摘要:The Nb44Ti28Ni28-xFex(x=0, 5, 10, 15) ingots were prepared by the non-consumable vacuum arc melting. The microstructure of the ingot was analyzed by the scanning electron microscope(SEM-Quanta 200 FEG) and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results reveal that microstructure of Nb44Ti28Ni28-xFex alloys is composed of the primary phases and eutectics when x≤10, while the NbFe phases are precipitated in the subeutectic structure when x>10. The hydrogen solubility, hydrogen permeability and hydrogen diffusion of Nb44Ti28Ni28-xFex(x=0, 5, 10) alloys were systematically investigated. The results indicate that the hydrogen solubility of alloys is slightly decreased with the increase of Fe content, while the permeability is increased at first and then decreased. The Nb44Ti28Ni23Fe5 alloy exhibits the optimal hydrogen permeability at temperatures above 523 K, and it is 1.5 times higher than that of Nb44Ti28Ni28 alloy at 673 K, which mainly benefits from the substantially increase of intrinsic hydrogen diffusion coefficient.
摘要:High-entropy alloys(HEAs) have aroused extensive attention because of the excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Arc smelting,as the main process in the traditional preparation, has the problems such as single shape, limited size and easy segregation, which limits the theoretical research and industrial manufacturing applications of high-entropy alloys. However, the additive manufacturing technology can realize the rapid melting and solidification of high-entropy alloys with complex structure and larger sizes by the input of high energy density. The research on the preparation of high-entropy alloys by additive manufacturing technology in recent years was reviewed in detail, focusing on the structural evolution, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and composition design of high-entropy alloys by additive manufacturing technology at home and abroad. The research progress in additive manufacturing high-entropy alloy in recent years and the characteristics of various high-entropy alloy preparation methods were summarized, and the prospective development direction of additive manufacturing high-entropy alloy was discussed.

摘要:The ingots of AlCrNiTiSix(x=0,0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1) high-entropy alloys were fabricated by vacuum arc melting. The microstructure was analyzed through a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. The results reveal that AlCrNiTiSix high entropy alloys present all typical of dendritic structures, and the dendrite region is composed of FCC-structured AlNi2Ti phase and Cr-rich Laves phase, while the interdendritic region consists of a solid solution phase of four elements. The increase of Si content has significant effect on the dendrite region, which results in the transformations from the AlNi2Ti phase to the AlNi phase, and the Cr-rich Laves phase to(Cr,Ti)5Si3 phase. The interdendritic region is dominated by solid solutions of multiple elements. In addition, the hardness is increased with the addition of Si elements, which is attributed to the solid solution strengthening and the replacement of Laves phase by higher hardness(Cr,Ti)5Si3 phase. The experimental results were basically consistent with the simulated ones, The γ phase and BCC phase predicted by the simulation didn’t appear in the experimental ones.
摘要:Comprehensive considering the models of thermal gradient-solidification rate and Rayleigh number, an integrated criterion model for predicting freckle defects was established via the secondary development of ProCAST. C++ program was used to compile a plug-in code, and the simulation of freckle defects in single crystal(SC) blades was realized. The forming reasons of freckle defects were also analyzed by combining the temperature filed, flow field and the macro segregation of Re element. Freckle defects in stepped SC castings were investigated by different criteria models and comparison with the experimental results in the reference. The results indicate that the integrated criterion model can predict the occurrence of freckle defects accurately, which may provide theoretical support for the actual production of SC blades.

摘要:The relationship between microstructures and bendability of two kinds of 6016 aluminum alloy sheets with different Mg contents was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and electron back scattered diffraction(EBSD). The results indicate that the bendability is dependent of precipitation free zone(PFZ) and texture. The further analysis reveals that the Mg contents affect distribution of phases and proportion of textures, which is a key factor influencing bendability of 6016 aluminum alloy.

摘要:There appeared a lot of cracking phenomena in the low pressure casting valve body parts of CuZn36 Bi0.8 bismuth-brass in the subsequent machining process. The origination of cracks in the low pressure casting valve body part of bismuth-brass was analyzed by means of SEM and EDS. The results show that the cracking of bismuth-brass valve body part is attributed to the serious partial segregation of Bi element in the process of low pressure casting. During low pressure casting, through controlling the convective velocity of metal liquid during solidification and increasing the cooling velocity, the regional segregation of bismuth-brass valve body part can be recluced or prevented.
摘要:Due to the relatively high sealing requirements of some aluminum alloy die-casting parts of automobile engines, complex internal structures with uneven wall thickness often cause air leakage of such parts, resulting in poor quality parts. The improvement of the quality of the filter in an automobile engine was carried out as an example, aiming to reduce the shrinkage and porosity in the defect area of the casting. The virtual test design was carried out for the modification of the gating system and cooling system. Using computer calculations, the simulated results of the original design and the modified design were compared to obtain a solution to the defect. After on-site trials of die-casting trials and leakage detection, the modified scheme has obvious effects on improving shrinkage and porosity defects, and the internal quality of parts was significantly improved, and the stability of part quality was guaranteed.

摘要:In order to obtain the solidification crystal structure in the approximate axis direction, a new continuous casting process was developed for the Cu-20 Ag alloy with high Ag alloy content, and the crystallizer with thermal insulation pad was designed. The temperature field on the casting billet under the new crystallizer was performed by finite element simulation and experimental verification. The results reveal that the new crystallizer can realize the concave solid-liquid interface of Cu-20 Ag alloy, and the temperature field distribution of the cast billet after solidification presents the radial temperature gradient, which is gradually decreased along the length of the rod until the radial temperature gradient is close to zero. At this time, columnar crystal almost along axial is easy to form, and the simulation results are consistent with the experiment ones.

摘要:Three-dimensional jet printing technology(3 DP) is suitable for low-cost and rapid manufacturing of complex sand molds. However, due to its special forming principle of bonding loose powder layer by layer, the sand mold has high porosity and low strength, which affects the qualification rate of castings. Aming to this problem, the effects of phenolic resin content and heat treatment temperature on the tensile strength of the sand mold were investigated. Adhesive which is composed of absolute ethanol, polyethylene glycol-400 and deionized water(mass ratio is 86∶9∶5) was used to spray-print the coated sand with different phenolic resin content and at different heating temperatures. The results reveal that with the increase of phenolic resin content and heat treatment temperature, the tensile strength of the sand mold is gradually increased. At a resin content of 3.5% and treatment of 175 ℃×2 h, the strength of the sand mold reaches the maximum volue, which are 4.238 MPa.

摘要:Fe-based amorphous coatings were prepared on the surface of magnesium alloy by HVOF spraying, and the preparation parameters were optimized. By adding Ni-based interlayer, Fe-based amorphous coating can effectively bond with magnesium alloy substrate, and the minimum porosity reaches 1.65%, and the highest amorphous content is 96.2%, and the highest hardness is 951 HV0.2.With the oxygen flow rate of 52 m3/h and the kerosene flow rate of 23 L/h, the bonding strength can reach 54.79 MPa. As the transition layer of mechanics and thermodynamics, the Ni-based intermediate layer can realize the mechanical interlock with magnesium alloy substrate through atomic diffusion, and it can interact with Fe-based amorphous coatings. The bonding strength can be improved by increasing the energy of particles, reducing the porosity and the oxidation degree.

摘要:Mg-3 Al-1 Zn-xSn alloy(x=3,6,9,%, in mass fraction) was prepared by melt-casting method, and damping behavior was analyzed by using dynamic thermal analyzer(DMA), and its high-temperature damping mechanism was described. The results reveal that the high temperature damping mechanism of the alloy is divided into two main stages: the elastic damping stage and the microplastic damping stage. The damping in the elastic damping stage is attributed to the combined action of the grain boundary damping mechanism and the dislocation damping mechanism. The activation energy of the grain boundary can be described by the Arrhenius formula. The damping mechanism in the microplastic deformation stage is mainly the frequency-dependent microplastic damping mechanism.
摘要:The effects of ultrasonic power on solidification microstructure and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-Mg-Si alloy were investigated.The results indicate that the primary Mg2Si can be refined and the mechanical properties of alloy can be enhanced under the ultrasonic treatment with 600 W and 1 000 W. When the ultrasonic power reaches 1 400 W, some high solid solution coarse microstructure appears near the primary Mg2Si phase in spite that the size of primary Mg2Si becomes finer, which is attributed to the local overheat caused by high power ultrasonic treatment, resulting in the degradation of mechanical properties.

摘要:Effects of untreated, ultrasonic, Zr modification, compound treatment of Zr and ultrasonic were investigated on solidified structure and compressive properties of Mg-5 Y-2.5 Zn-1.2 Ca alloy enhanced by long period structure. Effects of ultrasonic power and processing time on the alloy with compound treatment were also analyzed. The results show that ultrasonic treatment, Zr treatment and compound treatment can all improve solidified structure and mechanical properties of the alloy, among which the compound treatment has the satisfied effect. Compared with those of the untreated alloy, the compressive strength and the compressive rate of the alloy with compound treatment are increased by 15.3%and 15.7%, respectively. With the increase of ultrasonic power in the range of 0~900 W, primary phase in the alloy is refined at first and then coarsened, and the turning point is 700 W. In the range of 0~90 s, with the increase of ultrasonic processing time, primary phase in the alloy is refined at first and then coarsened, and the turning point is 60 s. With decreasing in the grain size, the distribution of the second phase is presented more uniform, and the compressive strength is increased.
摘要:The Ti-48 Al-2 Nb-2 Cr alloy was deposited and repaired by electron beam. The surface formation and microstructure evolution of Ti-Al intermetallic compound electron beam repair layer were investigated. The results show that Ti-48 Al-2 Nb-2 Cr electron beam repair is easy to generate defects such as pores and cracks. The α2 phase is gradually increased and the γ phase is gradually decreased from the base material to the center of the repair layer. The grains in the central area of the repair layer are untransformed needle-shaped α2/γ phases, and the grain boundaries are massive γm phases. The heat-affected zone of near-repair layer presents a dual-state structure which are composed of fine equiaxed γ grains and α2/γ lamellar clusters. The heat-affected zone in near-base-material is mainly composed of large-sized equiaxed γ grains and a few fine strips along the crystal like α2 phase composition. Due to the diversity of grain size and structure, the microhardness of the alloy at each area is different, presenting a trend of gradually decreasing from the weld to the base material. The center hardness of the repair layer can reach up to 590 HV0.2, and the average hardness is about 520 HV0.2, and there is no significant difference in hardness at different depths at the same area.
摘要:The effects of thermal exposure on microstructure and properties of the Nb-22.5 Cr-0.12 MgO alloys prepared by mechanical alloying and hot pressing were investigated by thermally exposed at 1 200 ℃ for 30 h and 50 h, respectively. The results reveal that the Nb-22.5 Cr-0.12 MgO alloy is composed of Nb solid solution and fine Laves phase NbCr2 with uniform distribution. During the thermal exposure process,the alloy can remain steady phase constituent and excellent room-temperature fracture toughness.After thermal exposure at 1 200 ℃ for 50 h, the compressive strength is decreased to 2 655 MPa, which is reduced by 18.5% compared to unexposed ones, thus the alloy possesses poor thermal stability.

摘要:The as-cast single crystal copper bar billet with ?16 mm was prepared by self-made heated mold horizontal continuous casting equipment, and the as-drawn bar billet with ?12 mm was produced by single-pass cold drawing. The effects of cold drawing on grain orientation and fracture mechanism of single crystal copper were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, combined with tensile tests at room temperature.The results reveal that the cross-section grain orientation of single crystal copper is changed obviously after drawing, exhibiting the increased texture component. The longitudinal-section texture component is remained. However, the volume fraction is varied. The cold drawing has significant influence on the fracture mechanism, which presents as a micropore-dimple aggregation fracture for as-cast specimens, while presents as a micropore growth fracture for as-drawn specimens.
