Effect of cerium on microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion properties of Al-Zn-Mg alloy

The effects of trace Ce on the microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Al-Zn-Mg alloy were studied by means of metallographic analysis,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),mechanical tensile test,slow strain rate tensile test,cyclic polarization curve test,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy test and anodic oxidation test.The results show that the addition of trace Ce has little effect on the strength of Al-Zn-Mg alloy,but can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy;The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the alloys decrease significantly with the addition of excessive Ce;the addition of 0.04 wt%Ce can reduce significantly the self-corrosive current density of AlZn-Mg alloy and increase obviously passivation film resistance of the alloy.The stress corrosion sensitivity index decreases from 0.612 to 0.219,which improves the corrosion resistance properties significantly.     

Relationship between crystal growth mode,preferred orientation and magnetostriction of （Tb0.3Dy0.7）Fe1.95 alloys

The relationship between crystal growth mode, preferred orientation and magnetostrictive properties of （Tb0.3Dy0.7）Fe1.95 alloys was investigated at different directional solidification rates. The results showed that preferred orientation had a strong influence on the characteristics of （Tb0.3Dy0.7）Fe1.95 alloys. At lower solidification rates, the sample with 〈110〉 preferred orientation showed larger low-field magnetostriction and apparent compressive stress effect. The excessive solidification rate resulted in failure of preferred orientation and a poor magnetostrictive performance. With an increase in solidification rates, the crystal growth modes changed gradually from cellular and primary dendrite morphology to developed dendritic morphology. In addition, domain configurations were observed using magnetic force microscopy, and the change of magnetostrictive properties was interpreted in terms of revealing the domain configurations.     

Influence of Surface Roughness of Galvanized Steel Sheet on Self-lubricated Coating

Three different thicknesses of self-lubricated coatings were prepared on galvanized steel sheets with different surface roughness(Ra).Performances of the coatings were evaluated by various laboratory tests.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM),atomic force microscope(AFM),neutral salt spraying test(NSST),reciprocating friction and wear test were taken in order to characterize the coatings.Results show that the self-lubricated coating has good corrosion resistance and lubricating property.In 0.857-1.629μm of Ravalue,the relationship between friction coefficients of the self-lubricated steel sheets and the surface roughness of the galvanized steel sheets likes a parabolic curve,and has a peak value of friction coefficient in certain range of Ra.Affected by the hereditary surface topography of the galvanized steel sheet,dents on the surface of self-lubricated steel become deeper and larger with the increase of the surface roughness of the galvanized steel sheets.The influence of the surface roughness of the galvanized steel sheet on the corrosion resistance of the self-lubricated coating steel is similar to that on friction coefficient of self-lubricated coatings,like a parabolic curve.     

Effects of Alloy Element and Microstructure on Corrosion Resistant Property of Deposited Metals of Weathering Steel

Alloy element and microstructure are key factors that dominate mechanical and corrosion resistant properties of weathering steel.The effect of Mo on microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion resistant property of depos-ited metal was investigated.Experimental results show that with the increase of Mo content in deposited metals,the phase transformation temperature decreases,and the ferrite zone in CCT diagram moves rightward,resulting in en-larged bainite zone and reduced ferrite and pearlite zone.The addition of 0?24 mass% Mo in deposited metal results in the increase of tensile strength,more M-A constituent and less high angle grain which reduce the low temperature toughness.It is found that Mo can raise the weathering resistance of deposited metal in industrial atmosphere.Analy-sis indicates that Mo may enrich in the inner rust layer,produce MoO3 ,enhance the formation of compact rust film and impede the anode dissolution reaction.Granular bainite in deposited metals displays better corrosion resistance than acicular ferrite during the initial corrosion stage,but its long-term influence on the corrosion resistance is limited.     

抗晶间腐蚀奥氏体不锈钢的晶界工程

Sensitization by chromium depletion due to chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries in austenitic stainless steels can not be prevented perfectly only by previous conventional techniques, such as reduction of carbon content, stabilization-treatment, local solution-heat-treatment, etc. Recent studies on grain boundary structure have revealed that the sensitization depends strongly on grain boundary character and atomic structure, and that low energy grain boundaries such a~ coincidence-site-lattice (CSL) boundaries have strong resistance to intergranular corrosion. The concept of grain boundary design and control has been developed as grain boundary engineering (GBE). GBEed materials are characterized by high frequencies of CSL boundaries which are resistant to intergranular deterioration of materials, such as intergranular corrosion. A thermomechanical treatment was tried to improve the resistance to the sensitization by GBE. A type 304 austenitic stainless steel was cold-rolled and solution-heat-treated, and then sensitization-heat-treated. The grain boundary character distribution was examined by orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The intergranular corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) and ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid tests. The sensitivity to intergranular corrosion was reduced by the thermomechanical treatment and indicated a minimum at a small roll-reduction The frequency of CSL boundaries indicated a maximum at the small reduction. The ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test showed much smaller corrosion rate in the thermomechanical-treated specimen than in the base material. A high density of annealing twins were observed in the thermomechanical-treated specimen. The results suggdst that the therrmomechanical treatment can introduce low energy segments in the grain boundary network by annealing twins and can arrest the percolation of intergranular corrosion from the surface. The effects of carbon content and other minor elements on optimization in grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) and thermomechanical parameters were also examined during GBE.     

Influence of Cerium on Corrosion of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

Effect of cerium addition on corrosion resistance of AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated using the static weight loss and polarization curve method as well as metallographical observation. The results indicate that a small amount of cerium （0.2% - 0.8%） in AZ91 magnesium alloy can significantly reduce the corrosion rate, enhance the electrode voltage and lower corrosion current density in 3.5%NaCl aqueous solution, and AZ91-0.8% Ce alloy has better corrosion resistant performance. The reason for increasing corrosion resistance is attributed to the addition of Ce, refining the α-Mg grain, reducing the segregation of element Al, and improving the morphologies of β-Mg17 Al12 phases.     

Influence of Chromium on Corrosion Behavior of Low-alloy Steel in Cargo Oil Tank O2-CO2-SO2-H2S Wet Gas Environment

As international maritime organization(IMO)draft 289 was adopted to develop a low-alloy anti-corrosion steel for the deck of cargo oil tank and to understand corrosion mechanism,corrosion behavior of a low-alloy steel with chromium contents was studied in O2-CO2-SO2-H2 S wet gas environment.Corrosion rate was measured,and the microstructure and morphology of corrosion product film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The phase and chemical composition of the corrosion product film were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),respectively.The effect of misorientation distribution on corrosion resistance of steel was evaluated by electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).The results showed that corrosion rate decreased with increasing chromium content in the low-alloy steel,and the corrosion type was general corrosion.The phenomenon of chromium enrichment was found in corrosion product film consisting ofα-FeOOH,γ-FeOOH,sulphur,FeS2 and Fe1-xS.The increase of chromium content decreases the amount of high-angle grain boundaries,thus resulting in the improvement of corrosion resistance.     

Surface Modification With Zinc and Zn-Ni Alloy Compositionally Modulated Multilayer Coatings

Zinc and Zn-Ni alloy compositionally modulated multilayer （CMM） coatings were electrodeposited on to a steel substrate by the successive deposition of zinc and Zn-Ni alloy sublayers from dual baths. The coated samples were evaluated in terms of the surface appearance, surface and cross-sectional morphologies, as well as corrosion resistance. The microstructural characteristics that were examined using the field emission gun scanning electron microscopy （FEGSEM） confirmed the layered structure, grain refinement of the zinc and Zn-Ni alloy CMM coatings, and revealed the existence of microcracks caused by the internal stress in the thick Zn-Ni alloy sublayers. The corrosion resistance that was evaluated by means of the salt spray test shows that the zinc and Zn-Ni alloy CMM coatings were more corrosion-resistant than the monolithic coatings of zinc or Zn-Ni alloy of the same thickness. The possible reasons for the better protective performance of Zn-Ni/Zn CMM coatings were given on the basis of the analysis on the micrographic features of zinc and Zn-Ni alloy CMM eoatings after the corrosion test. A probable corrosion mechanism of zinc and Zn-Ni alloy CMM coatings was also proposed.     

Effect of RE Elements on the Morphology of Carbides and the Impact Fatigue Properties of the Low Cr White Cast Iron

An apparatus of zone melting unidirectional solidification with a steep temperature gradient andan impact fatigue tester were used.The effect of RE elements on the morphology of carbides and the impactfatigue properties of the low Cr white cast iron were investigated.Experimental results showed that the modi-fying effect of RE elements was remarkable on the M3C carbides.With the addition of RE elements in thelow Cr iron,a lot of plate-like carbides were transformed into lath-like and rod-like ones.The higher thecontent of RE elements was,the more was the fraction of the lath-like and rod-like carbides.In the low Crwhite cast iron,the RE modifying agent can efficiently increase the impact fatigue resistance and decrease thecrack growth rate and delay the time of incipient cracking.With the increase of the content of RE elements inthe low Cr cast iron,the impact fatigue resistance increased greatly and the crack growth rate decreased rap-idly.     

Effect of Aging Temperature on Erosion-Corrosion Behavior of 17-4PH Stainless Steels in Dilute Sulphuric Acid Slurry

The effect of aging temperature on erosion corrosion （E-C） behavior of 17-4PH stainless steels in dilute sulphuric acid slurry containing solid particles was studied by using self-made rotating E-C apparatus. The effect of impact velocity on EC behavior of 17 4PH steels at different aging temperatures was analyzed. Surface micrographs of the specimens after E C test were observed by using scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The results showed that under the condition of the same solution heat treatment, when aging temperature ranged from 400 ℃ to 610℃, the hardness reached the highest value near the temperature 460℃. The characteristics of E-C for 17-4PH stainless steels at different aging temperatures were as follows： pure erosion （wear） was dominant, corrosion was subordinate and at the same time corrosion promoted erosion. The effect of aging temperature on E-C rate of 17-4PH steels was not significant at low impact velocity, but it was found that E-C resistance of 17-4PH steels aged near 460℃ was the most excellent due to the best precipitation strengthening effect of fine and dispersed e-Cu phase. With a prerequisite of appropriate corrosion resistance, the precipitation hardening could significantly improve the E-C resistance of the materials.

Stress corrosion cracking of superplastically formed 7475 aluminum alloy

The effects of biaxial superplastic deformation and postforming heat treatment upon the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of a fine-grained 7475Al alloy plate have been investigated. For all postforming tempered conditions, increasing the extent of superplastic deformation, which created more cavitations, would decrease the mechanical properties, the SCC resistance, and the corrosion resistance. The influence of cavitation on the decay of elongation of the superplastically formed workpieces is larger than that on the decay of its strength. Post-forming tempered by retrogression and reaging (RRA) treatment could effectively improve the SCC resistance of workpieces in postforming T6 temper while not sacrificing the strength. However, the benefit of improving the SCC resistance by means of the postforming RRA temper was decreased with increasing the extent of superplastic deformation, because the SCC susceptibility increased as the extent of superplastic deformation increased for each postforming tempered condition. The cavitation led to more anodic corrosion potential and pitting potential and to an increase in both corrosion current density and passive current density, which would increase the SCC susceptibility.

The effect of microstructure on the hot salt stress corrosion susceptibility of titanium alloys

It was the purpose of this study to identify what metallurgical processes could be applied to commercial structural titanium alloys to increase the hot salt stress corrosion (HSSC) threshold stress and therefore increase their range of application. Toward this purpose Ti-6A1 and Ti-6A1-4V were evaluated as a function of microstructural variables. Specifically, it was shown that both increasing amounts of cold work and increasing grain size decrease HSSC resistance of Ti-6A1. Also, for Ti-6A1-4V it was shown that preferred orientation can have a profound effect on the HSSC resistance. Crack initiation time, crack growth rate, and stress rupture life were evaluated in Ti-6A1-4V as a function of applied stress at 727 K. These results indicate that HSSC cracking can be described by a critical resolved shear stress criterion, and that increased high temperature creep resistance and decreased room temperature notch rupture strength combine to increase HSSC susceptibility and embrittlement.
