摘要:Magnesium alloy has the advantages of high specific strength, high specific stiffness and good casting performance. It is the lightest structural material and has a good application prospect. In recent ten years, magnesium alloys with long period stacking order(LPSO) structure have attracted more and more attention due to their unique microstructure and excellent mechanical properties in Mg-Y-Zn ternary system. The structure of LPSO phase in Mg-Y-Zn alloy is characterized by periodic stacking faults, accompanied by the enrichment of Zn and Y atoms on specific atomic planes. Because of the large size, the strength of LPSO phase can be improved by short fiber strengthening mechanism. The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-based alloy containing LPSO phase can be significantly improved by adding different alloying elements, which can refine the grain structure and mechanical properties of the alloy. The effects of different alloying elements on the microstructure and properties of Mg-Y-Zn alloys containing LPSO phase were reviewed, and the research status in this field was further summarized, which could provide useful references for researchers in related fields.
摘要:In recent years, due to rapid development of national economy, the demand for electricity from various industries is gradually increased, and the construction of power grid infrastructure is constantly promoted. With the escalation of quantities of high-capacity, high-voltage, remote transmission line, there appear some problems in the running of ordinary steel-cored aluminum stranded wire. In order to meet the national power industry development requirements, it is urgently needed to prepare a new energy-saving conductor with large proportion of draw-weight, desirable sag performance, low energy loss and optimal corrosion resistance. Considering that the electrical conductivity of aluminum alloy can be improved by rare earth elements, the relationship among the material composition, technology and performance of a new rare earth aluminum alloy material was mainly introduced, which can provide reference for engineering application.
摘要:Multi-principal-element high-entropy alloy extends the composition design to the deep regions of the multicomponent phase diagram, which has no clear difference between solvent and solute. Therefore, these alloys have a more complex composition, unique atom structure and high mixing entropy and manifest lots of distinctive properties, determining that the solidification behavior of the multi-principal element high entropy alloy is different from that of the traditional alloy, especially in aspects of solute redistribution, solidification microstructure formation and grain refinement methods. Based on the complex compositions of multi-principal-element high entropy alloys, the solidification structure, composition segregation and methods of grain refinement of some typical systems were mainly reviewed, and the future research on solidification behaviors and microstructure control was prospected.
摘要:The automatic and intelligent cutting process scheme for casting blank grinding was provided, and the segmentation and detection method of casting riser was investigated. FLA-Net, a point cloud network, was put forward based on the improvement of RandLA-NET, and an ACSE coding module combining cosine similarity was proposed to improve the segmentation accuracy of casting riser aiming at the issues that only the distance information is considered and the direction information is ignored in the network. In view of the disorder of point cloud, X space transformation matrix is used referring to the PointCNN segmentation framework, so that the network has space transformation invariance, and the network expression ability and semantic segmentation accuracy are improved. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the FLA-Net is more accurate and has a better prospect of engineering application compared with the classical point cloud semantic segmentation framework.
摘要:Fluent platform was used to simulate the heat insulation, natural convection and forced air cooling of a sponge titanium reactor with capacity of 13 t, as well as the temperature field distribution and variation curves of the reactor under different feeding rates. The results indicate that under the condition of heat insulation and natural convection, the temperature in reaction zone is increased with the increase of the feeding rate, where the rate of 705 kg/h is 180 K higher than that of 505 kg/h. At forced air cooling, the temperature field with feed rates of 405, 505, 605, 705 and 805 kg/h is similar to that with 405 kg/h under natural convection, which effectively controls and improves the temperature distribution. The simulation results reveal that the temperature is increased rapidly firstly, and reaches the peak value of 1 358 K at 500 kg/h for 3.44 h, which is stable at 1 262 K after 16.67 h. When feeding rate is 705 kg/h, the temperature reaches the peak of 1 434 K after 1.67 h, and then becomes stable at 1 307 K after 15.28 h.

摘要:In view of falsely high costs, low transportation efficiency and low vehicle utilization caused by manual dispatch of transportation in the process of order delivery and returning of existing foundry enterprises, the order dispatch of foundry enterprises was investigated. A mathematical model of multi-target order dispatch and return transportation with transportation cost, delivery date, and vehicle utilization as indicators was established. A double evolutionary elimination system of teaching and learning algorithm(Diverse poor and rich algorithm-Teaching and learning algorithm, DP-TLBO) was proposed, and a continuous coding method was designed. The reverse learning of the sine acceleration factor was introduced to enhance the local search ability and prevent from falling into the local optimum in the later stage of the search. The dual evolution mechanism of teaching and learning algorithms as well as rich and poor optimization algorithms was adopted to compete and eliminate scheduling schemes. The results of experiments with multiple test functions indicate that the double-evolution elimination teaching and learning algorithm has desirable performance. Finally, the results of multiple scale simulation experiments for two different casting companies reveal that the mathematical model and algorithm proposed lead to the lower costs, higher transportation efficiency and higher vehicle utilization compared with manual transportation methods.

摘要:Aiming at the practical problems that the surface adhesion of the anode steel claw is difficult to measure, the ratio of the volume of the adhered material to the volume of the anode steel jaw was defined as the adhesion index of the anode steel claw, which was then converted to the physical quantities related to the diameter of the adherents by analyzing the mathematical model.

The design of the image acquisition system, the image processing flow and the system software writing flow were provided, and the programming platform was adopted to complete the design of visual processing algorithm. The software verification results reveal that the method can measure the adhesion index of anode steel claws accurately.
摘要:Aiming at the low cost of rare-earth magnesium alloys under industrial production conditions, combining with the principle of total solute control and rare earth coupling strengthening, Mg-Y-Gd-Sm series casting magnesium alloys were designed. Combining with the DSC curve and the as-cast structure, the proportion of divorced eutectic phases in the alloys was analyzed. Meanwhile, the structure and mechanical properties of the alloys after solution treatment with different processes and the age hardening curves at different temperatures were analyzed comparatively to optimize the solution and age heat treatment process.

摘要:The effects of C2Cl6, ultrasonic, flux and argon degassing on hydrogen content and mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy were investigated. The results show that argon has the satisfeid hydrogen removal effect, where the hydrogen content can be decreased to 7.3 cm3/100 g. The corresponding tensile strength, yield strength and elongation reach 200 MPa, 128 MPa and 5.2%, respectively, at room temperature. Meanwhile, the effects of hydrogen content on the mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy were investigated. When the hydrogen content in AZ91 alloy is less than 11 cm3/100 g, further degassing of hydrogen content has little effect on mechanical properties.
摘要:The casting fluidity of Mg-xGd-1 Er-0.5 Zr(x=8, 10, 12, in mass fraction) alloy was investigated by spiral specimen method. The phase precipitation and microstructure of the alloy during solidification were analyzed by XRD and thermal analysis. The results show that with the increase in Gd content, the nucleation and segregation of α-Mg can be inhibited, and the liquidus is decreased and the free flow time of the alloy melt is increased, reducing the solidification temperature range and improving the fluidity of the alloy. In addition, the grain size of Mg-xGd-1 Er-0.5 Zr alloy is decreased and the flow length is increased with increasing in the Gd content, which is attributed to grain refinement that improves the solid phase ratio of dendrite lapping at the front of liquid flow and delays the dendrite lapping.
摘要:The massive and coating Al2Ni2TiCoCrCu0.5FeMo high-entropy alloys were prepared by vacuum melting and laser cladding. X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and microhardness tester were employed to analyze microstructure and hardness. The results indicate that both alloys exhibit BCC structure, however, the coating alloy consists of only one BCC phase, while the massive alloy is composed of two BCC phases with different composition but the same lattice constants. Lattice constant is decreased with annealing treatment, where the bulk size is decreased from 0.291 6 nm to 0.290 3 nm, while the coating film is decreased from 0.290 7 nm to 0.288 9 nm. The hardness of the coating alloy is higher than that of massive alloy. Removal of residual stress by annealing leads to the decrease of hardness, and the hardness value of coating is decreased from 853.8 HV to 798.6 HV, while that of massive alloy is decreased from 664.7 HV to 650.9 HV.
摘要:In order to improve the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, taking 304, 316 L, 410 and 420 J2 stainless steel plates as raw materials, laser remelting technology was acted on the surface of the plates to analyze microstructure of the remelted layer by optical microscope(OM) and energy spectrometer(EDS). Electrochemical experiments were conducted to analyze the changes in the corrosion resistance of stainless steel before and after remelting. The results indicate that the microstructure is transformed and grains are refined after laser remelting action on the surface of stainless steel. When the laser power is 1 800 W and the scanning speed is 10 mm/s, the self-corrosion potentials of 304 and 410 stainless steel are-0.005 V and-0.552 V, respectively, which are about 0.008 times and 0.86 times that of the substrate. When the laser power is 1 400 W and the scanning speed is 10 mm/s, the self-corrosion potentials of 316 L and 420 J2 stainless steel are-0.367 V and-0.577 V, respectively, which are 0.67 times and 0.98 times that of the substrate. Therefore, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel can be effectively improved after laser remelting.
摘要:Effects of pouring temperature on the microstructure, tensile properties and stress rupture properties of K465 nickel base superalloy were investigated. The results reveal that with the increase of pouring temperature in the range of 1 420 ℃ to 1 520 ℃, the grains are coarsened without significant change in the morphology and distribution of carbides, and the content of W element in MC carbide is increased with the γ′ phase growing. After the standard heat treatment(1 210 ℃×4 h), the irregular shape of γ′ phase is converted to the cubic shape, and the size is obviously refined. Moreover, the size and morphology of γ′ phase in the alloys with different pouring temperature are almost the consistent after the heat treatment. With the increase of pouring temperature, the strength of the alloys tends to be decreased with increasing in elongation, and the stress rupture properties are improved. After that, the crack initiation and propagation mainly occur near the grain boundaries. Finally, the mechanism that pouring temperature affects the mechanical properties of the alloy was discussed.

摘要:The effects of double annealing processes(890 ℃×1 h/FC+750 ℃×2 h/AC, 570 ℃×4 h/AC) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TC18 titanium alloy by laser additive deposition and repair were investigated by tensile testing machine, scanning electron microscope and metallographic microscope, and compared with original forging TC18 titanium alloy. The results indicate that the microstructure of the repaired specimen is characterized by as-cast microstructure, which is mainly composed of lamellar β-grains, and presents the Widmannian structure after double annealing, where the original β grain boundary is still clearly visible, and the interlaced(α+β) clusters are distributed within the grains. After double annealing, the strength of the deposited specimen is lower than that of the original forgings, while the plasticity is the higher. The properties of the repaired specimen are between the two. The impact properties of the repaired specimen are about 60% higher than that of the forgings. After annealing, the mechanical properties of both specimens can reach the prescribed value of TC18 forgings.

摘要:The effects of recrystallization annealing temperature on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of NSSC 2120 duplex stainlesss steel were investigated by OM, SEM, universal tensile testing machine and electrochemical workstation.The results indicate that under the annealing temperature in range of 950 ℃ to 1 200 ℃, the two phase ratio(α/γ) of ferrite and austenite is gradually increased, and the layered austenite structure is transformed into small austenite islands.The α fiber texture and γ fiber texture components are gradually generated and strengthened. As the annealing temperature increases, the tensile strength of the alloy is gradually decreased, meanwhile the elongation is firstly increased and then decreased, and the corrosion resistance is firstly decreased and then increased.After annealing at 1 000 ℃, the cold-deformed duplex stainless steel has the desirable mechanical properties, where the tensile strength and elongation are 730 MPa and 58%, respectively. After annealing at 1 200 ℃, the corrosion current density of the material reaches lowest value of 2.5 μA·cm-2, where the corrosion resistance is desirable, and exhibits recrystallized texture components such as Brass texture.
摘要:The fluid-thermal field of 1030 aluminum alloy by roll-casting was simulated by Fluent software, and the influence of casting speed and pouring temperature on fluid-thermal field was investigated. The results reveal that the flow field of aluminum melt in the cavity of Hunter nozzle is dominated by the casting speed. During the roll-casting process, the slower the roll casting speed is, the longer is allocated to the aluminum melt, and the smaller the velocity difference between the middle and the two sides of the nozzle outlet is, however, leading to the longer retention of the molten aluminum in the nozzle and the larger drop of temperature; Effect of pouring temperature on fluid-thermal field of aluminum melt is very limited, which only affects the velocity field in the edge area and the overall temperature distribution of the nozzle and hardly affects the distribution of fluid-thermal field. The condition that the casting speed is set at 1.2 m/min and the casting temperature is set at 695 ℃ is conducive to the flow and filling of melt in the nozzle cavity, which is the most conducive to the flow stability of nozzle and the quality of slab.

摘要:The effects of heating temperature and cooling mode on microstructure and mechanical properties of mature titanium alloys were investigated. The results indicate that when the content of primary α phases is large and the strength is low, the amount of primary α phases in the microstructure of the alloy can be effectively reduced by increasing a high temperature pretreatment, annealing temperature or cooling rate, implementing the regulatory purposes of improving the tensile strength, high temperature lasting strength and fracture toughness. When the content of primary α phase is less and the plasticity and impact toughness are low, the amount of primary α phases can be increased by controlling the annealing and cooling rate in the two-phase region to achieve the regulatory purpose of improving the tensile plasticity and impact toughness.
