摘要:The segregation of impurity elements is known as an important factor leading to abnormal failure of large-scale key structural parts.The segregation degree,segregation position and segregation type of impurity elements such as P,Ca,Zn,Pb,Cu,Fe,Zr and Mn were analyzed for A356.2 aluminum alloy wheel hub by reverse squeeze casting.The results reveal that the rheological behavior of squeeze casting has an important influence on the segregation of impurity elements.Three kinds of interesting segregation are presented as follows:the"channel segregation"along the rheological feeding channel,the "zero rheological segregation" in the non-deformation zone,and the "specific gravity segregation" of calcium and copper.The degree of segregation of these impurity elements can be divided into four grades according to the segregation ratio from low to high.Zinc,plumbum and phosphorus belong to serious segregation elements with the segregation ratio higher than 0.3,which reaches grade 4,while calcium belongs to the heavy segregation element with the segregation ratio of 0.2~0.3,which is grade 3.Meanwhile,the impurity elements such as iron,copper,manganese,zirconium are all light segregation elements with the segregation ratio of 0.1~0.2,which is grade 1 or grade 2.The segregation position of impurity elements is controlled by solidification sequence,rheological state and spatial position.The central position(zero rheological zone)under punch or indenter and local hot spot positions of reverse filling are the accumulation area of k0<1 impurity elements.On the contrary,the farthest position of reverse filling is poor in impurity elements.
摘要:The Inconel 718 alloy was fabricated by selective laser melting with different scanning speeds and modes.The effects of process parameters on molten-pool morphology,solidification structure,grain growth and grain orientation were investigated.The results indicate that the depth-width ratio of the molten-pool is increased and the curvature is decreased with the increase of the scanning rate,while the ratio with the single-direction scanning is greater than that with the decussation scanning at 1 450 mm/s.In the molten pool,the solidified structure is converted from the cell crystal at the bottom to the cell dendrite on the side of the molten pool.The grains are grown along the preferred orientation of<001>direction,and the misorientation is dominated by small-angle misorientation(<15°).The fraction of small-angle misorientation is increased with the scanning rate increase under the decussation scanning mode.When scanning rate is constant,the fraction of the small-angle misorientation is 62.57% under the decussation scanning mode,while that under single-direction scanning mode is 47.69%.

摘要:The structure transformation of DD9 nickel-based single crystal superalloy and formation mechanism of the incipient melting structures during homogenization were investigated.The results indicate that there are two types of incipient melting structures:irregular one caused by meltedγ/γ′eutectic and regular one caused by melted homogenization pore.Due to the generation of incipient melting structures,which reduces the high-temperature performances of castings,the rupture life of specimen at 1 100 ℃ and 137 MPa is decreased by 35 h.Both structures can be avoided by increasing holding time at lower temperature and promoting the diffusion of elements.

摘要:The multiple trace rare earth elements RE(0.2%Y+0.1%Nd+0.05%Gd)(mass percentage)were added to prepare light and high-strength Mg-9Li-1Zn-RE alloy(LZ91-RE),which was subsequently forged and cold rolled.The microstructure and phase of the as-forged and as-rolled LZ91 alloy and LZ91-RE alloy were analyzed by means of OM,SEM,EDS,XRD,TEM.Meanwhile,the mechanical properties of the alloy prepared were tested by the tensile testing machine.The results reveal that the microstructure of LZ91 alloy consists of two phases ofα-Mg andβ-Li.After the addition of multiple rare earth elements,the volume fraction ofαphase in LZ91 alloy is reduced by 26.5%,and the grains are significantly refined.Y-rich,Nd-rich,Mg12Nd and Mg3RE rare earth strengthening phases are in-situ precipitated,however there exists a local segregation.After deformation of the LZ91-RE alloy by cold rolling with large strain,the rare earth strengthening phases in the alloy are broken and refined with more uniform distribution.In addition,compared with that of the LZ91 alloy,the tensile strength of the as-forged LZ91-RE alloy is increased by 13.9%.The tensile strength of the cold-rolled LZ91-RE alloy is increased by 19%,while the elongation is only reduced by 4.44%.
摘要:The effects of hot isostatic pressure(HIP)(80~120 MPa)and duration(1~3 h)on defects and properties of AlSi7 Cu2 Mg alloy castings with different wall thickness were investigated by multi-step sand casting.The results reveal that with the increase of HIP pressure and holding time,the holes are reduced,the density and the tensile strength of castings with different wall thickness are enhanced.The thicker the wall thickness is,the more obvious the enhancement of density and tensile strength is.When the holding time is more than 2 hunder the fixed HIP temperature(490℃)and pressure(100 MPa),the density is slightly increased,while the tensile strength has no obvious improvement when the HIP pressure exceeds a critical value(~100 MPa)under the fixed HIP temperature(490℃)and time(2 h).

摘要:Aiming at the high porosity open cell aluminum foam(sponge aluminum)prepared by investment casting method,the relative density of sponge aluminum is increased by increasing the thickness of the struct in the precursor,and the effects of struct size on the compression performance were investigated.The results reveal that the struct of polyurethane sponge can be thickened effectively by using waterborne polyurethane resin(WPU),and the foam aluminum with pore edge thickness of 0.472~0.918 mm and relative density of 0.027~0.164 were prepared.The results of uniaxial compression test indicate that the strength of sponge aluminum is greatly enhanced by increasing the struct.When the thickness of struct is 0.918 mm,the densification platform and energy absorption reach the maximum,which are 2.831 MPa and 1.492 MJ/m3,respectively.The reason is that the relative density is increased with the increase of struct thickness,improving the energy absorption capacity of sponge aluminum.
