新型Al-Ca-C中间合金对AZ91合金的细化作用
摘要
以Al粉、CaC2粉为原料
采用粉末冶金及原位合成法制备了一种新型Al-Ca-C中间合金用于AZ91合金的晶粒细化
Al-Ca-C中间合金中含有Al4C3、CaAl2、CaAl4相。试验表明
该中间合金对AZ91镁合金有良好的晶粒细化作用。当加入1.0%的Al-Ca-C中间合金时
AZ91合金的晶粒尺寸由原来的120~150μm减小到40~50μm。分析认为镁合金的细化机理为
Al4C3充当了α-Mg的异质形核核心
熔体中Ca与C原子则由于成分过冷进一步促进了晶粒细化。
Abstract
A novel Al-Ca-C master alloy was fabricated with Al powder and CaC2 powder as raw materials by powder metallurgy method combining with in-situ synthesis process to use for grain refinement of Mg-Al based alloys
and Al4C3
CaAl2
CaAl4 phase can be observed in the master alloy prepared.The results reveal that the master alloy can refine AZ91 magnesium alloy effectively.With the addition of 1% Al-Ca-C master alloy(weight percentage)
the grain size of AZ91 alloy is decreased from 120
1
50 μm to 40
5
0 μm.The refining mechanism on grain size in AZ91 magnesium alloy by the Al-Ca-C master alloy was discussed
and it was pointed out that Al4C3 formed could be acted as heterogeneous nucleation substrates for primary Mg
and Ca and C were believed to increase the grain refinement efficiency by the constitutional under-cooling.
