摘要:Fine-grained structural materials(FSM for short)with the same composition of Al-18Si alloy were used as the master alloy to modify the microstructure of HCC Al-18Si alloys because of its structural heredity.The influences of FSM master alloy on the microstructure and uniformity of Al-18Si alloy were investigated by SEM(scanning electron microscopy)and DSC.The results show that FSM master alloy can reduce the size of primary Si and improve the uniformity of the billet along the cross-section.The addition of FSM master alloy can increase the nucleation temperature of primary Si and reduce the latent heat of crystallization.In addition,with the addition of the master alloy,the alloys is less sensitive to cooling rate by DSC analysis,which reveals that the differences of nucleation temperature at surface and center of the billet is decreased.
摘要:Effects of solidification pressure on Si distribution in vacuum counter-pressure casting ZL114A alloy were investigated through analyzing Si distribution across the ZL114Avacuum counter-pressure casting samples subjected to different solidification pressure.The results indicate that with the solidification pressure during vacuum counter-pressure casting,heterogeneous Si distribution can be observed in ZL114Acasting samples,where the Si concentration in the center is lower than that in the surface.With the increase of solidification pressure,the segregation of Si in the ZL114Acasting samples is increased continuously,and the segregation reaches the maximum value with 400kPa pressure.
摘要:The copper-matrix composites reinforced with different nano-particles of Al2O3,SiO2,SiC and MgO in varied volumetric fraction were fabricated by internal oxidation and by powder metallurgy.The effects of preparation technology、volumetric fraction of reinforcements and thermal expansion coefficient difference between copper-matrix and reinforced particles on the electrical conductivity of the copper-matrix composites prepared were investigated.The results show that the electrical conductivity and density of Al2O3/Cu composite fabricated by internal oxidation which are increased with decreasing in Al2O3volume fraction are higher than those by powder metallurgy.The electrical conductivity of Al2O3/Cu composites is reduced with the increase of thermal expansion coefficient difference between copper-matrix and reinforced particles,which is relative with the values of calculation of the thermal stress at the copper matrix/reinforcement interface.Microstructure observation shows that the fine Al2O3particles are distributed more uniformly with alignment in the Al2O3/Cu composites fabricated by internal oxidation compared with that by powder metallurgy.
摘要:Effects of different aging temperatures and time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-5Fe based alloy were investigated.The results show that the aging treatment has a significant effect on microstructure and properties of the Al-5Fe alloy.The precipitation of strengthening phase is inadequate with a short aging time,which results in a lower performance,while with increasing aging time,the strengthening phase is precipitated gradually.However,with the aging time more than 6h,strengthening phase particles are coasened,leading to the decrease of mechanical properties of the alloy.Under the experimental conditions,the tensile strength,yield strength and elongation reach 312MPa,300MPa and 3.8%,respectively,with aging temperature of 180℃for 6h.
摘要:Texture and tensile property heterogeneities between the center and the outer layer of extruded AZ80bar with 230mm×140mm cross-section were investigated.The macro-textures of the center and three locations of the outer layer were measured by X-ray diffraction(XRD)technique.Pole figures of these four positions show that although texture at different positions exhibits fibrous texture,distributions of(0001)and{1120}pole are different from each other.The yielding behaviors of ED,TDand NDsamples in the center and in the outer layer were investigated by stress-strain curves.The results reveal that:(1)in both the center and the outer layer,yield strength of EDdirection is much higher than that of TDor NDdirection,however,the difference between the yield strength of TDand NDcan be ignored;(2)the yield strength of the center in ED,TDand NDis slightly higher than yield strength of the outer in the corresponding direction.Tensile property heterogeneity can be well analyzed by the texture feature.

摘要:A simple and easily used ultrasonic cleaning system was designed,and seven kinds of pre-treatment on SiC particles were performed.It is found that an optimized pretreatment process is as follows:ultrasonic cleaning,baking oxidation at high temperature and pre-heating.Micro-fine powder on the SiC particles can be cleaned off at 1000℃after ultrasonic cleaning process,and high temperature baking can promote the reactive wettability.Holding temperature can avoid the occurrence of second absorption.As a result of surface absorption,wettability of particle with the melt can not be improved only by high temperature baking.Absence of small and fine particles can be observed in absorption of the SiC particle after ultrasonic clean for 60min.

摘要:Based on the Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction,the axial magnetic fields at different radiuses and positions along the axis of the cold crucible made of copper were measured with a magnetic probe.Several factors influencing the magnetic fields were investigated such as the exciting current,the frequency and distance between the magnetic-exciting coils and the bottom of the crucible.The experimental results show that:the strong axial magnetic fields are induced within the coils,and the magnetic fields are decreased with the increase of the distance between the coils and measuring positions,which exhibits distribution asymmetrically to the central vertical plane.With the increase of the radius,the axial magnetic fields are increased slightly,and it is distributed symmetrically to the center axis.In addition,the copper crucible can make the fields distribute uniformly.The increase of the exciting current,the decrease of the frequency and the distance between the coils and the bottom of the crucible will also make a contribution to the enhancement of the axial magnetic fields.

摘要:Microstructures of the alloy without treatment,treated by mechanical vibration,ultrasonic and by compound action of ultrasonic and mechanical vibration were investigated comparatively.Influences of pouring temperature and preheating temperature of mold on solidification structure of the alloy after compound treatment of ultrasonic and mechanical vibration were expounded.The results show that primary grain in magnesium alloy AZ91D-3Ca can be refined significantly by compound treatment of ultrasonic and mechanical vibration,which is apparently superior to mechanical vibration treatment or melttreatment by ultrasonic.The second phases with short strips or granular are distributed uniformly at grain boundary,and tensile strength and elongation of the alloy with compound treatment are increased by 79.67%and by 35.71%,respectively.When pouringt temperature is in range of 610700℃,obvious refining effect can be observed at different pouring temperature,however change of microstructure refinement is independent on change of pouring temperature.With the increase of preheating temperature of the mold from 20℃to 600℃,primary phase is converted from incomplete dendrite to equiaxed or rossette-shaped crystal with slight coarseness.
