摘要:The effects of secondary aging stress on electrochemical corrosion of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy(7 A04)with two-stage stress aging were investigated in 3.5%NaCl solution by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The results indicate that with the increase of the stress in 0~300 MPa,the corrosion potential of 7 A04 aluminum alloys is increased and then decreased,while the self-corrosion current density is varied to the contrary.The alloy possesses the best electrochemical corrosion resistance with the aging stress of200 MPa,where the corrosion potential is-0.753 Vand the self-corrosion current density is 5.249×10-7 A·cm-2.Compared with stress-free and single-stage stress aging,the corrosion potential and AC impedance of 7 A04 aluminum alloy with two-stage stress aging are the higher and the self-corrosion current density is the lower,while its effect on pitting corrosion potential is not obvious.The change of precipitation phase distribution and size in 7 A04 aluminum alloy after stress aging are responsible for improving its electrochemical corrosion resistance.

摘要:The influences of different Al content on the damping performance of pure magnesium were investigated. The results show that with a lower Al addition, the Al atoms mainly exist in form of solid solution atoms and it will not significantly reduce the damping behavior of the magnesium alloy, while with a higher Al content, a second phase Mg17Al12 can be observed in the alloy to refine the grains, meanwhile the damping performance of the alloy is greatly reduced. The critical damping strain of the alloy is increased with the increase of Al content. In heating damping, the Mg-0.25 Al alloy has dislocation peaks and grain boundary internal friction peaks at 60 ℃ and 260 ℃, respectively. The increase of Al solid solution atoms will hinder the appearance of damping peaks.
摘要:Ultrasonic treatment of Al-6.2 Cu-0.36 Mn alloy melt at 710℃ was carried out. The comprehensive effects of ultrasonic treatment with different durations on hydrogen content, grain size, morphology and distribution of eutectic structure in Al-6.2 Cu-0.36 Mn alloy were investigated. The results show that with the increase of ultrasonic treatment time, the porosity in the solidified microstructure of the ingot is reduced with the degassing efficiency up to 53.8%, meanwhile, the grain is obviously refined and the refinement rate is up to 73.6%. In addition, the agglomerated eutectic microstructure is transformed into discontinuous strips. The effect of cavitation and acoustic flow caused by ultrasonic vibration can raise the nucleation rate and promote the uniform distribution of solute, which is the main reason for the improvement of solidification structure of the Al-6.2 Cu-0.36 Mn alloy ingot.
摘要:TiC-reinforced β21 S titanium alloy matrix composites were prepared with electric arc furnace smelting using SiC as the raw material. The influence of the content of SiC(0, 0.2% and 0.4%) on microstructure and properties of β-titanium alloy-based composites was analyzed. In addition, the effect of heat treatment on microstructure and properties of deformed composites was also expounded. The results show that in-situ precipitated TiC precipitated presents a slender strip. With the increase of SiC content, the precipitated TiC becomes short. The existence of TiC phase can significantly increase the hardness of the β21 S alloy. When SiC addition is 0.4%, the hardness of the composites reaches 484 HV. After deformation and solution-aging treatment, the elongated TiC phase is decomposed and spheroidized into small granular TiC phases. The dispersed TiC phase can greatly inhibit the formation and movement of dislocations, thereby further increasing the hardness of the β21 S alloy. After solution treatment at 840 ℃ for 20 min and aging at 600 ℃ for 8 h, the hardness of the 0.4% SiC-added composites is increased by 4 times compared with the as-cast state, reaching 2 572 HV.
摘要:Based on the structural features of the current electromagnetic braking(EMBr) configuration, a new type of EMBr was proposed, which can be applied to the thin slab continuous casting process, namely Vertical-Combined Electromagnetic Braking(VC-EMBr). The multiple behaviors of metallurgical in CSP funnel-shaped mold were numerically simulated under the brake of VC-EMBr through ANSYS FLUENT commercial software. The results indicate that the horizontal magnetic poles of VC-EMBr can reduce the penetration depth of molten steel and promote the floatation and removal of inclusions. The vertical magnetic poles of VC-EMBr can suppress the molten steel surface velocity and improve the homogeneous temperature distribution in the mold region, which accelerate the uniform growth of solidified shell, and then achieve the metallurgical effect of electromagnetic braking.
摘要:AZ31 B Mg alloy samples after finish turning processing were treated by using HK30 C USRP machine, and effects of different rolling rate on microstructure of the AZ31 B alloy were analyzed. The results indicate that the surface roughness of 0.100 9 μm is decreased by 91.8% compared with the untreated specimen(Ra=1.232 6 μm). The severe plastic deformation in the surface of AZ31 B is formed by USRP, and the grains in the surfaces layer of AZ31 B are remarkably refined. The microstructure in surface region of the USRPed specimens is presented as nanostructure whose average grain size is decreased by 98% compared with the interior grains, and the depth of the grain refinement in surface layer after USRPed reaches about 270 μm. Meanwhile, the surface microhardness is increased by 117.14% compared with the interior ones. The wear resistance of AZ31 B Mg alloy samples is significantly improved after USRP. The friction coefficient is decreased from 0.337 to 0.279. The mass loss is reduced from 32.44 mg to 9.07 mg. The surface roughness reduction, grain refinement and extreme plastic deformation caused by USRP are responsible for promoting the hardness and wear resistance of AZ31 B Mg alloy.

摘要:The corrosion behaviour of 2 A12 aluminum alloy in marine environment was simulated based on the COMSOL. The results show that the pitting corrosion occurrs under the action of Cl- at the beginning of the corrosion. Subsequently, the corrosion is developed into intergranular corrosion at 175 h, and eventually evolved into comprehensive corrosion with the advance of the reaction, which is completely corroded at 280 h. However, the corrosion rate is significantly increased in model containing the IMP. The corrosion is developed into intergranular corrosion at 75 h, and finally evolved into comprehensive corrosion, which is completely corroded at 240 h. A large amount of Al(OH)3, which is generated by electrochemical corrosion, is deposited on the surface of the pit, preventing the contact between electrolyte and substrate and thus inhibiting corrosion. Simulation results show that with prolonging corrosion time, the self-corrosion current density of 2 A12 alloy is decreased firstly and then increased until the corrosion is end.

摘要:Numerical simulation technology was used to analyze the extrusion load, temperature field, equivalent strain field and microstructure of TC4 titanium alloy in the process of equal channel angular pressing at different conditions. The results show that with the increase of extrusion temperature, the plasiticity of the TC4 alloy is increased, while the deformation difficulty and the load required for extrusion are reduced. In the process of extrusion speed increasing, the variation of maximum equivalent strain value becomes more sensitive, which is decreased fast with the increase of extrusion speed. Through multi pass extrusion deformation, the maximum equivalent strain is even multiplied, and the accumulated plastic deformation of the specimens is increased, with the significant grain refinement effect. Overall, the grain refining effect is optimized under the extrusion temperature of 350 ℃, extrusion rate of 4 passes and extrusion speed of 0.5 mm/s.

摘要:The numerical simulation method was used to understand the smelting process of the stainless steel micro-melt pool under the laser during the selective lasermelting process. The effects of laser power, spot diameter and laser loading time on the fluid motion in the micro-melt pool were investigated. The results reveal that increase of laser power and reduction of the spot diameter can effectively reduce the height of fluid vortex and increase the flow velocity of fluid. The molten pool can reach the stableflow state with using a spot diameter of 200 W, 20 μm or 400 W, 40 μm as the heat source.
摘要:ProCAST software was used to simulate the mold filling and solidification process based on a theoretically designed gating system for obtaining a reasonable camshaft cap die-casting mold. The results show that the 6-runner scheme can result in multi-flow confluence, causing gas entrapment and shrinkage defects, while a 5-runner scheme can reduce the gas and internal porosity in die castings.The locations and volume of the pores were predicted by simulation of solidification, shrinkage holes(porosities), and then an optimized scheme removing an overflow groove was proposed, which could significantly shorten the solidification time. X-ray inspection and cutting surface of the key position of the die-cast castings show that absence of shrinkage hole in the product can be observed. The efficiency of mold design can be improved by die-casting simulation, and the production efficiency as well as product quality can be enhanced though pouring system optimization.

It is found that shrinkage hole, shrinkage cracks at local wall-thickness or internal casting defects such as shrinkage porosities can be observed in the aluminum alloy die castings without Al-Ti-B refiner modification treatment, while the alloy with Al-5 Ti-1 B refiner modification treatment, the defects in the alloy can be improved greatly. In addition, the mechanical properties of the alloy with Al-5 Ti-1 B refiner modification treatment are superior to those of one without Al-5 Ti-1 B modification treatment.

摘要:The lead-free and free cutting 2011 aluminum alloy bars were prepared by Bi and Sn substituted for Pb. The effects of Bi content on microstructure, mechanical properties and cutting properties of 2011 aluminum alloy bar were investigated by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope, tensile testing machine and high-speed lathe. The results reveal that Bi mainly exists in form of BiSn eutectic phase in aluminum alloy bars when the Bi content is 0.2%. When the content of Bi is more than 0.2%, Bi exists in form of Bi phase and BiSn eutectic phase. The higher the Bi content is, the more the amount of Bi phase and BiSn eutectic phase are, so the cutting performance of aluminum alloy bar is improved and the chip length is decreased. However, the tensile strength and elongation of aluminum alloy bar are decreased slightly with the increase of Bi content. When the Bi content is increased to 1%, the average chip length of aluminum alloy bar, the tensile strength and the elongation are 3 mm, 283.5 MPa and 25.9%,respectively.
摘要:During the trial production of an integrated exhaust manifold aluminum cylinder head, a serious shrinkage defect was observed the threaded hole position of the inlet and exhaust side on the large end face of the timing side, and the rejection rate reached up to 26%. The solidification process of the casting was simulated by the AnyCasting software, and the origination of the defect was analyzed. The simulated results indicate that the hot spot is formed due to local thickness of the shrinkage, and then shrinkage cracking occurs during solidification, which leads to shrinkage defect.Therefore, some improvement measures were taken including the adding water-cooled inserts into the mold at the porosity position and setting up a riser, and absence of shrinkage defect was found in the continuous production of 30 cylinder heads.

摘要:Cu-2 Ag alloy wire rod was prepared by three chamber vacuum cold mold vertical drawing continuous casting technology. The effects of different drawing deformation on microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of Cu-2 Ag alloy were investigated. The results reveal that the as-cast microstructure of Cu-2 Ag alloy wire rod is mainly distributed in the form of dispersed "spinning cloth" dendrites. With the increase of deformation, the grains are gradually refined and broken, and the cross-section microstructure is extruded and twisted, so the grain boundary becomes fuzzy. Fiber structure is formed in the longitudinal section. With the increase of deformation, the fiber grain spacing is decreased, and the outer fiber structure spacing is smaller than the core. The tensile strength is increased rapidly from 205 MPa to 594 MPa, the elongation is decreased from 38%to 3.5%, and the electrical conductivity is decreased from 53.418 MS/m to 50.750 MS/m through multi pass continuous drawing. SEM fracture analysis shows that the fracture mode is characterized by dimple fracture into shear fracture.

摘要:Sn-1.0 Ag-0.5 Cu-0.06 Sm lead-free composite solders were prepared by mechanically mixing method. The effects of creep on the matrix microstructure and interface morphology as well as mechanical properties of Cu/Sn-1.0 Ag-0.5 Cu-0.06 Sm/Cu solder joints were investigated by SEM, EDS and bond strength tester. The results reveal that under the action of long-term high temperature creep, Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5 phases can be continuously precipitated in the matrix structure of the solder joints, which is merged, grown and aggregated. The morphology of the IMC layer continuously is grown from a scallop shape in the reflow state to a relatively flat and thick layer, and transformed from Cu6Sn5 single phase to two phases of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn, resulting in decrease of 21.3% in the tensile strength of the solder joint compared with that of the reflux state.
摘要:The effects of Co addition on the electrical conductivity, hardness and corrosion resistance of Cu-Ni-Si alloy were investigated. The results show that the electrical conductivity of alloy is increased by adding 0.1%Co, and the excessive addition of Co leads to the decrease of electrical conductivity. The hardness and corrosion resistance in 3.5%NaCl aqueous solution of specimens are gradually enhanced with the increase of Co addition. By adjusting the amount of Co addition and the aging time, the adjustable range of hardness is 200~266 HV and that of electrical conductivity is 17.40~26.10 MS/m.
