatment process is sub-critical treatment at 550 ℃.

摘要:Laser cladding Co-based alloy on surface of the brass was carried out by pre-deposited method.A three-dimensional finite element model for temperature was established,where the effects of temperature on thermo-physical parameters and surface convective heat transfer as well as radiant heat transfer were taken into account.The temperature field and stress field of laser cladding Co/Cu alloy were analyzed by the SYSWELD software.The results show that temperature field exhibits the tendency of non-steady state to steady state during the laser cladding process,and peak temperature of different points was reduced with serrated tendency at cross section of the cladding surface,and maximum residual stress can be observed in the middle layer of cladding surface nearby the matrix alloy.The desirable metallurgical boding with 11.5% dilution can be realized by scanning speed at 8 mm/s with the same other parameters,which is validated by the experiment.The acceptable powers of 2.96kW and 3.82kW are presented with scanning velocity of 6 mm/s and 10 mm/s by SYSWELD check.The results provide a reference for parameter optimization and control of dilution rate of laser cladding layer.

摘要:Apparent activation energy of eutectoid transformation in wrought ZA16 alloy was examined by thermal analysis with temperature-increment during squeezing casting.The relationship between thermal stability and microstructure evolution of the alloy after heat treatment was described.The activation energy and thermal stability of the alloy are decreased with the increase of deformation rate.After annealing treatment,the hardness of the as-cast alloy is reduced,and that of wrought alloy is obviously increased.The work-softening and annealing-hardening are observed in the deformed ZA16 alloy resulted from the broken coarsened grain during processing which allow more deformation rate to the material.Precipitated structure along the working direction after annealing treatment restrains the grain rotary in spheroidized structure for coordinated deformation,which is responsible for the annealed-hardening.
