摘要:Through investigating electric resistivity-temperature curves of Sn-6Bi alloy melt,two kinds of liquid-liquid structure transition(LLST) were irreversible LLST at high temperature stage(8901 095 ℃) and reversible LLST at low temperature(645 ℃) were observed at different temperature zone.The irreversible LLST is attributed to the transition of metastable Sn SROs and(Bi)n SROs,while the tetrahedral Sn-Sn SROs can be broken or dissolved into smaller ones during heating cycle,and to be rebuilt during subsequent cooling process,which is responsible for the reversible LLST.Based on the observation,the solidification experiments were carried out.With the melt experienced LLST from temperature induction,the solidification undercooling is increased,and solidified time is postponed with the slightly decrease of solidification latent heat,refining evidently solidification microstructure.
摘要:Directional porous copper was fabricated by directional solidification method under a pressurized hydrogen or gas mixture of hydrogen and argon.The samples were processed by an image analyzer to obtain the different pore diameter and inter-pore spacing.The theoretical porosity of all possible structures was calculated and compared with the actual porosity of the samples.The Gibbs free energy of every structure was calculated.Meanwhile,the evolution completeness of every possible structure was analyzed.The results show that calculated porosity of hexagonal pore structure exhibits the smallest deviation from actual porosity,where formed Gibbs energy is the lowest.Hexagon is the ideal structure because the hexagon structure is no vacant site and no interrupt in evolution of porous structure.

摘要:Effects of the frequency of the pulsed magnetic field on Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy during solidification process were investigated.With applying pulsed magnetic field during the solidification,the grain size can be refined.At the same time,the content of Gd or Y in the grain are increased,and the amount of eutectic structure on the grain boundary is also correspondingly decreased by applying the pulsed magnetic field of 10 Hz.The charged ions moves in a spiral way in the direction of magnetic force line with the action of pulsed magnetic field,and the periodic change of the magnitude and direction of electric field force restrains the free vibration of particles,resulting in the more energy potential barrier required to be overcome,which are responsible for the increase of solute content of Gd and Y in grains.

摘要:Semi-solid Al-4.5Cu alloy billets were prepared by pulsed magnetic field technique,and the effects of cooling rate and pulsed frequency on solidified morphology and size of primary Al phase in semi-solid Al-4.5Cu alloy were observed.The experimental results show that semi-solid Al-4.5Cu alloy with near-spherical structure can be obtained by PMF treatment.The average size and shape coefficient of primary α-Al particles are decreased with decreasing in cooling rate and they are increased with increasing in pulsed frequency.However,with the cooling rate lower than 20 ℃/min and/or the pulsed frequency more than 10 Hz,the morphology of primary Al phase is coarsened.Primary α-Al particles with average diameter of about 96 μm and average shape factor of 0.58 in the semi-solid Al-4.5Cu alloy can be observed with cooling rate of 40 ℃/min and the pulsed frequency of 6 Hz,which is suitable for thixoforming.
