Microstructural evolution of equal channel angular pressed AZ91D magnesium alloy during semi-solid isothermal heat treatment

The microstructural evolution of AZ91D magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing during isothermal heat treatment at 570℃ was investigated. The results indicated that the equal channel angular pressing followed by semi-solid isothermal heat treatment was an effective method to prepare semisolid nondendritic slurry of AZ91D magnesium alloy. During this process, its microstructure change underwent four stages, the initial coarsening stage, the structure separation stage, the spheroidization stage and the final coarsening stage. The microstructural spheroidization effect was the best after being heated for 15 min for the alloy pressed for four passes, and the grain size was the smallest. With the further increase of heating time, the grain size and shape factor increased. When the heating time was kept constant, the grain size and shape factor decreased with the increase of pressing passes.     

Reheating microstructure of refined AZ91D magnesium alloy in semi-solid state

By means of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) test, upsetting test and metalloseope, reheating mierostruetures of raw casting ingots, materials prepared by SIMA and materials extruded by ECAE in semi-solid state were investigated. The results show that compared with those of raw casting ingots and materials prepared by SIMA, reheating microstrueture of materials extruded by ECAE is the best and the final grain size is the finest. With increasing holding time, a growing phenomenon occurs in reheating microstrueture of materials extruded by ECAE, which can be described by Ostwald ripening law. The average grain size increases firstly, subsequently decreases and the shape factor of grains approaches to 1 as the reheating temperature increases. With increasing equivalent strain, the average grain size decreases. This demonstrates that reheating material extruded by ECAE technology is a good method to prepare AZ91D magnesium alloy semi-solid billets.     

Microstructure evolution of semi-solid SiCp/AZ91D nanocomposite during isothermal heat treatment process

ABSTRACT

The microstructure evolution of semi-solid SiC_p/AZ91D nanocomposite during isothermal heat treatment process in the mushy-zone was investigated. The results indicate that the nano-size SiC particles in composite are distributed uniformly and the grains are refined significantly by the addition of nano-size SiC particles. The semi-solid microstructure evolution experiences four stages during isothermal heat treatment process: the initial coarsening, structural separation, spheroidization and final coarsening. The grain size of the primary α-Mg phase decreases with the increasing of holding temperature. With the prolongation of holding time, the grain size of the primary α-Mg phase decreases at first and then increases. The optimum isothermal heat treatment parameter is 575℃ for 30min, under which the average grain diameter is 58μm and shape factor is 1.25.     

Thixotropic behavior of semi-solid AZ91D magnesium alloy

The thixotropie behavior of semi-solid AZ91D slurry was studied through a Couette type viseometer.The results show that the apparent viscosity of semi-solid AZ91D magnesium alloy slurry increases after being isothermally held, but the apparent viscosity quickly falls down to a steady state value after being stirred again and it takes on a sharp shear-thinning behavior. With the same shearing rate and the rest time increasing, the steady apparent viscosity increases because of the agglomeration of the solid particles, and the time required for the slurry to reach the steady state also becomes longer. If the solid fraction increases, it takes longer time for the slurry to reach the steady apparent viscosity with the same shearing rate and the same rest time. If the solid fraction and the rest time are the same, but the shearing rate rises, it takes shorter time for the slurry to reach the steady apparent viscosity and the final steady apparent viscosity also decreases.     

原始组织对半固态AZ91D镁合金重熔行为的影响

采用水淬法研究了具有5种不同凝固组织的AZ91D镁合金半固态熔化过程的行为.结果表明:增加冷却速率、预变形处理和晶粒细化有利于初始凝固组织中存在的非平衡组织的分散细化.原始组织中的非平衡共晶组织在加热过程中大部分扩散溶解而溶入基体中,剩余部分在加热过程中首先熔化;冷却速率越大或预变形处理以后的试样在熔化过程中更容易发生二次枝晶臂之间的合并.提出半固态熔化过程可分为成分均匀化、共晶熔化及部分初生相的熔化和球化完成3个阶段,不同熔化阶段的控制性因素不同.熔化后的半固态组织中固态颗粒的尺寸和形貌主要与初始组织的形貌、加热过程中非平衡组织的溶解速度及加热速度有关.
