A modified B2O3 containing Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass with ZrO2 as nucleating agent - Crystallization and microstructure studied by XRD and (S)TEM-EDX

Glass-ceramics based on lithium-alumo-silicate glasses are commercially important for a wide range of applications, due to their special properties, like a vanishing thermal expansion. In order to tailor these properties, the composition of the glass and the temperature/time schedule are crucial factors. For the industrial production of most lithium-alumo-silicate glasses, high melting temperatures are required due to the high viscosities of the respective melt compositions. In this study, a simplified lithium-alumo-silicate glass composition with ZrO₂ as nucleating agent, on the basis of the commercially available Robax^® composition, is studied. Adding boron oxide leads to lower viscosities of the glass melt and notably lower melting temperatures may be supplied. The resulting glass is investigated using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. During the crystallization process, phases such as ZrO₂ and β-quartz types are formed. The microstructure of the glass ceramics is notably coarser than that of glass-ceramics which are obtained from lithium-alumo-silicate glasses of standard compositions. EDX-analyses indicate a considerable enrichment of chemical elements in comparatively small areas of the microstructure. Especially boron oxide is found to be enriched in the residual glass of the investigated glass-ceramics.

钢轨交流闪光焊接过程过梁爆破特征分析

以高速摄影技术作为主要研究手段，研究钢轨交流闪光焊接过程过梁爆破特征，并结合热成像系统采集焊接过程温度场，以此为数据基础定量分析了钢轨交流闪光焊接过梁爆破特征. 结果表明,钢轨交流脉动闪光焊接工艺模式下，加速闪光阶段具有几个阶段中最高的闪光频次46.93次/s，脉动闪光阶段具有最低的闪光频次11.07次/s；连续闪光阶段闪光烈度为0.009 2 mm/次，是几个阶段中最强的，脉动阶段的闪光烈度最弱，为0.003 8 mm/次；从闪光加热因子来看，脉动阶段最高，符合了该阶段积累热量的主要目的；加速闪光阶段最低，是由于该阶段为了制造保护气氛产生的气化过梁带走了较多的热量；从闪光均匀度看，闪光最不均匀的阶段是闪平阶段，最均匀的阶段是脉动阶段，这恰恰说明了两待焊端面的微观平行情况在闪平阶段最差、脉动阶段最佳.

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Behavior of Friction-Stir-Welded DP1180 Advanced Ultrahigh Strength Steel

Friction stir lap welding of a DP1180 advanced ultrahigh strength steel was successfully carried out by using three welding tools with different pin lengths. The effects of the welding heat input and material flow on the microstructure evolution of the joints were analyzed in detail. The relationship between pin length and mechanical properties of lap joints was studied. The results showed that the peak temperatures of all joints exceeded A c3, and martensite phases with similar morphologies were formed in the stir zones. These martensite retained good toughness due to the self-tempering effect. The formation of ferrite and tempered martensite was the main reason for the hardness reduction in heat-affected zone. The mechanical properties of the lap joints were determined by loading mode, features of lap interface and the joint defects. When the stir pin was inserted into the lower sheet with a depth of 0.4 mm, the lap joint exhibited the maximum tensile strength of 12.4 kN.     

Microstructure and high-temperature mechanical properties of laser beam welded TC4/TA15 dissimilar titanium alloy joints

The microstructure evolution and high-temperature mechanical properties of laser beam welded TC4/TA15 dissimilar titanium alloy joints under different welding parameters were studied. The results show that the weld fusion zone of TC4/TA15 dissimilar welded joints consists of coarsened β columnar crystals that contain mainly acicular α′ martensite. The heat affected zone is composed of the initial α phase and the transformed β structure, and the width of heat affected zone on the TA15 side is narrower than that on the TC4 side. With increasing temperature, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the TC4/TA15 dissimilar welded joints decrease and the highest plastic deformation is obtained at 800 °C. The tensile strength of the dissimilar joints with different welding parameters and base material satisfies the following relation (from high to low): TA15 base material > dissimilar joints > TC4 base material. The microhardness of a cross-section of the TC4/TA15 dissimilar joints reaches a maximum at the centre of the weld and is reduced globally after heat treatment, but the microhardness distribution is not changed. An elevated temperature tensile fracture of the dissimilar joints is located on the side of the TC4 base material. Necking occurs during the tensile tests and the fracture characteristics are typical when ductility is present in the material.     

Corrosion and wear properties of micro-arc oxidation treated Ti6Al4V alloy prepared by selective electron beam melting

In order to analyze the effect of voltage during micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on corrosion and wear properties of Ti6Al4V (TC4), the MAO technology was employed to treat TC4 samples fabricated by selective electron beam melting (SEBM) at the voltages of 400, 420 and 450 V. The results show that the metastable anatase phase gradually transforms to rutile phase with oxidation time and temperature increasing. The surface morphology of coating contains numerous micropores with uniform size distribution. Cracks and pores over 10 μm are found on MAO-TC4 sample with applied voltage of 450 V. The thickness of MAO coating is positively correlated with the voltage. The corrosion resistance and wear resistance are related to phase composition, micropore size distribution on the surface and film thickness. When the voltage is 420 V, the coating shows the smallest corrosion current density (0.960×10⁻⁷ A/cm²) and the largest resistance (7.17×10⁵ Ω·cm²). Under the same load condition, the coating exhibits larger friction coefficient and wear loss than the TC4 substrate. With the increase of voltage, the wear mechanism of the coating changes from abrasive wear to adhesive wear, and the adhesive wear is intensified at applied voltage of 450 V, with a maximum friction coefficient of 0.821.
