小孔径泡沫铝的制备及压缩性能研究

在常规熔体发泡法基础上,采用添加0.5%Mg(质量分数,下同)以降低表面张力;发泡剂400 ℃,6 h+500℃,1 h氧化预处理以协调发泡剂分散均匀性与发泡过程关系;发泡搅拌60s以破碎初始气泡等措施,成功制备出了平均孔径1.3 mm、孔隙率70.5%、结构均匀的小孔径泡沫铝.泡沫铝及Al-9Si泡沫的压缩性能分析表明,随平均孔径减小,泡沫铝的屈服强度、致密化应变和能量吸收能力均明显提高,泡沫铝压缩性能随孔径减小而提高,与泡沫铝的孔结构因素及孔结构均匀性有关.

粉末冶金法可实现泡沫铝三明治结构面板/芯层的冶金结合,并在制备近终型泡沫铝异型件上优势突出。基于国内研究现状,本文完善了粉末冶金法制备工艺,并优化了泡孔结构。研究发现,芯层采用AlMg4Si8铝合金成分组成,钢质面板经边缘焊接密封处理后,当芯层粉末松装密度为1.12 g/cm_³时,在1500 kN轧制压力、0.06 m/s轧制速度及55％轧制压下率下,对灌满芯层粉末的包覆面板进行450 °C热轧,获得了面板/芯层冶金结合、致密度高的发泡前驱体。另外,当发泡剂TiH₂被低熔点Sn包覆预处理后,在发泡初期分解出的H₂被液态Sn包裹,避免了在固态基体空隙间的扩散,减少了裂纹的产生,发泡前驱体在720 °C发泡300 s后可获得泡孔结构相对均匀、72.7%孔隙率的泡沫铝三明治结构。

Defects in aluminum foam with superfine open-cell structure

The infiltration casting process for producing aluminum foam includes three steps： preparing precursor using NaCI particles, infiltrating molten aluminum and cleaning NaCI precursor. Defects occur during the preparation of aluminum foam with superfine open-cell structure, and influence the pore structure and performance of aluminum foam materials. The types of the defect and their forming mechanisms are analyzed in this paper. The defects include point defects and linear metal defects, and are caused by the defects in salt precursor and the insufficient infiltration of molten aluminum into precursor. With the choice of proper precursor preparation method and infiltration process parameters, the complete aluminum foam with superfine pores could be achieved.

Fatigue of a laterally constrained closed cell aluminum foam

An experimental investigation into the constant stress amplitude compression–compression fatigue behavior of closed-cell aluminum foam, both with and without lateral constraint, was conducted. Results show that while the early stages of strain accumulation due to fatigue loading are independent of constraint, the rapid strain accumulation stage behaviors are sensitive to the constraint. This was ascribed to the noticeable hardening with plastic deformation observed under constraint during quasi-static loading, which in turn reduces the effective maximum stress experienced by the foam specimen during fatigue loading. This was demonstrated through a simple empirical model that connects fatigue strain accumulation without constraint to that under constraint. Complementary X-ray tomography experiments suggest that the fatigue behavior of the foams is relatively less sensitive to morphological defects such as missing walls than the quasi-static mechanical properties such as plastic strength. Evaluation of the energy absorption behavior suggests that the damage that accumulates during fatigue does not affect the energy-absorbing ability of the foam adversely.

Adhesion in sandwiches with aluminum foam core

Fast-moving machine tool assemblies should be light and rigid. Because of the lightweight construction and the dynamic loads these assemblies are very often susceptible to vibrations. Aluminum foam sandwiches are laminates with an aluminum foam core and compact cover sheets. The foam cores possess a high-energy absorption capacity. Machine tool assemblies made of aluminum foam sandwiches offer very high flexural stiffness, together with comparatively light weight. Vibrations generated by machining are damped very well due to the cellular structure of foam. The manufacturing process of foam sandwiches is in general well understood, but there are still some open questions concerning the mechanisms of bonding and adhesion between cover sheets and foam core. This paper tries to give answers to these questions.

Crystallography and refining mechanism of (Ti, B)-contained salts in pure aluminum

It is shown from experiment that the pure B contained salt exhibits little refining effect, while the pure Ti contained salt, especially the salt containing 5Ti/1B, shows obvious refining effect on the pure aluminum. Crystallographic study indicates that Al3Ti particle is a more suitable nucleation site for the aluminum matrix than (Ti, Al)B2 type particles (TiB2, AlB2 and (Ti,Al)B2), because there exist more coherent planes with aluminum matrix in the former. Thermodynamics estimation, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM detection show that the refining mechanism of (Ti, B)-contained refiners is mainly contributed to the heterogeneous nuclei of fine Al3Ti particles dispersed in the melting, which comes from the reaction between the Ti and aluminum. (Al, Ti)B2 type particle shows little or no direct refining effect, but it will reduce the size of Al3Ti since the Al3Ti nucleates and grows along the (Al, Ti)B2 type particle interface.     

温轧细化亚晶7475铝合金板材的力学性能

研究了温轧下过渡元素对7475铝合金板材晶粒细化的影响。经350℃温轧、480℃固溶热处理后,用Zr代替Cr的7475铝合金具有稳定亚晶超细组织;平均亚晶直径接近3μm。结果表明,溶液中的Zr能稳定亚晶是因为温轧中析出了细小的Al3Zr粒子;另一方面,含Cr粒子化合物在温轧之前析出,并且在温轧过程中会变粗大。与传统冷轧7475铝合金板材相比,温轧细化亚晶板材具有独特的性能。固溶处理后的温轧板材,在厚度截面的亚晶组织具有高比例小于150的小角度晶界;温轧T6态合金板材的强度高于传统7475铝合金板材强度10％。温轧铝合金板材最显著的特点是,在与轧制方向呈45°时高Lankford（r）值为3．5,而其平均Lankford（r）值为2．2。高Lankford（r）值有利于组织演变为β-fiber织构,特别是强{011}（211）黄铜部分。同时,温轧板材也具有高的抗应力腐蚀开裂性能（SCC）。根据Kikuchi线和透射电镜分析,温轧T6板材形成的小角度晶界导致无沉淀析出带（PFZs）难以形成,这是导致抗应力腐蚀开裂性能提高的重要因素,其原因是晶界和晶内的电化学性能存在差异。
