摘要:The constitutive equation of the alloy was established according to the thermal simulation compression tests of semi-solid billet of ZL201 alloy prepared by a near-liquids semi-continuous casting method.Parameters of power law model,such as apparent viscosity,were presented based on the constitutive equation of semi-solid ZL201 alloy and the Stefan equations.The software Anycasting was applied to simulate and analyze the semi-solid die-casting processes of semi-solid ZL201 alloy.The effects of the ingate size on semi-solid die-casting process of the alloy were investigated,and potential defects in the die casting components were predicted.The results show that the desirable filling process of semi-solid metal slurry can be realized with ingate thickness of 3mm.
摘要:Effects of electromagnetic stirring on the solidification structure and the solute distribution in the superalloy GH3030 billet during solidification process were experimentally investigated and analyzed.The solidification microstructure of GH3030 is composed of the single-phase austenite.Through electromagnetic stirring(EMS),the dendrites are broken and the nucleation process is accelerated,which are responsible for the refinement of grains and compactness of the solidification structure.Without EMS,the serious microsegregation and the macrosegregation can be observed.With the EMS,temperature gradient at the solidification front is decreased as a result of improving heat transfer behavior in the melt during melt flow,and mixture of the melt with solute enrichment zone with the other melt zone is enhanced.As a result,the macrosegregation and the microsegregation of chromium in the billets are improved,and the chromium in the ingots with EMS is more uniformly distributed,improving significantly the quality of billets.

摘要:Gas pressure,overheat and solidification velocity are the most important parameters influencing the final structure of the lotus-type porous metal which is prepared by metal-gas eutectic directional solidification process(Gasar).A three-dimensional time-dependent model was developed to describe the heat transfer,mass transfer,gas pore nucleation,growth and merging as well as synergistic growth with solid phase during the formation process of lotus-type porous structure.Corresponding computation program was developed to simulate the porous structure formation and evolution during Gasar solidification by using the finite difference methods to understand the influence of gas pressure and solidification velocity on porous structure of lotus-type metal.The simulated structural parameters such as average pore diameter and porosity of Mg-H system have a well agreement with the corresponding experimental ones,which reveals that the developed model is feasible in structural simulation of lotus-type porous metals.

摘要:Macroscopic formability,microstructure and mechanical properties of the ZA27 alloy worm gear blanks in permanent mold casting,in liquid forging and in semisolid die forging were investigated under various process conditions.The results show that the microstructure of the worm gear in permanent mold casting is fine-developed dendrite from the addendum to the graduated circle.Absence of dendritie in the addendum and broken phenomenon of the dendrite arm in the dedendum of the worm gear in liquid die forging can be observed,and it is obvious that the dendritic structure in the graduated circle is broken and spheroidized.The refined microstructure in the addendum with uniform distribution and rosette structure in the dedendum are presented in semisolid die forging,and the microstructure in the graduated circle exhibits fine equiaxed grain.It is difficult for the tooth profile of worm gear to form by permanent mold casting,and the worm gear has clear outline with plumptooth profile by liquid forging and the formability is more desirable by semisolid die forging.The mechanical properties of the parts by semisolid die forging are superior to those prepared by permanent mold casting and by liquid forging.

摘要:In a recent decade,the titling gravity process is a very popular process for casting manufacturers,which is beneficial for the discharge of slag and gas from bottom to top during filling and sequential solidification of castings due to integrating the advantages of the bottom gating system and the top gating system.The double-barreled tank possesses a large and thin-wall structure with air-tightness requirement.Some casting defects,such as misrun and cold shut easily,occurred in the castings due to be difficult to form.Some defects in the double-barreled tank as slag and gas hole and the qualification rates of castings after machining and air-tightness testing are greatly improved by the titling gravity casting with optimized gating system and processing parameters.
摘要:The effects of different holding time,adding temperatures and addition amount of Al-5Ti-1B alloy wire,which was prepared by electromagnetic stirring and castex process,on grain refinement of pure Al were researched.The results show that the refining efficiency of the alloy wire exhibits desirable with the holding time of 5 min.With the holding time less than 120 min,the obvious fading phenomena can not be observed.The grain size of pure Al is decreased with the increase of addition of alloy wire.The grain refining performance of Al-5Ti-1B alloy wire is satisfied with a refining temperature of 700730 ℃,while with the refining temperature of 690 ℃,local grain size becomes coarsened in the pure Al and the bigger grain size in pure Al occurs when temperature reaches 740 ℃.
摘要:Effects of mould temperature and pouring temperature on hot tearing and fluidity of AZ91D magnesium alloy were investigated.The results indicate that hot tearing resistance of the AZ91D alloy can be significantly improved with the increase of mould temperature.Hot tearing in the AZ91D magnesium alloy can not be observed with preheating temperature of 368℃ at different pouring temperatures.At a lower mould temperature(<268 ℃),AZ91D alloy exhibits the desirable hot tearing resistance with pouring at 688℃.The influence of pouring temperature on hot tearing resistance is fade with the increase of mould temperature to be disappeared at mould temperature of 368 ℃.Both pouring temperature and mould temperature can obviously improve the fluidity of the AZ91D magnesium alloy,showing the remarkably role.At a lower mould temperature(68 ℃),a little increase of mould temperature can only increase the fluidity slightly,while with pouring temperature at a higher level(718 ℃),the effects of the increase of the pouring temperature on the improvement of the alloy’s fluidity can be neglected.In order to get better fluidity and hot tearing resistance,it is suggested for the production of AZ91D magnesium alloy components at a higher mould temperature(≥268 ℃) and suitable pouring temperature(688718 ℃).

摘要:A self-adaptive background forecast algorithm was presented aiming at image identification under complex background in magnesium alloy melt.Through judging whether the gray difference of the current pels’s neighbor pels is more than the threshold valve preset,different background forecast algorithms were self-adaptively selected.If the gray difference is more than threshold value,blocking weight background forecast algorithm is adopted,while it is less than the threshold value,fixed weight background forecast algorithm is selected.Furthermore,the self-adaptive background forecast algorithm was compared with the fixed weight background forecast algorithm and blocking weight background forecast algorithm.The results show that the algorithm not only can reflect the real size of the first bubble better,but also can effectively improve the PNSR(peak signal and noise ratio) and calculating speed.

摘要:The position of thermalcouple’s installition in copper refining furnace directly affects its measurement performance and temperature identification precision.The closer to the inside wall it’s placed,the more precisely temperature is measured,however,thermocouple’s temperature drift error will increase.Based on investigating optimum experimental design theory and thermocouple characteristics,temperature measurement optimum location criterion is presented to determine an optimal location.A nonlinear transient heat transfer model of copper furnace wall in the horizontal direction was established based on the Fronier theory and multi-layer wall characteristics.A FEM simulation was conducted based on Comsol Mutipfysics and Matlab softwares to understand wall heat transfer characteristics.Finally,the criteria distribution was calculated to find out the optimal measurement position in the minimum point by the simulation calculation.
