摘要:The dynamically changing and combining boundary condition in LMC and the microstructure evolution were simulated by a self-developed software Teccast.Macro-micro structure simulation of blade was conducted at different directional solidification process.The results reveal that the narrower mushy zone can be obtained by LMC compared to the mushy zone in HRS,especially in the thick position.Because of larger temperature gradient and less concave mushy zone by LMC,stray grain can be avoided at higher withdrawal rate.To improve the product efficiency of the hollow SX blade,higher withdrawal rate can be adopted within the range limited by thermal stress.
摘要:The CrxCuFe2Mo0.5Nb0.5Ni2(x=0,0.5,1.0,2.0,mol)high entropy alloys were prepared by arc melting process.The phase,microstructure,element distribution and hardness of the alloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and digital display Vickers hardness tester.The results show that the alloys are composed of a mixed structure of FCC,BCC and HCP solid solutions.The increase of Cr content is beneficial for the formation of BCC phase.The microstructure of the alloys is mainly characterized by a dendrite and interdendrite structure.The Nb,Mo and Cu are mostly segregated in dendrite and interdendrite regions,respectively,while the Fe,Cr,and Ni are homogeneously distributed in the alloys.The hardness has a slight increase with the increase of Cr content.

摘要:Equal channel angular pressing(ECAP),as one of the most effective methods for producing ultra-fine grain materials(UFG),whose principle is that through pressing the billet in the die with two channels intersecting at an angle repeatedly,high shear strain is imposed on the sample,and thus the grain size is refined.However,experiments show that cracking or fracture usually occurs in the vicinity of upper surface of the extruded specimen even only after a few passes with conventional die(90°).The tensile stress occurs in the vicinity of upper surface of the specimen in the severe plastic deformation zone,which increases the crack and fracture tendency of the specimen and impedes the further ECAP processing.2A12aluminum alloy was tested by ECAP.The results reveal that in the Crouth four passes,extruding effect exhibits desirable,and the grain refinement is improved,where elongation is increased by 10.3%,and maximum hardness is increased by 46.4%.
摘要:Two schemes of the metal mold low pressure series casting method for producing aluminum alloy conductor were analyzed comparatively.Two schemes adopted one mould-multi parts.Compared with one mould-two parts in metal mold low pressure casting,casting quality is more desirable with higher production efficiency and lower cost.Horizontal parting scheme can complete the entire production process under condition of absence of core pulling mechanism,however,each piece must set a vent or the upper ejector rod to prevent the occurrence of casting top pocket and misrun.Vertical type scheme can complete the whole production process under condition of absence of mechanism with upper mold,and the misrun and top pocket can be eliminated as a result of exhaustion from parting face.
