摘要:Al-5 Zn-2 Mg-1 Cu-0.2 Sc alloy was fabricated by rheo-squeeze casting. The effects of pouring temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of semi-solid slurry and rheo-squeeze casting alloy were investigated by tensile test, SEM and TEM. The results reveal that with the decrease of pouring temperature, the morphology of the primary α-Al phases in semi-solid slurry and rheo-squeeze casting alloy is gradually converted to the nearly equiaxed ones, and the second phase near the grain boundaries is more evenly distributed, with the average grain size decrease and the roundness increase.When the pouring temperature is 700 ℃, the size of the primary phase in the semi-solid slurry reaches about 35 μm with the average shape factor around 0.49, and the average grain size of the rheo-squeezecasting alloy is about 43 μm.The mechanical properties of rheo-squeeze casting alloy are enhanced with the decrease of pouring temperature. After 470 ℃×10 h+500 ℃×2 h solution treatment, most of the second phase is dissolved in the matrix. After 120 ℃×24 h aging treatment, the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of Al-5 Zn-2 Mg-1 Cu-0.2 Sc alloy reach 539 MPa, 612 MPa and 11%, respectively.
摘要:5356 aluminum alloy with different Mg content was prepared by vacuum-argon melting casting method. The purification effect of vacuum melting on aluminum alloy melt was analyzed, and the effect of different Mg content on the microstructure and properties of 5356 aluminum alloy was described. The results show that, the degassing and impurity removal effects are significant, and the size and content of oxide inclusions are greatly reduced under vacuum melting conditions. Mg is easy to form a network of non-equilibrium phase α-Al+Al3Mg2 at the grain boundary. With the increase of Mg content in 5356 aluminum alloy, the tensile strength of the alloy is increased with dccreasing in elongation. The optimum Mg content is 5.0%.

摘要:The as-cast structure, solid solution and aging characteristics and structure changes of Cu-15 Ni-8 Sn alloy with Mg content of 0.05%~0.30% were investigated. The experimental results indicate that Mg is segregated in the Sn-rich phase at as-cast state, and significantly inhibits the discontinuous precipitation during the alloy aging process, thus improving the mechanical properties. When the ageing time is 6 h, with the increase of Mg content, the alloy hardness is increased and the electrical conductivity is decreased. The hardness and conductivity of the alloy with 0.3% Mg are 369 HV and 4.85 MS/m, respectively, which are increased by 11 HV and decreased by 0.26 MS/m compared with those of one without Mg.
摘要:The carbon fiber M40 J was woven with two braided structures(3 D orthogonal and laminated stitch), and the Cf/Al composites were prepared by vacuum pressure infiltration method. Tensile tests were carried out on notched specimens and smooth specimens with the same size. Microstructure and interface characteristics of the composites were observed and analyzed by SEM and TEM. The tensile properties of two kinds of braided Cf/Al composites with notches were investigated, and the influence of notches on the properties of composites and the sensitivity of composites with different braided structures to notches were analyzed. The results show that the tensile properties of Cf/Al composites with two kinds of braided structures are obviously weakened due to the notches. The tensile strength of notched specimens of 3 D orthogonal Cf/Al composites is decreased by 141.3 MPa compared with that of smooth specimens to about 23.7%, and its notch tensile sensitivity coefficient is 1.31. The tensile strength of notched specimens of laminated stitch Cf/Al composites is decreased by 121.8 MPa compared with that of smooth specimens about 28.9%, and its notch tensile sensitivity coefficient is 1.41. The laminated stitch structure is more sensitive to the notches than the 3 D orthogonal structure.
摘要:The uniaxial stretching process of single-crystal magnesium containing voids was simulated by molecular dynamics and embedded atom method,and the influence of tensile crystal orientation and void shape on the growth and deformation of voids was investigated.The results show that the microscopic mechanism of the void growth and deformation of single crystal magnesium is different when the crystal orientation is stretched.Stretching along the■crystal direction,cracks perpendicular to the stretching direction appear inside the crystal.As the loading progresses,the cracks and voids coalesce and the voids grow eventually lead to material failure,while stretching along the[0001]crystal direction,dislocations nucleation occurs on the surface of the cavity and stacking faults appear.As the loading progresses,the stacking faults become the nucleation point of twins.The twins begin to grow up and gradually occupy the entire crystal and eventually lead to material failure.Different cavity shapes have little effect on the Young’s modulus of the material,however it will has a certain effect on the yield strength of the single crystal Mg.Stretching along the■crystal direction,it is taken easier for the crystals containing spherical voids to produce perpendicular to the stretching at the middle position.Directional cracks,cracks and cavities coalesce can result in the material failure,so when stretched along the■crystal direction,the yield strength of the material with spherical cavities is the smallest.
摘要:In order to understanding the formation and microscopic mechanism of zirconium hydrogen precipitation, a diffusion model of hydrogen atoms in ε-ZrH2 was established. Based on the first principles, the properties of ε-ZrH2 gap occupancy stability, hydrogen atom diffusion path, and diffusion mobility under different pressures were investigated. The results indicate that ε-ZrH2 is a body-centered tetragonal structure with two octahedral gaps and two tetrahedral gaps. The interstitial sites of hydrogen atoms are all stable. Hydrogen atoms preferentially occupy tetrahedral interstitial sites and tend to diffuse along the c-axis. Pressure can increase the diffusion activation energy and reduce the diffusion coefficient, which is decreased with increasing in pressure.
摘要:The laser-MIG hybrid welding process was used to weld 6082 aluminum alloy medium and thick plates. After the welding was completed, the microstructure observation, hardness test and tensile performance test of the weld were carried out. The results show that with the laser power of 4.5 kW, the welding speed of 1.2 m/min, the defocus of +5 mm, and the wire feed speed of 8 m/min, the weld surface presents desirable. The microstructure of the weld fusion zone is uniformly equiaxed dendrites with smaller grains, narrow heat-affected zone, and the structure of the upper part of the weld is smaller and denser than that of the lower part of the weld. Meanwhile, the hardness of the heat-affected zone of the welded joint is higher than that of the base metal and the center of the weld. The average tensile strength of the joint reaches 251.9 MPa, which is close to the base material.
摘要:The hot cracking occur easily in ZL205 A alloy during solidification process. However, the lack of constitutive model in the high temperature makes it considerably difficult to predict hot cracking. The linear elastic, elasto-plastic and elasto-visco-plastic constitutive models which are suitable for the mushy alloy of ZL205 A was evaluated by the simulation of ProCAST software, which was compared with the actual pouring test of hot crack on this basis. The results indicate that the elasto-visco-plastic constitutive model is more suitable for the mushy alloy of ZL205 A, and the stress is mainly concentrated at the intersection of the flange and the thin-wall of large-sized thin-wall cylindrical component with the constitutive model. The deformation of cylindrical component is effectively improved when the height of tiepiece is increased from 19 mm to 48 mm.
摘要:Friction stir processing(FSP) technology was used for single pass processing of 5086 aluminum alloy. The microstructure, mechanical properties, storage modulus and damping behavior of the alloy were investigated. The results reveal that the grain in 5086 aluminum alloy is refined after FSP, and the number of second phase particles and dislocation density are decreased obviously. After FSP, the elongation of 5086 aluminum alloy is significantly enhanced, and the elongation of low rotation speed FSP sample reaches 22%, which is 83% higher than that of base metal. At 350 ℃, the internal friction value of low rotation speed FSP is 0.068, which is 55% higher than that of base material. When the strain is higher than 0.06%, small grain boundaries occur to slip and induce grain boundary damping, which takes the damping properties of FSP samples superior to that of base metal. The storage modulus of 5086 aluminum alloy is increased with the increase of temperature and strain, respectively, and the storage modulus of FSP samples is significantly higher than that of base metal.
摘要:A test model of YOLOv3-Mv2 was proposed to detect the scratches and defects of castings. Firstly, a smaller skeleton network MobileNetv2 instead of the original feature extraction network structure Darknet53 was chosen to reduce the amounts of computational parameters of the network and to accelerate detection. Secondly, a new detection scale based on the fusion of deep and shallow features was added to enhance the detection capability of the small defect target.Then the parameters of the BN layer were recalculated, sharing connected area data with the reel layer to speed up the forward inference of the model. Finally, the Complete IoU function was introduced to improve positioning accuracy. The results indicate that the average accuracy(mAP) value and the real-time performance of YOLOv3-Mv2 were improved by 5.42% and 23 f/s than those of the original YOLOv3 algorithm, respectively.

摘要:The self-developed casting simulation software EasyCast and the NovaCast software were used to simulate the low-pressure casting process of magnesium alloy partition. It was found that the solidification process of plate castings didn’t follow the principle of sequential solidification, and there existed shrinkage cavity. The process was improved by adding chiller. Before and after the improvement, the solidification temperature field predicted by the two software were basically the same. Although the size of the shrinkage cavity predicted was slightly different, the position of shrinkage cavity was roughly the same. It shows that the simulation conclusion is reliable. As a result, most of the casting thickness is prone to shrinkage cavity and porosity. Through setting chiller, the effect of shrinkage can be enhanced and shrinkage cavity can be improved.
摘要:Injection mechanism is important for filling and forming in squeeze casting equipment. The fit clearance of its components greatly affects the accuracy and stability in the injection process. To minimize the change of fitting clearance during injection, a multi-objective optimization method based on the Kriging metamodel was proposed which taken into account for the clearance rate and temperature difference as the objectives, and considered the key parameters of the injection mechanism and process such as initial clearance and pouring temperature. The results show that the accuracy of Kriging metamodel is higher than 0.97. Meanwhile, the optimized process parameters were presented as follows: casting pouring temperature of 701 ℃, shot-sleeve preheating temperature of 338 ℃, shot-sleeve wall thickness of 16 mm, initial clearance of 0.1061 mm and injection velocity of 56 mm/s, where the clearance rate is reduced by 10% and the heat transfer temperature difference is reduced by 49% after optimization. In addition, the filling process is more stable.
摘要:Based on 3 D technology, a 316 L stainless steel green body was prepared, solidified and degreased, and then high-vacuum sintered at 1 385 ℃, 1 410 ℃ and 1 435 ℃ to verify the feasibility of pressureless sintering and densification of the printing green body. The influence of sintering process on density, mechanical properties and tensile fracture of the specimens was investigated.

With the increase of the sintering temperature, the density of the samples increased and the size contraction is increased, and the mechanical properties such as the strength and plasticity are also greatly improved. With sintered at 1 435 ℃, its relative density reaches 88.7%, and the volume shrinkage rate is 37.0%, the yield strength is 160 MPa, which is close to the level of 177 MPa. Meanwhile, the tensile strength is 355 MPa, and the elongation reaches 26.4%.
摘要:The import and domestic consumables of inkjet sand mold 3 D printer were investigated comparatively. The silica content, microstructure, grain size distribution, moisture content, bulk density, apparent density of raw sand was analyzed. The pH value and viscosity index of the resin and blinder were tested. The proportion process of imported and domestic consumables when printing and the modification method of domestic resin were explored. The results indicate that the domestic sand can directly replace the import one, which has similar performance parameters. As an important index of resin, viscosity need to match with the print nozzle, which is the core component of the printer. The viscosity of imported resin is about 15 mPa·s, while that of domestic resin is about 25 mPa·s. Therefore, domestic resin needs modification before used for printing. Through the design of the orthogonal experiment on the type of raw sand and resin as well as the ratio of resin, the standard eight-character block was prepared and the tensile strength and air output were tested. The results demonstrate that the ratio of resin has the greatest impact on the tensile strength, and when the standard bars use the combination of domestic furan resin x2 with addition of 2% and domestic silicon sand Z1 as raw material, the tensile strength meet the printing requirements. The results of modification experiment on domestic resin indicate that the optimal amount of modifier is 10%, where sand mold still exhibits enough strength, and the modification is achieved meanwhile.

The electromagnetic stirring can seriously influence distribution of rare earth element, and the rare earth microsegregation occurs at the maximum rotation rate of the metal melt, thus making the rare earth atoms distributed more evenly and reducing macrosegregation.
摘要:According to the problems in coarse primary silicon and acicular eutectic silicon in traditional hypereutectic Al-Si alloy, the semi-solid slurry of Al-28 Si alloy was prepared by serpentine channel composite Sr modification process. The microstructure of the semi-solid slurry and the precipitation temperature of primary silicon were investigated. The results reveal that the composite process can fully refine the primary silicon and effectively modify the eutectic silicon. The primary silicon is refined from 165.26 μm to 45.68 μm, and the structure of eutectic silicon is transformed from acicular to punctate and worm-like. With the increase of the Sr addition, the precipitation temperature of primary silicon is increased at first and then decreased, and the grain size shows an increasing trend. The growth of eutectic silicon with a large number of fibrous branches is limited by aluminum phase.
摘要:Based on Ti48Zr18V12Cu5Be17 metallic glasses composite, the effects of semi-solid isothermal treatment(SSIT) and recrystallization and partial remelting(RAP) on the microstructure and properties of the amorphous composites were investigated. The results show that after SSIT and RAP, phase transformation is absent, however the microstructure is converted from small dendrites to coarse strip crystal and near-spherical crystal. Due to recrystallization, the microstructure of RAP is finer and rounder than that of SSIT. The RAP ed composites has the best plasticity(20.43%) which is 8.27% higher than that of SSIT and its compressive strength(1 829.45 MPa) and yield strength(1 144.06 MPa) are also higher. The fracture of RAP can be observed the maximum density of veins and smooth area and molten drop also exist in three kinds of materials. The shear bands of as-cast composited are easy to penetrate the grain. In addition to the shear band, there exsit a large number of slip bands in the grain of SSIT. The propagation of shear bands in the amorphous matrix of RAP is hindered and multiple shear bands are generated. The parallel and crossed slip bands in the grain indicate that the grain can absorb more energy and withstand greater plastic deformation.

It is concluded that more reasonable pouring can improve the risk of process exposure and reduce the reject rate.

The microstructure of castings after cutting was investigated by SEM,metallographic examination and hydrogen content test was carried out. The results indicate that the microcrack fractures are characterized by brittle cleavage without obvious oxidation and common defects, such as shrinkage and inclusion, in area of microcrack sources, and no abnormality occurs in the microcrack area.It can be inferred that there is absence of defect in casting, and possibility of microcrack cleavage caused by casting defect is excluded. In addition, cracks appear on the machine surface after fluorescent detection of untested castings in same batch, proving that residual stress leads to the microcracks.
