摘要:The microstructures and properties of squeeze casting hypereutectic Al-17.5Si alloy after hot extrusion were analyzed.The results show that there are some effects of squeeze casting parameters on the microstructure of hypereutectic Al-17.5Si alloy,and the eutectic structure is refined significantly,and coralline eutectic Si phase is transformed into small needle-like ones.With the squeeze casting pressure increase,the coarse primary Si phases are reduced significantly and theα-Al dendrites are generated with more developed shape.After hot extrusion,microstructures of the squeeze casting hypereutectic Al-17.5Si alloy is changed greatly,and the absence of developedα-Al dendrite can be observed,and the small needle-like eutectic Si phases are broken into particles,and then are dispersed uniformly in the matrix of alloy after severe deformation.After hot extrusion forming,the properties of the squeeze casting hypereutectic Al-17.5Si alloy are improved greatly,especially the plasticity.After the hot extrusion forming of the squeeze casting billets at 320 MPa,tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reach158.82 MPa and 11.65%,respectively,which are increased by 84.13% and 441.86%,compared with those of the casting alloy.

摘要:Effects of slit runner width on microstructure and mechanical properties of the A357 aluminums alloy castings were investigated by designing different width of the runner,FEM simulation analysis and tensile testing.The results indicate that the solid phase is solidified nearby the heat exchange interface,and gradually transferred to the core area due to effect of interface heat transfer.Segregated shrinkage metallurgical defects can be observed as a result of the feeding distance of slit runner when the ratio of slit runner width with casting wall-thickness is low,however,in turn,lots of oxide inclusions and shrinkage porosities can be generated under influence of critical pressure of the cross section and extraction at the end of the solidification process.The peak value of tensile strength,yield strength and elongation can be presented when the proportionality coefficient between slit runner width and thickness size of casting is set to 1.2,where their reach 342 MPa,310MPa and 9.4%,respectively,and the fracture morphology is characterized by dimple fracture mechanism.

摘要:The microstructure and tensile strength at 1 100 ℃ of high W cast superalloy with W content of 12.0%,13.0%,15.5% and 16.5%(mass fraction)were investigated.The results show that with the increase of W content,the secondaryγ′phase is grown up into irregular shapes from regular square shape,and volume fraction is increased from 51.1%to 61.8%firstly and then decreased to 55.3%.The high temperature strength at 1 100℃of the superalloy is increased from 405 MPa to 488 MPa firstly and then decreased to 433 MPa.The alloy with low W content exhibits low tensile strength,which is mainly attributed to insufficient reinforcement of secondaryγ′phase,while for high W content superalloy,decrease of strength is attributed to the precipitation ofα(W)induced insufficient reinforcement of secondaryγ′phase.The tensile strength of alloys with W content of 13.0% and 15.5% has a higher strength,which reach 440488 MPa at 1 100 ℃.
