Filling and solidification of TiAl melt in centrifugal field

A model was established based on the combination of the equation of continuity, the equation of conservation of momentum and the equation of general energy to describe the filling and solidification of TiAl melt by permanent mold centrifugal casting. The model was solved numerically and the filling and solidification processes in the centrifugal field were discussed. The results indicate that the centrifugal field essentially influences the filling and solidification processes of TiAl melt. The melt will first fill the cavity along the back boundary until it reaches the end. After the end is fully filled, the whole cavity will be filled gradually by the way that free surface of the melt moves towards the entrance, hence the entrance is the last part to be filled. Furthermore, the mechanism by which internal defects can be formed in centrifugally cast TiAl components were interpreted.     

Controlled Nucleation Method:A New Process for Semisolid Metal Forming

Semisolid metal forming requires special feedstock material with a fine-grained and globular structure to achieve thixotropic properties. A number of methods have been developed to produce such feedstock materials. Controlled Nucleation Method (CNM) is a new and simple, cost effective method that has been developed by the University of Queensland. The CNM process does not use the conventional stirring process, instead, it uses solidification conditions to control nucleation, nuclei survival and grain growth, thereby produce fine and globular structures suitable for semisolid forming. No specialised equipment is required. The method can produce both semisolid slurry for rheocasting and semisolid billet for thixocasting. It can be applied to a wide range of alloys and can easily be incorporated into existing metal forming installation. Semisolid slurries/billets of hypoeutectic and hypereutectic aluminium-silicon casting alloys, aluminium wrought alloys and a magnesium alloys have been successfully produced.     

快速凝固Mg94.6Zn4.8Y0.6合金薄带微观结构及显微偏析

采用单辊快速凝固技术制备了Mg94．6 Zn4．8 Y0.6合金快速凝固薄带，并通过扫描电镜的背散射及线扫描研究了快速凝固Mg94．6 Zn4．8 Y0.6合金薄带的显微偏析。结菜表明，由于溶质截流，单辊快速凝固Mg94．6 Zn4．8 Y0.6合金薄带为过饱和单相α—Mg固溶体的蜂窝状组织，Mg、Zn和Y宏观分布比较均匀。但在薄带厚度方向上存在偏析，在晶内也存在显微偏析，偏析形成是由于从辊面到自由面凝固速度的差异及溶质传输和晶格结构造成的，其中Zn元素偏析最大，Y元素次之，Mg元素最小。

Effect of cooling rate on the phase transformation and stability of the mushy zone during the solidification of Waspaloy

Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis(EDAX) were used to study the microstructure,microsegregation, and fluid flow tendency of the superalloy Waspaloy in the mushy zone,which had been solidified at different cooling rates. The investigation was accompanied with the calculation of Rayleigh numbers.It is found that Ti is the main segregating element and the content of Ti is the highest in the final liquid at the cooling rates of 3-6℃/min.The eta phase(η) precipitate present...
