摘要:Three ladder Mg-Mn sacrificial anodes with different chemical compositions were poured by permanent mold.The corrosion behavior was investigated by galvanostatic corrosion test in saturated calcium sulfate-magnesium hydroxide solution.The results indicate that:the impurity elements are severe due to the solute segregation,and the grain sizes distributed heterogeneously result in the un-evern current efficiency at different distance to the surface of the metal mold.The impurity elements are formed into the intermetallic phases locally distributed at the grain boundaries,resulting in the intergranular corrosion of magnesium sacrificial anode.Furthermore,with the increase of heterogeneous degree of secondary phase size,the mechanical spalling at un-corrosion position is promoted,resulting in the increase of weight loss of the anode and decreasing the electric current efficiency.The corrosion morphology observation reveals that the more localized strip-shaped etch pits are formed on the surface of the magnesium anode with more serious mechanically spalling and heterogeneous corrosion,resulting in the lowest current efficiency of 41%.With the decrease of diameter of corrosion hole on surface of magnesium anode and the increase of distribution uniformity,the current efficiency is improved increasingly.  
摘要:In order to understand the asymmetry of extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy between dynamic tension and compression,texture analysis was performed,and dynamic compression and tension tests at extruded direction and transverse direction were carried out using a split Hopkinson pressure bar and a reflected hopkinson tension bar apparatus with average strain rates in the range of 5002 650 s-1.The results show that due to the formation of basal plane texture during the extruding process,extension twins {1012}<1120> are activated easily when the alloy is compressed along extruding direction,so yield stress is lower and insensitive to strain rates.When the alloy is tensioned along extruding direction,due to the tensile twins not be activated,contract twins {1011}<1120> and non-basal slips are the main deformation mechanisms,leading to the higher yield stress of the alloy.The alloy shows a strong asymmetry between compression and tension,and the ratio of yield stress between compression and tension is about 0.30.Absence of asymmetry along transverse direction can be observed.

摘要:Intersection grid easily appeared on the casting contact surfaces during grid meshment process of the complex sand-mould casting by using the preprocess module of ProCAST,which brought many difficulties to the numerical simulation.The interface mode between the Pro/E and ProCAST was analyzed,and several methods of grid generation were compared.The results show that intersection grid on the contact surface can be well avoided by using the grid assembly technology.The grid assembly technology not only ensures the grid quality,but also reduces the difficulty of meshment and improves the work efficiency.The feasibility of the technology is validated by an application example of sand-mould casting.  
摘要:A three dimensional cellular automaton-finite element model was developed to predict the solidification grain structures in γ-TiAl alloy ingots during vacuum arc remelting process,in which Gaussian distribution continuous nucleation model was adopted to describe the nucleation and the KGT model was extended to multi-component alloys to account for the growth kinetics of the dendrite tip.Effects of melting rate,heat transfer coefficient and nucleation parameters on the solidified microstructure evolution were investigated.The results reveal that with increasing in the melting rate or increasing in the maximum volume nucleation density,the formation of equiaxed grains is promoted,and the growth of columnar grains is restrained.Larger mean undercooling and larger heat transfer coefficient can increase grains size and number of columnar grain.The effects of variation of standard deviation on grain structure of the ingot can be ignored.  
摘要:Finite differential method was used to simulate the formation of power steering pump shell.Based on the simulated results,origination of the defects,such as entrapment-gas,shrinkage and so on,was analyzed,and countermeasures were presented to reduce mould-trial and mould-repair in practical production and to decrease the reject rate.The simulated results show that there exist serious entrapment-gas,shrinkage porosity(hole) in the castings,which is attributed to the complex structure of the castings with un-even wall-thickness.So the design of gating system,exhaustion of the mould and sequential solidification of the castings in process of casting should be paid attention to.  
摘要:The Mg-9Gd-1Y-0.5Zr(GW91) alloy piston was produced by squeezing casting.The mechanical properties of the samples cut from piston top and skirt at the peak-aged condition(T6) and its creep resistance at 200~300 ℃ were investigated.The results reveal that precipitates in grain is uniformly distributed in the T6 treated piston,and the grain size in piston top and skirt treated by T6 reaches 140 μm and 80μm,respectively.Meanwhile,the tensile strength of piston is decreased with increasing in temperature,and the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) of piston top and skirt are 210 MPa and 223 MPa,respectively,at 300 ℃.The steady-stage creep rate of piston is increased with increasing in temperature and applied stress.The steady-stage creep rate of piston top and skirt are 7.81×10-8 s-1 and 1.45×10-7 s-1,and total creep strain after 100 h are 2.8% and 3.0%,respectively,at 300 ℃ and 50 MPa,evidently superior to those of commercial Al-Si alloy.

摘要:Filling and solidification of ZG16Mn brake bottom plate for automobile were simulated by numerical simulation.Influences of pouring temperature,squeezing speed and squeezing pressure on the filling completeness were visualized.The results show that the completeness of filling is mainly controlled by pouring temperature.Pouring temperature can be slightly reduced by increasing squeezing speed and squeezing pressure.The over-fast solidification of liquid metal in ingate is responsible for imperfect filling.Because liquid metal can not enter the die cavity,the phenomenon of misrun appears.To be ensured casting with completely filling,ingate must be unobstructed.Ingate can not be obstructed by controlling the pouring temperature.The experimental results are well in agreement with the simulated ones.

摘要:High-volume fraction SiCp/Mg composites with different particle sizes were fabricated by vacuum-pressure infiltration technology,and the effects of SiC particle size on thermal expansion behavior of SiCp/Mg composites were examined.The results indicate that the particle size has the significant effect on the coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE),and at the same volume fraction conditions,the CTE of the composites is decreased with the decrease of the particle size.In addition,the CTE of the composites with different volume fraction is inversely proportional to the interfacial area of the composites.CTE of the composites can be effectively decreased by decreasing the particle size and increasing the volume fraction of particle.The effect of particle size on thermal expansion behavior of the SiCp/Mg composites is attributed to acting on interfacial area,relative density of the composites as well as dislocation density of AZ91D alloy.

摘要:5B01 alloy sheet was prepared by semi-continuous casting-rolling technology.Influences of stabilizing annealing on the mechanical properties,exfoliation corrosion resistance and texture of the cold rolling sheet were investigated.The results show that,with increasing in stabilizing annealing temperature,strength of the alloy is decreased and elongation is increased,however,exfoliation corrosion resistance of the alloy is increased firstly and then decreased.There are mainly Brass{011}(211),Copper{112}(111) and S{123}<634> texture in cold-rolled Al-Mg alloy sheets.With the annealing temperature increasing to 300 ℃,the deformed textures disappear gradually,and the brass and copper textures are evolved into cube{001}(100) and cube-rotation{001}(110) textures.  
摘要:The undercooling ability of Sb and Sb-Bi alloys was measured by DSC,and the exotherm is increased with the increase of Sb content.Through the resistivity measurement,it is found that the resistivity of Sb and Sb-Bi alloys undergoes several sudden change,and the upturn of resistivity of Sb and Sb90Bi10 at undercooled state can be observed with the decrease of temperature.Meanwhile,the abrupt transformation of resistivity corresponds to the sudden change of temperature during the cooling process in Sb and Sb-Bi alloys.It is believed that the difference of exotherm is attributed to the difference of latent heat release ability,and the sudden change of resistivity with temperature is related to the peierls distortion in hexahedral structure of Sb and the change of atomic cluster size.In addition,the corresponding relation of temperature and resistivity indicates that the structure transition in solidification process has the obvious effect on the resistivity.

摘要:The weldability of brass was described,and the design method and the welding operation points for oxyfuel gas welding brass were presented.Meanwhile,some application examples were showed.During gas welding brass,welding wires with Si must be considered.The Si oxidized film formed could cover the surface of molten pool,which not only restrained the further evaporation and burning loss of Zn,but also effectively prevented hydrogen from the melt to reduce the generation of hydrogen gas hole in welding joint.Weak oxidizing flame should be used in gas welding brass,which could prevent ZnO from reduction and decrease gas hole defects through keeping CO2 with high concentration at welding zone to form a layer oxidized atmosphere on surface of liquid brass.
