摘要:The hot compression simulation of 7055 aluminum alloy was carried out on the Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator.The characteristics of hot compressive structure under different reductions was observed by OM and EBSD.The mechanical properties after heat treatment were tested,and the effects of hot deformation reduction on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 7055 aluminum alloy were investigated.The experimental results indicate that with the increase of reduction,the grains are significantly elongated,and the coarse second phase are stretched along the grain boundaries,and even broken up.Dynamic recrystallization locally occurrs in 7055 aluminum alloy,which is attributed to strain-induced grain boundary migration.With the decrease of the volume fraction of recrystallization and the increase of grain contained sub-structure in 7055 aluminum alloy after heat treatment,mechanical properties of the alloys are improved greatly.The optimum mechanical properties can be obtained with the 79%reduction.
摘要:Because the application of electric pulse inoculation treatment can greatly improve the formation of GP Ⅰ zone of Al-Cu alloy and thus result in the marked improvement in properties of alloy, it is necessary to investigate influence of electric pulse inoculation treatment on GP Ⅰ zone of Al-Cu alloy. Based on the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules (EET), the formation models of GP Ⅰ zones were built for the Al-Cu alloys which were subjected and not subjected to electric pulse inoculation treatment, and the statistical values of valence electron structure parameters for melts and supersaturated solid solution of Al-Cu alloy were calculated. As a result, the influence of electric pulse inoculation treatment on GP Ⅰ zone of Al-Cu alloy was described at the electron structure level, providing the theory basis for the extensive use of electric pulse inoculation treatment into the aging treatment of Al-Cu.
摘要:The microstructure and mechanical properties of the hot extruded Mg-2Ca-5Zn magnesium alloy were investigated by the optical microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope( SEM) and universal material testing machine. The results indicate that the fine grains in the extruded Mg-2Ca-5Zn magnesium alloy can be observed,and the Ca2Mg6Zn3 and Mg2Ca phase are dispersedly distributed due to its broken state. Meanwhile,the tensile strength and elongation of the extruded Mg-2Ca-5Zn magnesium alloy are 368MPa and 11.8%,respectively, apparently superior to those of the as-cast alloy.
摘要:Magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet was processed by isothermal repeated bending technology (IRBT) at different temperatures. Microstructure and texture as well as properties of magnesium alloy sheet were analyzed. The results indicate that the twinning crystal is the dominant deformation mechanism at 443 K and 483 K, and initial recrystallization grain appears near the twinning boundaries. With deformation temperature of 523 K, initial recrystallization is observed at grain boundaries. For initial magnesium alloy sheet, the elongation is 12.4% and the texture intensity reaches 9.8 at room temperature. When magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet was bended 3 passes at 483 K, the elongation reaches 17.1% and the texture intensity is 5.75 at room temperature.

摘要:Aluminum alloy cooling fin was produced by vacuum negative pressure technology, in which gating area of cooling fin was calculated by the Osann equation, and riser size was presented based on the hot spot circle. The numerical simulation was performed to visualize filling and solidification process to predict the potential position of casting defects, and process was optimized. The simulated results reveal that shrinkage porosity (hole) in the cooling fin can be eliminated effectively as a result of defects transferring into the riser by increasing height of static head and enlarging riser size. The optimized process parameters are as follows:pouring time of 3 s, pouring temperature of 740 ℃, hydrostatic head height of 40mm and nine risers with 10 mm. With the optimized processing parameters, smooth filling with entrapment-gas free and splash free is conducted to realize the sequential solidification and feeding, producing successfully the qualified cooling fin.
摘要:Semi-solid A390 alloy was prepared by near-liquidus process. The microstructure evolution of A390 alloy with varied holding temperature and time was observed with the alloy melt held around the liquidus temperature. The results show that with the holding temperature decreased from 695℃ to 650 ℃, the α -Al phase in the microstructure of the alloy is transformed gradually from dendrite to rosette and then into spherical shape, and the primary Si is converted into refined particle. The uniform refined primary Si particle and nearly spherical α -Al can be obtained in the microstructure of A390 alloy with holding at 635650 ℃ for 4055 min. It is found that with increasing in cooling rate, the primary Si and α phase in the microstructure of the alloy become more refine and spherical, respectively.
摘要:The semi-solid 2A12 aluminum alloy prepared by low voltage pulsed magnetic field process was partially remelted, and its microstructural evolution was observed by means of optical microscope and graphical analyzer. The experimental results show that the α -Al grains are coarsened gradually and become more globular with the increase of the isothermal temperature and holding time. For the 2A12 aluminum alloy, primary α -Al grains exhibit uniformly near spherical structure with size of 116120 μm, and liquid phase fraction is approximately 40% at 620 ℃ for 2040 min, suitable for semi-solid thixo-forming. It is found that in the early stage of the whole partial remelting process, the volume fraction of liquid is low and grains are grown up fastly mainly through crashing and fusing, while grains are grown up slowly and spheroidized mainly through elements diffusion as a result of increasing in volume fraction of liquid phase with the increase of the isothermal temperature and holding time.

摘要:A novel continual low pressure die casting technology based on PLC and touch screen was developed due to some disadvantages occurred in the traditional low pressure die casting process, such as low efficiency, poor liquid quality and unstable air pressure. The new equipment is made up of three independent furnaces including holding furnace, pressurizing furnace and up-stream furnace. The three furnaces are connected by the paths located in the bottom of the furnace. Refilling, pressurizing, pouring are fulfilled by the three furnaces, respectively. Pressurizing furnace possesses constant liquid volume and liquid level is kept at the same height before air pressurizing. So the air pressure curve is accurate and stable, and good reproducibility can be achieved for each pouring. Interruption between refilling and pouring through holding furnace can′t observed. Therefore continual production and high efficiency can be guaranteed.

摘要:Effects of processing parameters such as applied pressure, pouring temperature, die temperature and delaying time on the defects in squeeze-casting Al-Cu alloy were investigated. Experimental results show that there exist two critical applied pressures during squeeze casting. One is the critical pressure PSC, above which shrinkage defects can be eliminated, and the other is the critical pressure PMS, under which macro-segregation can be avoided. The sound castings without shrinkage and macro-segregation defects can be obtained when the applied pressure only is in the range of PSC<P<PMS. With the increase of the applied pressure, the size and numbers of inter-grain eutectic phase and eutectioids are decreased. High pouring temperature can easily result in the formation of gas hole and inclusions in the castings. Meanwhile, it will bring about the macro-segregation and eutectic segregate defects as a result of decreasing PMS. Moderate die temperature and short delaying time before applying pressure are the essential conditions to prepare sound castings without any defects.

摘要:The (Fe,Cr)7C3 particle-reinforced iron matrix composites were fabricated by compounding gray cast iron with chromium wires based on in situ synthesis, in which the (Fe,Cr)7C3 particles were in-situ synthesized through the reaction between Cr from pure chromium wires and C from the gray cast iron. The microstructure of the composites prepared with different reaction time and relative wear-resistance of the composites prepared with different chromium contents were investigated. The results show that the composites are composed of α-Fe, γ-Fe and (Fe,Cr)7C3, in which the (Fe,Cr)7C3 generated is distributed in iron matrix in form of particles and short-rod. With the increase of chromium content , the relative wear resistance of the composites is increased firstly and then decreased. With the chromium content of about 20%, the composites prepared exhibit excellent wear resistance, which is 7 times higher than that of gray cast iron.
摘要:Effects of different Al additions on mechanical properties of Cu-Zr-Ti based amorphous alloy were investigated. The samples prepared exhibit totally amorphous structure by XRD (X-ray diffraction). With 6% Al addition, compressive strength, fracture strain and micro-hardness of samples reach 2 002 MPa and 6.48% and 767.6, respectively. The compressive fracture of (Cu60Zr33Ti7)94Al6 amorphous alloy was observed. The results show that the improvement of mechanical properties of the amorphology is attributed to amouts of uniformly distributed fine dimples in the fracture restricting the rapid propagation of shearing band.
摘要:Growth of micro-arc oxidation coating on 7A04 aluminum alloy was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) to understand the phase constituent and morphology of the film at different growth stages. The results show that the coating thickness is increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of oxidized time. The whole growth is departed from the linear behavior. The growth mechanism of the coatings is characterized by 2 stages: in the initial, columnar growth of the coating perpendicular to the substrate surface; in the second stage, planar sputtering and piling up. The coating is mainly composed of γ -Al2O3. The coating exhibits favorable thermal resistance after heating at 550 ℃ for 5 min and shock chilling at room temperature for 23 times.

摘要:A ceramic coating on 5083 aluminum alloy was prepared by micro-arc oxidation ( MAO) in silicate solution, and the growth curve of the coating was drawn.The morphology,composition and phase constituent of the MAO coating were analyzed. The corrosion properties of 5083 aluminum alloy sample before and after the MAO surface treatment were evaluated by salt spray corrosion test,potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In the initial stage,the current density is dropped rapidly and the coating is grown mainly towards the outer surface, and the surface roughness of the coating is increased rapidly. More than 30 min, the current density is decreased slowly and the coating is grown gradually towards the inner layer of coating. The MAO coating on 5083 aluminum alloy consists of γ -Al2O3 and a small amount of mullite (3A2O3·2SiO2) phases, and the mullite mainly appears in the outer layer of coating. Moreover, by microarc oxidation surface treatment, the corrosion current density of 5083 aluminum alloy is decreased by about two order degree of magnitude, and its electrochemical impedance modulus |Z| is obviously increased, improving significantly the corrosion resistance of coated 5083 alloy. In addition, the fitting analysis of EIS shows that the corrosion resistance of the MAO coating is controlled by the compactness of inner layer.
摘要:Commercial W70Cu30 alloy was hot-rolled by multi-pass hot-rolling at different temperatures. The properties of the W70Cu30 sheet were analyzed. The results indicate that W-Cu alloy sheets with 0.2 mm in thickness and relative density of 99.92% can be prepared successfully by the newly technique at 700 ℃. In hot-rolling process, deformation and sliding in both copper and tungsten phases occur as a result of rolling stress, which makes copper phase fill in closely surrounded by tungsten particles to form network-like distribution structure, increasing electrical and thermal conductivity by 23% and 31.31% after hot-rolling, respectively. Induced density and deformation strength also enhance micro-hardness of W70Cu30 alloy sheets. The sheets after hot-rolling consist of two phases-W and Cu. In addition, the fracture mode of the sheet after hot-rolling is characterized by ductile fracture of copper binding phase and trans-granular fracture of tungsten phase.
