摘要:CNTs/Nb-20 Si composites with 1%,2%and 3% CNTs addition were prepared at 1 500℃and150 ℃/min by spark plasma sintering(SPS),and effects of CNTs content on microstructures and properties of Nb/Nb5Si3 in situ composites were investigated.The results show that the in-situ composites consist of Nb,α-Nb5Si3andγ-Nb5Si3 phase.With CNTs content addition more than 2%,the new phase Nb4C3 can be observed in the composites,which may be attributed to CNTs structure being destroyed in a ball or sintering process to take place the chemical reaction.At the same sintering process parameters,the densities of the composites are decreased obviously with the increase of CNTs content.The maximum hardness(HRC)66of the composites prepared can be presented with 2%addition of CNTs.However,with CNTs addition more than 2%,the relative densities and hardness are decreased as a result of poor interfacial adhesion.The relative densities and hardness of the composites are increased with the increase of holding time and pressure.
摘要:Based on the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules(EET),the valence electron structures(VES)of solid solution was calculated and the mechanism of alloy elements of titanium alloy was analyzed from valence electron view.It is shown that the bigger the share electron pairs nAin the strongest valence band,the more the solution strengthening effect of alloy element of solid solution.The bigger nAis,the more difficult for the strongest band to be broken up,the lower the solid phase transition temperature ofα/(α+β).The bigger the covalence electron densityρc,the more stable solid solution,and the more the effect of alloy element onα/(α+β)phase transition,the lower the phase transition temperature.The biggerρcis,the smaller nAis,the narrower the(α+β)two-phase region of solid solution.On the contrary,with the decrease ofρc,nAis increased,so the(α+β)two-phase region is enlarged.

摘要:Effects of Ni additions on the microstructure of Mg98-xGd2Nix(x=0,0.5,1.0,mole fraction)alloys were investigated using OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscope),EDS(energy dispersed spectrometer)and XRD(X-ray diffraction).The as-cast Mg98Gd2 alloy is composed of dendriteα-Mg matrix and Mg5 Gd phase.With the addition of 0.5% Ni,a new X phase instead of Mg5 Gd phase can be observed in the Mg97.5Gd2Ni0.5alloy with 27%in area fraction.With the increase of Ni addition from 0.5 % to 1.0%,the new phase structures in the Mg97Gd2Ni1 alloy can not be observed,while the area fraction of X phase is increased from 27% to 42%.During solid solution treatment at 500 ℃,with increasing in treating time,the Mg5 Gd phase in the Mg98Gd2 alloy is completely dissolved gradually.However,the Xphase in the Mg97.5Gd2Ni0.5or Mg97Gd2Ni1 alloy exhibits thermally stable with treating for 20 h.Meanwhile,the obvious growth of secondary dendrite arm spacing ofα-Mg matrix in the Mg97.5Gd2Ni0.5or Mg97Gd2Ni1 alloy is absent,which shows that the Xphase exhibits desirable thermal stability and inhibit effectively the growth of theα-Mg matrix.

摘要:The equilibrium solidification phase diagram of Al-11.91Si-3.5Cu-1.69Ni-0.75 Mg was simulated by using phase diagram calculation software Pandat,and heating DSC curve was used to determine the distribution of endothermic peak of the alloy.The first endothermic peak occurs at 502.7 ℃,corresponding to the Al2 Cu transition temperature based on analysis of the phase diagram.In order to prevent the over-burning from melting of Al2 Cu,the solid solution temperature should be lower 510℃than the beginning of the first endothermic peak.Based on the above results,a single step solution such as at495 ℃for 6h、10h、14h,was presented.The DSC results also reveal that the temperature of the first endothermic peak is increased to 522.1 ℃ after solution at 495 ℃for 2h,which is beneficial for aging treatment as a result of high solution temperature promoting high element solution.Based on the above results,the two step solution,such as at 495℃for 2hand at 515℃for 4h、8h、12h,was designed to compare with single step solid solution results.Artificial aging at 200 ℃ for all the sample after the completion of solution treatment was conducted to draw the aging curves,and tensile properties were measured under the peak-aged condition.The optimized heat treatment was presented as follows:two step solution at 495℃for 2hand at 515℃for 8hwith aging at 200℃for 4h,where the ultimate tensile strength reaches 367 MPa from 212 MPa and the elongation reaches 0.66% from 0.44% at as-cast condition.
