摘要:Microstructure of ZA35 alloy with different Ti additions was observed by XRD(X-ray diffraction) and metallurgical microscope,and the effects of Ti on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of ZA35 alloy were investigated by open circuit potential test and potentiodynamic polarization measurement.The results show that the corrosion current density of ZA35 alloy with 0.1% Ti addition is reduced by 56.2% in 3.5% NaCl solution,compared with that of ZA35 alloy,greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the ZA35 alloy,which is attributed to the grain and dendrite refinement resulting in the obstacle of fine grain boundary by corrosion product in 3.5% NaCl solution.
摘要:The microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-3.0Nd-1.5Gd-0.25Zn-0.5Zr new casting magnesium alloy were investigated.It is found that the microstructure of the as-cast experimental alloy is composed of near equiaxedα-Mg matrix and(α-Mg+Mg12Nd)eutectic structure distributed along the grain boundary.The optimized aging process parameters were determined by investigating age hardening response of the experimental alloy.The results show that the room temperature yield strength of the experimental alloy after T6heat treatment is apparently superior to that of ZM6commercial alloy.In addition,the high temperature tensile strength,yield strength and the creep resistant of the experimental alloy are obviously superior to those of the ZM6alloy.
摘要:Change of solidification parameters of GH4169 alloy during electroslag remelting process was simulated by the MeltFlow software,and effects of frequency variation on the parameters were analyzed.It is shown that solidification process parameters are decreased gradually with the increase of the frequency,and it is changed sharply with frequency lower than 40 Hz,and it is changed gently with frequency more than 40 Hz.Solidification process parameters are decreased gradually with the increase of the cooling rate from center to edge of remelting ingot.Trends of local solidification time,secondary dendrite arm spacing and Rayleigh number are consistent,and these parameters are equivalent in judging solidification structure,futhermore,the solidification structure is independent of these parameters with the frequency more than 40 Hz.The solidification process parameters in the power frequency are superior to those in lower frequency.Simulation results are well agreement with experimental ones,which shows that the simulation can predict the generation and level of defects in different processes to optimize technology and improve the ingot quality.

摘要:Influence of Zn,Mg and Cu elements on mechanical properties and hot cracking tendencies of cast Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were investigated by using orthogonal experiment method.The results show that the influence of three elements on the tensile strength and hot cracking tendency of alloys is distinct.The influencing sequence on the tensile strength is as follows:Zn>Mg>Cu,while the order of affecting hot cracking tendency is Cu=Mg>Zn.In the experiment range,tensile strength and hot crack tendency are increased with increasing in Zn content,and decreased with increasing in Cu content,respectively.However,with Mg content increases,tensile strength shows firstly increased and then decreased,while hot crack tendency shows firstly decreased and then increased.The eutectic phase with low melting point and along the grain boundary has important effect on tensile strength and hot cracking,where with the eutectic number increases,tensile strength is decreased,and hot tearing tendency is firstly reduced and then increased.
摘要:The appearance characteristics of typical defects including misrun and cold shut,porosity as well as sand burning in aluminum(magnesium) alloys were investigated during the expendable pattern shell casting with vacuum and low pressure,and the forming mechanism of these typical defects were analyzed.Finally,the control measures for the corresponding defects were presented.The results show that misrun and cold shut defects are generated as a result of lower filling velocity of the molten metal,insufficient filling capacity and lower casting temperature,etc.The porosity defects occur due to faster pouring speed,lower holding pressure or holding time,higher casting temperature,unreasonable design of the gating system and poorer permeability of the ceramic shell,etc.The sand burning defect is formed because of lower strength of ceramic shell,higher filling pressure and vacuum level,larger particle size and poorer cooling ability of sand.

摘要:The thermal cycling curves of ZAlSi7Cu4 treated by different heat treatment were drawn on a self-restrict thermal fatigue experimental machine at 25~350 ℃ to understand the effect of different heat treatment processes on the thermal fatigue behavior of the alloy.The thermal fatigue mechanism was analyzed by observing thermal fatigue crack morphology of the alloy samples with the help of OM(optical microscope) and SEM(scanning electron microscope).The results show that the sample with T6 heat treatment is superior to one treated by other process in thermal fatigue resistance at 350 ℃.The expansion path of the crack can be controlled by the location of the grain,and the crack generation in the edge of the cavern can be slowed down with a higher curvature radius.The micro-hardness of the sample surface is decreased with the increase of the thermal cycle number,however,the microhardness of the samples treated by T6 and as-cast quenching plus aging has a slightly ascension in the period before the initiation of the crack.
