摘要:The energetics,geometrical and electronic structures of L12-Co3X(X =Ti,Ta,Al,W,V)intermetallic compound and its point defective constructions were calculated by first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave method.Based on the calculation and comparison about the heat of formation and the energy of formation for VX、VCo、CoX、XCopoint defective structures,the type and the geometrical configuration of point defects in L12-Co3X(X=Ti,Ta,Al,W,V)intermetallic compound were analyzed.The results reveal that the major point defects in L12-Co3X(X=Ti,Ta,Al,W,V)intermetallic compound are anti-site defect both in the Co sublattice or in the X sublattice.In rich-Co alloy it is mainly Co anti-site defect,whereas in rich-Xalloy it is mostly Xanti-site defect,consistent with L12-Ni3 Al alloy.Based on the analysis of the total electronic density of states(DOS)for the L12-Co3X(X=Ti,Ta,Al,W,V)crystal model including VX、VCo、CoX、XCopoint defective structures,the calculated results were verified objectively.

摘要:Friction stir welding of low Cu and high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy plate was carried out at 300 r/min and 900 r/min.The microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints were analyzed by means of metallographic microscope,scanning electron microscope,transmission electron microscope,Vickers hardness and tensile test.The results show that there is absence of obvious change of micrometer AlMnCr phase during the welding process,and the dissolution and coarsening occur in intracrystalline nanoscale MgZn2 phase and grain boundary submicron MgZn2 phase.With the increase of welding speed,the degree of precipitate dissolution is increased,and the grain size of welded joint tends to be increased.Under the combined action of grains and precipitates,the hardness of the welded joints of the alloy is characterized by approximate U-shaped distribution.The hardness of the heat affected zone on the advancing side is slightly lower than that on the retreating side,and that of the welding nugget and heat affected zone is relatively low,which is the fracture position of the welded joints,presenting zigzag fracture shape affected by the "S" line defect.The welded joints of low Cu and high strength AlZn-Mg-Cu alloy have the better properties under the low rotational speed of 300 r/min.The maximum tensile strength,yield strength,elongation and welding coefficient reach 393 MPa,261 MPa,12% and 80%,respectively.
摘要:The semi-continuous casting ZL205 Aaluminum alloy ingot was treated by different ultrasonic treatment at 720℃.Three groups of experiments were designed by adjusting ultrasonic action time(2、4、6、8、10 min)and ultrasonic power(0、100、120、140、160、180、200 W)to analyze effect mechanism of different ultrasonic field parameters on the solidification microstructure of ingots and to determine the optimal ultrasonic process parameters.The results show that the ultrasonic effect on the semi-continuous casting ZL205 Aaluminum alloy melt can promote the homogeneity of the eutectic structure distribution,significantly refining the grains and improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of the ingot.Ultrasonic energy can refine effectively intermetallic compounds,improving the formation and uniform distribution of intermetallic compounds,thereby increasing the nucleation rate,which is responsible for significantly improving the quality of the ingot.With a given ultrasonic power,the optimal ultrasonic action time is 10 min,and with a fixed ultrasonic action time,the optimal ultrasonic power is 160 W.The optimal ultrasonic process parameters can be obtained by three groups of experiments:ultrasonic action time of 10 min and ultrasonic power of 160 W.

摘要:The research progress in Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles in the scandium-containing aluminum alloy under the multi-component system was reviewed.Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles is the key to improve the performance of the scandium-containing aluminum alloy.Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles can be acted as the grain heterogeneous nuclei when the alloy liquid is solidified,so that the influence of the dendrites is weakened or eliminated,and as-cast crystal grains are also refined.Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles can be also precipitated dispersively during deformation and heat treatment of aluminum alloy,thus inhibiting the nucleation and growth of recrystallized grains.It can also increase the recrystallizing temperature of the alloy,pining dislocation and subgrain boundary,hindering and preventing dislocation movement and subgrain boundary migration and merging,which improve the strength of the alloy.In multicomponent alloy system,the nucleation and growth of Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles are much more complex than that of Al3Sc particles,so it is difficult to predict theoretically according to LSW model in most cases.The research methods of nucleation and growth of Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles were also summarized,of which the calculation method is an effective method to understand the nucleation and growth of Al3Sc/Al3(Scx,M1-x)particles.

摘要:There are still metallurgical defects in the Ti-Al based alloy ingots caused by the inadequate control in the practical EBCHM production,which is harmful for the quality of subsequent titanium products.To ensure that EBCHM titanium alloy ingot meets the composition design standard,numerical models can be established based on cooling bed and crystallizer to calculate the evaporating loss of each element during the casting process.Therefore,the complement system of each element was designed,and the concentration gradient caused by evaporation was balanced,which restrained the macro-segregation of ingots.The research status of macro-segregation control mechanism at home and abroad was reviewed,which provided the guidance for the key issues of titanium industry chain upstream production.

摘要:Considering the material nonlinearity features,the temperature field,stress field and displacement field of plasma cladding Q235 steel were simulated by thermo-mechanical coupling based on ABAQUS finite element method of life and death and Goldak heat source model.The real residual stress was measured by blind hole method.The results reveal that the Goldak model can simulate the plasma heat source well and the simulated results are stable,which is consistent with the actual cladding testing.In Xand Zpaths,the calculated value of residual stress is consistent with the variation trend of measured one.The maximum difference between the measured value and simulated one of longitudinal residual stress along X path is 43 MPa,and the average value is 6.2 MPa.There exists some deviation along the Z path,however,the overall trend tends to be consistent.The average simulated value of longitudinal residual stress is-189.54 MPa,while the average measured value is-211.5 MPa.After completion of cladding,the maximum deformation is 0.05 mm,which appears in the center of cladding layer,and the deformation of Q235 steel matrix is less than 0.01 mm.
摘要:A three dimensional cellular automaton-finite element model was established to predict the solidification grain structures of large size blade of heavy gas turbine.The results reveal that the deviation angle and divergence angle of columnar grains are small and columnar crystal is fine when assembled with root down,meanwhile,grain size of blade root is fine,while grain size of blade top is coarse.However,the deviation angle and divergence angle of coarse columnar grain are large when assembled with tip down,meanwhile grain size of blade root is coarse,while grain size of blade top is fine.In addition,the effects of withdrawal rate on solidification structure are independent on the assembled modes.With the withdrawal rate increasing,the columnar grain size and angle of deviation and divergence are decreased.The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
