摘要:The Cu-10 Sn friction material was fabricated by powder metallurgy, and the influence of CoCrFeNiAl content on the structure and friction and wear properties of the composites was explored. The results indicate that different contents CoCrFeNiAl particles different contents with can coexist stably with Cu-10 Sn matrix particles, which presents mechanical bonding and metallurgical bonding. The hardness of the material without CoCrFeNiAl is the minimum, and both the friction coefficient and wear rate are greater with poor wear performance. As the content of CoCrFeNiAl increases, the hardness of the composites is increased greatly, and the friction coefficient and wear rate are firstly decreased and then increased. When the content of CoCrFeNiAl is 10% to 20%, the wear rate continues to decrease, and the friction coefficient is decreased significantly. When CoCrFeNiAl content reaches 30%, the wear rate of the composites is decreased to the minimum, and the friction coefficient is raised again, where the composites exhibit the highest hardness and the optimal wear performance, which is mainly attributed to the synergy between the added phase particles and the matrix.
摘要:The effects of Y addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of(CoCrFeMnNi) 100-xYx(x=0、1、2、3、4) high entropy alloys were investigated. The results indicate that the second phase of HCP structure rich in Y and Ni is formed with the increase of x to 2, presenting a long strip shape. When x=4, the HCP phase is distributed in a rectangular network shape, with the black Y-rich intermetallic compounds distributed. With the increase of Y content, the volume fraction of the second phase is increased gradually. The addition of Y promotes the atomic size difference and enthalpy-entropy ratio of the alloy, contributing to the formation of the second phase. The mechanical properties reveal that the compressive strength and microhardness are gradually increased with the increase of Y content. The yield strength and microhardness of(CoCrFeMnNi)96Y4 alloy are 521 MPa and 321.6 HV, which are increased by 178.6% and 100.6%, respectively, compared with those of the matrix CoCrFeMnNi alloy(187 MPa, 160.3 HV). The enhancement of the strength and hardness of the alloys is mainly attributed to the increase of the volume fraction of the second phase in the entropy alloys.
摘要:(NbMoTiVSi0.2)100-xBx refractory high entropy alloy ingots with different addition of boron were prepared, and the phase constitution, microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated. The results indicate that phase constitution of alloys remains stable after boron addition, which consists of BCC and silicide phase, and eutectic structure composed of the both phases are formed on the grain boundaries. The dendrite structure and eutectic structure of alloys are refined with boron content increasing, and the morphologies are converted from dendrite structure to near equiaxed grains. The yield strength of alloys is increased from 1 766 MPa to 2 076 MPa, the ultimate strength is increased from 2 091 MPa to 2 270 MPa, and the fracture strain is reduced from 16.47% to 13.33%. The strength of alloy is synergistically improved by grain refinement strengthening and solid solution strengthening, while plasticity improvement induced by grain refinement effect is unable to offset the plasticity decrease caused by the solid solution strengthening effect, therefore the plasticity is decreased with increase of boron.

摘要:TiZrNbSnMo high entropy memory alloys were prepared by vacuum arc melting, and the effects of alloy composition on the microstructure, mechanical properties and superelasticity were investigated by XRD, SEM and cyclic compression. The results indicate that with the gradual substitution of Nb in the composition for Sn, the microstructure, mechanical properties and superelasticity of high entropy memory alloy are changed significantly. The main structure of Ti35Zr35Nb15Sn10Mo5 alloy is martensite α″, which exhibits higher strength, hardness and poor plasticity at room temperature. The maximum recoverable strain is 4.5%, and the elastic recovery accounts for about 80%. The main microstructure of Ti35Zr35Nb17.5Sn7.5Mo5 alloy is β-Ti, which exhibits low strength, hardness and desirable plasticity at room temperature. The maximum recoverable strain is 2.7%, and the superelasticity recovery accounts for about 30%. Ti35Zr35Nb20Sn5Mo5 alloy is composed of a mixed structure of fine martensite α″ and β-Ti, which exhibits the optimal superelasticity at room temperature. The maximum recoverable strain reaches 5%, and the superelasticity strain accounts for about 40%.
摘要:Round ingot of TA31 alloy was melted by electron beam cold hearth furnace, and the chemical composition as well as the melting process were analyzed comparatively. The results indicate that the stability of axial composition in the ingot is significantly affected by melting speed. The axial Al content in the ingot is increased with the increase of melting speed, and vice versa. The reduction of melting speed fluctuation can improve the stability of Al content in ingot, and the distribution of Nb, Zr and Mo is uniform along the axial and radial direction. The test results and kinetic analysis reveal that the volatilization amount of Nb, Zr and Mo can be negligible. The volatilization of Ti and Al results in a slight increase of percentage content.
摘要:The fatigue damage recovery of 20 low carbon steel by pulse current as well as the mechanism were investigated. A pulse current was applied on the pre-fatigued specimens with 60% of the original fatigue life cycles to recover the fatigue damage, and the total fatigue life of the pulse current treated specimens is increased by 41% compared with the original ones. The effects of pulse current treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the specimens were analyzed. The results reveal that absence of strengthing is observed in 20 low carbon steel under the action of pulse current, indicating that the prolongation of fatigue life is attributed to the recovery effect of pulse current. TEM observation reveals that after the pulse current treatment, the wall-like dislocation structure observed in ferrite of the fatigue specimens is partially disappeared, and the dislocation is more evenly distributed. Moreover, pulse current treatment may be an effective way to recover the micro-defects of fatigue-damaged materials, extending the service life of the materials.
摘要:The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Si-Zn-Mg alloys with different Zn contents were investigated by metallographic microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), tensile testing machine and microhardness tester. The effects of Zn contents on aging precipitation behavior of Mg2Si phase in Al-Si-Mg alloy were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), combined with Avrami-Johnson-Mehl(AJM) equation. The results indicate that peak aging strength and hardness of Al-Si-Zn-Mg alloys are gradually increased with the increase of Zn contents, while elongation is decreased and peak aging time is gradually shortened correspondingly. Zn is evenly distributed in the alloy, and addition of Zn has little effect on the microstructure, which, however, improves the precipitation activation energy of Mg-Si solute atomic clusters and G.P. zone by hindering the migration of Mg atoms to Si clusters, and accelerates the dissolution of Mg-Si solute atomic clusters and G.P. zone during the subsequent heating process, resulting in the dimension reduction of Mg-Si clusters. Furthermore, the lattice distortion energy of the matrix is increased, and the migration of Mg and Si atoms from the matrix to form more Mg-Si and Mg-Zn-Si clusters is promoted after Zn addition, which increase the nucleation particles of the β″ phase, promoting the precipitation of β″ phase and aging response rate.

摘要:The semi-solid slurry of Al-27 Si-4.5 Cu-0.6 Mg alloy was prepared by a composite process of serpentine pouring channel(SPC) and Sr-modifier. The rheological die-casting was carried out. The effects of heat treatment on the properties and microstructure of the rheological die-casting samples with different Sr addition were investigated. The results show that primary Si and modified eutectic Si are fully refined by the composite process, and the rounded granular eutectic Si and primary Si with edges and angles passivated can be obtained after T6 treatment. The better the modification effect before heat treatment, the more rounded and finer the morphology of the obtained eutectic Si after heat treatment. Heat treatment further improves the tensile strength of semi-solid rheological die-casting samples of Al-27 Si-4.5 Cu-0.6 Mg alloy prepared by composite treatment, and the maximum tensile strength appears at the condition of 0.02% Sr content before and after heat treatment, which are 228.8 MPa and 254.7 MPa, respectively.

摘要:Copper-matrix/graphite(pure graphite/nickel-coated graphite) composites were prepared by sintering specimen in an atmosphere of N2 and H2 gas mixture. The effects of nickel coating on tribological, corrosive behavior and resistivity, hardness of the copper-matrix/graphite composites were investigated. The results indicate that nickel coating can significantly improve the interface bonding strength between copper-matrix and graphite. During the process of friction, graphite particles are difficult to be stripped out of the wear surface, so as to form a continuous and complete solid lubrication film, improving the wear reduction and wear resistance of the composites. Compared with that of pure graphite copper matrix composites, the wear rate of nickel-coated graphite composites can be reduced by about 70% under the same test conditions, which is increased gently with the increase of wear pressure. In addition, the existence of nickel in the coating can also enhance the hardness and corrosion resistance of the composites.
摘要:The influence of oxidation treatment on the thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and strength of the high volume fraction silicon carbide particle reinforced ZL101 aluminum matrix composites was investigated by thermal property test, DSC analysis and SEM. The results indicate that the microstructure of SiCp/ZL101 composites prepared by pressure infiltration method is dense and the reinforced particles are uniformly dispersed in aluminum matrix. The volume fraction of SiC particles in raw and oxidized SiCp/ZL101 composites reach 56.2% and 63.8%, respectively. The O element in the primary SiCp/ZL101 composites is concentrated in the local area of the aluminum matrix, which is mainly distributed around the SiCp particles in the oxidized one. Particle oxidation treatment can improve the thermal conductivity(increased by 15.6%), and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient(decreased by 14.4%) of SiCp/ZL101 composites, which, however, can also sharply reduce the conductivity and strength of SiCp/ZL101 composites, decreased by 60.7% and 16.2%, respectively. The failure modes of SiCp/ZL101 aluminum matrix composites under bending are dominated by cleavage fracture of SiCp and ductile fracture of aluminum matrix.
摘要:The modification effect of ZL115 aluminum alloy with different Sb contents at different holding time was investigated by rapid thermal analysis technology. The results indicate that the growth temperature(Teg) of the eutectic silicon is decreased by Sb addition of 0.1%~0.3%, which has 3.6~8.3 ℃ difference before modification, and a good corresponding relationship with the modification effect can be obtained. Desirable modification effect and the optimal mechanical properties of the ZL115 alloy were obtained with addition of 0.3%Sb, where the as-cast tensile strength and elongation are increased, reaching 208 MPa and 5.65%, respectively. The length of the eutectic silicon can be shortened with increasing in the holding time, while the longer holding time leads to the excessive Mg3Sb2 intermetallic, reducing the mechanical properties. Therefore, the desirable holding time is 60~90 min. The excessive eutectic silicon modification occurs when the Sb content exceeds 0.3%, and Mg3Sb2is generated under fast cooling rate.
摘要:The multi-step superplasticity tests of 2060 Al-Li alloy were carried out by using SANS CMT4104 tensile testing machine.The microstructure evolution and superplasticity properties of 2060 Al-Li alloy were investigated at deformation temperature of 425~500℃and prestrain of 10%to 30%.The results indicate that the elongation of the multi-step tensile specimen is increased with the increase of temperature,and increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of prestrain,which is greater than that of the single-step tensile specimen in the range of 450~500 ℃.The superplasticity is desirable when the deformation temperature is 500 ℃ and the prestrain is 20%,and the elongation reaches 211%.The interstitial insulation during multi-step tensile process leads to the decrease of flow stress,of which the degree is increased with the increase of the prestrain,and increased firstly and decreased with the increase of temperature.The peak stress at the second step tensile process is decreased significantly compared to that at single-step tensile process.The microstructure of the alloy reveals that a large number of dispersive phases appear at 425 ℃,and then dissolved into the matrix at 450 ℃ with zigzagshaped grain boundary.During 475℃to 500℃,the triangular second phase emerges in the matrix with a large number of dynamic recrystallized grains.
摘要:In order to verify the MIG welding process of A356 casting and 6082 profiles, experiments were carried out to provide experimental data. Firstly, tensile and three-point bending experiments were conducted to analyze the mechanical properties and bending resistance of welding under different processes. Meanwhile, the relationship between the welding current and welding-microporosity was obtained by tensile fracture analysis. Secondly, external and internal X-ray inspection were adopted to analyze the surface cracks and internal defects. Finally, the relationship between the welding current and the penetration were concluded by observing the penetration, providing quantitative data for the welding process. When the welding currents were 140, 150 and 160 A, respectively, the corresponding penetration depths were 0.79, 1.47 and 1.85 mm.
摘要:The hot compression behavior of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with deformation temperature of 650~850 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001~1 s-1 was carried out on Gleeble-3800 thermal simulation testing machine. The high-temperature constitutive model of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy was constructed based on the stress-strain curves combined with the experimental data. The critical conditions of dynamic recrystallization were determined, and the volume fraction model was established based on Avrami equation.The results indicate that the constitutive model is well matched with the experimental results with the average relative error of 5.06%. The variation curve of dynamic recrystallization volume fraction with true strain is S-shaped, proving that the higher temperature and lower strain rate are favorable to the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization behavior.
摘要:The SAE1004 steel sheet with thickness of 0.7 mm and AA6111-T4 aluminum sheet with thickness of 0.1 mm were riveted with nail-free, and the joint quality was tested by the bottom thickness and resistance increment testing methods. The results indicate that the bottom thickness detection method of joint quality can reflect the degree of material deformation, which is insensitive to the negative effects induced by the pre-strain of the aluminum plate yet. The resistance of the joint can also reflect the degree of the material deformation, however, there exists a clearer correspondence between the increment of joint resistance and the bonding strength. When the bonding strength is decreased due to the increment of deformation resistance, the increment of resistance is also decreased due to the increment of the initial resistance. Therefore, the resistance increment method of joints is a appropriate reference value in the quality inspection of nailless riveted joints.
摘要:In order to utilize the scale model to predict the forming process and internal quality of large thin-walled parts, a scale model was designed based on similarity theory and the effectiveness was verified. Numerical simulation and investment casting experiments were conducted to investigate the filling, solidification, hot tendency and internal quality of large thin-walled superalloy parts. The results indicate that the scale model can fully reflect the forming process and internal quality of the original large thin-walled superalloy parts, where the filling and solidification properties of the smooth thin wall connected by steel bar and seamless gate are identical. Moreover, the filling and solidification velocity is higher than that of the convex, while the trend in common. Therefore, it is proved that the combination of similarity theory, numerical simulation and actual experiment can effectively guide the production of large thin-walled superalloy parts, effectively reducing the development costs and improving yield rate.

摘要:In view of the deformation and deflection of the long core-pulling needle in the deep and high pressure oil channel hole of the gearbox side cover in die casting process, the effects of the die casting process, mold structure and the material of the core-pulling needle on the deformation and deflection were analyzed.The results show that the casting scheme and the selection of key process parameters are very important to reduce the deformation and deflection of the long core-pulling needle. The positioning stability of long core-pulling needle, the piecewise matching structure of needle and needle sleeve, and the high-pressure cooling structure can all reduce the possibility of deformation and deflection of long core-pulling needle. The long core-pulling needle which produced by high strength W360 material can reduce the possibility of deformation and deflection of the long core-pulling needle.
