摘要:Mechanism of the evolution and refinement of the primary Si in A390 alloy was analyzed based on rapid solidification and the heredity theory of liquid structures in A390 alloy billets in the case of the near liquidus semi-continuous casting . Influence of the pouring temperature from 10 ℃ to 100 ℃ above the liquidus on the morphology of the primary Si in A390 alloy was investigated under the conditions of casting velocity 120 mm/min and cooling water flux 0.05 m3/min. The results show that the near liquidus semi-continuous casting process is in favor of uniform nucleation and abnormal growth restraint of the primary Si due to an appropriate match in rate of the nucleation and growth. The morphology and distribution of the primary Si in the alloy can be improved by controlling the casting parameters without adding the refiner and modifier to the melt, showing great significance to the processing simplifying, resource saving and cost reducing.

摘要:Effects of static magnetic on the microscopic grain density, solidification rate and distribution of alloy elements in 2024 aluminum alloy were investigated by means of thermal simulation experiment and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the solidification structure can be refined with increasing in magnetic intensity, and the solidification time is decreased, which are closely related to the Seebeck effect acting on liquid metal in solidification front as a result of enhancing the flow of liquid metal and inhibiting the electromagnetic brake effects. Furthermore, the static magnetic field can promote disfussion of solute atoms in aluminum alloy, and it is favorable to improving solid solubility of alloy elements and decreasing macro-segregation of 2024 aluminum alloy.

摘要:The DC-cast technology for a new type super-high strength aluminum alloy sheet ingot containing higher Zn than that in AA7055 alloy was investigated through simulation combining with experiments. The results show that, it is beneficial to the casting formation of the ingot with appropriately decreasing the elements content such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Si and Mn, and increasing the Mg content in the super-high strength aluminum alloy under conditions of meeting comprehensive property requirements. The range of casting parameter for the new type alloy is very narrow, resulting in easy crack of the ingot during the casting process. The 180 mm×360 mm alloy ingot was successfully produced through simulation and experiments with using water-restrict panels to the ingot.

摘要:Through adding solid FeS2 in a sealed melting furnace for magnesium alloy, effects of FeS2 addition, melting temperature and holding time on protective role of AZ91D magnesium alloy melt were analyzed at air containing FeS2 atmosphere, and morphology, constituent and phase composition of oxidized film were observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer) and XRD (X-ray diffraction). The results show that the acceptable protective effects can be obtained with melting temperature below 760 ℃. Melted at 730 ℃ for 30min, the protective effect is dissatisfied with 1g FeS2 addition, while it is satisfied with 2 g FeS2 and 5g FeS2 addition, however, it is turned bad with FeS2 addition increased to 10 g in the sealed melting furnace with 13 L in volume. Melted at 730 ℃ for 60min, the protective effect is bad with 2g FeS2 addition while it is desirable with 5g FeS2 addition. With melting temperature increased to 800 ℃ for 30 min, the protective effect on AZ91D magnesium alloy is worse that with 2 g FeS2 addiiton. The surface film formed on the magnesium alloy at air containing FeS2 is composed of MgS and MgO phase with compact structure. And the thickness of the film formed is increased with increasing in holding time in range of 1.02.0 μm.

摘要:In order to develop the technology of rapidly precision spray forming tooling, microstructure and mechanical properties of HM1 hot forging die processed by precision spray forming were investigated by OM (optical microscope), SEM(scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and mechanical testing, and were compared with those of one processed by conventional casting tooling. The results indicate that the HM1 hot forging die with good surface quality and clear outline can be produced, and the average relative density reaches 99.5%. The grain size in spraying formed tool is approximately 15 μm, compared with about 100 μm in casting tool, significantly refined. After tempering at 520 ℃ for 2 hours, the hardness of the spraying formed specimen is HRC54, while it is only HRC49 in the casting specimen. The fracture analysis shows that the casting specimen exhibits the mixture fracture with brittle fracture and ductile fracture, and the typical ductile fracture is presented in the spray formed specimen.

摘要:Numerical simulation was employed to investigate the filling and solidification process of centrifugal casting ZTC4 case. Influences of pouring temperature of the melt, centrifugal rotational speed and preheating temperature of the mould on the flow fields during filling process and the temperature fields as well as stress fields during solidification process were analyzed. The formation of defects in centrifugal casting ZTC4 case was approached. The simulation results indicate that with the increase of the centrifugal rotational speed, although change of the mould filling rate can be ignored, the effect of Coriolis force on the melt becomes more significant, resulting in the thin of molten flow in the mould. When the superheat of the melt is lower than 30 ℃, the misrun can be observed. The factors influencing residual stress of the castings are as follows in importance: preheating temperature of mould, centrifugal rotation velocity, and melt super-heating. The shrinkage porosity (hole) defects are prone to easily appear in the thicker position of the castings, and their location is in accordance with the X-ray inspection results.
摘要:The semi-solid slurry of AZ91D magnesium alloy was prepared by a novel self-inoculation method, and the role of fluid director in formation of non-dendritic microstructure in semi-solid slurry was described. The results show that temeprature of the alloy melt is decreased sharply to nearby liquidus as a result of absopting a lot of super-heat by fluid director after pouring alloy melt with inoculation tretament on fluid director. With melt flowing on the fluid driector, heterogeneous nucleation is promoted and a large amount of free grains are generated, resulting in a proliferation of grains density during solidification, so the microstructure of solid shell solidified on the fluid director surface is varied from developed dendritic to fine dendritic, and finally to equiaxed grain. The degree of slope angle has affected flow way and heat transfer effects. An excessively high or small angle is harmful to the proliferation of grain density, and the desirable cooling and shearing effect can be obtained with slope angle of 45°,where the number of efficient grains is the most and the microstructure of primary phase in semi-solid slurry presents small size and uniform distribution.

摘要:The variation of damping behavior with vibration amplitude, frequency and temperature in grey cast iron HT250 dense bar produced by horizontal continuous casting was measured by dynamic mechanical analyzer to understand the damping mechanism of the alloy. The results show that the damping behavior is increased with increasing in amplitude and frequency. An internal friction peak occurs at about 40 ℃ and is extrapolated by Snoek relaxation. The damping temperature curve shows inverse tendencies at higher temperature range and lower temperature range as a result of the occurrence of Snoek peak. There exists a critical amplitude range, and the damping behavior at higher amplitude is much higher than that at lower amplitude. The temperature-dependent damping capacity mainly is resulted from point-defect damping, while dislocation damping is predominant in the frequency-dependent damping and amplitude-dependent damping, which controls the damping behavior of the alloy.

摘要:The intermetallic compound (IMC) formed at the interface between solder and substrate has a significant effect on the reliability of interconnection solder. The evolution of interfacial IMC in Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu/Cu solder joint and its effect on the mechanical properties were investigated under the different processing parameters including reflowing temperature, reflowing number and reflowing time, meanwhile, the fracture mechanism was also evaluated. The results indicate that IMC (η-Cu6Sn5) morphology is transformed from scallop-shaped to lath-shaped with the increase of reflowing time and temperature, and η phase dissolved into the solder position can be observed. With increasing in the reflowing time at 265 ℃, the η phase is grown increasingly with the decrease of grains. The growth rate of the interfacial IMC follows index power rules and its growth exponent is 0.339. It is also shown that the influence of the reflowing number on the shear strength is first increased and then decreased, and fracture mechanism is changed from pure shear fracture to micro-pore gathering fracture and then to partial brittle failure.

Impact toughness in the middle part of the AM60B magnesium alloy ingots is higher than those in the left and right parts. The inclusions with Si exist in the left part of magnesium alloy. The inclusions of carbon and oxygen compounds exists in the middle part, and the solvent inclusions exists in the right part of magnesium alloy.
摘要:The refining effects and action mechanism of high-intensity ultrasonic on the primary Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloy were investigated by treating Al-20Si melt with different sonophoresis ways. The results show that the nucleation rate in the alloy during solidification process can be increased by high-intensity ultrasonic treatment, where the shape of the primary Si is changed from the coarse plank structure into spherical ones with uniform distribution and the decrease of grain size. Refining effects are significantly different by treating with different sonophoresis methods due to the attenuation of the ultrasonic. The experimental results indicate that the primary Si is well refined with the more uniform distribution in the alloy, and the refinement area of solidification can be enlarged by treating with high-intensity ultrasonic when the ultrasonic rod is introduced with the circle movement at 1/2 of ingot casting radius to the center of melt.

The hardness of Mg-5Al-0.5Y alloy is decreased from 56.4 HV to 51.3 HV as a result of the decrease of cooling rate and coarseness of grain sizes.
