研究了热轧态1Cr16Co5Ni2MoWVNbN马氏体耐热钢经一道次等径角挤压(ECAP)变形 680 ℃×2 h空冷处理后的微观结构和力学性能.结果表明:经ECAP变形后,马氏体板条大部分已碎化成亚晶粒和位错胞,第二相纳米粒子(M23C6)分布更弥散均匀;经随后的退火处理,发生了回复和部分再结晶,位错密度有所降低,形成大量尺寸仅几百纳米的等轴亚晶粒. ECAP变形后材料的屈服强度有很大提高(提高至1400 MPa),但延伸率和静力韧度均大幅度下降(分别降至7.3%和100 MJ/m2);随后的退火处理可恢复其塑性(15.4%),其强度(1044 MPa)和静力韧度(181.6 MJ/m3)均较初始态(922 MPa,160.7 MJ/m3)高.     

Microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing

AZ31 Mg alloy bar was subjected to 8-pass equal-channel angular pressing(ECAP) at 623 K. Microstructure evolution was observed by optical microscopy(OM) on cross section and X-ray diffraction analysis. The room temperature mechanical properties of the ECAP processed specimens were also investigated. A fine-grained structure with an average sub-grain size of 9 μm is obtained after 7 ECAP passes. XRD analysis indicates that after ECAP, in placing of planes and become the dominant directions that are favourable for grain refinement. ECAP processed AZ31 Mg alloy exhibits significant improvement in elongation but decrease in strength. The elongation of the specimen increases continuously up to 2 passes and then remains stable at further passes. This improvement can be related to the evolution of crystallographic texture and the scattered orientation of the basal plane (0001).     

Experimental and numerical investigation on pure aluminum by ECAP

The equal channel angular pressing(ECAP) experiments were carried out with industrial pure aluminum and an in-house mould. The comparison of material grain size before and after ECAP was performed by applying the technique of electron back scattered diffraction(EBSD). The results show that the grains in the material after ECAP are refined and the yield stress and ultimate strength are increased. In order to investigate the deformation mechanism during ECAP and the reason for driving grain size refinement, three-dimensional numerical simulations of the ECAP process were carried out. Based on the Lode parameter analysis, the deformation of the material sample is found very complicated, not just pure shear during extrusion through the angular channel. The simulation confirms that a strong strain gradient in the sample material is imposed by the ECAP.     

Damping behavior and mechanical properties of Mg-Cu-Mn alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing

Equal channel angular pressing(ECAP) was conducted at 250℃for 4 passes to the as-extruded Mg-3%Cu-1%Mn alloy with high strength and high damping capacity.After ECAP processing,the grain of as-extruded alloy is significantly refined to about 4μm,both yield strength and tensile strength of the as-extruded Mg-Cu-Mn alloy are decreased,but the ductility is improved.After the ECAP processing,the damping capacity of Mg-Cu-Mn alloy is decreased at room temperature,while is substantially increased at elevated te...     

Microstructure,Texture Evolution,and Mechanical Properties of ECAP-Processed ZAT522 Magnesium Alloy

In this work,the high-strength Mg-5Zn-2Al-2Sn(ZAT522,in wt%) Mg alloys was obtained at 220℃ and 130℃ by a two-step equal channel angular pressing(ECAP).For each stage,two passes were used.The results showed a remarkable grain refinement after the first stage of ECAP(A2 samples),leading to a fine-grained structure with average size of 1.40 μm.The additional stage(A4 samples) caused further grain refinement to 1.18 μm,and an ultra-fine grain structure(700 nm)appeared in the precipitate-rich region.The grain refinement mechanism for both samples was discussed in detail.To this end,the original extrusion fiber texture evolved into a new strong texture characterized by the base planes tilted toward the ECAP shear plane,with a higher Schmid factor value of 0.34.Compared with the as-extruded alloy,the yield strength of the A2 samples increased from 180 to 245 MPa,which was mainly attributed to the combined effects of grain boundary strengthening and precipitation strengthening.In the case of A4 samples,the dislocation strengthening resulted in a net increase in yield strength to 335 MPa,while the ductility was significantly reduced.     

原始晶粒尺寸对ECAP变形纯钛组织性能的影响

室温下,对923 及1023 K退火1 h所得的不同原始晶粒尺寸的工业纯钛进行ECAP变形。通过TEM、EBSD、室温拉伸和显微硬度测试研究原始晶粒尺寸对ECAP变形纯钛组织性能的影响。探讨纯钛ECAP变形孪生行为和变形机制。结果表明,退火温度越高,原始晶粒尺寸越大。1道次变形后,1023 K退火纯钛的晶粒细化效果更显著。4道次变形后,923 K退火纯钛的组织更细小均匀。随着变形道次的增加,屈服强度不断增大,1道次变形后增幅最大,约为100%,且原始晶粒尺寸越大,强度增幅越大。纯钛ECAP变形机制包括位错滑移和孪生,原始晶粒尺寸越大,孪晶数量越多。     

等通道转角挤压工艺对TA15合金显微硬度的影响

研究近α钛合金TA15经等通道转角挤压工艺(ECAP)加工后的维氏显微硬度及其变化规律。结果表明:TA15合金经ECAP挤压后,显微硬度显著提高,且合金试样外层硬度略高于芯部。合金的显微硬度与组织畸变程度、位错密度、晶粒尺寸以及相组成等密切相关。相变点以下挤压,挤压温度越低,硬度越高;相变点以上挤压,由于挤压后水冷过程中在β相内产生针状马氏体α′,硬度明显高于相变点以下挤压。模具转角越小,显微硬度越高。随挤压次数增加,硬度先增大后保持基本不变,而挤压路径对硬度的影响与挤压次数、挤压后细化效果密切相关。TA15合金经ECAP后退火,显微硬度明显降低。

Comparative study of compressive and fatigue strength of dental implants made of nanocrystalline Ti Hard and microcrystalline Ti G4

Over the last decades, much research has been done to improve the surface quality of dental implants, but there was no change in the materials used to manufacture the implants. The purpose of the present work is to compare the compressive strength and fatigue failure of dental implants made with a new material, nanocrystalline Ti grade 4 fabricated by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) (Ti Hard) with a traditional material, microcrystalline Ti grade 4 (Ti G4). Machined screw‐shaped implants with three different designs (Easy, Torq and Flash) made with the two materials were subjected to static and dynamic compressive loads. Implants made with Ti Hard showed higher static compressive strength (Easy: 889.9 ± 79.4 N, Flash: 588.9 ± 74.7 N, Torq: 498.3 ± 54.6 N) than implants made with TiG4 (Easy: 776.4 ± 74.5 N, Flash: 308.8 ± 15.2 N, Torq: 410.3 ± 25.2 N) and higher fatigue strength for 5 10⁶ cycles (Easy: 400 N, Flash: 280 N, Torq: 260 N) than implants made with TiG4 (Easy: 300 N, Flash: 200 N, Torq: 200 N). The higher fatigue strength of nanocrystalline Ti G4 is attributed to a delay in crack initiation.
