摘要:The active rare earth element Y can easily transform to yttrium oxide inclusions during the melting and casting of magnesium alloys,resulting in the yield reduction of Y-containing magnesium alloy castings,which has become one of the key bottlenecks in the promotion and application of Y-containing magnesium alloys.The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-xGd-(12-x)Y-0.5Zn-0.5Zr(x=9,10,11,12)alloy were investigated with part of Y substituted for Gd under the premise of keeping the fixed total mass fraction of rare earths.The results indicate that the phase composition of the as-cast alloy is mainly composed ofα-Mg matrix and(Mg,Zn)5(Gd,Y)eutectic phase,and the second phase is almost completely dissolved after solution treatment,with the second phase particles of Mg5Gd,Mg3Gd or Mg2Gd remaining.Alloys containing Y element can reach the peak hardness at 16 h,while the Mg-12Gd-0.5Zn-0.5Zr alloy reaches the peak hardness at 64 h,which is significantly lower than that of the other alloys contained Y.In three states of as-cast,solid solution and peak aging,Mg-9Gd-3Y-0.5Zn-0.5Zr and Mg-12Gd-0.5Zn-0.5Zr alloys always exhibit a lower elongation.

摘要:The semi-solid stirring casting method was employed to prepare the 17% SiCp/A357 aluminum matrix composites.The effects of the processing parameters including stirring temperature,stirring rate and stirring time on the homogeneous distribution of SiCpparticles were investigated and the process was optimized.The results reveal that the stirring in semi-solid temperature range of the alloy is beneficial to reduce inspiratory and promote uniform distribution of SiCp particles compared with liquid stirring,while SiCpparticles will be pushed to the boundary by larger primary phase during the process with a lower temperature,resulting in uneven distribution of SiCpparticles.The distribution uniformity of SiCpcan be increased by increasing stirring rate and prolonging stirring time,which will tend to be deteriorated with a longer time.The optimized stirring process parameters under test conditions are presented as follows:stirring temperature of 610℃,stirring speed of 800 r/min,stirring time of 20 min.SiCpparticles are evenly distributed in the ingot structure of large-scale aluminum matrix composites with φ240 mm×330 mm and 41 kg.
摘要:In order to develop cast aluminum alloy material based on Al-Ni eutectic system,effects of Zn,Mg,Cu and Fe elements on microstructure,thermal analysis curves and mechanical properties of Al-Ni alloys were comparatively investigated by sand casting and squeeze casting.The results indicate that Al2Mg3Zn3 and MgZn2 phases with great aging strengthening effect are formed from Zn and Mg,without reacting with Ni to form any new second phases yet,while Cu and Fe can react with Ni to form a large number of Al3CuNi phase and Al9FeNi phases respectively.The amounts of eutectic phases are decreased due to the addition of Zn,Mg,and Cu,broadening the solidification interval and reducing the casting performances,while the addition of Fe has the contrary effect.Moreover,Zn and Mg are the most effective strengthening elements in Al-Ni alloys,which are superior to Cu and Fe from comparative analysis of mechanical properties.
摘要:The corrosion and electrochemical properties of Zr56Cu19Ni11Al9Nb5amorphous alloy in various HCl solutions were investigated using immersion tests,potentiodynamic polarization tests,scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).Immersion tests reveal that absence of significant corrosion is observed after immersion in 0.01,0.1and 1mol/L HCl solutions for 2 256hand in 2mol/L HCl solution for 720h,presenting the acceptable corrosion resistance.The corrosion resistance is decreased with the increase of HCl concentration,and severe corrosion occurs after immersion in 5 mol/L HCl solution for 168h.Potentiodynamic polarization tests demostrate that the spontaneous corrosion potential Ecorris dropped gradually from 0.402V (vs.SCE)to-0.245V (vs.SCE),with the corrosion current density jcorrincreased gradually from 5.212×10-8A/cm2to 6.095×10-5A/cm2,showing that the corrosion resistance is gradually deteriorated,which is consistent with the result of immersion test.SEM/EDS analysis indicates that the corrosion products are mainly oxides,such as ZrO2and Cu2O.

摘要:Al-9Si-0.2Mg-xFe alloys with different Fe content were prepared by gravity casting,and the effects of Fe element on the microstructures,thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Al alloys were investigated through OM,SEM and EDS analysis.The results indicate that with Fe increasing from 0.1% to 1.0%,the morphology of iron-containing intermetallic is converted from script likeπphase to needle likeβphase,and the dimension is increased from several microns to larger than 100μm.Correspondingly,the thermal conductivity,tensile strength and elongation of alloys are decreased by 6%,11.7% and 66%,respectively,and a sharper decrease occurs when the Fe content is over 0.6%.
摘要:A vacuum-assisted die-casting experiments of SiC/6061 composites were carried out,and the formation mechanism of the surface layer and the internal pores of samples with different wall thicknesses,and their influence on the mechanical properties of the samples were investigated.The results show that there exists a surface layer with a thickness of about 0.5 mm in the samples with different wall thicknesses,and the 2 mm wall thickness samples are dominated by scattered gas pores.When the wall thickness is increased to 4 mm,the pores are dominated by gas-shrinkage pores.Large-sized shrinkage pores are discovered,and most of pores are concentrated in the central area of the sample axis.During the tensile test process,large shrinkage pores can induce brittle fracture of the sample,and the internal particles can cause brittle failure of the surface layer,resulting in a decrease in the tensile properties of the HPDC SiC/6061 composites.

摘要:Regarding to traditional casting process and the requirements of semi-solid die casting process,phase diagram calculation(CALPHAD)was used to optimize the composition and heat treatment processes of a cast AlSi-Mg-Fe-Mn alloy to avoid the formation of brittleβ-AlFeSi phases,leading to the alloy with optimized microstructure and improved performance consequently.Meanwhile,the in-situ tensile deformation behaviors of the AlSi alloy were investigated.The result indicate that the cracks are mainly originated from the fracture of eutectic Si particles and intermetallic compound particles.Microcracks connect with each other and propagate along the slip band,resulting in eventual fracture of specimens.
摘要:The evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of low stacking fault energy Cu-Al-Ni alloy after twice deformation and aging were investigated by means of thermomechanical treatment.When the comprehensive process is unidirectional cold-rolled for 80% and holding at 350 ℃for 60 min,then cold-rolled for 50%and aging at 350 ℃ for 15 min,the matching of strength and plasticity of the samples is desirable,where the strength can reach 774.35 MPa and the elongation is 5.29%,which can be attributed to deformation strengthening and precipitation strengthening.XRD analysis indicates that NiAl precipitates are generated during aging process.During annealing process,the elongation of the alloy is increased continuously,which is resulted from dislocation recovery,microstructure coarsening and fine precipitate dispersion distribution.

摘要:The isothermal compression deformation behavior of Mg-Zn-Gd-Y-Zr alloy was performed on gleebl-3500 thermal simulator.The results reveal that the stress is increased with the increase of the strain.After reaching a certain value,the stress begin to decrease,and with temperature increase or strain rate decrease,stress decrease rate is decreased.The stress-strain curves presnt a typical dynamic recrystallization behavior.With increasing in deformation temperature or decreasing in strain rate,recrystallized grain fraction is increased,and recrystallized grain size is coarsened with severely broken of the coarse second phases.By analyzing the true stress-strain curve,the material parameter values of Mg-Zn-Gd-Y-Zr alloy were calculated and the constitutive equation was established.The thermal processing maps of the alloy were established based on the dynamic material model theory,and the optimal thermal processing parameters are presented as follows:deformation temperature of 400~450℃and strain rate of 0.01~0.001 s-1.
摘要:The effects of heat treatment temperature on the hardness and slicing performance of multi-crystalline silicon brick was investigated.The hardness of the samples treated at 800℃,1 000℃and 1 100℃is increased,while that of the samples treated at 1 150℃is slightly decreased,and declined significantly at 1 200℃.The slicing performance of bricks treated above 1 200℃is desirable,and the defects such as saw mark,chipping,total thickness variation(TTV)occurred in the slicing process with diamond wire slicer are substantially improved.However,the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery piece made of multi-crystalline silicon brick by the conventional process after above-mentioned process is reduced significantly,which may be attributed to the diffusion of impurity elements into the brick during the heat treatment process,affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell.

摘要:A390 aluminum alloy was prepared by a composite process of serpentine pouring channel(SPC)and Srmodifier.The microstructure and hanging rate of hanging metal solidified in the SPC were analyzed and the effects of Sr,commonly used as a eutectic Si modifier,on the refinement mechanism of primary Si particles(PSPs)under the cooling condition in the SPC process were investigated.The results indicate that Sr poisoned heterogeneous nucleation sites inhibits the nucleation of the PSPs,which is the dominant factor in the growth of the PSPs under rapid cooling.Further more,Sr element promotes the nucleation and growth of the PSPs by decreasing the solidliquid interface energy.On the other hand,the nucleation and growth of the PSPs are inhibited by increasing the activation energy for diffusion of silicon atoms across the solid-liquid interface.

摘要:The hot compression test was carried out for the Ti-25V-15Cr-0.2Si alloy,and the constitutive equation and dynamic recrystallization mathematical model were established based on the experimental data.The microstructure transformation of Ti-25V-15Cr-0.2Si alloy during thermal deformation was quantified and visualized by Deform-3D finite element software.The results indicate that the dynamic recrystallization volume fraction Xdynis increased and the average grain size davgis decreased continuously with the strain increase under the deformation conditions of 1 050 ℃,0.001 s-1.When the strain reaches 0.92,the davgis 58.62μm,and the relative error is within 10% compared with the experimental data.The overall morphology of the test and simulation microstructure keeps similiar from the strain amount of 0.51,indicating that the deformation begins to enter a stable deformation stage.Through the simulated microstructure observation of the alloy under different deformation conditions,it is found that the dynamic recrystallization can be accelerated and the average grain size is refined at a given deformation temperature by reducing the strain rate.while both dynamic recrystallization occurrence and the growth of recrystallized grains can be promate by increasing the temperature with the constant strain rate.Compared with the metallographic microstructure,it can be seen that the change law of the simulated microstructure is well agreement with the evolution law of the metallographic microstructure.
