摘要:The effects of process parameters, including laser power, scanning speed, scanning interval and scanning strategy, on surface quality of selective laser melting(SLM) forming GH4169 alloy parts were analyzed. The experimental data was orthogonally analyzed and the surface of formed parts under different process parameters were observed. The results indicate that with the laser power of 320 W, the scanning speed of 1 000 mm/s, the scanning interval of 60 μm, the scanning rotation angle of 67° and the volume energy density in the range of 130~150 J/mm3, the cladding channels are smooth, even, straight, and especially well-lapped, and the spheroidization and powders adhesion phenomenon are absent on the surface. Therefore, the surface is flat with the desirable quality and the relatively low Ra value.
摘要:Two kinds of high entropy alloys, CrCuFeMnNi and CoCrCuFeMnNi, were prepared by powder metallurgy. The atmospheric oxidation weight gain of the alloys was measured at 800 ℃. The phases of oxide and morphology of oxidation section were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The atmospheric oxidation behavior of both alloys was discussed. The results indicate that the atmospheric oxidation kinetic curves of the alloys approximately follow the parabolic law. At the initial stage of oxidation, the oxidation weight gain of each alloy is faster, and slows down with the increase of oxidation time. In the rapid oxidation stage, the KP values of CrCuFeMnNi and CoCrCuFeMnNi alloys reach 6.64×10-11 g2·cm-4·s-1 and 3.55×10-11 g2·cm-4·s-1, respectively. In the slow oxidation stage, the KP values of the two alloys are 6.05×10-12 g2·cm-4·s-1 and 2.02×10-11 g2·cm-4·s-1, respectively, indicating that the oxidation resistance of the Co-free alloy is better. The oxidation products of the alloys are mainly Mn4O3, Mn3O2 and Cr2O3. After oxidation, a dense Cr2O3 film is formed between the substrate and the oxide layer, which inhibits the oxidation rate of the inner layer and enhances the oxidation resistance of the Co-free alloy. The oxidation mechanism of the alloys is dominated by selective oxidation.
摘要:The microstructure, mechanical properties and anti-seizure properties of Al-Cu-Mg alloy with low melting point component Bi were investigated. The phase composition of the alloy was observed by XRD, and the microstructure, fracture morphology and wear surface of the alloy were observed by SEM and EDS. The results reveal that with the Bi addition of 2%, the distribution of spherical Bi-rich phase appears in the alloy, which is basically composed of Mg3Bi2with small size. However, the core/shell structure with Mg3Bi2 core and Bi shell was observed at Bi-rich phase particles with large size. The tensile strength, elongation and hardness of the alloy are decreased by 10%, 21% and 8.5%, respectively, after adding 2.6%Bi, indicating that Bi has a certain weakening effect on the mechanical properties of the alloy. Friction and wear experiments expound that the anti-seizure ability of the alloy is greatly improved after adding Bi, where the load bearing capacity is increased from 1 700 N to 5 500 N. Moreover, the banded Bi-rich phase is smeared on the worn surface, playing a role of self-lubrication.

摘要:A single SLM three-dimensional mathematical model was established using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method. The flow field, temperature field, surface tension and wetting action were coupled to simulate the SLM 316 L stainless steel powder. The influence of different laser power on the length and width of molten pool and the influence of surface tension on SLM process were analysed, and compared with the simulation and the experimental results of finite element simulation software. The results indicate that the length and width of the molten pool are increased with the increase of laser power, verifying that Marangoni is the driving force of SLM process.
摘要:Crystal plasticity finite element method(CPFEM) was adopted to investigate the transverse tensile mechanical properties of single crystal nickel-based superalloy DD6 at 760 ℃. The influence of crystal orientation and loading strain rate on the mechanical properties and deformation characteristics of DD6 alloy were analyzed as well. The results indicate that the calculated constitutive parameters can express the mechanical performance of DD6 well and elastic modulus is increased with the increase of crystal deflection angle under transverse tensile condition. A higher yield stress in the [100] and [110] orientation and a lower yield stress and better ductility in [120] orientation can be obtained due to the various activation of crystal slip system for different orientations. For the same crystal orientation, yield stress and the natural logarithm of strain rate shows a linear relationship under different strain rates.

摘要:The interfacial diffusion behavior and microstructure evolution of Cu/Sn/Cu diffusion couple under electric field were in-situ observed by synchrotron radiation X-ray. The growth kinetics of Cu6Sn5was in-situ investigated under absence of current, bidirectional pulse current and direct current, respectively. The results indicate that the growth of Cu6Sn5 at the Sn/Cu interface is significantly inhibited by the bidirectional pulsed electric field, which forces the precipitation of Cu6Sn5 in the Sn solder in form of plates.DC field can effectively promote the growth of Cu6Sn5in Cu/Sn/Cu diffusion pairs accidentally from anode to cathode.

摘要:Effects of pulsed magnetic field with different parameters on solidification structure and mechanical properties of Mg-Y-Cu-Zr-Sr alloy reinforced by long-period structure by graphite casting were explored by OM, SEM, EDS, XRD, and universal tensile testing machine. The results show that pulsed magnetic field can improve the solidification structure and mechanical properties of Mg-Y-Cu-Zr-Sr alloy effectively. When the single pulse energy is at 0~57.6 J or the pulse period is at 0.1~1 s, with the increase of single pulse energy or the decrease of pulse period, grain size in the alloy is decreased gradually, and volume fraction of the second phase is increased gradually, so mechanical properties of the alloy are increased gradually at room temperature and high temperature. When the single pulse energy is 57.6 J and the pulse period is 0.1 s, grain size in the alloy is reduced by 39%, and volume fraction of the second phase is increased by 230%, so tensile strength and elongation of the alloy at room temperature are increased by 23% and 47%, and those of ones at high temperature are increased by 29% and 99%, respectively.

摘要:The hot deformation behaviors of homogenized Mn/Cr-containing aluminum alloys denoted as WQ were investigated systematically by uniaxial compression tests at various deformation temperature and strain rates. The hyperbolic-sine constitutive equation was employed to determine the parameters and activation energies of materials. Based on dynamic material model, the processing maps of WQ alloys were also constructed to reveal safe processing domain and optimize deformation parameters. Attributed to pinning effect of α-Al(MnCr)Si dispersoids, sub-grain rotation and sub-grain boundaries migration are suppressed. Hence, the softening mechanism in WQ alloy is dominated by dynamic recovery at safe processing domain. Cracks are observed in the microstructure of the machining instability zone, which is related to micro void formation, cracks and debonding of the second phase.
摘要:The effects of homogenization annealing on the microstructure, hardness and corrosion resistance of as-cast 7050 aluminum alloy were analyzed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, hardness test, polarization curve test and intergranular corrosion test. The experimental results indicate that the coarse η phases is gradually transformed into S phases and continuously dissolved in the Al matrix during homogenization annealing at 465 ℃. However, the Al7Cu2Fe phases are dissolved in the Al matrix. The over-burnt phenomenon is observed after homogenization annealing at 465 ℃ for 36 h.With the holding time increasing, the hardness of the alloy is also gradually increased to be stable, where the corrosion potential is firstly increased and then decreased, the corrosion current and intergranular corrosion depth are firstly decreased and then increased. With homogenization treatment at 465 ℃ for 24 h, the alloy exhibits desirable corrosion resistance.
摘要:The hardness, conductivity and microstructure of as-cast and aged Cu-xCr-0.15 Zr(x=0.8~2.0) alloy were analyzed by means of hardness tester, eddy current conductivity tester, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The results reveal that the hardness and conductivity of the aged Cu-xCr-0.15 Zr alloy are significantly higher than those of the as-cast alloy. As the Cr content increases from 0.8% to 2.0%, the hardness, tensile strength and conductivity of the aged Cu-xCr-0.15 Zr alloy are increased firstly and then decreased. When the Cr content is 1.0%, the conductivity, hardness and tensile strength reach up to 48.37 MS/m, 138 HB and 617 MPa, respectively, which is mainly related to the dispersive precipitation of nano-sized CuZr2 phase and Cu5Zr phase after solution and aging heat treatment, playing the role of second phase strengthening in Cu-xCr-0.15 Zr alloy.
摘要:The Mg2Ni0.9Co0.1 hydrogen storage alloy was prepared by metallurgical method, and the phase composition and microstructure of the alloy were invesiagted by XRD and SEM/EDS, meanwhile the hydrogen absorption and desorption properties of the alloy were anlyzed by PCT and DSC. The results reveal that the as-cast alloy is composed of peritectic Mg2Ni phase, Mg-Mg2Ni eutectic structure and a small amount of the first precipitated Mg-Ni-Co ternary phase.The element Co can be dissolved in the Mg2Ni phase to form a Mg2(Ni, Co)solid solution phase. The alloy is transformed into Mg2NiH4 phase, Mg2Ni0.9Co0.1H4 phase and MgH2 phase after hydrogen absorption. The partial substitution of Co for Ni in the Mg2Ni significantly improves the isothermal de-/hydrogenationkinetic properties of the alloy, and the hydrogen release temperature of Mg2Ni0.9Co0.1 hydride is significantly reduced. The initial hydrogen release temperature is about 200 ℃.
摘要:Mg-4 Al-xNd(x=0, 1, 2, 3) alloy samples were prepared by permanent mold casting. The microstructures and phase compositions were analyzed by optical metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, the tensile properties, hardness and thermal conductivity of the alloy prepared were tested. The results reveal that as-cast microstructure of Mg-4 Al alloy is mainly composed of α-Mg and β-Mg17Al12. After adding 1% Nd, acicular and dendritic Al11Nd3 phase can be obserevd. After adding 2%~3% Nd, another granular new phase Al2Nd appears, meanwhile the amount of β-Mg17Al12 phase is decreased to completely disappear. Addition of Nd can effectively improve the mechanical properties and thermal properties of Mg-4 Al alloy. Mg-4 Al-2 Nd alloy exhibits the acceptable comprehensive performance, whose tensile strength, elongation, vickers hardness and thermal conductivity reach up to 209 MPa, 15.0% and 48.8 and 69.5 W/(m·K) at room temperature, with an increase by 9%, 30%, 6% and 13%, respectively, compared with those of Mg-4 Al alloy.

摘要:The carbide evolution behavior of a high tungsten nickel-based superalloy during long-term aging at 1 000 ℃ was investigated by several analysis methods such as SEM, TEM and EPMA. The results indicate that primary MC carbides of the alloy are decomposed into M6C carbides, of which the amount is increased as the prolongation of thermal exposure time. When exposed for 500 h, the morphology of M6C carbides is converted from granular to blocky, and gradually transformed into rod-like after thermal exposure for 1 000 h. The morphology of M6C carbides of the alloy is dominated by the needle-like after thermal exposure for 1 500 h.
摘要:In order to improve the mechanical and physicochemical properties of(TiC+TiB)/Ti-6 Al-4 V titanium matrix composites, electroless nickel plating was carried out on the surface of titanium matrix composites, and the microstructure evolution and properties were investigated by isothermal heat treatment at different temperatures.The results indicate that after electroless nickel plating, a variety of NiTi compounds, such as NiTi, Ni3Ti and Ti2Ni, can be formed firstly on the surface of the materials during the pre-diffusion process of(TiC+TiB)/Ti-6 Al-4 V titanium matrix composites at high temperature. The nickel element in the surface layer is mainly diffused along the phase boundary, and the morphology of matrix structure and the type of compound phase are transformed with the change of heat treatment temperature. The lamellar eutectoid structure appears in the matrix structure at 950 ℃, and the continuously increasing temperature results in the severe coarseness of structure and disappear of lamellar structure. The hardness of the specimens is first decreased and then increased with the increase of heat treatment temperature.
摘要:High chromium cast iron matrix ceramic composites reinforced with ZTA ceramic particles were prepared by negative pressure casting infiltration method with Ni and Cr coating on the surface of ZTA particles. The microstructure, element distribution and phase composition of the composite were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD, and effects of the composites on the casting infiltration and interface bonding were analyzed. The results indicate that there exists a transition zone at the interface of the composites under negative pressure casting infiltration, which is mainly composed of Si and Na with diffusion and aggregation of Al, and contains Fe, Cr, Ni, C, O and other elements. The wettability of ceramic interface is improved by diffusion of elements, promoting the infiltration and bonding of interface. On the Ni coating condition, multiple compounds including CrNiFe, NiSi3P4, Fe2Al5, Na2NiFeF7, NaAlSiO4, Zr3NiO are generated in the transition layer of ceramic particles. Cr3O4, AlCrFe2, Na6Al4Si4O17 and other compounds are formed in the transition layer of ceramic coated with Cr. These compounds can improve the wettability of ceramics and the casting infiltration effect, promoting the combination of ceramics and high chromium cast iron.
摘要:In view of the causes of cracking on the surface and edges of high temperature ring blank in the mold ring blank casting-rolling continuous forming, the mechanical properties of 42 CrMo ring blank by vertical centrifugal casting were investigated at high temperature under different cooling rates and holding time by Geeble-3500 thermal test simulator. The results indicate that the cooling rate and holding time have less influence on the strength of the material, yet more on the plasticity. The plasticity of the material is increased with slowly cooling below 1 000 ℃, while decreased greatly at 1 200 ℃. Rapid cooling has the contrary law that plastic is increased significantly at 1 200 ℃.
摘要:The effects of high energy electron beam remelting on the microstructure and properties of piston throat were compared under different casting processes and hydrogen content. The results show that under the same process parameters of high energy electron beam remelting, the penetration of gravity casting piston sample is greater than that of squeeze casting piston sample, and the hardness of remelting zone is lower than that of squeeze casting piston. When the hydrogen content is higher than 0.25 mL/100 g for squeeze casting samples, or the hydrogen content is higher than 0.15 mL/100 g for gravity casting samples, so there is a high probability of micro holes in the boundary of remelting zone. Under the same casting conditions, the high hydrogen content is easier to cause micro holes than the low hydrogen content, and under the same hydrogen content, the micro holes in gravity casting piston are more likely to appear than that of squeeze casting piston during remelting.
摘要:The MAGMA software was used to simulate the temperature field of large complex ZM5 magnesium housing preapred by differential pressure casting. In order to solve the problem of casting metallurgical quality, hemisphere design in upper mold of lift pipe was designed to increase contact area between the metal liquid and the cavity during differential casting. Liquid metal can reduce the thermal shock of molding sand, which greatly reduce the volume of rolled sand for a long time, so the high quality castings can be obtained.

摘要:In view of the investment casting process of turbine rear frame strut, the ProCAST software was adopted to simulate the filling process, cavity pressure evolution, and shrinkage cavity defects and the causes of the defects was analyzed. On this basis, the process was optimized by improving the exhaust passage, adjusting the pouring position, pouring time of the strut, and the solidification sequence of the casting, and the numerical simulation was carried out. The results indicate that the filling process of the optimized process is stable without “suffocation” phenomenon in the cavity and shrinkage and cavity defect in the strut. The actual casting verification demonstrates that the casting quality meets the ASTM E192 standard.
