摘要:A 3-D model of mechanical agitator was established and the flow fields were investigated under different anchor agitators, melting temperatures, agitator rotational speeds and the position of the agitator by using Fluent in ANSYS software combining with MRF model. The results present that through changing the anchor agitator shapes, little effect on flow field in the mixing process can be observed. With the increase of the melting temperature, the range of the melting flow is enlarged and the optimized temperature to setting the anchor agitator is more than 1 100 ℃. The maximum flow velocity of melting with 100 r/min agitator rotational speed is 1.47 m/s, which is twice as that of 50 r/min. When the distance between the agitator and the bottom of crucible is a quarter of the height, the range of the melting stirred is large, however, when the distance of that is one-eighth of the height, the melting under the agitator is stirred adequately. Mechanical stirring can improve effectively the melt flow rate and flow range.

摘要:The solid state recycled process of TC4 titanium alloy chips was performed by hot pressing sintering method, and the microstructure and hardness tests of the recycled TC4 titanium alloy was analyzed to understand effects of hot pressing sintering temperature. The results reveal that under the given condition of hot pressing sintering process, the chips of TC4 alloy present a satisfied bonding with absence of any new phase, and the phase composition of recycled billet is consistent with the parent metal, which is still a typical α+β type structure. With the increase of sintering temperature, the growth of β-Ti grains in the microstructure of the recycled TC4 alloy can be observed with the blurring of grain boundary and the precipitation of some acicular α-Ti in form of clusters. The proportion of beta Ti phase in the microstructure will be increased, while the acicular α-Ti structure will be decreased significantly. When the sintering temperature is 1 200 ℃, the microstructure of the alloy is changed from basket weave structure into Widmanstatten structure. The micro-hardness of recycled TC4 alloy is increased with the increase of the sintering temperature.
摘要:The micro-arc oxidization(MAO) ceramic layer on LA103 Z Mg-Li alloy was prepared in silicate alkaline electrolyte. The effects of oxidation voltage on microstructure and corrosion behavior of MAO coatings in 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated. The microstructure and phase composition of the coatings were characterized by SEM and XRD. In addition, the corrosion resistance of the ceramic layers was evaluated by hydrogen evolution method and weight loss analysis. The results indicate that the micro-porous morphology of MAO coating is formed gradually after growing for 40 s. Meanwhile, the thickness and micro-pore diameter of the coatings are increased with the enhancement of oxidation voltage, where the "crater" morphologies and the micro-cracks appear on the surface of the ceramic layer. The MAO coating is mainly composed of MgO and Mg2SiO4 phases. The hydrogen evolution rate of MAO coatings prepared with different oxidation voltages after 192 h immersion is presented as follows: v450 V<v500 V<v550 V<vsubstrate. Furthermore, the MAO coating with an oxidation voltage of 500 V has a minimum weight loss rate after immersion for 96 h. It is demonstrated that MAO coating can provide a positive corrosion protection for the substrate and the MAO coating prepared with 500 V has the desirable anticorrosion capacity.
摘要:The effects of trace yttrium on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Al-Sn-Zn alloys were investigated by copper mold casting under the vacuum-Ar atmosphere protection. The addition of yttrium can generate the new phase of Al2Y and refine the α-Mg and eutectic Mg17Al12phase. With the increase of yttrium, the size and fraction of the new phase are increased.

摘要:The mechanical properties of ductile cast iron with different Cu addition were tested by tensile tester and Brinell hardness tester. The dry friction and wear experiments were carried out with the reciprocating friction and wear tester. The microstructure of the sample was characterized by metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope. The effect of copper on the wear resistance of ductile cast iron was discussed. The results show that the copper can improve effectively the wear resistance of ductile cast iron. The main wear mechanism is characterized by plastic deformation, and with the increase of pearlite content, the abrasive wear becomes serious. With the increase of friction time, the fatigue wear is increased. In addition, the increase of load can reduce the friction coefficient of materials.

摘要:The microstructure and mechanical properties of 3 D-printed AlSi10 Mg alloy in annealing state were analyzed, and AlSi10 Mg alloy was treated in different heat treatment. The results reveal that the mechanical properties of laser forming AlSi10 Mg alloy are superior to those of ZL104 and LD2 alloy, and the microstructure of scanning direction presents strip-shaped piled-up structure, while microstructure of the forming direction shows irregular fish scale structure.

Taking into account mechanical properties and metallographic structure, the optimized solution temperature for AlSi10 Mg alloy is 525 ℃.
