NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) ingots were produced by vacuum induction melting/casting unit. The effect of microstructure on the hot (1000°C) and cold (room temperature) rolling workability of cast samples was investigated. Microstructure of the cast samples was related to the type of crucible which used for melting and the average vacuum pressure of VIM furnace. Optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive technology (EDS) methods were used to inspect the origins of observed cracks after rolling processes. The results showed that the formation of both Ti4Ni2O and TiC impurities formed due to inappropriate melting conditions had detrimental effects on workability of the cast specimens and caused failure in the hot and cold rolled alloys. 相似文献
Fine powder of TiC was prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS)method with re-duction stage.The influence of diluent and relative density of the sample on both combustion rate and combus-tion temperature has been studied.The combustion reaction in the system of TiO_2-Mg-C begins at the meltingof Mg.The propagation of combustion wave is related to the gasifying of Mg.The activation energy of theprocess has an approximate linear dependence on the porosity of the sample. 相似文献
For the grain refinement of super pure aluminium and commercial pure aluminium,Al-Ti-C master al-loy is better than Al-Ti alloy.It was shown by scanning electron microscope(SEM)and electron-probe mi-croanalyser(EPMA)that when the amount of titanium added is less than 0.15%,grain refinement of superpure aluminium is due to TiC particles rather than peritectic reaction.In addition,the presence of impurityelements in commercial pure aluminium plays an important role in grain refinement.The process of grain re-finement of aluminium by TiC is discussed in light of the TiC thesis. 相似文献
Since the last decade, lightening of automotive structure was mainly achieved by gauge reduction using ultrahigh strength steels such as dual phase and transformation induced plasticity grades. However, gauge reduction can significantly reduce the stiffness. Limits are today reached for some applications such as chassis/suspension part. Development of steel with improved specific stiffness becomes more and more relevant to go further in weight reduction. Development of steel matrix composites (SMCs) with ceramic reinforcements is a promising solution. With an appropriate selection of the ceramic, eutectic solidification can be achieved. This natural production route guarantees a good cohesion of the steel/reinforcement interface and the control of the main parameters, which provide final properties of the product (size, shape, clustering of reinforcement). Significant fraction of ceramic can be obtained (10–25 vol.-%). Eutectic SMC can be produced with conventional industrial process such as continuous casting and hot strip mill which guarantees high productivity and low cost.
Depuis la dernière décennie, l’allègement des structures automobiles a été réalisé en grande partie par la réduction des épaisseurs au travers l’utilisation d’aciers à très haute résistance tels que les aciers DP (biphasés) et TRIP (à plasticité induite par transformation). Cependant, cette réduction des épaisseurs peut entraîner une baisse de rigidité. Aujourd’hui, les limites ont été atteintes pour certaines applications telles que les composantes châssis et suspension. Le développement d’acier à rigidité spécifique améliorée devient une voie de développement de plus en plus pertinente pour progresser dans la réduction de poids. Le développement de composites à matrice d’acier et renfort céramique est une solution prometteuse. Au travers d’une sélection appropriée de la céramique, on peut obtenir une solidification eutectique. Cette route naturelle de production des aciers garantit une bonne cohésion de l’interface acier/renfort ainsi que la maîtrise des principaux paramètres qui contrôlent les propriétés finales du produit (taille, forme, agglomération du renfort). Des fractions significatives de renfort céramique peuvent être atteintes (10–25% en volume). Les composites à matrice métallique (CMM) eutectique peuvent être élaborés par des procédés industriels conventionnels tels que la coulée continue ou le laminage à chaud qui garantissent une productivité élevée et un faible coût. 相似文献
