摘要:Carbon nanotubes(CNTs)reinforced AZ91Dmagnesium matrix nanocomposites were fabricated by mechanical stirring combined with ultrasonic vibration dispersion.Microstructure and mechanical properties of CNTs/AZ91Dcomposites were investigated by optical metallographic microscope(OM),scanning electronic microscope(SEM)and tensile test,and fracture morphology of the tensile samples was also observed by SEM and energy spectrum analysis(EDS).The results show that carbon nanotubes can be added smoothly and distributed dispersedly in the AZ91D magnesium matrix alloy by the semi-solid mechanical stirring and high-energy ultrasonic treatment.When CNTs addition is in range of01.0 %,with the increase of CNTs content,tensile strength and elongation of the composites prepared are improved obviously.Tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of 1.0% CNTs/AZ91D magnesium matrix composites reach 200MPa,114MPa and 5.4%,respectively,compared with those of matrix alloy,increased by 51.5%,42.5%and by 170%,respectively,showing excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.Carbon nanotubes mainly play the role in refining grains of the nanocomposites and bearing deformation loading.
摘要:K4169superalloy with different Cu contents from 0to 0.5%(weight percentage)was prepared by a manual electric arc furnace.The phase composition,solidification structure,segregation and the melting point of the superalloy prepared were observed by XRD(X-ray diffraction),OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscope),SEM-EDS and DSC.The results show that Cu is negative segregation element which mainly enriched at the dendrite arm,and it promotes the segregation of Nb,Mo and Fe,meanwhile,Cu promotes significantly the precipitation of Laves phase and MC carbide at the grain boundaries.In addition,the incipient melting temperature of Laves phase and the melting point of alloy are decreased with the Cu addition.The analysis shows that Cu is harmful to the solidification structure of K4169superalloy.

摘要:Because of the short procedure,high product quality and near zero pollution,multistage continuous heat-type vacuum furnace is widely used in the separation of binary alloys.However,it is difficult to measure temperature in vacuum furnace,and temperature control level is low with low efficiency.Meanwhile,many problems in vacuum furnace temperature field can not be understood deeply.Using simulation to calculate temperature at each node in vacuum furnace,it is very important to separate different alloys.Finite element analysis was used to understand temperature field in multistage continuous vacuum heat furnace,and temperature field distribution was simulated by the ANSYS software for vacuum furnace in the continuous heating furnace to present simulation distribution map of non-steady temperature field in the furnace with charge free.Through an experimental test,the actual temperature value at the primary node in the chamber was given.Through comparison with the simulation value,the maximum error is below 4.2%at a given node.

摘要:The metal mold casting process for thin-walled Al alloy shell was designed.The filling flow,temperature field and shrinkage porosity(holes)of metal mold casting thin-walled aluminum alloy shell were simulated to optimize the casting process.The simulation results show that the filling flow exhibits stable with uniform temperature distribution,and the predictable shrinkage cavities and porosity are not observel in the casting.The simulated result indicates that the optimized casting process for thin-walled Al alloy shell is reasonable.Through the rational use of copper-based cold iron to optimize effectively the temperature distribution,the possible shrinkage porosity(holes)in the shell can be reduced or eliminated.

摘要:A detection algorithm was presented for weak and dim target on magnesium melt based on the BP neural network,which aimed at image identification of the initial bubble under complex background.At first,the function approximation characteristic of BP neural network was used to estimate the background of original image.Then,the reconstructed images were obtained by subtracting the background from original image.And then,the frame difference was used for the reconstructed images.At last,the weak and dim target was detected by using self-adaptive threshold and morphological opening operation.The results show that BP neural network algorithm is effective for the initial bubble identification,and it can provide a new method for detection of hydrogen content in magnesium melt based on image processing technology.
摘要:Through using vacuum induction melting with the help of the protection of Ar atmosphere,effects of SiC content on the microstructure refinement and morphology transformation of AZ91D magnesium alloy were investigated.The results reveal that the addition of SiC particle can generate Mg2Si phase with the melting temperature in range of 700℃ 720℃.With the increase of SiC content,the volume fraction of Mg2Si phase is increased and its morphology is changed from the linear-shaped Chinese script to coarse fish bone and polygonal structure.Meanwhile,theβphase becomes smaller and dispersed.Due to the existence of residual SiC particle and the Al4C3generated as nuclei with 0.2%SiC addition,heterogeneous nucleation is promoted,where grain size of the alloy is refined from 480μm to 124μm,obtaining desirable refining effects.
