摘要:Linear shaped charge separation behavior of VW63 Zmagnesium alloy was investigated for the demand of aircrafts.Through the linear shaped charge cutting experiments of VW63 Z magnesium alloy specimens with different mechanical properties,the influence of tensile strength and elongation on linear shaped charge cutting as well as cutting mechanism were investigated.The results reveal that the linear shaped charge cutting is affected by the penetration depth,which is not seriously influenced by tensile strength when elongation is less than 6%.However,it is significantly affected by elongation after fracture and the penetration depth is gradually reduced with the increase of elongation,which is adverse to linear shaped charge cutting and separation.The cutting separation with cutting thickness of 7.2 mm could be stably achieved under the condition of elongation less than 6.5% and tensile strength less than 352 MPa.

摘要:The Zr-Cu-Fe-Al amorphous alloy was prepared by copper mold casting.The effects of the Al content and atomic ratio of Cu to Fe on the glass forming ability(GFA),thermal stability and microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffractometer,differential thermal analyzer and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.The results reveal that the GFA of both Zr59(Cu0.5Fe0.5)41-xAlxand Zr67-x(Cu0.5Fe0.5)33Alxalloy are firstly increased and then decreased with the increase of the Al content.For Zr59(Cu1-xFex)33Al8alloy,the glass forming ability is a better when the atomic of Cu to Fe is between 5∶5and 8∶2.Theγparameter and crystallization temperature indicate that Zr59(Cu0.7Fe0.3)33Al8alloy exhibits the excellent GFA and high thermal stability.Moreover,the HRTEM result of Zr59(Cu0.5Fe0.5)33Al8alloy indicates that due to the positive enthalpy between Cu and Fe,the alloy undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation during the rapid cooling,forming Cu-rich and Fe-rich liquid phases and then liquid-glass transition occurs,resulting in phase separation nanocrystals in which glassy Fe-rich nanoparticles with high number density are distributed on the glassy Cu-rich matrix.
摘要:The effects of microstructure on the wear properties of hypoeutectic Al-10Mg2Si alloy after melt superheating treatment were investigated by means of the grinding-disk friction and wear test.The results reveal that the primaryα-Al phase is converted from fishbone to equiaxed structure,and Mg2Si phase is uniformly distributed in fibrous and short rod shape after melt superheat treatment.The secondary dendrite interval of Mg2Si phase is decreased by 58%,and the hardness is increased by 13.5%,meanwhile the wear rate is decreased by 16.49%.The wear debris is changed from push milling flake type and curl type without melt superheating treatment to small powder shape.The wear debris are converted from pull-chip and crimp type without superheating treatment to small powder shape.The spalling area is decreased,and the spalling pit,furrow and extrusion groove become shallow.The wear mechanism is dominated from adhesive wear,oxidation wear and abrasive wear to coexisting of delamination wear,adhesive wear and partial oxidation wear,which indicate that the melt superheating process can improve the wear properties of the alloy.

摘要:High-entropy alloy(HEA),which breaks the design concept of traditional alloy,is a new type of alloy composed of multiple main elements.However,most high-entropy alloys usually have poor fluidity and castability as well as larger compositional unevenness,which is adverse to the large-scale industrial application.Eutectic high-entropy alloys(EHEAs)exhibit the characteristics of high-entropy alloys and eutectic alloys simultaneously,which can reduce casting defects and have unique advantages in high-temperature application.Therefore,it is of great significance to design and preparation of eutectic high-entropy alloys.The research progress of melting eutectic high-entropy alloys at home and abroad was reviewed.The phase composition and properties of the alloys as well as the growth characteristics and mechanism of the eutectic morphology were introduced.Subsequently,the phase formation law of eutectic high-entropy alloy and the design method of eutectic composition were summarized.Finally,the forward research direction of eutectic high-entropy alloy was prospected.

摘要:The effects of process parameters on the solidification structure of cast rolled brass strip were investigated by CAFE module of ProCAST finite element software.The microstructure,hardness and mechanical properties of brass strip prepared by twin roll casting based on the self-developed rolling machine were analyzed.The results reveal that the process parameters affect the size and reduction rate of columnar grains by affecting the height of the Kiss point.The higher the Kiss point and the greater the reduction rate is,the larger the columnar grain growth space and the grain size is.By adjusting the nucleation parameters,a larger reduction amount and fine solidification structure can be obtained,which can improve the quality of the strip.The elongation of cast rolled brass strip can reach 33%,the tensile strength is 430 MPa,and the hardness is 140 HV.The elongation,the tensile strength and the hardness of annealed brass strip are 55%,340 MPa and 75 HV,respectively.
摘要:The effects of Y addition(0.02,0.05,and 0.10%)on microstructure,mechanical properties,electrical properties of Al-0.16 Zr alloy were investigated.The results indicate that 0.05%and 0.10%Y addition can remarkably refine the grain size,and within range of the Y addition,the refinement becomes more effective with Y addition increase.During the aging treatment of as-cast alloys at 350℃,the Y addition leads to obvious age hardening,and the higher Y addition is,the shorter the peakaging time is.However,the electrical conductivity is reduced due to existence of lattice mismatch distortion field,which is attributed to the accelerated precipitation of coherent Al3 Zr particles.Moreover,in the aging treatment of rolled alloys,hardness is still enhanced with Y addition,in spite of annealing softening caused by reduction of dislocation density.In comprehensive consideration,the rolled Al-0.16 Zr-0.10 Yalloy obtains the optimal hardness and electrical conductivity combination after aged at 350℃for 30 h.

摘要:The effects of liquid die casting and semi-solid rheo-die casting on the fatigue behavior of ZL114 Aaluminum alloy parts were investigated.The results indicate that semi-solid rheo-die castings have better and more stable fatigue performance than traditional liquid die castings.The fatigue life of liquid die-casting parts is mainly affected by the size of holes.With increasing in the hole size,the fatigue life of the castings is decreased.The fatigue life of semi-solid die-casting parts is mainly affected by the density and proportional to the density.The semi-solid die-casting ZL114 Aaluminum alloy samples have a satisfied fatigue performance when the density is more than 2.62 g/cm3.At 70 MPa,the fatigue life can reach 107 cycles.Cracks of liquid die-casting parts are mainly initiated from gas holes while those of semi-solid die-casting parts tend to be initiated from multiple shrinkages porosity.
