摘要:The influence of different temperatures and time on the precipitation and coarsening behavior of secondary Al3Sc in the Al-Sc alloy and the role of the secondary Al3Sc in properties of Al-Sc alloy were investigated.It is concluded that the coarsening behavior follows the kinetic law of the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner(LSW) theory with the alloys aged at 350 ℃,400 ℃ or 450 ℃,and it is predicted approximately by the LSW theory at 500 ℃ within 1 hour,however,departed from the LSW theory with a lower coarsening speed at 500 ℃ with aged more than 1 hour.The hardness of Al-Sc alloys is decreased with the particles radius increasing in the range of 440 nm.When the radius of Al3Sc is in range of 4 7.5 nm,the alloy hardness reaches its peak value of about 750850 MPa,nearly 3.754.25 times of the value before heat treatment,exhibiting significantly precipitating strengthening effects.When the particle radius reaches 40 nm,the alloy hardness reduces to 300 MPa.
摘要:A novel preparing technique for producing high purity Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner was presented by using processes including alloying with electronic and magnetic stirring,rotational degassing and high efficient filter,based on the traditional process of complex halide salts with molten aluminum.The results show that the impurity contents have been obviously decreased,and purity of Al-5Ti-1B alloy is greatly increased by using the new high-cleanliness process.Compared with the traditional method of "complex halide salts with molten aluminum",microstructural characterizations reveal that the intermetallic TiAl3 and TiB2 phases have small size of 530 μm and 0.371.24 μm,respectively,become more homogeneous distribution in Al-5Ti-1B master alloys prepared by "high-cleanliness process",which had met the requirements of refining treatment of high quality Al alloys.The refinement mechanism of the Al-5Ti-1B refiner was also discussed,which provided a theoretical basis and technical support for further improving the quality of Al-Ti-B grain refiner in industry.

摘要:Influence of heat treatment at 200900 ℃ on phase transformation temperature,phase hysteresis(As-Ms),phase transformaition enthalpy(ΔH)and microstructure of NiTiNb5 shape memory alloy was investigated by DSC,OM and SEM.The results show that the absence of martensite or reverse phase transformation can be observed at both forged NiTiNb5 alloy and rolled one with heat treatment at below 700 ℃,which shows the NiTiNb5 alloy transforms into structural material.However,with increasing heat treatment temperature to higher than 800 ℃,the martensitic phase and its reverse transformation can be observed in forged NiTiNb5 alloy or rolled one,showing the recovery of shaped memory effects.The microstructure analysis exhibits that the recrystallization in NiTiNb5 alloy is mainly responsible for its recovery functional materials performance after heat treatment at more than 800 ℃.
摘要:It was investigated that microstructure,texture evolution during rolling process,and influences of total reduction and asynchronous ratio on microstructure,texture and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet which processed by normal rolling(NR) and asynchronous rolling(AR) technology.The results show that,when the total reduction ratio is in a range of 3%15%,the grain size and uniformity in both NR sheets and AR sheets exhibit similar change trend.During the initial stage of rolling,with the increase of reduction,the number of twins is raised,which results in the grain orientation deflection in NR and AR rolled sheets.Namely,axis C of grains tended towards the normal direction(ND),decreasing the silk texture in the extruded sheet.When the total reduction ratio reaches 24%,twins are greatly decreased and or even disappeared.When the total reduction ratio is in a range 3%24%,the influence of NR rolling on the mechanical properties of the AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets can be neglected.While total reduction ratio reaches about 24%,asynchronous rolled sheets present acceptable plastic performance,and the tensile strength reaches 309 MPa,and the peak strain is 0.163.
摘要:2014Al/TiB2 composites were fabricated by a mixed salt reaction in-situ synthesis process,and friction and wear properties of the composites were investigated.Microstructure of the composites was observed by XRD(X-ray diffraction),SEM(scanning electronic microscope) and TEM(transmission electronic microscope).The results reveal that in-situ TiB2 particle is very fine with grain size smaller than 1μm and uniform distribution in the composites,obviously refining the microstructure of the composites.Dry sliding frictional and wear experiment at room temperature show that wear resistance of the composites is evidently superior to that of matrix alloy.Wear mechanism of matrix alloy is characterized by adhesive wear,and wear mechanism of the composites is characterized by typical abrasive wear.

摘要:High temperature compressive behavior of as-cast Mg-Zn-Y-Zr magnesium alloy was investigated on Gleeble-1 500 at 250-450 ℃ and strain rate from 0.001 to 1 s-1.Constitutive equation of the alloy was described by hyperbolic sine function.The results show that the stress-strain curves are characterized by softening mechanism of dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization,and the peak stress is increased with the decrease of deforming temperature,or the increase of strain rate.Constitutive equation of high temperature deformed Mg-Zn-Y-Zr magnesium alloy is well accordant with the high temperature deformation characteristics based on true stress-true strain curves.

摘要:WC particles reinforced steel matrix surface composites were fabricated successfully through adding proper ferro-molybdenum powder in the preformed composite layer to control interface by the vacuum full-mold infiltration casting process under negative pressure.The phase compositions,microstructure and hardness of the composite layer were characterized by optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and micro-hardness tester.The results show that,the interface structure and mechanical properties as well as the cast-infiltration effects of the composite layer are improved significantly by adding 16.67 % ferro-molybdenum powder in the preform.Meanwhile,cast-infiltration layer thickness is increased.With the volume fraction of alloy carbide increase,the composites layer hardness is nearly 2 times higher than that of the matrix,greatly enhancing the wear resistance of the WCP/steel composites.
摘要:In-situ TiB2particles reinforced ZL203alloy composites were fabricated successfully by the re-action of halide salts with aluminum melt.During fabrication process,pulsed magnetic field(PMF)was employed to improve the wear resistant properties of the composites.The dry sliding wear behavior of the matrix alloy and the composites under various loads were examined.The results show that,with the addition of TiB2particles,the solidification structure of the composites is refined apparently,and it is further refined by imposing PMF in the fabrication process.The wear resistance of the composites is sig-nificantly superior to that of the matrix alloy.And the wear resistance of composites under a heavy load is further improved by imposing PMF in the fabrication process.By comparison with the composites fab-ricated without imposing PMF,the critical transition load from mild wear to severe wear is increased from 80Nto 100N.The analysis of worn-out surfaces indicates that the wear mechanism of the matrix alloy is characterized by the co-action of severe adhesive wear and delamination wear,and it mainly ex-hibits abrasive wear with slight adhesive wear in the composites without PMF,and abrasive wear is dominant in the composites with PMF treatment.
