摘要:The phase field modeling of L →β directional solidification in Ti-43Al binary alloy was established by coupling the thermodynamic databases to WBM model.Based on the model,the microstructure evolution in solidification process was successfully simulated.The influences of phase field parameters and solidification parameters on the interfacial morphology were analyzed.The simulated results show that,with the decrease of the anisotropy coefficient,the tip growth rate is decreased and branch growth is easier,which is in favor of formation of cellular structures.The grain growth is transformed from shallow cell to deep cell as a result of easy enrichment of solute at groove of cell grain with the interface thickness decrease.In addition,with the increase of the temperature gradient,the interfacial microstructure evolution is transformed from deep cell to shallow cell,then to planar interface.
摘要:Although there are many factors influencing die-casting die failure,thermal stress and mechanical stress subjected in working process are main responsible for the failure.The temperature field of a die casting die from a factory was simulated to understand the key parameters influencing temperature field changes in mould.The die-casting process was divided into four stages:die casting-solidification,open mold-pick up,spraying-clamping,clamping-next die-casting,and coupling numerical simulation for thermal stress and mechanical stress was conducted.Through analyzing stress changes at different area from different cross-sections,stress change mechanism was presented at different processing parameters,providing a data reference to predicting service life of mould.

摘要:With a help of a viscometer,the rheological properties of semi-solid Al-17Si-xFe(x=2,3,4,weight percentage,%)prepared were analyzed.The viscosity of Al-17Si-xFe in the constant temperatures of 100℃、50℃above the liquidus and 10℃、40℃below the liquidus,respectively,was measured,and the viscosity-temperature curve in the continuous cooling process was presented.The results show that the viscosities in the previous temperatures reaches 0.745 1、0.787 8、0.922 4、1.082 9Pa·s,respectively,which show with the temperature decreases,the viscosity is increased.With the iron content increasing from 2%to 4%,the viscosity of the alloys is increased too.However,with a higher iron content,the precipitation and sedimentation of the iron phases becomes serious in the temperature of 40 ℃below the liquidus with increasing in the holding time,which results in the decrease of the apparent viscosity of the melt to some extent.With increasing in the shearing time,the apparent viscosity of the alloys in the temperature of 40℃below the liquidus is decreased firstly and then increased.In the continuous cooling process,with the continuous decrease of the temperature,the solid fraction of the melt is gradually increased,and the apparent viscosity of the melt is increased slowly.When the temperature is reduced to some temperature near the solidus,the apparent viscosity of Al-17Si-xFe alloys is increased rapidly.In addition,at the same shear rate and to achieve the same solid fraction,the apparent viscosity of the melt is increased with the increase of cooling rate.
摘要:The semi-solid slurry of 7075aluminum alloy was prepared through a serpentine pouring channel,and influences of pouring temperature,the curve numbers and the curve diameters in the serpentine channel on the microstructure of semi-solid 7075alloy slurry were investigated.The results demonstrate that the semi-solid 7075aluminum alloy slurry with satisfied quality can be generated by a serpentine pouring channel and the solid shell inside the channel can be avoided with the pouring temperature in the range of 660℃~675℃.With a given pouring temperature,the equivalent size of the primary α-Al grains is decreased and the shape factor is increased with the increase of the curve numbers or the decrease of the curve diameters.During the slurry preparation of semi-solid 7075aluminum alloy,the alloy melt changes flow direction many times when it flows in a curved and closed serpentine channel,which result in the primary nuclei gradually evolving into spherical and near-spherical grains as a result of the effect of"stirring" in the serpentine curve.

摘要:Effects of Ca addition on the hot tearing susceptibility of Mg-7Al-2Si-0.8Zn-0.5Sr-0.4Mn casting alloys were investigated.The hot crack samples were prepared by metal molds with the same length.Hot tearing susceptibility was evaluated using crack-rod critical diameter and hot tearing sensitive coefficient.The hot tearing behavior of constituent phase of the alloys were analyzed with the help of optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and the detector of energy dispersive(EDX).The results show that the microstructure of the alloys is refined with Ca addition.With 3.0% Ca addition,both the crack-rod critical diameter and hot tearing sensitive coefficient exhibit the minimum value,and fractured areas ofα-Mg dendrite and eutectic are zero and 100%,respectively.Furthermore,the eutectic phase is tended to enrich at the cracks,which establishes the ability to fill the cracks,decreasing the hot tearing susceptibility of alloy.The lower hot tearing susceptibility of the alloy is corresponding to the higher tensile strength.

摘要:ZA4-1alloys were prepared in silicone rubber mould by centrifugal casting.Effects of titanium content on microstructures and mechanical properties of ZA4-1alloys were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),metallographic microscope and universal testing machine.The results show that with the increase of titanium content,the average grain degrees in the alloys is decreased firstly and then increased.With the titanium content of 0.08%,grain can be refined obviously with uniform distribution,and the comprehensive mechanical properties of the zinc alloy exhibit desirable.Increasing titanium content to 0.2%,the grains are coarse instead of smaller.The comprehensive mechanical properties are deteriorated as a result of precipitation of eutectic phase in grain boundaries and the enrichment of excessive Ti on the grain boundary resulting in defects.
