摘要:Effects of Sr addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-cast Al-7Si-Mg alloy have been investigated.The results indicate that the grain size is increased with the addition of Sr element,and the morphology of primary dendrite is transformed to columnar structure.With the increase of Sr addition,the morphology of eutectic Si is changed from coarse planar or acicular structure to fine fibrous one.Meanwhile,the Al-Si-Sr ternary phases can be observed in the alloy with gathered along the interface of eutectic and primary α-Al with 0.06% Sr.With 0.04% Sr addition,the tensile strength and elongation of the as-cast Al-7Si-Mg alloy reach a desirable value,increased by 8.4 MPa and by 68.4%,respectively,compared with those of the unmodified alloy.
摘要:The Ag-Cu-RE(Ce) amorphous films were prepared on surface of die casting aluminum alloy by high vacuum ion beam sputtering method to improve its surface roughness.SEM(scanning electron microscope) and AFM(atomic force microscope) were employed to observe the surface morphology of the films.The results reveal that the film surface exhibits uniform and smooth,which can prevent the pitting corrosion from aluminum alloy.Electrochemical measurements show that the corrosion potential of the films is significantly higher than that of the aluminum substrate.In the corrosion tests,the amorphous films can desirably protect the aluminum substrate as a result of absence of exfoliation,significantly improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy.

摘要:The solidification behavior,hot cracking and microstructure of Al-7Zn-2.5Mg-Cu alloy were investigated with hot tear-linear contraction ZQS2000 twin bar tester for alloy,OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscope) and EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer).The results show that the cooling rate and linear shrinkage of the alloy are rapidly increased firstly and then increased slowly during the solidification,and its shrinkage stress is generated and then increased dramatically with the dendrites formed a solid skeleton.The formation and propagation of the hot crack is located along the grain boundary of the α-Al matrix phase,which is depended on the rate of the proeutectic volumetric shrinkage and the ability of the liquid feeding before the eutectic reaction,and the eutectic shrinkage in the eutectic reaction process.The hot cracking tendency of the alloy is decreased with decrease of rate of the proeutectic volumetric shrinkage,the stronger ability of the liquid feeding as well as the less shrinkage of the eutectic.

摘要:The microstructure and mechanical properties of ADC14 squeeze castings were analyzed.It is found that there exist porosities in the different location,and the porosity contents are increased with increasing in distance from the ingate.In addition,serious enrichment and segregation of the primary Si particles appeared in the central of the casting gauge parts,which should be responsible for the inferior mechanical properties.In the early solidification,non-equilibrium crystallization happens and a large number of primary phase α-Al is formed at the casting surface as a result of squeezing force and high cooling rate,resulting in Si enrichment in the residual liquid.Furthermore,during following solidification periods,the forced feeding flow resulted from squeeze force made the Si riched liquid flow to the center of the gauge part,which are responsible for the serious positive segregation of Si contents and particles there.

摘要:Based on the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules,the valence electron structures of Ω、S and θ’ in Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys were calculated,and the relationship between the phases of Ω、S with θ’ and heat stability was analyzed with the help of the covalence electron pairs n A of the strongest covalence bond.It is shown that the value of nA of Ω、S and θ’ is 0.659 1,0.562 6 and 0.491 7,respectively,which is far bigger than that of the matrix α-Al and responsible for the second phase strengthening.The heat stability of Ω is higher than that of S and θ’,which is attributed to the higher covalence bond strength of Ω than that of S and θ’,so the nucleation of S and θ’ should be restrained to promote the nucleation of Ω as possible as to prepare Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys with better high-temperature properties.

摘要:Three QCr0.5 wires with initial diameters of 7 mm,5 mm and 3 mm were cold drawn through different drawing passes with average strains of 0.05 and 0.1,respectively,to obtain the samples with different strain rate.The hardness and electrical conductivity of the samples obtained were measured and the microstructures were observed to understand the effects of initial diameter and drawing passes on microstructures and properties of QCr0.5 wires.The results show that the electrical conductivity of the cold drawn samples with different initial diameters is decreased with increasing in the strain,where the samples with 7 mm have the maximum decrement value,the samples with 5 mm are the second,and samples with 3 mm have the lowest decrement value.The electrical conductivity of the samples with different drawing passes is decreased slowly with increasing in the strain under the same initial diameter,and the hardness is increased rapidly firstly,and then decreased slowly to a constant tendency.The decrease of electrical conductivity of the samples with average strain of 0.1 is more rapid than that one with the average strain of 0.05,and it is decreased by approximately 37%,however,the hardness is always the higher,where the highest hardness can reach to 114 HV.The microstructure observation reveals that the microstructure evolution of QCr0.5 is characterized by the uneven deformation of the internal and external structure,and the deformation degree of the external structure exhibits more severe.With the deformation increase,the deformation of internal and external structure tends to be homogeneous.
