Microstructural evolution of fine-grained ZA27 alloy during partial remelting

The microstructural evolution process of fined-grained ZA27 alloy during partial remelting has been investigated.The relationship between the as-cast and semi-solid microstructures has been discussed in particular.The results indicate that a semi-solid microstructure with small and spheroidal primary particles can be obtained when the Z.A27 alloy is partially remelted.The microstructural evolution can be divided into four stages,the initial coarsening of the dendrites due to coalescence of dendrite arms,structural separation resulted from the melting of residual interdendritic eutectic,spheroidization due to the partial melting of solid particles and final coarsening attributed to the coalescence and Ostwald ripening.An equiaxed dendrite in the as-cast microstructure may evolve into one spheroidal particle in the semi-solid microsturucture after being partially remelted.The more equiaxed the dendrites in an as-cast microstructure are,the more spheroidal the solid particles in the semi-solid microstructure will be.Finer primary particles could be obtained if the alloy with finer as-cast microstructure was partially remelted.However,due to the coalescence effect,their sizes cannot be reduced further if the refined as-cast microstructure reached a certain extent.     

Microstructure evolution of semi-solid 2024 alloy during two-step reheating process

A two-step reheating process was proposed and applied to perform reheating experiments on the semi-solid 2024 alloy billet. In this process, the semi-solid billet was firstly heated over liquidus temperature and then isothermally held at solid-liquid zone temperature. Microstructure evolution of the semi-solid billet during two-step reheating was studied by optical microscope and compared with that during isothermal reheating. The results show that the remelting rate of the semi-solid billet during two-step reheating is faster than that during isothermal reheating. Under the same reheating time, the grains of the semi-solid billet reheated by two-step reheating process are finer and rounder than those by isothermal reheating process. The present experimental results indicate that accelerating the formation of liquid phase during the two-step reheating process can restrain the coalescence of grains to a certain extent, and thus refine the grain size and promote the grain spheroidization.     

半固态2024合金部分重熔新工艺与组织演变

提出半固态坯料先在液相线以上某温度适当等温加热,然后再降低温度至两相区继续等温保温的两步法部分重熔新工艺.采用该工艺对低过热度浇注半固态2024合金坯料进行部分重熔试验,利用光学显微镜和金相图像分析系统,研究了坯料组织演变规律,并与两相区等温部分重熔工艺进行了比较.结果表明,采用两步法部分重熔工艺.由于坯料升温速度加快和熔化过热温度提高,抑制了晶间共晶相的溶解扩散,晶间液相形成速度明显加快,对晶粒合并长大具有一定的抑制作用,并加速晶粒球化,坯料部分重熔后,晶粒更加细小和圆整.

SiCp/ZA27复合材料在预变形-半固态等温热处理过程中的组织演变

对SiCp/ZA27复合材料锭料在250℃进行了不同程度的压缩变形，研究了经变形的复合材料在半固态温度460℃等温热处理过程中组织的演变过程。结果表明：随着形量的增大，复合材料原来发达的树枝晶逐渐变为粗短枝晶和等轴晶；在热处理过程中，变形的树枝晶因晶间共晶组织的溶入而快速合并长大，形成无晶界或少晶界的相互连接的组织，将原晶界处的SiCp裹入晶粒内，随后，剩余共晶组织开始熔化并向回复与再结晶所形成的多涟形晶界浸渗，造成组织分离，当压缩比大于10％时，形成相互独立的多边形晶粒，后经球状化形成球状晶粒，同时，将SiCp返还于固态晶粒间的液相中；而压缩比小于10％时，则形成相互连接的不规则组织；随着变形量的增大，上述演变过程加快,球状化刚完成时的晶粒尺寸变小、圆整度提高；球状化完成之后，因有效液相率低，晶粒的粗化现象较为明显。

钢铁材料及有色合金构件的多段半固态成形工艺研究

目的为了有效抑制半固态成形过程中的液相偏析,改善半固态成形构件微观组织和力学性能的均匀性。方法提出了包括多段流变成形和多段触变成形在内的多段半固态成形工艺。多段半固态成形工艺均由半固态坯/浆料制备、预成形、控温冷却和终成形4个阶段组成,分别在热模拟试验机和机械伺服压机上开展了SKD11工具钢和6061铝合金的半固态触变成形和半固态流变成形试验。结果在初成形阶段,具有较高液相分数的半固态坯/浆料以较高的应变速率初步充填型腔,限制了液相外流的时间和空间;在控温冷却阶段,半固态坯/浆料的液相分数因部分凝固而降低;在终成形阶段,具有较低液相分数的半固态坯/浆料以较低的应变速率完成型腔的充填,由于固相晶粒在此阶段发生塑性变形而提高了成形构件的力学性能。结论获得了组织均匀性较好的钢铁材料和有色合金构件,验证了多段半固态成形工艺的可行性。
