Assessment of the austemperability of high-silicon cast steels through Jominy hardenability tests

The austemperability of seven high silicon cast steels with different alloy contents was characteri sed. The maximum round bar diameter that can be fully austempered changed from about 10?mm for an unalloyed steel to more than 70?mm for a low-alloy steel. The austemperability was calculated by applying a procedure based on a standard Jominy test and the characterisation of the microstructure along the Jominy sample. The method, which was validated experimentally, creates a relatively simple procedure to measure austemperability. Processing factors such as the ability of the salt bath to extract heat and the austempering temperature are accounted for the method. The metallographic study revealed the influence of microsegregation on hardenability, which is particularly important for cast steels.     

Role of Ru on the Microstructural Evolution During Long-Term Aging of Ni-Based Single Crystal Superalloys

Two experimental alloys containing different contents of Ru were investigated to study the effect of Ru on the microstructural evolution during long-term thermal exposure. The increase in Ru promoted the formation of cubical, tiny, and even γ′ phase after full heat treatment. Moreover, the samples after full heat treatment were exposed at 1100 °C for different time. Based on the classical model by Lifshitz, Slyozov, and Wagner, the coarsening of γ′ phase of the alloy containing 2.5 and 3.5 wt.% Ru during the long-term aging was controlled by the interface reaction and diffusion, respectively. The γ/γ′ lattice misfit was more negative with the increment of Ru addition, which induced the formation of stable rafted γ′ phase in the alloy containing 3.5 wt.% Ru at the initiation of long-term aging. Besides, the increase in Ru reduced the diffusion coefficient, which could restrain the γ′ phase coarsening. The lower γ/γ′ lattice misfit of the alloy containing 2.5 wt.% Ru promoted the interface reaction, which induced the rapid coarsening of γ′ phase. Therefore, the increase in Ru improved the microstructural stability of the alloys. On the other hand, the raise of Ru induced “reverse partitioning” behavior, which was effective in suppressing the emergence of the topologically close-packed phase (TCP phase). The TCP phase occasionally occurred in the alloy containing 2.5 wt.% Ru, which was attributed to the high temperature and the supersaturation of the γ matrix. Moreover, the TCP phase was determined as μ phase, which had a high concentration of Co, Re, Mo, and W. A sketch map describing the evolution of the TCP phase was also constructed.     

Manufacturing of nano mullite-silicon carbide filters by in situ reaction bonding

In the present study, the effect of silica nanoparticles on the formation of nano-mullite phase for use in the manufacture of silicon carbide based ceramic foam filters has been investigated. Polyurethane foam filters were impregnated with nanosilica particles by slip casting. In this method, the effect of different percentages of nanosilica particles in the slurry on compressive strength, density and porosity of ceramic foam filters was investigated. The effect of silica nanoparticles on viscosity of slurry was studied using rheometric test. So, sample S₁₅ was selected to proceed. For thermal treatment of ceramic foams, different sintering temperatures were investigated and the best temperature was reported at 1250 °C. Compressive strength results showed that with increasing nano-silica content, CCS increased. XRD results from the samples showed that the nano-mullite phase was formed at 1250 °C along with silicon carbide and alumina phases. Scanning electron microscope images (SEM) showed that the mullite phase was formed in nano-dimensions in ceramic foam bodies. The formation of mullite phase in the microstructure of the filters is one of the factors of strengthening and increased refractory characteristics. EDS analysis by the scanning electron microscopy of the filter which passed ductile iron melt showed that cast iron inclusions and impurities were mostly consisted from FeO, MnO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO and CO, which were trapped inside the ceramic filter.

增强体形貌对高熵合金增强铸铝合金组织及性能的影响

本文采用机械合金化工艺制备了两种不同形貌特征的高熵合金（Al0.25Cu0.75FeCoNi）颗粒,一种为椭球状颗粒（平均粒径为53μm,无过程控制剂）;另一种为片状颗粒（平均粒径15μm,有过程控制剂）。采用挤压铸造工艺制备了低体积分数（颗粒含量为5 vol.%）的高熵合金颗粒增强铸造铝合金材料,重点分析了不同增强相形貌对复合材料的组织和力学性能的影响规律。结果表明：在复合材料预制块制备过程中,椭球状高熵合金粉体与铝粉容易混合均匀,而片状高熵合金粉体之间易发生团聚。椭球状颗粒与片状颗粒增强的复合材料的抗拉强度分别达到162MPa和174MPa,比铸铝合金实验基体分别提升了12.5%和 20.8%,但伸长率较铸铝合金基体却发生了明显下降。断口分析表明,椭球状颗粒增强复合材料的断裂以基体的撕裂为主;而片状颗粒增强复合材料则以团聚颗粒的破裂为主。

一种镍基单晶高温合金中碳化物热稳定性研究

利用SEM、TEM研究了一种镍基单晶高温合金中碳化物在950℃时效不同时间的退化规律。固溶处理过程中形成的MC碳化物随时效时间的增加而逐渐退化为M6 C和M23 C6碳化物。同时,由于在时效处理过程中Re元素进入M6 C碳化物中,破坏了其结构稳定性,促使M6 C碳化物也可以退化为M23 C6碳化物。至时效3000 h时,没有观察到碳化物退化的逆反应。本研究可以为高温合金高温下服役的稳定性提供实验参考。
