Solidification behaviour of Al-7 %Si-Mg casting alloys

The effects of Mg content and cooling rate on the solidification behaviour of Al-7% Si-Mg(mass fraction)casting alloys have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermal analysis and microscopy. The Mg contents were selected as respectively 0.00%, 0.35% and 0. 70% (mass fraction). DTA curves of Al-7%Si-0.55%Mg(mass fraction) alloy at various cooling rates were accomplished and the alloy melt was cast in different cooling rates. The results indicate that increasing Mg content can lower the liquidus and binary Al-Si eutectic transformation temperatures. Large Fe-rich π-phases (AlsFeMg3Si6) are found in the 0.70% Mg alloys together with some small β-phases (Al5FeSi) ; in contrast, only β-phases are observed in the 0.35% Mg alloys. The test results of the Al-7%Si-0.55% Mg alloys identify that the liquidus and binary Al-Si eutectic transformation temperatures decrease, and the quantity of ternary Al-Si-Mg2 Si eutectic phase decreases as the cooling rate increases.     

不同相组成铸态Mg-xLi-1Al合金的阻尼性能(英文)

采用真空熔炼法制备三种不同相态的Mg-xLi-1Al三元合金,并使用光学显微镜、X射线衍射分析及动态力学分析仪研究其显微组织及阻尼性能。结果表明:由于锂含量的增加,合金的相结构发生转变且出现新的阻尼机制,其中BCC结构的出现使阻尼性能显著提高,同时弹性模量的减小也使临界应变振幅值降低。两相共存状态的合金随温度变化表现出较高的阻尼现象,并在低温与高温区均出现两个较为明显的峰值,其中低温区的P1峰是位错阻尼峰,高温区的P2峰是晶界阻尼峰。     

Effect of eutectic phase on damping and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Ni hypoeutectic alloys

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was applied to systematically investigate the low frequency damping properties of as-cast hypoeutectic Mg-Ni alloys. The results show that the as-cast hypoeutectic Mg-Ni alloys exhibit high damping capacities. The strain amplitude dependent damping curve has its own special characteristic, in which the damping is strongly related to the strain amplitude. The effect of the eutectic phase on damping and the mechanical properties of as-cast hypoeutectic Mg-Ni alloys were also discussed in detail.

选取成分为Al-5.17Cu-2.63Si(合金A)、Al-4.29Cu-1.09Mg(合金B)和Al-2.09Si-1.66Mg(合金C)三元铝合金,分别进行不同冷速下的凝固实验。对比研究不同凝固速率下得到的共晶相形貌与含量在接近各合金体系三元共晶温度下热处理前后的变化行为。结果表明:同一合金冷速越慢,得到的原始组织二次枝晶间距越大,合金A的石墨型、砂型、保温型冷却组织的二次枝晶间距分别为24.17、63.32和99.88μm,合金B的二次枝晶间距分别为24.35、82.78和139.42μm。均匀化热处理的热扩散过程可以明显地溶解非平衡共晶相,由于原始组织的尺度不同,共晶相所处的溶解阶段与溶解程度不同。合金A的石墨型、砂型、保温型组织热处理后与热处理前的共晶相含量比值分别为0.44、0.49和0.68,合金B的共晶相含量比值分别为0.084、0.30和0.38。     

Solute segregation in an Al2O3f／Al-4.5Cu alloy composite during solidification at different cooling rates

An Al2O3f/Al-4.5Cu composite was made by squeeze casting. The solute segregation in the composite at different cooling rates was studied. The results indicate that the primary crystal of AI-4.5Cu alloy nucleates and grows in the interstice between fibers. The fiber surface cannot serve as site for the heterogeneous nucleation of a primary dendrite. There exists an increasing Cu concentration gradient from the center of the interstice between fibers to the interface or the grain boundaries. There are the eutectic phases around the fibers. The solute segregation in the matrix increases with the cooling rate rising. The amount of eutectic phases followed by imbalance crystalline can be numerically calculated with Clyne-Kurz formula.     

相组成对Cr-Nb合金高温氧化行为的影响

采用机械活金化 热压烧结法制备5种不同相组成的Cr-Nb合金,研究相组成对Cr-Nb合金在950～1200℃空气中氧化行为的影响。结果表明,Cr相能显著增加NbCr2合金950℃的抗氧化性能;而Nb相不利于合金高温抗氧化性的提高,甚至发生灾难性氧化。SEM和XRD分析显示,单相Cr-2.5Nb合金发生了Cr的外氧化,只形成单一的Cr2O3膜;而双相Cr-18.5Nb合金和单相Laves相NbCr2合金均发生Cr的外氧化和内氧化,形成两层结构的氧化膜。但随着氧化温度增加到1200℃,由于Cr2O3的挥发,导致Cr-Nb合金高温抗氧化性变差。因此,为满足实际高温应用要求,对富软第二相Cr或Nb的NbCr2基合金实施相应的表面防护是必须的。

Dendrite coherency point of A357 alloys

The dendrite coherency point was determined for A357 alloys using double-thermocouples technique. The effects of the cooling rate and different treatments such as grain refinement, modification, and superheat on the dendrite coherency point were investigated. The results show that the increase of the cooling rate and refinement significantly postpones the coherency point of A357 alloys. The morphology of silicon phase is modified, which slightly leads to lower solid fraction （fs） at the coherency point. But the fs^coh value decreases after superheat treatment at 850 ℃ for 30 min. The grain size plays a decisive role in the fs^coh value ofA357 alloys. The smaller the grain size is, the more the fs^coh value increases, which is beneficial to improving the final property of this alloy, while the secondary dendrite arm spacing and modification have almost no influence on fs^coh.

Assessment of the effect of cooling rate on dendrite coherency point and hot tearing susceptibility of AZ magnesium alloys using thermal analysis

Dendrite coherency point (DCP) is an important parameter for examining the solidification structure and castability of alloys. In this research, the DCP of AZ magnesium alloys (AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91) is measured in the range of 0.22 °Cs^?1 to 8.13 °Cs^?1 cooling rates using the two-thermocouple thermal analysis technique. The results show that when cooling rate increased, temperature interval of coherency (T_{N –} T_DCP) and coherency time (t_DCP) are decreased; and it can postpone dendrite coherency. Also, by increasing the cooling rate, solid fraction at dendrite coherency increases initially and then decreases at higher cooling rates. To estimate the hot tearing susceptibility, Clyne and Davies’ criterion is used. Hot tearing susceptibility calculations exhibit initially reduce by increasing the cooling rate and then it increases at higher cooling rates. These results were explained based on the solidification principles.

Impact properties of A356-T6 alloys

The Charpy impact energy of A356 alloys has been measured. Instrumented Charpy impact tests have been conducted at 25,100,150, and 200 °C. The Charpy specimens were machined from plate castings ortapered cylindrical castings. The plates were produced in sand molds, and tapered cylinders were produced in water-cooled copper molds. Both unmodified and strontium-modified castings were tested. The results indicate that strontium modification improves the impact properties of sand and permanent mold castings. The impact energy increases with solution treatment time. Strontium modification reduces the solution treatment time for attaining a specific impact property level in the casting.

Effect of Zn,Cu and Ni addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Dy alloys

This paper presents some research information on the effects of Zn, Cu and Ni on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-2Dy(at.%) alloys. The Mg-2Dy alloy is composed of α-Mg and Mg24Dy5 phases. With the addition of 0.5at.%Zn, 0.5at.%Cu and 0.5at.%Ni, respectively, besides α-Mg, the long period stacking order(LPSO) phases containing Zn, Cu, and Ni precipitated in the α-Mg interdentritic boundary. The addition of Ni effectively refined the dendrite arm spacing. The as-cast Mg-2Dy-0.5Ni alloy exhibited the best tensile strengths and elongation. The better mechanical properties were mainly attributed to small secondry dendrite arm spacing(SDAS) and high volume fraction of LPSO phases.     

Assessment of modification level of hypoeu- tectic Al-Si alloys by pattern recognition of cooling curves

1 Introduction Due to their excellent castability and good mechanical properties, Al-Si alloys are the most important and most widely used casting aluminum alloys. A further increase in mechanical properties can be achieved by means of a modification treatment with Na or Sr. Without this treatment, the eutectic silicon crystallises into an acicular or lamellar morphology with poor properties; when a modifying element is added, it becomes a very fine and fibrous silicon network resulting in a…
