粗晶粒铸轧AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能

研究了具有较大晶粒尺寸铸轧态AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能。通过热处理获得晶粒尺寸d=27．8μm的板材,对不同试样,在温度分别为300,350,400,450℃恒温条件下,以10^-3s^-1和10^-3s^-1恒定拉伸速率对试样进行拉伸至失效实验。结果表明,粗晶粒AZ31镁合金在450℃和10^-3s^-1条件下达到最大的延伸率106．7％。拉伸试样断口形貌的分析表明,450℃时出现丝状物质是合金出现液态zn的结果。少量的液相可以释放应力集中和协调此时的变形过程。与细晶粒铸轧态AZ31相比,在拉伸条件相同和晶粒尺寸不同的情况下,粗晶粒的塑形较低,其原因是晶界滑移在变形时所作贡献少。

Thermal-stress simulation of direct-chill casting of AZ31 magnesium alloy billets

Two-dimensional (2D) transient coupled finite element model was developed to compute the temperature and stress field in cast billets, so as to predict the defects of the I-type billets made from AZ31 magnesium alloy and find the causes and solutions for surface cracks and shrinkages during direct-chill (DC) casting process. Method of equivalent specific heat was used in the heat conduction equation. The boundary and initial conditions used for primary and secondary cooling were elucidated on the basis of the heat transfer during the solidification of the billet. The temperature and the thermal-stress fields were simulated with the thermal-structural coupled module of ANSYS software. The influences of casting parameters on the distributions of temperature and stress were studied, which helped optimize the parameters (at pouring temperature of 680 °C, casting speed of 2 mm/s, heat-transfer coefficient of the second cooling equals to 5 000 W/m²·°C⁻¹). The simulation results of thermal stress and strain fields reveal the formation mechanism of some casting defects, which is favourable for optimizing the casting parameters and obtain high quality billets. Some measures of controlling processes were taken to prevent the defects for direct-chill casting billets.

Examination of dynamic recrystallization during compression of AZ31 magnesium

This study aimed to investigate dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior during compression of magnesium alloy AZ31. Cylinder samples were cut from the extruded rod and hot rolled sheet AZ31 for compression test. The samples were compressed using a Gleeble 1500D at a temperature of 300℃ and a strain rate of 0.01 s-1. Grain orientations and misorientation angles across grain boundaries for the tested samples were obtained by using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results showed that strong basal texture was observed after 50% compression (ε = 0.69) on both the extruded and hot rolled samples, which have different initial textures. It was observed that with increased strain, DRX grains gradually rotated to basal orientation, and grain boundaries with misorientation angle of near 30° was formed in the samples. At the strain of 0.69, a high fraction of high-angle (> 60°) bounda-ries was present in the extruded sample, whereas almost no high angle boundaries were observed in the hot rolled sheet sample.

AZ31B合金的铸轧组织

利用金相及扫描电镜对AZ31B合金热模拟和铸轧样组织结构进行研究。研究结果表明：在不同应变量下,热模拟样品的晶粒粒度均随应变速率的增加而减小,而当其他条件相同时,变形量越大晶粒粒度越小,冷却强度降低,合金呈典型铸态组织;利用铸轧技术生产的AZ31B合金,当应变速率一定时,随着初始铸轧温度的降低,铸轧态板材的树枝晶粒度逐渐减小;而在初始铸轧温度一定时,随着应变速率的增大,铸轧态合金板材的树枝晶粒度也逐渐减小;而随着应变速率的提高,树枝晶沿轧向呈流线状排列的趋势增强;在AZ31B合金铸轧过程中,轧制力不能太大,否则容易引起热裂。

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy ingot fabricated by semi-continuous casting

The AZ31 alloy ingot with diameter of 110 mm and length of 3500 mm was fabricated successfully. The compositions and microstructure morphologies of the ingot at different locations were performed, which indicated that the chemical composition distributed homogeneously through the whole alloy ingot and the average grain size increased from the surface to the center. The results of the EDS and element face-scanning illustrated that the eutectic compounds mainly consisted of fl-Mg17Al12 and a small amount of fl-Mgl7（AlZn）12. Furthermore, slight improvements of the strength and ductility were observed from the center to the surface along the axial direction of the alloy ingot, while both the strength and elongation to failure of the samples along the radial direction are higher than that along the axial direction. The fine grain strengthening was the main contributors to the strength of the as-casted AZ31 alloy.     

Improved mechanical properties in AZ31 magnesium alloys induced by impurity reduction

Mechanical properties and microstructures of AZ31 magnesium alloys containing different impurity levels but having the same alloying element content, were investigated at ambient temperature. These AZ31 alloys were produced by semi-continuous casting, wherein the content of impurity was varied systematically. Microstructure observation shows that finer grains are existent in the alloy with lower impurity level. Tensile testing reveals that a reduction of impurity content results in a noticeable increase of the strength and elongation in the alloys in the cast, homogenized and extruded states. As the impurity content decreases from 0.0462wt% to 0.0163wt%, the ultimate tensile strength is evidently enhanced by 62 MPa and the elongation is nearly doubled in the homogenized specimen. The observed property improvement was discussed in terms of the microstructure variation with impurity reduction.

Influence of chemical liquids on the fatigue crack growth of the AZ31 magnesium alloy

The fatigue crack growth behavior of an AZ31 magnesium alloy was investigated by comparing the effect of zirconate and phos-phate chemical liquids.The morphology,components,and phase compositions of the chemical depositions at the fatigue crack tip were analyzed by employing scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD),respectively.For samples with and without the chemical liquids,their stress-intensity factor values at the fatigue crack tip were compared by using a stress-strain gauge.The results demonstrated that a zirconate film(ZrxOy·ZnxOy) and a phosphate film(Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O and MgZnP2O7) could be formed on the fatigue crack-surface at the fatigue crack tip.The stress distribution was changed because of the chemical depositions and the causticity of the chemical liquids.This could decrease the stress-intensity factor value and thus effectively cause fatigue crack closure,which reduces the fatigue crack growth rate.Moreover,it was found that the fatigue crack closure effect of zirconates was more positive than that of phosphates.

Influence of deformation on precipitation in AZ80 magnesium alloy

Precipitates in the conventionally processed (solution treatment followed by aging) AZ80 alloy are coarse, cellular, and incoherent. They nucleate and grow on the basal planes of the matrix or distribute discontinuously in the alloy. Their unique morphology and undesired distribution make them ineffective for precipitation strengthening. This condition, however, can be modified by applying selected deforma-tion and heat treatment conditions. The effect of deformation and heat treatment on the morphology and...

Numerical simulation of the temperature fields of stainless steel with different roller parameters during twin-roll strip casting

The temperature field of stainless steel during twin-roll strip casting was simulated by experiment and a finite element (FE) model. By comparing the measured result with the simulated values, it is found that they fit close to each other, which indicates this FE model is effective. Based on this model, the effects of roll gap (0 and roll radius (R) on solidification were simulated. The simu-lated results give the relationship between t or R and the position of the freezing point. The larger the t is and the smaller the R is, the closer the position of the freezing point is to the exit.     

As-extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy fatigue crack propagation behavior

The fatigue crack propagation rate of as-extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy was studied. Compact tension [C(T)] of the notch direction parallel (T-L), vertical (L-T), and inclined at 45o to the extrusion direction was investigated. The experimental results indicate that the crack propagation direction is parallel to the extrusion direction for T-L and L-T specimens, whereas the specimen inclined at 45o has an angular deflection of 9° to 11° toward the extrusion direction. The T-L specimen has the fastest fatigue crack propagation rate, and the L-T specimen has the slowest rate, the fatigue crack propagation rate of the specimen inclined at 45o is between the two directions. The crack tip propagates by both transgranular and intergranular fractures. Fatigue fractures consist of cleavage plane or quasi-cleavage and are brittle fractures. The fatigue striation occurs for specimens inclined at 45o and its size is 3-15 μm.
