Damping Capacity and Creep Resistance of Spray Deposited High Silicon Alloy ZA27

High Al zinc-based alloys are widely used in industry for their good ambient temperature mechanical properties and damping capacity. With the rise of service temperature its damping property increases but mechanical property decreases greatly Here two ways-alloying and spray deposition technique were adopted to improve the service temperature limitation of the alloy ZA27 in an effort to develop a new functional material with high damping capacity and good elevated temperature mechanical property. The effects of addition of 5 wt pct of Si Qn the damping behaviour and elevated temperature creep resistance of alloy ZA27 were investigated. The damping capacity, as well as the relative dynamic modulus, was measured at frequency of 1,4 Hz over the 303 to 573 K. No peak phenomenon was observed for the specimens tested in the temperature range of interest. Experimental results indicated that the damping capacity of the deposited material was 2.8 times higher than that of the cast one at 305 K. The ball hardness values were used to evaluate the creep property and the creep activation energy of the deposited material is 3.9~5.7 kJ per mol higher than that of the as-cast one. The creep rate formuIation was also derived. Finally, the operative damping and creep mechanisms were discussed in the light of the data obtained from its characterization of microstructure, damping capacity and creep reslstance

The effects of trace Sc and Zr on microstructure and internal friction of Zn–Al eutectoid alloy

The damping properties of Zn–22 wt.% Al alloys without and with Sc (0.55 wt.%) and Zr (0.26 wt.%) were investigated. The internal friction of the determined by the microstructure has been measured in terms of logarithmic decrement (δ) using a low frequency inverted torsion pendulum over the temperature region of 10–230 °C. An internal friction peak was separately observed at about 218 °C in the Zn–Al alloy and at about 195 °C in Zn–Al–Sc–Zr alloy. The shift of the δ peak was found to be directly attributed to the precipitation of Al₃(Sc, Zr) phases from the alloy matrix. We consider that the both internal friction peak in the alloy originates from grain boundary (GB) relaxation, but the grain boundary relaxation can also be affected by Al–Sc–Zr intermetallics at the grain boundaries, which will impede grain boundary sliding. In addition, Al–Sc–Zr intermetallics at the grain boundaries can pin grain boundaries, and inhibit the growth of grains in aging, which increases the damping stability of Zn–22 wt.% Al alloy.     

Snoek-type damping behavior of surface oxidation-treated Ti-Mo alloys

The Snoek relaxation damping behavior of surface oxidation-treated Ti-15 wt% Mo and Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys was investigated in this study. When compared to the untreated samples, both alloys exhibited higher damping capacities, higher peak temperatures, and broader peaks after the surface oxidation treatment. The broadening of peak was reflected by a lower activation energy obtained through fitting the peak than that obtained form frequency shift of the peak. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and hardness measurements were used to determine the composition of the dual phase zones and the hardness of each type of treated alloy, respectively. The oxygen distributions in both types of treated alloys were developed based on a diffusion model, and the thicknesses of the apparent oxygen solution zones (AOSZs) were determined to be 120 μm and 210 μm in the Ti-15 wt% Mo and Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys, respectively. The diffusion constants at a high oxidation temperature and at a low damping temperature were obtained for both alloys. The dependence of the damping capacity on the oxygen content in the Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys was much lower than that in the Ti-15 wt% Mo alloys. The contribution to the damping capacity from the AOSZ to the whole sample was estimated based on the law of mixtures. Estimating the contribution to the damping capacity from AOSZ is useful for future applications.     

Effect of substituting cerium-rich mischmetal with lanthanum on high temperature properties of die-cast Mg–Zn–Al–Ca–RE alloys

Mg–Zn–Al–Ca–RE alloys have been found to be promising materials for substituting aluminum alloys used for automatic transmission case applications in the automobile industry. Particularly, Mg–0.5%Zn–6%Al–1%Ca–3%RE (ZAXE05613) alloy exhibits comparable creep resistance as ADC12 die-casting aluminum alloy that is currently used for automatic transmission case applications. Changing the rare earth (RE) content of the alloy from mischmetal to lanthanum gives a further improvement in the creep properties of the alloy. Lanthanum addition results in the crystallization of a large amount of acicular Al₁₁RE₃ (Al₁₁La₃) compound along the grain boundaries as well as across the grain boundaries and this effectively controls grain boundary sliding and dislocation motion in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. As a result, die-cast ZAXLa05613 alloy exhibits a higher creep resistance than that of ZAXE05613 alloy.     

In situ synthesis method and damping characterization of magnesium matrix composites

Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with 8 wt% TiC was in situ synthesized using remelting and dilution technique. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of TiC phase in sintered block and magnesium matrix composites. Uniform distribution of fine TiC particulates in matrix material was obtained through microstructure characterization. The results of damping characterization revealed that damping capacity of materials is independent of frequency, but dependent on strain and temperature. There were damping peak in damping–strain curve, which is due to the foul and tangle of dislocations. There were two damping peaks at damping–temperature curve under respective temperature of 130 °C and 240 °C. The former damping peak of magnesium matrix composites is due to dislocation motion, and the latter is due to interface and grain boundary sliding. Generally, damping capacity of magnesium matrix composites is higher than that of AZ91 magnesium alloy, which is due to the addition of TiC particulates.     

Effect of rare earth elements on deformation behavior of an extruded Mg–10Gd–3Y–0.5Zr alloy during compression

The aim of this study was to identify the influence of rare-earth (RE) elements on the strain hardening behavior in an extruded Mg–10Gd–3Y–0.5Zr magnesium alloy via compression in the extrusion direction at room temperature. The plastic deformation behavior of this RE-containing alloy was characterized by a rapidly decreasing strain hardening rate up to a strain level of about 4% (stage A), followed by a fairly flat linear strain hardening rate over an extended strain range from ∼4% to ∼18% (stage B). Stage C was represented by a decreasing strain hardening rate just before failure. The extent of twinning in this alloy was observed to be considerably less extensive than that in the RE-free extruded Mg alloys. The weaker crystallographic texture, refined grain size, and second-phase particles arising from the addition of RE elements were responsible for the much higher strain hardening rate in stage A due to the increased difficulty on the formation of twins and the slip of dislocations at lower strains, and for the occurrence of quite flat linear strain hardening in stage B at higher strains which was likely related to the dislocation debris and twin debris (or residual twins) stemming from dislocation–twin interactions as well as the interactions between dislocations/twins and second-phase particles and grain boundaries.     

The use of two reactive elements to optimize oxidation performance of alumina-forming alloys

Abstract

Standard reactive element (RE) studies have characterized the behavior of single RE additions such as Y, La or Hf. However, several commercial alumina-forming alloys are “co-doped” with two or more RE additions which allows the total amount of RE dopant in the alloy to be reduced. The oxidation performance of both commercial and laboratory-made co-doped alloys shows better scale adhesion and/or slower scale growth rates than comparable alloys with one RE addition. Characterization of the alumina scales showed no significant change in the grain structure with co-doping; however, as the total RE addition was reduced in co-doped alloys, a smaller volume of RE-rich oxides was observed within the scale. Quantification of the amount of RE ionic segregation on alumina scale grain boundaries formed on single doped and co-doped alloys showed similar amounts of segregation.
