Study on new GMA welding process with duplex current feeding

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) under pure argon shielding gas atmosphere (pure argon-GMAW) is suitable to obtain a high-strength and high toughness welded joint. However, it is difficult that pure argon-GMA welding is applied practically welding structure because of arc instability. In order to perform stable pure argon-GMA welding, duplex current feeding GMAW (DCF-GMAW) has been developed. The DCF-GMAW consists of primary GMA welding current and secondary welding current by constant-current power resource. DFC-GMAW can feed larger current near wire tip. This effect makes that weld penetration depth is deeper, weld bead shape is improved using DCF-GMAW.     

Analysis of ultrasonic welding process of mild steel and 5052 aluminium alloy

Ultrasonic welding of mild steel sheet (SPCC) and aluminium alloy sheet (A5052) was conducted using two different weld tips of a knurled tip (K-tip) and a curved shape tip without knurled edges (C-tip). Behaviours of the weld tip and the welded materials during the weld process were analysed using a high-speed camera observation and an image correlation. The C-tip welding shows a completely different displacement behaviour from the K-tip welding; a relative motion between the tool tip and A5052 in contact with the tip predominantly occurs in the C-tip in contrast to a relative motion between A5052 and SPCC observed in the K-tip. The joint strength using the C-tip was higher than that using the K-tip under the weld conditions in this study. It is demonstrated that the relative motion behaviour in the C-tip causes a macroscopic deformation of A5052 in the vibration direction. This phenomenon promotes growth of a bonded region, resulting in the increase of joint strength. It is surmised that Fe–Al intermetallic layer forms at the weld interface, and the joint strength consequently decreases for the longer weld time condition.     

慢速搅拌摩擦加工对工业纯钛摩擦磨损性能的影响

目的利用慢速搅拌摩擦加工,获得工业纯钛细晶组织,提高其耐磨性能。方法采用慢速搅拌摩擦加工对TA2工业纯钛退火板材进行表面处理,获得细晶结构。使用EBSD技术和显微硬度检测仪对表面微观结构及力学性能进行表征。采用球盘式摩擦磨损试验仪对搅拌摩擦加工前后的样品进行摩擦磨损性能测试,计算磨损率,并使用SEM及EDS分析磨痕特征。结果搅拌摩擦加工处理后,工业纯钛晶粒尺寸显著细化,小角度晶界比例较高,加工硬化程度高。搅拌摩擦加工样品氧化磨损较为严重,粘着磨损程度减小。搅拌摩擦加工后,样品主要磨损方式由粘着磨损和二体磨损转变为氧化磨损和三体磨损。经过180 r/min、25 mm/min处理的工业纯钛磨损率仅为未加工样品的1/4左右。结论慢速搅拌摩擦加工可同时提高工业纯钛表面硬度及耐磨损性能,较小的晶粒尺寸及合适的加工硬化程度可减轻粘着磨损和磨粒磨损。     

基于人工神经网络的超细晶纯钛热变形本构模型研究

对等通道转角挤压(ECAP)制备的超细晶纯钛,在温度为250~450 ℃、应变速率为10_-5~1s_-1的条件下进行热压缩实验。基于真应力和真应变实验数据,分别使用人工神经网络(ANN)和Arrhenius方程建立超细晶纯钛的热变形本构模型,研究其热变形行为。实验结果表明：在变形初期,流变应力随应变的增大而升高,随后趋于平缓,最终流变应力达到一个稳定值。人工神经网络训练和预测结果表明：人工神经网络最佳结构为3×12×1,人工神经网络模型预测的平均相对误差(AARE)为2.1%,相关系数(R)为0.9979,Arrhenius方程模型预测的AARE为11.54%,R为0.9464。即人工神经网络模型能够更加精确的描述超细晶纯钛的本构关系。通过对比不同温度下两种模型的误差,人工神经网络模型在高温条件下具有更好的稳定性。     

Variations in stir zone and thermomechanically affected zone of dissimilar friction stir weld of AA5083 and AA6082 alloys

Variations in composition, microhardness (in the thermomechanically affected zone) and texture in the tool domain of the dissimilar friction stir weld of AA5083-O and AA6082-T6 alloys were investigated. The contents of the major alloying elements in the weld zones were determined using inductively coupled plasma?atomic emission spectroscopy. It was observed that a slight drop in the content of the alloying elements results from the friction stir welding process with the Mg content being the most affected amongst the major alloying elements in the two alloys. By relating the mass fractions of the major alloying elements in the parent metals of both alloys to those of the stir zone, the relative proportions of the two alloys in the stir zone were estimated with the results showing that at least 60% of the materials in the stir zone are from the retreating side of the weld. It was also revealed that the changes in the hardness profile in the thermomechanically affected zone of the retreating side are predominantly influenced by changes in grain size in that domain. Finally, the investigation further revealed that the texture component in the tool shoulder domain is different from the texture component in the tool pin domain.     

低碳铝镇静钢热镀锌表面粗晶缺陷形成原因及对策

低碳铝镇静钢热镀锌板表面易产生"指甲印"缺陷,缺陷主要分布在整卷带钢带中1/3长度位置、带钢表面中间位置。通过金相观察可以确认缺陷处因晶粒明显长大,形成粗晶,晶界处开裂表现为"指甲印"缺陷。低碳铝镇静钢在热轧工序生产时的卷取温度为730℃,这个温度恰好处于A_1温度以上,卷取后带钢仍处在奥氏体和铁素体两相区。在卷取后,带中1/3位置散热较慢,温度保持在A_1线以上,奥氏体晶粒在此温度下继续长大,形成粗大晶粒。在冷轧工序的生产过程中,带钢表面受压应力和切应力作用,粗大的晶粒沿边界开裂,表现为"指甲印"缺陷。通过降低热轧卷取温度,使带钢卷取后的温度处于A_1线以下,带钢组织由铁素体和渗碳体组成,使带钢晶粒在卷取后冷却的过程中不再长大形成粗晶,消除了低碳铝镇静钢热镀锌带钢表面"指甲印"缺陷。

超细晶纯钛的微动疲劳特性

利用自行设计的微动疲劳实验夹具装置研究超细晶纯钛在柱面-平面接触下的微动疲劳特性,分析循环应力对其微动疲劳寿命的影响,通过观察接触区磨损和断口形貌,分析其微动损伤机制。结果表明,当法向载荷不变时,超细晶纯钛的微动疲劳寿命随着循环应力的增加而减小,比常规疲劳寿命更小。微动疲劳裂纹于接触区边缘萌生,磨损区破裂严重且附着有磨粒,在磨粒磨损作用下加速了试样的疲劳失效。断口同时呈现出疲劳形貌和微动形貌,形貌从平滑转向粗糙直至断裂,裂纹由小变大,裂纹扩展速率也逐渐增加,且在裂纹扩展区存在二次裂纹；由于受力不均在裂纹扩展区与断裂区之间存在山脊状形貌。     

Pure and mixed gas permeation study of silica incorporated polyurethane-urea membrane modified by MOCA chain extender

Polyurethane-urea (PUU) nanocomposite membranes have been prepared using various loadings of silica (SiO₂) nanoparticles. A Novel PU was fabricated by a two-step bulk polymerization technique based on polycaprolactone (PCL), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and diamine chain extender, 4,4-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) (MOCA). The FTIR spectra indicated that the extent of phase separation reduces with increasing SiO₂ content. The presence of crystal regions in the soft and hard segments was confirmed by DSC and XRD analyses. The obtained results illustrated a decrement in the gases' permeation in the presence of SiO₂ particles. By increasing the filler content up to 15 wt% and pressure of 8 bar, the gas permeation value of the CO₂, O₂, and N₂ decreased 36%, 54%, and 59%, respectively. However, the permselectivity of the CO₂/N₂ and O₂/N₂ increased considerably, 55% and 13% respectively. On the contrary, by raising the temperature, a dramatic augmentation in the permeability of all gases with a simultaneous reduction in the selectivity values of both gas pairs was revealed. Increasing the pressure led to a decrease in the permeability values of all membranes for O₂ and N₂, whereas the permeability for CO₂ increased with the pressure. Nevertheless, the selectivity values for the pair of gases increased (at a pressure of 10 bar, 1.66 and 1.17 times the neat PU for CO₂/N₂ and O₂/N₂, respectively). Furthermore, the permeability of the CO₂, O₂, and N₂ for the mixed gases was smaller than for pure ones at the same gas upstream pressure. Nonetheless, like the pure gas, the selectivity of both pair gases increased.
