摘要:The A390 aluminum alloy cylinder liners were prepared by gravity-casting and squeeze-casting,and their fracture behaviors under static loading were investigated by in situ SEM observation.For the gravity-casting alloy,microcracks firstly initiated at the primary Si particles however were restricted from propagating to the matrix.Meanwhile,the eutectic Si particles with a high aspect ratio played a bridging role in the dominant crack propagation,which suggested that the eutectic Si particles are more advantageous to crack propagation than primary Si particles in the gravity-casting alloy.By contrast,for the squeeze-casting alloy,microcracks also were observed to initiate firstly at the primary Si particles but then propagate to matrix and link with other microcracks to form a dominant crack.In addition,microcracks barely initiated at the spherical eutectic Si particles,and the primary Si particles were preferentially sought out by the dominant crack.The results indicate that the eutectic Si particles are in competition with primary Si particles in propagating the dominant crack.Moreover,the fracture of eutectic Si particles affect the propagation of microcracks at the primary Si particles due to the function of the eutectic Si particles to release stress.It also suggested that the primary Si particles and eutectic Si particles should be coordinated to achieve excellent mechanical properties of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys.

摘要:Zirconia coating was prepared on Al-Si alloys by plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)in the alkaline electrolyte containing Zr(OH)4 powders.The composition and structure of the coating were investigated by SEM(scanning electron microscope)and XRD(X-ray diffraction).The results show that in the initial stages of oxidation,the growth of coating belongs to the stage of anodic oxidation controlled by electrochemical polarization.The growth of coating is characterized by outward growth with a faster growth rate.With increasing in time and thickness of the coating,the growth of coating is characterized by in-growth with the decrease of growth rate.The coating consists of t-ZrO2,m-ZrO2,α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3,in which t-ZrO2 is dominant in phase with distributed in outer layer of the coating,while α-Al2O3 appears in inner layer of the coating.The coating surface exhibits particle structure with size of 1~2μm.In the process of plasma electrolytic oxidation,Zr(OH)4powders move and deposit on the mouth of plasma discharge channel under electric field force to transform into ZrO2 as a result of the high temperature of plasma discharge.
摘要:Effect of electric pulse on the solidification structure of high-boron middle-carbon alloy steel was investigated by exerting electric pulse on the alloy steel during solidification process.The results indicate that,after electric current pulse treatment,grains of high-boron middle-carbon alloy steel are refined and spheroidized with more uniform distribution.Martensite lamellar spacing is decreased,and volume fraction of hard phase is decreased from 10.6% in non-electric pulse treatment to 8.3%,however,alloying elements,such as W,Cr,Mo,V in matrix are increased.In addition,hardness of matrix is improved from HV664 to HV739.Net-like hard phase exhibits discontinuous and isolated spheroidization.The co-action of Joule heat,magnetic-electric force and electric migration of electric pulse is responsible for the above effects.
摘要:The modification of antimony(Sb)on eutectic Si phase in A356aluminum-silicon alloy and the effects of rare earth(RE)on the modification efficiency of antimony were investigated,and effects of the strontium(Sr)on A356 alloy were analyzed comparatively.The tensile and fatigue properties of the Sb,Sb+RE or Sr modified A356 alloys were also analyzed comparatively.The results show that Sb can refine the eutectic silicon phases in A356 alloy significantly from plate-like into fine fibrous structure.However,the modification efficiency of Sb is lower than Sr.The modification effects can be improved obviously in Sb modified A356 aluminum-silicon alloy with the addition of a little RE,decreasing of Sb content for achieving the desirable modification efficiency.The tensile properties of the Sb or Sb+RE modified A356 alloys are lower than those of the Sr modified alloy,however,the fatigue properties are superior to that of the Sr modified alloy,which may be attributed to the higher compactness and less casting defects in Sb or Sb+RE modified alloys compared with the Sr modified alloy.

摘要:Al-4.5Zn-1.0Mg-0.8Cu alloys containing different RE content were prepared by metal mould casting.Effects of RE on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-4.5Zn-1.0Mg-0.8Cu alloy were investigated by tensile testing,OM(optical microscovpe),SEM(scanning eldctron microscope)and EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer).The results show that the tensile strength and elongation are increased firstly,and then decreased with the increase of RE content.The alloy with 0.12% RE(mass fraction)exhibits the desriable mechanical properties.With proper RE,secondary dendrite arm spacing can be decreased,and RE is distributes mainly at grain boundaries and dendrite boundaries in form of AlZnMgCuRE phase.Excessive RE can cause over-modification effect,increasing secondary dendrite arm spacing.With a lower RE content,AlZnMgCuRE phase exhibits rod-like shape,and with excessive RE,AlZnMgCuRE phase becomes coarse block structure,which can weaken the mechanical properties as a result of cutting effects.In addition,RE can promote the solid solution of Mg and Zn in Al melt,improving the solid solution strengthening effects.

摘要:Combination effects of Sc/Zr on the microstructures and properties of Al-Si alloys were investigated.The results show that the Sc addition can not only refine the eutectic colony and form the Sc containing precipitates in Al-Si alloys,but also take part in the formation of AlCuNi high temperature phase,and then influence its morphology and distribution.As a result,the hardness and strength of AlSi alloys are improved,especially the high temperature strength.Combination addition of Zr and Sc,can enhance the refinement efficiency of Sc on the eutectic colony and reduce the content of Sc in the Sc containing precipitates.Therefore,Sc can take part in the formation of much more AlCuNi phase.
