Effects of isothermal treatment parameters on the microstructure of semisolid alloys

Cold-rolled 6061 aluminium alloys are used to prepare semisolid billets by recrystallisation and partial melting. The effects of isothermal treatment parameters on the microstructures were investigated. The results indicated that the high isothermal holding temperature increases the experimental liquid fraction, average grain size and shape factor. A long isothermal holding time also increases the experimental liquid fraction and improves the spheroidisation degree of solid grains, but the average grain size also increases. Moreover, when the isothermal holding time at high temperature is increased, the size of intragranular liquid droplets increases, but their quantity decreases. The optimal isothermal holding temperature and time during semisolid isothermal treatment were 635°C and 5?–?10?min, respectively.     

自保护药芯焊丝明弧堆焊Fe-Cr-C-B-W合金的组织及性能

采用自保护药芯焊丝明弧堆焊技术制备五组不同钨含量的Fe-Cr-C-B-W合金. 借助金相显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、洛氏硬度计和磨损试验机分析堆焊合金的组织及性能. 结果表明，合金的显微组织由马氏体、残余奥氏体、M₇(C,B)₃，M₃(C,B)，Fe₃W₃C和WC组成. 大部分钨元素被迁移到晶界生成了比WC稳定性更好的Fe₃W₃C缺碳复合相，堆焊层中没有典型的初生WC硬质相颗粒生成. 随着钨添加量的增多，共晶硬质相M₇(C,B)₃，M₃(C,B)和Fe₃W₃C随之增多，间距减小，呈连续网状均匀分布. 当钨的添加量为12%时，堆焊层的耐磨性达到最佳.     

高Cu含量Al-Cu-Li-Sc合金中W(Al8Cu4Sc)相的形成机制

采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、电子探针显微分析(EPMA)、X射线衍射(XRD)以及扫描透射电镜(STEM),研究了一种高Cu含量Al-2.35Cu-4.6Li-0.12Sc(at%)合金在均匀化热处理过程中微观组织演变以及W(Al₈Cu₄Sc)相的形成机制。结果表明:铸态时,合金中的主要凝固相为T_B(Al₇Cu₄Li)相,Sc主要以过饱和固溶体的形式存在于基体中;均匀化后,T_B相完全溶解,基体中的Cu含量增加,Sc含量减少,稳定的W相形成。分析表明,由于T_B相与基体界面是非共格的,W相优先在此界面形核将有利于其形核能的降低。W相形核后通过不断消耗其附着的T_B相上的Cu原子和Al基体中的过饱和Sc原子而逐渐长大,直至形成尺寸1 μm左右的稳定粒子。

退火工艺对搅拌摩擦加工镁合金微观组织和显微硬度的影响

采用搅拌摩擦加工(Friction stir processing,FSP)技术对AZ31镁合金进行加工,通过采取不同温度及保温时间的退火工艺,研究了FSP镁合金在退火过程中的微观组织演变过程及硬度变化规律。结果表明,FSP成功制备了细晶AZ31镁合金,其平均晶粒尺寸细化程度达54.9%。当退火温度在200～300 ℃时,加工区(SZ)晶粒尺寸较为稳定,且组织发生不同程度的均匀化和细化;当温度超过300 ℃时,加工区晶粒互相吞噬而快速长大。在退火温度较低、短时间保温时热影响区(HAZ)组织变化不明显,而延长保温时间或者升高温度,HAZ区组织会迅速细化、均匀化;当退火温度超过300 ℃时,再结晶会在短时间内完成,随后晶粒继续长大。在300 ℃下保温60 min为最优退火工艺,可使SZ、HAZ组织分别细化10.9%、35.6%。

Effect of Mo on corrosion behavior of Ni20Cr–xMo alloys in air with NaCl–KCl–CaCl2 vapor at 570°C

The effect of Mo on the corrosion behavior of Ni20Cr–xMo alloys in an oxidizing chlorine-containing atmosphere using air mixed with the salt-vapor mixture of NaCl–KCl–CaCl₂ at 570°C was investigated. The results revealed that the corrosion performance of the Ni20Cr alloys in the oxidizing chlorine atmosphere was improved by Mo addition of up to 3 wt%. The Mo-free alloy formed a potassium chromate during corrosion as a result of the reaction between the Cr₂O₃ scale and KCl vapor. The chromate formation increased the chlorine potential at the scale surface and induced the breakdown of the protective Cr₂O₃ scale, resulting in internal chromium chloride precipitates and a Cr-depleted zone. In contrast, the presence of Mo resulted in the formation of a NiO scale, which did not react with the salt vapors and, therefore, prevented the formation of chromates. The beneficial effect of Mo on the high-temperature chlorination of Ni–Cr alloys in salt-vapor-containing atmospheres was ascribed to the suppression of chlorine generation due to NiO scale formation.

Microstructure and hydrogen absorption/desorption properties of Mg24Y3M (M = Ni,Co, Cu,Al) alloys

Ternary alloys with the nominal composition of Mg₂₄Y₃M (M = Ni, Co, Cu, Al) have been fabricated by using vacuum induction melting method. Their microstructure and phase composition are characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The isothermal hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics are measured by a Sievert's-type apparatus. The dehydrogenation behaviors of the full hydrogenated alloys are also analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. Results show that each and every alloy has a distinct multiphase structure containing the main phase Mg₂₄Y₅ and some amount of Mg. Intermetallic compounds of YCo₂ and Al₂Y are detected in the M = Co and M = Al alloy, while long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase can be also observed in M = Ni and M = Cu alloy. The hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics shows a decreased trend in the following order: (M = Ni) > (M = Al) > (M = Co) > (M = Cu). The M = Ni alloy has the best hydrogen storage performance among the investigated alloys. The dehydrogenation activation energy (E_a) of the M = Ni alloy decreases to 66 kJ/mol, and its decomposition peak temperature is also reduced to 313 °C. Moreover, the p–c–T (pressure-composition isotherms) curves of the studied alloys are also discussed.
