Meanwhile, the average size of nanoparticles agglomeration is decreased from 197.08 nm to 173.92 nm. The yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and hardness of prepared Al-Cu-Mn composites are increased by 16.73%, 14.99%, 58.81% and 11.68%, respectively, indicating that the comprehensive mechanical properties of Al-Cu-Mn composites are improved. The tensile fracture of TiN nanoparticles reinforced Al-Cu-Mn is characterized by quasi-cleavage, where river patterns are increased obviously, and large amounts of dimples formed by the exfoliation of TiN nanoparticles are evenly distributed.
摘要:The effects of different solid solution temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 2195 Al-Li alloy were investigated by differential thermal analysis, electron microscopy analysis, and tensile tests. The results indicate that solution treatment can improve the mechanical properties of 2195 alloy. As the solid solution temperature increases, the residual Al2Cu phase is gradually dissolved into the matrix, leading to the maximum supersaturation solid solution, achieving solid solution strengthening. However, the deviation of solid solution temperature from the optimal system promotes the recovery of recrystallization and over-burn in the alloy, resulting in deterioration of the mechanical properties.
摘要:The hard composite preparation method based on hot pressing and sintering was adopted, and rare earth oxide CeO2 powder and the grain growth inhibitor VC powder were induced into the graphene-contained WC-Al2O3composite powders to prepare a new type of composites. The phase composition, microscopic morphology, densification process and mechanical properties were investigated. The results indicate that the addition of CeO2(0.1%) and VC(0.3%) results in the increase of the composite density from 95.536% to 98.059% and 97.256%, respectively. The brittle phase W2C in the sintered specimen is reduced with mechanical property improvement. CeO2(0.1%) has a great effect on the fracture toughness, which is increased by 26.25%. Grains in composites are fine, round and smooth without abnormal growth, VC(0.3%) has a significant effect on the hardness. The Vickers hardness is increased by 21.06% compared to the original one with the smallest grain size and incomplete fusion, where a small number of pores exist between some grains. Synchronous addition of CeO2(0.1%) and VC(0.3%) leads to the dissolution of large amounts of Ce and V into the crystals, which promotes the vacancy generation, accelarate the transfer of substance and the growth of crystal grains, and reduces refinement effect. Meanwhile, more gas generated by the reaction is harmful to material densification.
摘要:The phase transformation law of hydrochloric acid dissolved high pure aluminum ash were investigated by XRF, SEM, XRD and other analytical methods. The results indicate that the high-purity aluminum ash is composed of long strip, columnar, rodlike and spherical particles with phases composed of Al, Al2O3, Al2OC and BaO etc., and acid-leached residue phases are AlN, Al2O3 and Al(OH)3. In hydrochloric acid, the dissolution rate is increased with the increase of liquid-solid ratio and temperature, which reaches the maximum value at 65 ℃. The phase containing Al is transformed into [AlCl3(H2O)6] during acid leaching. The structure of formed polymeric aluminum is transformed from tetrahedron and octahedron to polymers, where a stable six-membered ring structure is formed by hydroxyl group, and the monomer is polymerized with hydroxyl group on the six-membered ring at a vertex H to form a plug-in multi-dimensional network structure.

摘要:The energetics and electronic structures of W doped γ-Co/γ′-Co3Al interface region model were calculated by the first principles method based on plane-wave pseudopotential theory. The results demonstrate that the substitution of W atom for Al atom sited in γ-Co/γ′-Co3Al interfaces can improve the rupture strength of the γ-Co/γ′-Co3Al interface. However, the substitution of W atom for Al or Co atom in other place has little effect on the rupture strength of the phase boundary region. The analysis of electron densities of states(DOS) and the distributions of valence electron densities of γ-Co/γ′-Co3Al interface indicate that the doping of W leads to the strong electron interaction between W and its nearest neighbor Co atoms, resulting in the enhancement of the interlayer atomic bonding interaction in the phase boundary region, which is the direct reason for the enhancement of the rupture strength of γ-Co/γ′-Co3Al phase boundary.
摘要:The friction and wear properties of forging and solution-aged Cu-Ni-Al-Be alloys were investigated by UMT-2 friction and wear tester. Wear morphology and the aged precipitation of Cu-Ni-Al-Be alloy were characterized by SEM and TEM. The primary phase of Cu-Ni-Al-Be alloy is coherent NiBe precipitation after solution at 1 000 ℃×1.5 h and aged at 450 ℃×3 h treatment. The friction coefficient and wear loss of aged alloy is less than that of the forged ones at low load and low speed. The wear mechanisms of both forged and solution-aged alloy are dominated by abrasive wear and adhesive wear at low load and low speed, which are oxidation wear and delamination wear at high load and high speed. Wear resistance of Cu-Ni-Al-Be alloy is desirable after solution-aged treatment.

摘要:Taking Al-0.5 Mg-0.24 Si alloy as object, the effects of rare earth element La on the microstructure, electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Al-0.5 Mg-0.24 Si alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the combination of La with Si can generate rare earth phase LaSi2, which promotes the transformation from the β-Al5FeSi phase to α-Al8Fe2Si phase. After hot rolling and heat treatment, the appropriate addition of La can enhance the electrical conductivity and tensile properties of Al-0.5 Mg-0.24 Si alloy. With the addition of 0.1% La, the electrical conductivity reaches the maximum value of 31.80 MS/m. With the addition of 0.3% La, the tensile strength and the elongation reach 175 MPa and 22%, respectively, whereas the addition of La can reduce the corrosion resistance of Al alloy.

When x=50, the comprehensive strength and toughness of alloy are desirable, where the tensile strength reaches 857.3 MPa, and the total elongation reaches 39.4%.
摘要:The micro-structure and mechanical characteristics of the multi-layer nickel-plated copper foil welding by blue light laser with 450 nm were investigated. Nickel-plated copper foil with 20 layers were welded onto nickel-plated copper sheet with 0.5 mm, and the effects of different welding speeds on the weld morphology and tensile strength were investigated. The morphology on the weld failure mode and the micro morphology of the fracture were analyzed, and the electrical conductivity of the weld were tested. The results indicate that during the blue laser welding process, the depth of penetration is easily controlled.With the increase of welding speed, the weld penetration depth is gradually decreased, and the tensile strength of the weld is increased at first and then decreased.When the welding speed is 30 mm/s, the tensile strength of the weld reaches the maximum of 75 MPa. Blue laser can be successfully applied to the welding of multi-layer nickel-plated copper foil and laser welding leads to good mechanical properties.
摘要:The remedial program for substandard heat-resistant performance of the heat-resistant conductive aluminum alloy was mainly carried out. Through the monofilament and aluminum rod heat treatment, the experimental results demonstrate that heat treatment of heat-resistant monofilament at 190 ℃ for 7 h can improve the heat resistance of the monofilament by 5%~7%, which is generally in the range of 95%~97%. However, the subsequent strand is prone to bruise due to the lack of oil film on the surface of the monofilament. Heat treatment of heat-resistant aluminum rod at 290 ℃ for 7 h can improve the heat-resistance of monofilament by 1.5%~3% after drawing, which is generally in the range of 90%~93% with absence of surface quality defects.
摘要:Effects of the electromagnetic stirring(EMS) on the solidification microstructure and properties of the Cu-10 Fe alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the EMS can effectively refine the grain in Cu-10 Fe alloy and reduce the supercooling degree of melted alloy, resulting in the formation of dendritic Fe phase instead of spherical Fe phase before the alloy enters the immiscible temperature region of the metastable liquid components. When the EMS current is 300 A, the Fe dendrites are broken and the Fe phases solidified firstly are separated to ingot surface by centrifugal force of violent rotating and stirring, resulting in the significant macrosegregation. Moreover, EMS has little influence on the conductivity of Cu-Fe ingot in the range of 21.46~22.04 MS/m. However, the fragmentation and refinement of electromagnetic stirring is contributed to the strengthening of the mechanical properties of Cu-10 Fe alloy during drawing. In conclusion, the electromagnetic stirring current of Cu-10 Fe alloy should not be too large, and 150 A is a reasonable parameter to improve the Cu-10 Fe ingot quality.
摘要:The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Mg-2 Zn-0.2 Sr-0.6 Zr-xNd(x=0, 1, 2, weight fraction) alloy were investigated by optical microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), universal material testing machine and electrochemical experiments. Microstructure experiments show that the addition of Nd can refine the grain size and the granular Mg-Zn-Nd second phase(T phase) which grows up with the increase of Nd content is uniformly distributed. Tensile tests at room temperature show that trace amount of Nd can improve the yield strength and tensile strength, however the elongation is decreased slightly with the increase of Nd content. The degradation behavior of Mg-2 Zn-0.2 Sr-0.6 Zr-xNd alloy was analyzed by using Hank’s solution. The results show that the corrosion rate of Mg-2 Zn-0.2 Sr-0.6 Zr-xNd(x=0,1,2) is 0.49 mm/a, 0.39 mm/a and 1.12 mm/a, respectively. With 1%Nd addition, corrosion resistance of the alloy can be improved. However, the corrosion resistance of the alloy with 2%Nd is decreased significantly. In general, Mg-2 Zn-0.2 Sr-0.6 Zr-1 Nd has the satisfied combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
摘要:The continuous casting process of 2219 aluminum alloy was simulated by Fluent software.The optimal ultrasonic application mode in continuous casting process was explored to achieve the uniform grain structure of casting ingots through the combination of simulation experiment of small ingot and the numerical simulation. The results indicate that different solidification speeds lead to uneven grain structure in the continuous casting ingots, and the ultrasonic application method has a great influence on the effect of grain refinement.When the solidification time is 4 min, the ultrasonic refining is more uniform in the first minute, reaching 24.5%. At the end of solidification, the ultrasonic refinement effect has a large gradient, which is decreased along the action direction.During the continuous casting process, ultrasound was applied in the middle of the width direction, and the prober should be located above the mushy zone.
摘要:Grain refinement of Mg-6 Al-1 Y alloy was achieved by the collaboration of copper mold injection casting and cryogenics treatment. The influences of cryogenics treatment on non-equilibrium solidified structure and subsequent precipitation behavior were investigated. The results reveal that with the increase of undercooling and corresponding nucleation rate, the formation of fine equiaxed dendrite grains with partial micron-size granular grains can be observed, accompanied by the formations of high supersaturated structure and considerable dislocation defect under the non-equilibrium solidification condition. Stress accumulation induced by cryogenic treatment is beneficial to the fragmentation of fine dendrites in rapidly cooled alloy and spheroidization of segments occurs subsequently. The average grain size is decreased to 10 μm and the amount of dislocation density is increased significantly after cryogenics for 32 h. As for the rapid cooled and cryogenic treated alloy, discontinuous precipitation at grain boundary is accelerated during the isothermal annealing at 200 ℃ for 16 h. Moreover, both the morphology and quantity of continuous precipitation within grain are improved effectively. The resultant hardness is increased to 71.3 HV, which is 11.9% higher than that of the original rapidly cooled alloy.
摘要:A mathematical model of heat transfer was established, and the changes of the temperature field during the solidification process of ingots with ?40 mm~?160 mm were analyzed. The results indicate that the larger-scale ingot has a larger temperature gradient and stronger segregation tends to occur. Although electromagnetic stirring can well control the solidification process of the alloy, electromagnetic stirring is not a good solution foringots with small cross-section of ?40 mm. For larger-scale ingot with ?160 mm, linear stirring is more effective than rotary stirring, of which the effect is desirable at the current of 100 A and the frequency of 8 Hz to 10 Hz.
摘要:The effects of solution temperature and cooling rate on the microstructure, ambient and elevated mechanical properties of TC11 titanium alloy were investigated. The results indicate that with the increase of solution temperature and cooling rate, the content of primary α phase in TC11 titanium alloy is decreased obviously, and the secondary α phase becomes finer with more dispersed distribution. At the same solution temperature, the room temperature strength and 500 ℃ high temperature strength of the alloy are increased, and the plasticity is decreased significantly with the increase of cooling rate. After 950 ℃ water cooling treatment and aging, the strength of the alloy reaches over 1 300 MPa.

摘要:In recent years, magnesium alloys have attracted much attention because of their lower density, higher specific strength and higher specific stiffness. However, due to the low plasticity and toughness of magnesium alloy and the poor formability at room temperature, the application of magnesium alloy was limited. The formability and ductility of magnesium alloys can be improved by adding some elements, such as zinc and calcium. Mg-Zn-Ca alloys have attracted more and more attention due to their low cost, good precipitation hardening properties, creep resistance and good biodegradability. The research progress in Mg-Zn-Ca alloys in recent years was summarized focusing on material research, alloying and processing methods of Mg-Zn-Ca alloys at home and abroad, and the future development of Mg-Zn-Ca alloys was prospected.

摘要:Using M40 J carbon fiber braided laminated puncture structure preform, ZL301 as matrix alloy, four kinds of laminated puncture Cf/Al composites were prepared by vacuum pressure infiltration method. The effects of Z-direction puncture structure parameters on microstructure, phase composition and tensile properties of Cf/Al composites were investigated, and their fracture deformation behavior and tensile fracture morphology were analyzed. The results show that the Z-direction puncture structure parameters have significant influence on the microstructure and properties of Cf/Al composites, where the average tensile strength of 1#(single strand, 3 mm/pin) and 2#(single strand, 4 mm/pin), 3#(double strand, 3 mm/pin), 4#(double strand, 4 mm/pin) Cf/Al composites reach 623, 353.3, 650.2 and 473 MPa, respectively. In addition, tensile strength of 2# composites is the lowest among the four structures, while that of 4#(double strand, 4 mm/pin) Cf/Al composite is the highest value which is about twice as much as that of 2#composites. The Cf/Al composites with a distance of 3 mm/needle presents less micro infiltration defects and the higher tensile strength. The Z-direction yarn failure delamination phenomenon is easy to appear when single strand pierced yarn is stretched longitudinally. According to the deformation and fracture behavior of Cf/Al composites, the tensile failure process can be divided into three stages: the stage of fiber and matrix bearing, the stage of fiber bearing the load mainly, and the stage of fracture failure.
摘要:The surface of SiCp was coated with Cu by electroless plating method. Taking 2024 Al alloy as the matrix, 60%SiCp/Al-matrix composites were prepared by direct-heating powder thixoforming process, and the effects of Cu coating on the microstructure, phase composition, fracture behavior, flexural strength and thermal expansion coefficient of composite were investigated. The results indicate that after Cu plating, the matrix of the composite is composed of intermetallic compounds dominated by AlCu and Al2Cu, which has a greater impact on the properties and performance of the composites. The thermal expansion coefficient is significantly reduced due to the appearance of new phases AlCu and Al2Cu in the matrix. Compared with the SiCp/2024 Al composite without copper plating, the relative densities of the material after copper plating are 99.15%, which is increased by 1.57%. The coefficients of thermal expansion are 5.73×10-6 K-1, which is reduced by 32.4%. The flexural strength are 283 MPa, which is reduced by 10.2%.
摘要:The partial surface shot peening process was introduced to the low pressure casting A365 aluminum alloy steering knuckle. The effects of distribution of surface residual stress and the heat temperature on the alloy as well as the microhardness were tested and analyzed. The cross-section microstructure of the shot peening section was observed. The results indicate that the eutectic Si grains in the surface microstructure is refined and the surface hardness of aluminum alloy is improved significantly by shot peening. In the range of 0~30 min, the hardness of the aluminum alloy surface is increased gradually with the extension of the shot peening time. When the shot peening time is 30 min, the surface hardness is about 230 HV, which is about 1.35 times higher than that of the center material. Considering that the shot peening effect disappears over 100 ℃, it is not recommended that the working temperature of the casting after shot peening exceed 100 ℃.

摘要:The influence of lanthanum oxide contents on the properties of barium zirconate based ceramic cores were investigated by adjusting addition of lanthanum oxide. The results indicate that as the addition of lanthanum oxide increases, the linear shrinkage and bulk density of the core specimens are gradually decreased, and the apparent porosity is gradually increased, meanwhile the bending strength is gradually declined, and the high temperature deflection is firstly decreased and then increased. When the content of lanthanum oxide is 5%, the core specimens have an excellent high temperature deformation resistance with sufficient bending strength.

摘要:According to the shrinkage porosity and cavity in ZL107 aluminum alloy intake pipe during the tilting casting and numerical simulation on ProCAST, the tilting casting process was optimized by orthogonal numerical simulation experiments to eliminate these defects. The results indicate that the influence of factors on shrinkage porosity present as follows: mould preheating temperature>pouring temperature>tilting speed>gate cup preheating temperature.
