摘要:Continuous solidification experiments have been carried out with Al-Bi alloys under a role of direct current.The effects of direct current density,alloy composition,solidification speed and conductivity of matrix liquid and dispersion phase on the solidification structure of immiscible alloys were investigated.The results demonstrate that a direct current shows great effect on the microstructure evolution in a continuously solidified immiscible alloy,which accelerate the minority phase droplets(MPDs)to migrate along the radial direction during the liquid-liquid phase change process.When the electric conductivity of MPD is lower than that of the matrix liquid,the MPDs is migrated from the center to the surface of the sample under the direct currents.When the electric conductivity of MPD is higher than that of the matrix liquid,the MPDs is migrated from the surface to the center of the sample.
摘要:The effects of heat treatment on interfacial microstructure of solid-liquid compound Al/Mg bimetal processed by lost foam casting was investigated in order to explore the new process suitable for the Al/Mg bimetallic castings.The results reveal that the crack detect appears in the interface of the Al/Mg bimetal after homogenizing annealing+air cooling method,which is mainly attributed to the different expansion coefficient between matrix and intermetallic compound of the interface at a faster cooling rate,and the interface is easy to crack with large stress.While under the homogenizing annealing+furnace cooling condition,the interface is free of the crack defect,and a new diffusion layer composed by Al(Mg)solution+Mg2Si is formed between Al matrix and Al3Mg2+Mg2Si layer.With the increase of the homogenizing annealing time,the thickness of the new diffusion layer is constantly increased,and the grain size of theδ-Mg in the Al12 Mg17+δ-Mg eutectic is increased,and the Al12Mg17phase in the Mg matrix is dissolved into the primary phase continuously.Through multistep homogenizing annealing+aging treatment,interfacial microstructure and composition can be more uniform compared to the singlestep homogenizing annealing method,which induces the Al12Mg17phase in Mg matrix to precipitate with a fine lamellar structure.
摘要:Mg-8Zn-0.5Cu-xMn series alloys with different Mn content were prepared by electromagnetic induction smelting,and the effects of Mn on the microstructure and properties of the alloys were investigated.The results reveal that the as-cast alloy structure is mainly composed ofα-Mg+MgZn2 and MgZnCu phases.After the solid solution treatment,most of Zn elements are dissolved into the matrix and a small amount of Mg(Zn,Cu)2 phase remains at the grain boundary.After the two-stage aging treatment,the distribution of the second phase is more compact.With the increase of Mn content,the grain size of the alloy is obviously refined.When Mn content is increased to 1%,Mn elements in the alloy is agglomerated into Mn-enrichment particles.The as-aged Mg-8Zn-0.5Cu-0.5Mn alloy presents the satisifed comprehensive performance,and its yield strength,tensile strength and elongation reach up to 130 MPa,228 MPa and 6.8%,respectively.

摘要:The semi-solid rheomolding AZ91D auto tire active safety device parts were prepared.The effects of severe rolling friction on the semi-solid rheomolding AZ91D auto parts were analyzed by "the fatigue experiment" and "25 000 km road test of cars equipping with the sample parts" and "50 km road test of cars after sudden deflation of their tires".The results indicate that the heat generated by the severe rolling friction can increase the temperature of the parts sharply to increase the plasticity of the parts,which is responsible for the strain accumulation and shading holes at the crack tip of the semi-solid rheomolding AZ91D auto parts.Someα-Mg phases in the transient zone can be torn into thin strips about 110 nm in diameter or 31 nm sheets.The heat can cause the remelting of β-Mg17Al12 of the eutectic structure in the surface layer of the parts local firstly,and the molten liquid flows along long cracks at the fracture,so the content reduction of eutectic structure between the adjacentα-Mg phases can result in gaps of 700 to 2 700 nm.The hardness of part which failed at 36 km in the road test of cars after sudden deflation of their tires is decreased by 9.6%,and the maximum hardness position is moved 1 mm into the part,which are attributed to structure change in the surface layer and the high temperature annealing.

摘要:2524 aluminum alloy was carried out by optical fiber laser welding test and the influence of welding speed on the microstructure and mechanical properties of optical fiber laser welding joint was investigated by means of microstructure analysis,X-ray diffraction,tensile and hardness testing.The results illustrate that the welding speed has a significant effect on the joint.With the low welding speed,the heat input will be increased so that the weld joint can be collapsed.On the contrary,the lack of heat input will result in the joint welded incompletely.With the decrease of heat input,the weld width is decreased gradually,and the size of equiaxial dendritic crystals in the center of the weld is decreased,and the area of columnar dendritic crystals in the fusion zone becomes narrower.Meanwhile,the dendritic spacing is decreased,and the growth direction is enhanced.In the unidirectional tensile testing,the tensile strength of the joint is increased with the increase of welding speed,and it reaches up to the maximum value of 329.21 MPa at 75 mm/s,which is 73.15% of the base metal.The hardness curve of the joint presents U-shaped distribution,and the softening presents the most severe in the weld center.

摘要:The idea work of adhesion,density of state(DOS)and Millken charge distribution of TiC(111)/Mg(0001)interfaces with alloying elements(Al,Zn,Cu)were investigated by the plane wave pseudopotential method based on the first-principle density functional theory(DFT)to understand the effects of doping alloy elements(Al,Zn,Cu)in Mg Matrix on the stability of TiC(111)/Mg(0001)interface.The results show that for the ideal TiC(111)/Mg(0001)interface,the C-terminated center-site interface is the most stable after geometric optimization.When adding alloy elements(Al,Zn,Cu)to different positions in Mg phase,the idea work of adhesion,partial density of states and Millken charge distribution of the interfacial atoms,are changed in different degree.When doped atoms are in the non-interfacial layer,adhesion work has slight change,which has slight effect on the stability of TiC(111)/Mg(0001)interface.And when the doped atoms are in the interface layer,adhesion work has significant change,where the doped Al atoms and Cu is beneficial to improving the wettability of TiC(111)/Mg(0001)interface,enhancing the stability of the interface,with the satisfied effect of Al atom.Moreover,doped Zn atoms mainly combine with other atoms through metallic bonds instead of interfacial covalent bonds,resulting in a decrease in the adhesion work of the interface,which is adverse to improving the interface wettability.
摘要:The isothermal constant strain rate compression test of the forged TC20 titanium alloy was carried out by using Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator.The change of flow stress at 940~1 030℃and strain rate of 0.001~10 s-1 was investigated.According to the experimental data,the temperature-increment value under different deformation conditions was calculated,and the features of deformation heat generation were analyzed.Based on the superposition diagram of strain rate sensitivity exponent m contour map and instability map,the influence of thermal deformation parameters on the local flow behavior of the TC20 titanium alloy was analyzed combined with the verification of microstructure observation.The results show that the flow stress of TC20 titanium alloy is decreased with the increase of the deformation temperature and increased with the increase of the strain rate.The temperature-increment caused by the deformation heat effect is increased with the increase of the strain rate and decreased with the increase of the deformation temperature.With deformation at 940~990℃and high strain rate of 0.32~10 s-1,the alloy is prone to local flow with the deformation temperature decreasing and the strain rate increasing.

摘要:Based on Simufact software,the three-dimensional elastic-plastic FE model of cold and hot spinning of CuSn8 Palloy cylinder was established.The reliability was validated by experiments,and the variation of spinning force and the distribution of stress and strain in the large plastic deformation zone were analyzed.The results indicate that the radial spinning force is the primary driving force of the spinning forming,followed by the axial force,and the tangential force is the mininum value.The maximum value of the equivalent stress always appears in the three-wheel operating area,while the equivalent plastic strain always presents a gradient distribution that both ends are increased towards the middle in the axial direction and its maximum value is located at the formed zone.With the fixed other parameters,the values of spinning force and equivalent stress in hot spinning forming are less than those in cold spinning,while the equivalent plastic strain is the reverse.
