摘要:Using first-principles pseudo-potential plane wave method,the formation enthalpy,cohesive energy,density of states and electric density of difference were calculated and analyzed for NiTi(B)and NiTi(Nb,B)phase after boron elements adulterating process.The results show that in NiTi basic crystal,boron atom has much more formation ability in 4Ti2Ni octahedron structure than that in 4Ni2Ti. However,in NiTi(Nb)solid solution crystal,the nearest neighbor site of B-Nb is more stable than the next nearest neighbor site,and the formation ability of the former impurity site is stronger than the next one.The simulation of density of states and electronic density difference shows boron preferring to bonding with Ti atoms and Nb atom,while the bond strength of B-Ni is weak.Such bonding process results in the action of Ti atoms decreasing and the ratio of Ni/Ti increasing,deteriorating the properties of NiTiNb alloy by boron impurity.

The sheet rolled at 250 ℃ exhibits excellent mechanical properties,and the tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the sheets reach 327.5MPa,213.2MPa and 29.8%,respectively.
摘要:Based on the principle of differential pressure casting,the vacuum assisted differential-pressure infiltration method was newly developed to fabricate continuous carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites(Cf /Al).Microstructure,fibre distribution,interface phase constituent and fracture morphology of the Cf /Al composites were investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).Bending strength of the composites prepared was tested by three-point bending experiment.The results show that microstructure of the composites exhibit dense,and the fibers are distributed homogeneously with desirable bonding with the aluminum alloy.The fine Al4 C3 and Mg2 Si phase with small aspect ratios can be found which is distributed discontinuously at the C/Al interface.The bending strength of the composites reaches 1 078 MPa at room temperature.The partial fiber extraction and interface debonding on the fracture surface indicate obvious characteristic of ductile fracture in the composites,which can be attributed to the moderate interface strength of the composites.

摘要:Microstructures of a cast Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb alloy without melt treatment and with melt cycle treatment for 10,15and 20 cycles in solid-liquid region(1 4801 510℃)were investigated by OM coptical microscope and SEM(scanning electron microscope).The results show that the melt treatment has a significant role in the refinement of grain sizes in the alloys.The microstructure of the alloy is characterized by coarse columnar morphology without melt treatment,while it is characterized by small fine equiaxed grain from coarse lamellar cluster with the melt cycle treatment for 10,15and 20 cycles,and it is more uniformly distributed in the microstructure.At the faster heating stages in the melt cycle treatment process,the remelting of grain occurs,resulting in the separation of broken dendrite with the matrix to act as nuclei in subsequently solidification.Meanwhile,under the action of electromagnetic force, the solute field and temperature field are uniformly distributed to inhibit the occurrence of composition undercooling,which is responsible for the refinement of grain size.

摘要:In situ Al2O3 particle reinforced Al matrix composites were synthesized by direct melt reaction assisted with indirect ultrasonic treatment in Al and CuO system.The results show that ultrasonic treatment can promote in situ reaction.With ultrasonic treatment,Al2O3 particles size is about 12μm in diameter with dispersedly uniform distribution both in the grains and the grain boundaries.Furthermore, the quantity of Al2 O3 particles with ultrasonic treatment is more than that without ultrasonic treatment. The optimal temperature of indirect ultrasonic treatment is about 665675 ℃.It is beneficial for the dispersed distribution and generation of Al2 O3 particles with holding at 875℃for 30min after ultrasonic treatment.The acoustic streaming effect and acoustic cavitation effect during ultrasonic treatment can improve wettability between Al melt and CuO powder and can disperse the agglomerated CuO powder. The mechanism of the promotion is the optimization of kinetic and thermodynamic environment in the reaction.

摘要:Influences of trace Al on as-cast microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Nd-Zr alloy were investigated at room temperature by XRD(X-ray diffraction),SEM(scanning electron microscope)and tensile testing.The phase constituent,deposition change of the composition and fracture mode of the alloy prepared were analyzed.The results show that the as-cast Mg-Gd-Y-Nd-Zr magnesium alloy is mainly composed ofα-Mg matrix and equiaxed eutectic phase with the size of 40μm approximately.Meanwhile,the composition deviation of ingot in axial is very low,and grain size is uniformly distributed in the ingot.The composition distribution exhibits apparently changes after adding trace Al, and difference of the grain size between the top and bottom appears remarkably.In addition,the mechanical properties of the alloy with trace Al are varied with locations and less than those of the Mg-Gd-YNd-Zr.Alloy fracture mode is mainly characterized by brittle fracture along the grain boundary with obvious secondary cracks.With Al addition,Al2 RE and Al3 Zr phases can be observed in the alloy,resulting in the heterogeneous distribution of composition in the melt as a result of deposition and leading to the great coarseness of the grain size because of the decrease of Zr content at the top.Due to the generation of Al2 RE and Al3 Zr phases,as-cast microstructure is deteriorated and elongation is decreased,and alloy crack is characterized by brittle fracture.
摘要:Effects of low voltage pulsed magnetic field(LVPMF)on refinement of eutectic silicon in ZL108 alloy and its frictional properties were investigated.The results show that the eutectic silicon is refined significantly by LVPMF treatment,where eutectic silicon phase is transformed from coarse acicular structure into the co-existence of fine short fibre-like and particle-like ones with increasing in discharge frequency.The wear resistance of ZL108 alloy treated by LVPMF is significantly superior to that untreated by LVPMF.The analysis of worn surface indicates that wear mechanism of the ZL108 alloy untreated by LVPMF is characterized by adhesive wear and delamination wear,while it is mainly controlled by abrasive wear with slight adhesive wear in the ZL108 alloy treated by LVPMF.
