Density and solidiifcation feeding model of vacuum counter-pressure cast aluminum alloy under grade-pressuring conditions

The density of vacuum counter-pressure cast aluminum alloy samples under grade-pressuring condition was studied. The effect of grade pressure difference and time on the density of aluminum aloys was discussed, and the solidiifcation feeding model under grade-pressuring condition was established. The results indicate the grade-pressured solidiifcation feeding ability of vacuum counter-pressure casting mainly depends on grade pressure difference and time. With the increase of grade pressure difference, the density of al the aluminum aloy samples increases, and the trend of change in density from the pouring gate to the top location is first decreasing gradually and then increasing. In addition, in obtaining the maximum density, the optimal grade-pressuring time is different for samples with different wal thicknesses, and the solidiifcation time when the solid volume fraction of aluminum aloy reaches about 0.65 appears to be the optimal beginning time for grade-pressuring.

Effect of synergistic action of ultrasonic vibration and solidification pressure on tensile properties of vacuum counter-pressure casting aluminum alloy

The effect of synergistic action of ultrasonic vibration and solidification pressure on tensile properties of vacuum counter-pressure casting ZL114 A alloys was studied systemically through testing and analyzing the tensile strength and elongation subjected to different ultrasonic powers and solidification pressures. The results indicate that the synergistic action of ultrasonic vibration and solidification pressure can result in the refinement of grains and improvement of tensile properties. Both the highest tensile strength and elongation of aluminum alloy were obtained under synergistic action of 600 W ultrasonic power and 350 kPa solidification pressure. Moreover, the tensile fracture morphology shows obvious ductile fracture characteristics. When the solidification pressure is lower than 300 kPa, the effect of ultrasonic power on tensile strength and elongation is more obvious, but when the solidification pressure is higher than 300 kPa, the effect of solidification pressure on tensile strength and elongation is greater. Meanwhile, the size and morphology of the eutectic silicon were improved significantly by the ultrasonic vibration and pressurized solidification. The strip and massive eutectic silicon phase are completely converted into small short rod-like and evenly distributed Si phases at the grain boundary of primary α-Al.

自由落体条件下三元Ni-Pb-Cu偏晶合金的快速凝固

在自由落体条件下研究三元Ni62Pb30Cu8偏晶合金的相分离与快速凝固.XRD分析结果表明;凝固组织由固溶体(Ni)和(Pb)两相构成;随液滴直径减小,三元Ni62Pb30Cu8偏晶合金从壳核组织演变为(Pb)相颗粒分布在 (Ni)枝晶间的组织;在形成的壳核组织中,表面张力较小的(Pb)相始终占据最外层,有利于降低表面相和体系总吉布斯自由能.能谱测定发现,在固溶体(Ni)和(Pb)相中,溶质截留效应十分显著.采用传热模型计算了不同直径液滴的冷却速率与过冷度,二者均随液滴直径的增大而减小.理论分析了合金液滴的内部温度梯度与第二相L(Pb)液滴的Maragoni迁移,发现第二相L(Pb)液滴充分实现二次相分离.在自由落体条件下,合金液滴的最终凝固组织由冷却速率、表面偏析、Marangoni迁移和(Ni)枝晶生长共同决定.

Effect of vacuum on solidification process and microstructure of LFC magnesium alloy

Lost foam casting （LFC） is regarded as a cost-effective, environment-friendly vital option to the conventional casting process for production of near-net shape castings with high quality. Effect of vacuum on the solidification process and microstructure of LFC magnesium alloy were explored. The results indicate that vacuum plays a very important role in the heat transfer during mould filling and solidification periods, it increases the cooling rate of the filling melt, but greatly decreases the cooling rate of the casting during solidification period, and the solidification time of the casting is greater than that without vacuum. The microstructure of LFC magnesium alloy is rather coarse. Compared with that without vacuum, the microstructure of the LFC magnesium alloy under vacuum is more refined and has less precipitated β-phase, which is formed at the grain boundry and around the Al-Mn compound particle.     

Behavior of a submicrocrystalline aluminum alloy 1570 under conditions of cyclic loading

A study of the resistance to fatigue-crack growth in a submicrocrystalline alloy Al-6% Mg-0.3% Sc-0.4% Mn in combination with a precision analysis of the fracture surface of the samples has been performed. A comparison of crack resistance between coarse-grained and submicrocrystalline states of this alloy showed that only at the stage of near-threshold crack growth the velocity of fatigue-crack propagation in the submicrocrystalline state proves to be higher than that in the coarse-grained state. At the stage of linear crack growth, the fatigue-crack propagation becomes insensitive to the grain size. Upon transition to the stage of accelerated crack growth, the velocity of crack propagation in the submicrocrystalline alloy is retarded. A fractographic analysis of the fracture surface of the samples indicates that the retardation of the fatigue-crack growth in the submicrocrystalline alloy is connected with a gradual transition from the intercrystalline to the transcrystalline mechanism of fatigue fracture of the material.
