目的探索工艺参数对微观组织和力学性能的影响。方法材料选用铸态ZK60合金,通过试验研究挤压比、往复挤压道次对镁合金微观组织演变的影响,分析挤压比对T6处理的材料力学性能的影响。结果在一定范围内增大挤压比和增加往复挤压道次均有助于组织细化。在350℃、挤压比为8时,经过8道次往复挤压变形可以细化晶粒到3μm左右。晶粒尺寸达到5μm以下,增加往复道次使晶粒细化的效果不明显,但有利于晶粒的均匀化。在往复挤压温度350℃,挤压比8,往复道次8的条件下,经过T6处理的试样具有良好的综合力学性能,伸长率达到22.1%,抗拉强度为308.6 MPa。结论 ZK60镁合金在往复挤压和动态再结晶过程中,晶粒的细化与往复挤压道次和挤压比有关。若挤压比较小,尽管往复道次较大,但是晶粒细化的效果不明显;合理的匹配挤压比与往复道次,能获得细小、均匀的组织。

Microstructure evolution of spray deposited and as-cast 2195 Al-Li alloys during homogenization

In this paper,a comparative study on the spray deposited and as-cast 2195 alloy was carried out to reveal their microstructure evolutions and differences during the homogenization process.The dissolution of the secondary particles and the diffusion of solute were studied based on microstructure characterization and kinetics analysis.The precipitation behavior of Al3Zr dispersoids and its influence on recrystalliza-tion were investigated by using TEM and EBSD characterization.It was found that the large-size particles at triangular grain boundaries dissolve slower than the intragranular phases and other grain boundary phases.The required homogenization time depends on the dissolution processes of the large-size phases at grain boundaries.The size of grain boundary phases in the spray deposited alloy is much smaller than that in the as-cast alloy,so the homogenization time required for the spray deposited alloy is signifi-cantly shorter.Two-stage and ramp heating homogenization processes can promote the precipitation of Al3Zr dispersoids in the two alloys.In the spray deposited alloy,the dispersoids tend to precipitate at the positions of the T1 plates dissolved,which causes a non-uniform distribution and decreases the recrystallization resistance of the alloy.However,the distribution of the dispersoids in the as-cast alloy is more uniform after the homogenization,which brings a stronger inhibition on the recrystallization.According to the microstructural characterization and kinetics analysis results,it can be concluded that the homogenization with a slow ramp heating is suitable for the two 2195 alloys,and a shorter holding time can be used for spray deposited alloy,e.g.12 h at 500℃,while the holding time for the as-cast alloy is no less than 35 h at 500℃.     

Snoek-type damping behavior of surface oxidation-treated Ti-Mo alloys

The Snoek relaxation damping behavior of surface oxidation-treated Ti-15 wt% Mo and Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys was investigated in this study. When compared to the untreated samples, both alloys exhibited higher damping capacities, higher peak temperatures, and broader peaks after the surface oxidation treatment. The broadening of peak was reflected by a lower activation energy obtained through fitting the peak than that obtained form frequency shift of the peak. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and hardness measurements were used to determine the composition of the dual phase zones and the hardness of each type of treated alloy, respectively. The oxygen distributions in both types of treated alloys were developed based on a diffusion model, and the thicknesses of the apparent oxygen solution zones (AOSZs) were determined to be 120 μm and 210 μm in the Ti-15 wt% Mo and Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys, respectively. The diffusion constants at a high oxidation temperature and at a low damping temperature were obtained for both alloys. The dependence of the damping capacity on the oxygen content in the Ti-40 wt% Mo alloys was much lower than that in the Ti-15 wt% Mo alloys. The contribution to the damping capacity from the AOSZ to the whole sample was estimated based on the law of mixtures. Estimating the contribution to the damping capacity from AOSZ is useful for future applications.

Microstructure of as-cast aluminium bronze containing iron

Abstract

The morphology, crystallography, and chemistry of phases present in an as-cast commercial aluminium bronze containing iron, of nominal composition (wt-%) Cu–10Al–2·5Fe (BS 1400: AB1), and the development of microstructure on cooling from elevated temperatures, have been studied using optical and electron microscopic techniques. The as-cast microstructure consists of α-phase, martensite, and iron-rich intermetallic precipitates. The α-phase is fcc copper-rich solid solution and exhibits a Widmanstätten morphology. The martensitic phase, which is derived from the high-temperature β-phase, has the 9R crystal structure. The intermetallic particles are based on Fe₃Al and have the Do₃ structure. These iron-rich particles are precipitated in the β-phase and cause a refinement of the microstructure by providing sites for the nucleation of the β-phase, to some extent, by impeding the growth of the α-phase.

Microstructure,texture and mechanical behavior characterization of hot forged cast ZK60 magnesium alloy

structure with a significant reduction in casting porosity, while the texture changed to sharp basaMeasured mechanical properties of the forged alloy showed that strength did not change, howductility improved by 75%. The analysis of the fracture surface of the forged alloy under tension rea ductile fracture with dimple morphology, while the as-cast alloy displayed a brittle fracture with pores. This demonstrated that the reduction of casting defects and dendritic morphology, as well evolution of recrystallized grains, enhanced ductility, while partial dynamic recrystallization throuforging process resulted in only marginal modification of strength in the forged condition.. 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials SciTechno     

Compressive creep behavior of as-cast and aging-treated Mg–5 wt% Sn alloys

The microstructure and compressive creep behaviors of as-cast and aging-treated Mg–5 wt% Sn alloys are investigated in this paper. The compressive creep resistance of aging-treated Mg–5 wt% Sn alloy is much better than that of as-cast alloy at the applied stresses from 25 MPa to 35 MPa and the temperatures from 423 K to 473 K, which is mainly due to the dispersive distribution of Mg₂Sn phase in the aging-treated Mg–5 wt% Sn alloy. The calculated average values of stress exponent n and activation energy Q_c suggest that dislocation cross slip and dislocation climb happen respectively in as-cast and aging-treated Mg–5 wt% Sn alloys during creep.     

Microstructure and dry sliding wear behavior of hot-extruded AlSiCuPb bearing alloys

The microstructures, mechanical properties and dry wear behavior of hot-extruded AlSiCuPb bearing alloys have been studied. It showed that the hot-extruded AlSiCuPb alloys possessed microstructures with uniformly distributed lead particles and fine broken grains of silicon, and exhibited further improved mechanical properties in comparison to the stir cast ones. With increasing the lead content, the wear rate decreased greatly and wear rate-load curves took different form for extruded bearing alloys containing 20% and 25% lead. Optical observation revealed the reason was formation of a black compact film of lubricant covering almost the entire worn surface of specimens at highly applied load level. This film is a mixture of different constituents containing the elements Al, Si, O, Fe and Pb.     

Microstructural characterization of as-cast Co–B alloys

This work presents results of microstructural characterization of as-cast Co–B alloys. Samples of different compositions were prepared by arc melting Co (min. 99.97%) and B (min. 99.5%) under argon atmosphere in a water-cooled copper crucible with non-consumable tungsten electrode and titanium getter. All samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in back-scattered electron (BSE) mode, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS). A good agreement is observed between the obtained microstructures and those expected by the currently accepted Co–B phase diagram.     

Microstructure formation and electrical resistivity behavior of rapidly solidified Cu-Fe-Zr immiscible alloys

The immiscible Cu-Fe alloy was characterized by a metastable miscibility gap. With the addition element Zr, the miscibility gap can be extended into the Cu-Fe-Zr ternary system. The effect of the atomic ratio of Cu to Fe and Zr content on the behavior of liquid-liquid phase separation was studied. The results show that liquid-liquid phase separation into Cu-rich and Fe-rich liquids took place in the as-quenched Cu-Fe-Zr alloy. A glassy structure with nanoscale phase separation was obtained in the as-quenched(Cu_(0.5) Fe_(0.5))40Zr_(60) alloy sample, exhibiting a homogeneous distribution of glassy Cu-rich nanoparticles in glassy Fe-rich matrix. The microstructural evolution and the competitive mechanism of phase formation in the rapidly solidified Cu-Fe-Zr system were discussed in detail. Moreover, the electrical property of the as-quenched Cu-Fe-Zr alloy samples was examined. It displays an abnormal change of electrical resistivity upon temperature in the nanoscale-phase-separation metallic glass. The crystallization behavior of such metallic glass has been discussed.
