摘要:A composition design of Mg rare earth alloys based on the total solute control was carried out. By screening the elements to inhibit the eutectic phase content in magnesium alloys, the effects of alloy composition on the non-equilibrium solidification structure, solidification interval, fluidity and crack resistance of the cast magnesium alloy were investigated, and the heat treatment process was optimized. The results reveal that the large and complex structural parts prepared with Mg-5.8 Gd-3.0 Y-0.4 Zr under the slow cooling conditions of sand mold present excellent mechanical properties, where mechanical properties reach more than 300 MPa in tensile strength, more than 220 MPa in yield strength, and more than 3% in elongation, meeting the requirements for comprehensive strength and toughness of large and complex structures with heavy loads and overloads.
摘要:Effects of ageing temperature on the microstructure and properties of in situ hybrid Ti-6 Al-4 V composites with TiB and TiC reinforcements were investigated. The results show that, with the increase of 673~873 K aging temperature, the martensite formed during solid solution treatment is decomposed gradually and transform to β phase with dispersive distribution and α phase. When the aging temperature is higher than 823 K, the β phase is coarsened. The mechanical properties of the composites aged at 773 K present the acceptable data, where the compressive strength, yield strength and engineering strain reach 1 970 MPa, 1 632 MPa and 15.2%, respectively. The Vickers hardness of the composites is decreased with the increase of aging temperature. With the increase of wear loads, the friction coefficient of the composites is decreased and the wear loss is increased gradually. The wear mechanism under low load is characterized by abrasive wear, while the wear mechanism is characterized by co-action of abrasive wear and oxidation wear with the load of 50 N.

It is found that the composition and grain size are uniform at different positions of the casting after heat treatment. The Mo content is in range of 2.00% to 2.08%, and the grain size is in range of 53 μm to 73 μm. The impurity content in flywheel is low, and the size of the carbide inclusions is small with dispersed distribution.

摘要:In order to evaluate the microstructure and performance of large-scale complex titanium alloy castings and other aircraft critical structural components, the structural uniformity of a titanium alloy mainframe casting was analyzed. By analyzing the distribution of the various regions of the casting and the presence of anomalous grains, the key factors affecting the casting microstructure were described, and the microstructure homogeneity of a titanium alloy mainframe casting was evaluated. The results show that the grain size in the castings is in range of 44 μm to 7 660 μm, and the sizes of 82% of the grains are within 1 650 μm. As the thickness of the casting increases, the average grain size and the FWHM of the surface layer and the center layer of the casting show a nearly logarithmic increased trend. The factors such as wall thickness, structural characteristics and pouring sequence of the castings all have an important influence on solidification, of which the wall thickness has the most significant effect.
摘要:In order to reduce the degradation rate of magnesium alloy stents, magnesium fluoride coating was prepared on the surface of magnesium alloy by chemical conversion. The effects of hydrofluoric acid concentration and treatment time on the composition, brittleness and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated. The results indicate that the thickness of magnesium fluoride coating is increased with the treatment time, while the brittleness is also increased. In addition, the brittleness of the coating in a higher hydrofluoric acid concentration are lower, so the corrosion resistance presents better. The coating presents the satisfied comprehensive performance with hydrofluoric acid concentration of 40% at treatment of 6 h.

摘要:According to the characteristics of large shell diameter, wide range of inner barrel water jacket and uneven wall thickness for housing of electric bus motor, the influence of the complex structure of the water-cooled housing and the barrel-shaped sand core was analyzed on the sequential solidification of aluminum alloy low-pressure casting. Low pressure casting pouring system, mold structure and process parameters were designed. By using the AnyCasting software, the casting solidification process was simulated to predict the isolated liquid phase formed by the hot spot and the sand core separation caused by uneven wall thickness, which lead to defects such as shrinkage and cold shut in some locations. The solidification speed was optimized by adopting beryllium copper inserts, water-cooled inserts and air-cooled pipes to improve the soundness and production quality of the internal structure of the die casting housing.

摘要:With different additives mixed into investment gypsum casting powder, the effects of different additives on the fluidity, solidified time and baked strength of investment gypsum casting powder were investigated. The results show that the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent has severely retarded the gypsum casting powder slurry, although enhancing the fluidity of the gypsum casting powder slurry, and the 0.1% content is more suitable for gypsum casting powder. When less silica sol is added to the water and the ratio of water to silica sol is less than 1∶1, the silica sol can promote the fluidity of the gypsum casting powder slurry, appropriately increasing the solidified time, and increasing the strength of the gypsum casting mold. When the ratio of water to silica sol is 4∶1, the fluidity of the gypsum casting powder slurry is satisfied. When the water: silica sol is 1∶1, the strength of the gypsum mold is desirable.

摘要:Preparation of foamed magnesium alloy with dolomite as foaming agent and thickener was carried out. The effects of dolomite amount, particle size and adding temperature on structure of foamed magnesium alloy were investigated. The results reveal that dolomite can be used as foaming agent and thickener to prepare foamed magnesium alloy with uniform pore structure and high porosity. However, it has the defects of gas cavity and pore-free layer at the bottom. The minimum density of magnesium foam is 0.38 g/cm3, and the maximum porosity is 78.7%. Dolomite is decomposed in large quantities when heated above 650 ℃, which can be used as foaming agent of magnesium foam. As thickener and foaming agent, dolomite cann’t be decomposed completely, and its residues and decomposition products are basically distributed evenly in the matrix and locally agglomerated at the edge of the hole. The density of foamed magnesium alloy is decreased with the increase of dolomite content in the range of 1%~2.5%. The density of foamed magnesium alloy is decreased at first and then increased with the increase of the size of foaming agent in range of 74~250 μm, and the turning point is 150 μm. In range of 620~710 ℃, as the temperature of dolomite increases, the density of the foamed magnesium alloy is decreased firstly and then increased. The turning point is 680 ℃. The change of porosity of foam magnesium alloy is the opposite to that of density.
摘要:Al0.8CrFe2Nix high-entropy alloys(x denotes the atomic content of Ni element when the atomic content of Al, Cr and Fe is 0.8, 1 and 2, respectively) were prepared by vacuum arc melting. The effects of Ni content on microstructures and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated by using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction(XRD), micro-hardness testing and compression testing. The results show that the alloy with dendritic+cellular crystal morphology has a B2+BCC crystal structure when x=0.50. When x=1.25, the crystal structure is transformed to single BCC with a single dendritic morphology. When x=2.00, the crystal structure is changed into a mixed structure of FCC+BCC with a dense lamellar eutectic-like morphology. With the further increase of Ni content, the alloy maintains FCC+BCC structure when x=2.75. However, the proportion of FCC phase is dramatically increased and complete dendritic morphology appears. The hardness of Al0.8CrFe2Nix high entropy alloys is decreased with the increase of x. Meanwhile, the yield strength is decreased and the strain is increased.
摘要:Nano-sized α-Al2O3/Al composite was prepared in situ by exothermic dispersion method using the mixed powder of Al-nano-SiO2. The microstructure and reaction mechanism of the composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) methods, and energy spectrometer(EDS). The results reveal that Al-nano-SiO2 can react completely to form nano-sized Al2O3 and Si at 900 ℃ for 30 min, in which the volume fraction of the reinforcement can reach 7% with evenly distributed on the aluminum matrix. The corresponding activation energy is increased with the reaction process, indicating that the reaction of Al-nano-SiO2 system can be completed only when sufficient energy is provided in the final reaction stage.

摘要:The Cf/Al laminated composites were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing with 1060 Al foil, HL403 aluminum alloy powder and M40 unidirectional carbon fiber cloth as raw materials, and the fiber volume fraction is 22.80%. The effects of hot-pressing temperature, time and pressure on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by orthogonal experiment. The results reveal that the hot-pressing time has the most significant effect on the tensile strength, and the hot-pressing temperature has the most significant effect on the density. The addition of HL403 aluminum alloy powder between 1060 Al foil and M40 unidirectional carbon fiber cloth can reduce the hot-pressing temperature and inhibit the interface reaction. Meanwhile, the Al2Cu phase formed can inhibit the formation of the brittle phase Al4C3,which improves the mechanical properties of the composites. With the hot-pressing temperature of 510 ℃, the hot-pressing time of 180 min and the hot-pressing pressure of 15 MPa, the matrix and fiber of Cf/Al laminated composites are well bonded, and the aluminum matrix layer and fiber reinforced layer are arranged alternately, and the fiber presents uniform distribution. A large number of fibers are pulled out when the Cf/Al laminated composites are fractured, and the tensile fracture shows the ductile fracture of the aluminum matrix layer and the brittle fracture of the fiber reinforced layer. The composites show the satisfied performance in density of 2.492 g/cm3, relative density of 99.80%, tensile strength of 254.75 MPa and flexural strength of 334.97 MPa.

摘要:The effects of different hot compression conditions and multiple heat treatments on the microstructure evolution of TC4-DT titanium alloy were analyzed. The results reveal that the primary α phase in the microstructure is gradually decreased, and the acicular martensite precipitated by water quenching is gradually increased with increasing in temperature of hot compression deformation. The interweaving of the basketweave microstructure in the alloy is more uniform and compact after triple heat treatment at relatively low deformation temperatures of 920 ℃ and 950 ℃. The precipitated acicular α phase is more finely as the strain rate increases at the same time. The duplex microstructure is formed at 920 ℃, and the basketweave microstructure is formed at both 940 ℃ and 960 ℃, while acicular α-phase interlaced the basketweave microstructure is better in the latter. When the double temperature is less than 900 ℃, the acicular α-phase precipitated is relatively slender and grows with increasing in temperature. However, the basketweave microstructure is not uniform through observing the overall morphology. It is found that at 920 ℃, the basketweave microstructure formed in the microstructure is more compact, and the more finer acicular α phases are intertwined therein in the microstructure.
摘要:The effects of 0.05% FeBSi amorphous alloy with different inoculation time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and heat treated ZL107 were investigated. The results show that the tensile strength and elongation of the ZL107 alloy are increased significantly with the addition of 0.05% FeBSi amorphous alloy. The tensile strength and elongation of ZL107 with inoculation time of 30 min reach 453.41 MPa and 14.2% respectively, which is 24.7% and 65.7% higher than the ZL107 without FeBSi amorphous alloy, respectively. The α-Al and eutectic Si in ZL107 alloy are refined obviously after the addition of 0.05% FeBSi amorphous alloy, which is attributed to grain refinement strengthening and secondary phase strengthening.
摘要:Effects of solidification structure and Mg content on fast heat treatment of A356 were investiagted. The results reveal that eutectic Si morphology in solidification structure of A356 alloy is converted from fibre to spherical structure after modified by Sr, and the grain size of primary α phase is decreased. After 540 ℃×20 min+170 ℃×90 min fast heat treatment, the Mg2Si strengthening phase in microstructure is fully dissolved into matrix, and tensile strength is basically the same as that of the T6 heat treated alloy. With the increase of Mg content, the solid time required for Mg2Si phase to fully dissolve into matrix is increased during solution treatment. When the Mg content of the alloy is increased from 0.3% to 0.9%, 540 ℃×40 min+170 ℃×90 min fast heat treatment is required, and the mechanical properties of alloy can be the same as that of the T6 heat treated ones
摘要:The as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of AlSi10 MgMn alloy with different rare earth(La, Ce) contents were investigated by means of optical microscope, SEM, Vickers hardness and tensile test at room temperature. The results show that rare earth(La, Ce) can refine α-Al, eutectic silicon, AlMnSi and Mg2Si phases in the alloy, and eliminate β-AlFeSi phase. When the content of added rare earth(La, Ce) is 0.1%,the hardness, tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy reach 82.76 HV、373.05 MPa and 281.37 MPa, respectively,which are 12.95%、17.29% and 43.44% higher than those of ones without rare earth, while the elongation is reduced to 2.26%, decreased by 11.37%. Furthermore, the addition of rare earth(La, Ce) has little effect on the fracture mode of the alloy.
摘要:The effects of single Sr or B content and Sr-B compound addition were analyzed on microstructure and thermal and electric conductivity of ADC12 alloy for LED radiator. The results reveal that with the addition of 0.04% B, the α-Al grains in ADC12 can be refined, thus improving the hardness of the alloy, however, its electrical and thermal conductivity can be weaken to some extent. With adding 0.04% Sr, the size of eutectic silicon and the secondary dendrite arm spacing in the ADC12 alloy are decreased to a certain extent, and its performances are enhanced compared with those of the original alloy. With compound addition of 0.04% Sr and 0.04% B, the modification effect of eutectic silicon in the ADC12 alloy can be improved and the secondary dendrite arm spacing reaches the smallest values. The eutectic silicon is converted from fine fiber shape to short rod shape and granular shape, which reduces the electron transport resistance and thus enhances the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the alloy.
摘要:The effects of heat treatment(solution and aging) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6063 aluminum alloy were investigated, and the roles of heat treatment process parameters were analyzed. The results show that with the increase of solution time from 15 min to 120 min, the grain size in the 6063 aluminum alloy is coarsened continuously, and the primary phase of Mg2Si in grain boundary and crystal disappears gradually and is dissolved into the matrix, while the effect of solution holding time on α-Al8Fe2Si and β-Al5FeSi phases can be ignored. Meanwhile, the strength and hardness of the alloy are increased firstly and then decreased, while the elongation is decreased firstly and then increased. When the aging temperature is increased from 160 ℃ to 180 ℃, the second phase in 6063 aluminum alloy is increased gradually, while the second phase in 6063 aluminum alloy is coarsened at 200 ℃, so the strength and hardness of 6063 aluminum alloy are increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of aging temperature, and the elongation is decreased firstly and then increased. When the aging holding time is 3 h or less, the amount of secondary phase is declined in 6063 aluminum alloy, while with the aging holding time of 5 hours or more, the number of dispersed second phase will be gradually increased, and obvious coarsening and growth of the second phase will occur when the aging holding time is 12 h or more. The suitable heat treatment process of 6063 aluminum alloy is 535 ℃×60 min+180 ℃×7 h, where the 6063 aluminum alloy has the maximum strength, hardness and higher elongation.
摘要:Effects of ultrasonic treatment(UST) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg-3 Y-3.5 Sm-2 Zn alloy were investigated. The results show that when the UST temperature is at 720~680 ℃ and the UST time is at 60~150 s,the microstructure of the alloy is refined firstly and then coarsened with the decrease of the treating temperature or the increase of treating time, and the turning points are 700 ℃ and 90 s, respectively. The highest value of mechanical properties of the alloy can be obtained after UST at 700 ℃ for 90 s. The microstructure refinement of the alloy after UST is attributed to supercooling nucleation caused by the cavitation effect and the effective inclusions nucleation substrates produced by the high-pressure pulse caused by the collapse of cavitation bubbles, alone or in combination.
摘要:Effects of yttrium on the microstructure and high temperature oxidation behavior of arc melted Ti-45 Al-6 Nb alloys were investigated. The results show that the obtained Ti-45 Al-6 Nb alloys with different yttrium are mainly composed of γ+α2 lamellar, B2 precipitate and a small amount of Y2O3. Addition of trace yttrium in the alloy can be ingored for influence on the phase composition of the alloys, however, it can significantly refine α2+γ lamellar structure. High temperature oxidation results show that addition of trace yttrium in Ti-45 Al-6 Nb alloys can significantly improve the oxidation resistance, especially for the alloy with yttrium concentration of 0.3%. The Ti-45 Al-6 Nb-0.3 Y alloy has an oxidation rate constant of 3.26×10-2 mg2/(cm4·h) at 1 000 ℃ in air, which is account for 41.3% and 26.1% of the alloys with yttrium concentrations of 0.1% and 0.9%, respectively, and about 1 order of magnitude lower than that of the alloy without yttrium addition.
