摘要:7050 aluminum alloy ingots with 162 mm in diameter were prepared by direct chill(DC) casting process with applying a low frequency electromagnetic field,and effects of electromagnetic field on the as-cast microstructure were investigated.The experimental results show that low frequency electromagnetic field has a significant effect on both grain size and morphology of grains in 7050 alloy.The average grain size is evidently reduced from 230 μm to about 42 μm,and the morphology is transformed from coarse dendrite to fine spherical euiaxed structure.The electromagnetic field frequency and intensity play very important roles in refining the grain size.The optimum processing parameters for casting 7050 alloy ingot with 162 mm are presented as follows:electromagnetic field frequency of 25 Hz and electromagnetic field intensity of 12 800~16 000 At.

摘要:Effects of Ca content on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-5Al-1Bi alloy were investigated by XRD(X-ray diffraction),OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscope),EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer) and mechanical property testing.The results show that the as-cast microstructure of the Mg-5Al-1Bi alloy is composed of matrix α-Mg and β-Mg17Al12 phases.With the addition of Ca,grains are refined,and the amount of phase Mg17Al12 is decreased with the morphologies transformed from continuous shape into more dispersed ones.The new secondary phase Al2Ca is generated with the Ca content increasing to 3%.Al2Ca phase with high melting point can pin the grain boundaries to restraint its slippage,which is beneficial to improve the high temperature creep resistance of the alloys.The hardness,yield strength are increased with the addition of Ca content,however,the tensile strength and elongation are decreased.

摘要:The semi-solid A356 alloy parts were forged with 2000 kN vertical hydraulic press by squeeze casting.Effects of pouring temperature and extrusion pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties of the squeezing casting semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy parts were investigated.The results show that grains size can be refined and spheroidized with more compact,and tensile strength,yield strength and elongation are increased greatly with increasing in the squeeze pressure.However,with squeeze pressure more than 48.7 MPa,its effects on microstructure and properties of the parts prepared can be ignored.With a lower pouring temperature,crack easily occurs in the parts due to the higher solid fraction resulting in adequate filling,while with a higher pouring temperature,dendrite is dominant in the microstructure of the parts prepared as a result of high liquid fraction,which are responsible for the deterioration of mechanical properties.The acceptable microstructure and mechanical properties of the parts prepared can be presented by squeezing casting at 582 ℃ and 48.7 MPa,where tensile strength and elongation of the parts prepared reach 288 MPa and 14.6%,respectively.

摘要:Aiming at the working conditions of nozzle body,through theory analysis and failure analysis of the injury parts,the failure of nozzle body for Zn alloy die casting is attributed to small surface tension,high permeability and corrosion of zinc alloy melt as well as co-action of melt corrosion with stress corrosion.FeZn13 phase can be formed in the zinc alloy melt due to dissolution of Fe,C and Si from the tool steel.Meanwhile,dissolution of Fe in the Zn alloy melt can be promoted due to the existence of C,Si,P and S element,resulting in the high temperature corrosion of nozzle body during die casting Zn alloy process.Through co-infiltration treatment of RE-B on working face of nozzle body,the corrosion of nozzle body can be restrained,and its service life can be increased.The B-infiltrated layer with 60~70 μm in thickness can be formed with 4% RE addition at 950 ℃ for 7 h.The practical application shows that the service life of the nozzle body with B-infiltrated treated is 4 times higher than that without treated ones.

摘要:Protective effects of the atmosphere of FeS2 and HFC-134a mixed with air on magnesium alloy melted in a sealed melting furnace were analyzed.The results show that the atmosphere of air containing both sulphur and fluorine has a good protective effect on magnesium alloy melting,and with the same melting temperature and holding time,it is better than that containing only sulphur or fluorine.The atmosphere with 0.15% HFC-134a and 1g FeS2 can prevent magnesium melt from oxidation and combustion at 730 ℃ for 1 min to 30 min.However,holding for 60 min at 730 ℃,the atmosphere is failure.The characteristics of the surface film formed at controlled condition was analyzed by SEM,EDS and XRD.The protective films formed in the atmosphere of air containing both sulphur and fluorine contain Mg,F,O and S,and the basic phases are MgF2,MgO and MgS.With the increase of holding time,the surface film exhibits more homogeneous,denser and thicker due to the increase of MgF2 and MgS in the MgO-based oxide film.

摘要:Effects of homogenizing treatment on the microstructure and properties of ZA35-0.3Zr alloy were investigated by observing microstructure,testing mechanical properties and electrochemical behavior,and the optimized temperature and time of homogenizing treatment were presented.The results show that severe dendritic segregation and non-equilibrium β phases can be observed in as-cast structure of ZA35-0.3Zr alloy with severe Cu-enrichment on the grain boundary.With the increase of homogenizing treatment time,the CuZn5 phase is disappeared gradually,and eutectoid decomposition of β phase is increased.After homogenizing at 370 ℃ for 12 h,the CuZn5 phase disappears due to dissolving into the matrix to make dendrite segregation decrease significantly,and the absence of non-equilibrium β phase at grain boundaries can be observed.Meanwhile,tensile strength and elongation of the ZA35-0.3Zr alloy reach 306 MPa and 7.35%,respectively.The open circuit potential of homogenized ZA35-0.3Zr alloy is changed to positive,and the corrosion current density is reduced by 33.1%,compared with ZA35-0.3Zr alloy without homogenizing treatment in 3.5% NaCl solution,leading to the improvement of corrosion resistance of the alloy.The optimized homogenization treatment is 370 ℃×12 h.
