采用不同热处理工艺、不同载荷、不同磨损时间对两种成分(不同相变点)的CuZnAl(RE)形状记忆合金进行了干滑动磨损试验。用TEM和XRD对磨损表面和合金相组成进行了观察与检测。试验结果表明:时效处理的合金耐磨性能优于分级淬火处理的合金,合金相变温度对磨损性能的影响受摩擦副温度与载荷的制约,随载荷增加合金塑性变形增大,使合金表面层破坏而失重,外应力越大,合金塑性变形越大,磨损失重也越大。形状记忆效应和超弹性以及合金的晶粒细化能够明显提高CuZnAl(RE)形状记忆合金的耐磨性。     

Effect of Rare Earth on Microstructure of γ-TiAl Intermetallics

The rare earth (RE) elements (Ce, La) were added to binary Ti-47% Al alloys (atomic fraction) by Induction Skull Melting. The element Ce of 1.0 atomic percent was added individually, and La of 0.2 atomic percent was added individually. This article studied the influences of rare earth metal (Ce, La) on microstructure of as-cast TiA1 based alloy by XRD, SEM, EMPA and TEM measurement methodology. The results show that most of rare earth-rich phases (AlCe, Al-La) are uniformly distributed in grain boundary in the shape of discontinuous network, and some particles of rare earthrich phases within the grains are mainly ellipsoids. In addition, rare earth element can obviously refine the grain size and the lamellar thickness of as-cast TiAl based alloy samples. The grain size of Ti-47Al-1.0Ce-0.2La alloy reaches about 30～80μm, and the lameUar thickness of its γ phase and α2 phase are less than 200 and 20nm, respectively.

Effects of rare earth addition on microstructure of C–Mn steel

Abstract

The microstructures were observed in C–Mn steel and statistical analysis of the inclusions produced when trace amounts of rare earth were added to the steel. The results show that the content of intragranular acicular ferrite decreased in the order of being treated with La+Ce/La/Ce in C–Mn steel after the treatment of different kinds of rare earths. The optimum mass ratio of La and Ce for La+Ce combined treatment is 3:1.The best incubation time after Le+Ce (3:1) treatment is 5?min. The size of inclusion nuclei favouring intragranular acicular ferrite nucleation concentrates in the range of 1–4?μm. The disregistries between rare earth inclusions and α-Fe are small, which plays an important role in rare earth inclusions inducing intragranular acicular ferrite nucleation.     

Behaviors of Lanthanum and Cerium on Grain Boundaries in Carbon Manganese Clean Steel

The behaviors of La and Ce on gram boundaries in carbon manganese clean steel were investigated by high-reso- lution transmission elecetron microscope （HRTEM）, scanning elecetron microscopy（SEM ）, energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） and X-ray diffraction（XRD） analysis. The existing forms of rare earths （RE） in clean steel were as follows： dissolved in sohd solution, forming inclusion or second phase containing RE （RE-Fe-P, La-P, Fe-La eutectic and Fe-Ce phase）. The dissolved La or Ce segregated at grain boundaries. The segregation of both S and P at gram boundaries was reduced with suitable RE content. The impact toughness of the steel was improved obviously. La and Ce had effecets on purifying molten steel and modifying inclusions in clean steel, whereas with excessive La or Ce, La-Fe-P, La-P and Fe-La eutecetic phase or Ce-Fe-P and Fe-Ce intermetallic compound would form along grain boundaries, causing the impact energy to decrease significantly.     

Influence of rare earths addition on residual stress of Fe-based coating prepared by brush plating technology

The effect of rare earths(La, Ce and Pr) addition on residual stress in iron coatings prepared by brush plating was investigated. The results showed that the addition of rare earth transformed the residual stress in the coating from tensile to compressive. To relieve the residual stress, on the one hand, RE elements segregated at the grain boundaries which restricted the coalescence of the grains and provided more capability of grain deformation. On the other hand, RE elements could purify detrimental element and absorb hydrogen atoms in the coating. Among the three rare earths, elements lanthanum showed the most significant effect on surface morphology and residual stress.

电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)测定稀土元素时,轻稀土元素Ce、Nd、Sm的氧化物等复合离子严重干扰重稀土元素Tb、Dy、Ho、Er的测定,因此对混合稀土中重稀土元素进行测定前一般需要先对其分离富集。实验在样品溶解后,将N,N,N′,N′-四辛基-3-氧戊二酰胺(TODGA)用硅藻土吸附后装柱,以0.1 mol/L HNO₃为样品溶液介质上柱,通过控制洗脱液的种类、酸度以及洗脱液流速,实现了轻稀土元素La、Ce、Pr、Nd与重稀土元素Tb、Dy、Ho、Er、Tm、Yb、Lu的分离和富集,建立了ICP-MS测定混合稀土氧化物中重稀土元素的方法。实验表明:控制洗脱流速为2.0 mL/min,用pH 2.0的HNO₃淋洗至淋洗体积约为500 mL,继续收集洗脱液,并用ICP-MS检测其中Nd₂O₃含量,直至洗脱液中Nd₂O₃的质量浓度小于200 ng/mL,可将轻稀土元素La、Ce、Pr、Nd及少量Y、Sm、Gd洗脱;再改用350 mL 1 mol/L HCl洗脱重稀土元素,可实现重稀土元素与La、Ce、Pr、Nd及部分Y、Sm、Gd的分离;通过选择¹⁵⁹Tb、¹⁶³Dy、¹⁶⁵Ho、¹⁶⁷Er、¹⁶⁹Tm、¹⁷²Yb、¹⁷⁵Lu为测定同位素可消除质谱干扰。将实验方法应用于混合稀土氧化物中重稀土元素的测定,加标回收率在93%～110%之间,相对标准偏差(RSD,n=8)在1.1%～10%之间。     

Mechanical properties of the A356 aluminum alloy modified with La/Ce

The research of rare earths for the synthesis of materials with improved mechanical performance is of great interest when they are considered for potential applications in the automotive industry. In this regard, the effect on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the automotive A356 aluminum alloy reinforced with 0.2 (wt.%) Al-6Ce-3La (ACL) was investigated. The ACL was added to the melted A356 alloy in the as-received condition and processed by mechanical milling. In the second route, the effect of the ACL processed by mechanical milling and powder metallurgy techniques was investigated, and compared with the results obtained from the A356 alloy strengthened with ACL in the as-received condition. Microstructural properties were evaluated by means of X-ray diffraction in order to observe the solubility of Ce/La in the Al matrix. In addition, electron microscopy was employed in order to investigate the effect of milling time on the size and morphology of La/Ce phase under milling process. Mechanical properties of the A356 alloy modified with ACL were measured by hardness and tensile test. For comparison unmodified specimens of the A356 were characterized according to the previous procedure. The microstructural and mechanical characterization was carried out in specimens after solution and artificial aging. Observations in scanning electron microscopy indicated a homogeneous dispersion of La/Ce phases by using both routes; however, mechanical results, in the modified A356 alloy with the ACL in the as-received condition, showed an improvement in the mechanical performance of the A356 alloy over that reinforced with the ACL mechanically milled.     

Examination of Plasma Nitriding Microstructure with Addition of Rare Earths

Medium-carbon alloy steel was plasma nitrided with rare earths I_a, Ce and Nd into the nitriding chamber respectively. The nitriding layer microstructures with and without rare earths were compared using optical microscope, normal SEM and high resolution SEM, as well as TEM. It was found that the extent of the influence on plasma nitriding varies with different contents of rare earth. The effect of plasma nitriding is benefit from adding of Ce or Nd. The formation of hard and brittle phase Fe2-3N can be prevented and the butterfly-like structure can be improved by adding Ce or Nd. However, pure La may prevent the diffusion of nitrogen and the formation of iron nitride, and reduce the depth of diffusion layer.
