钇含量对Mg-xY-1.5LPC-0.4Zr合金的时效硬化和力学性能的影响(英文)

研究钇含量对Mg-xY-1.5LPC-0.4Zr镁合金的时效硬化、显微组织和力学性能的影响(其中LPC代表富镧混合稀土金属)。当将Y加入Mg-1.5LPC-0.4Zr时,随着Y含量的增加,合金的时效硬化反应相应增强,晶粒尺寸变小,强度增加。当将Y添加到Mg-1.5LPC-0.4Zr合金中时,时效析出相发生改变,由Mg-LPC基合金的稳态Mg12RE相转变为Mg-Y基合金的亚稳态β′相,且随着Y含量的增加,β′相的数量也相应增多。在合金晶界上还发现了稳态立方形的β-Mg24Y5相。对于Mg-Y-LPC-Zr合金,拉伸性能的改善主要归功于均匀、弥散分布的β′相,在晶界上的β-Mg24Y5相对合金的晶界也有明显的强化作用。当Y含量达到6%时,合金的拉伸强度最大,合金在室温和250°C的抗拉强度分别是250 MPa和210 MPa。     

Effect of Solution Treatment on Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of Mg–4Gd–1Y–1Zn–0.5Ca–1Zr Alloy

The as-cast multi-element Mg–4Gd–1Y–1Zn–0.5Ca–1Zr alloy with low rare earth additions was prepared, and the solution treatment was applied at different temperatures. The microstructural evolution of the alloy was characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and corrosion properties of the alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution were evaluated by immersion and electrochemical tests. The results indicate that the as-cast alloy is composed of the a-Mg matrix,lamellar long-period stacking-ordered(LPSO) structure and eutectic phase. The LPSO structure exists with more volume fraction in the alloy solution-treated at 440 °C, but disappears with the increase in the solution temperature. For all the solution-treated alloys, the precipitated phases are detected. The corrosion rates of the alloys decrease first and then increase slightly with the increase in the solution temperature, and the corrosion resistance of the solution-treated alloys is more than four times as good as that of the as-cast alloy. In addition, the alloy solution-treated at 480 °C for 6 h shows the best corrosion property.     

Mechanical properties and oxidation behaviour of two-phase iron aluminium alloys with Zr(Fe,Al)2 Laves phase or Zr(Fe,Al)12 τ1 phase

Two-phase Fe-rich Fe–Al–Zr alloys have been prepared consisting of binary Fe–Al with a very low solubility for Zr and the ternary Laves phase Zr(Fe,Al)₂ or τ₁ phase Zr(Fe,Al)₁₂. Yield stress, flexural fracture strain, and oxidation behaviour of these alloys have been studied in the temperature range between room temperature and 1200 °C. Both the Laves phase and the τ₁ phase act as strengthening phases increasing significantly the yield stress as well as the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature. Alloys containing disordered A2+ ordered D0₃ Fe–Al show strongly increased yield stresses compared to alloys with only A2 or D0₃ Fe–Al. The binary and ternary alloys with about 40at.% Al and 0 or 0.8at.% Zr show the effect of vacancy hardening at low temperatures which can be eliminated by heat treatments at 400 °C. At higher Zr contents this effect is lost and instead an increase of low-temperature strength is observed after the heat treatment. The increase of the high-temperature yield strength of Fe-40at.% Al by adding Zr is much stronger than by other ternary additions such as Ti, Nb, or Mo. Tests on the oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1200 °C indicate a detrimental effect of Zr already for additions of 0.1at.%.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6Al magnesium alloy with yttrium and neodymium

The effects of rare earth (RE) elements Y and Nd on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6Al magnesium alloy were investigated. The results show that a proper level of RE elements can obviously refine the microstructure of Mg-6Al magnesium alloys, reduce the quantity of/β-Mg17Al12 phase and form Al2Y and AI2Nd phases. The combined addition of Y and Nd dramatically enhances the tensile strength of the alloys in the temperature range of 20-175℃. When the content of RE elements is up to 1.8%, the values of tensile strength at room temperature and at 150℃ simultaneously reach their maximum of 253 MPa and 196 MPa, respectively.The main mechanisms of enhancement in the mechanical properties of Mg-6Al alloy with Y and Nd are the grain refining strengthening and the dispersion strengthening.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ81 magnesium alloy with Y and Nd elements

The effects of rare earth（RE） elements Y and Nd （w（Y）/w（Nd）=3：2） with total content of 1%-4% on microstructures and elevated temperature mechanical properties of AZ81 magnesium alloy were investigated. The results show that, proper content of rare earth elements makes the microstructures of AZ81 magnesium alloy refine obviously and the quantity offl-MglTAll2 phases reduce, and Al2Y and Al2Nd form. After solid solution treatment, with increasing content of rare earth elements, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloys （at room temperature, 150 ℃ and 250 ℃） increase first, then decrease. When the content of rare earth elements is up to 2%, the values of tensile strength at room temperature and 150 ℃ are up to their maxima simultaneously, 282 MPa and 212 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the values of elongation at room temperature and at elevated temperature are also up to their maxima, 13% and 15%, respectively.     

Effects of Minor Zr and Sr on As-Cast Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-4Y-1.2Mn-1Zn (wt.%) Magnesium Alloy

The effects of minor Zr and Sr on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg-4Y-1.2Mn-1Zn (wt.%) alloy were investigated using optical and electron microscopies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, and tensile and creep tests. The microstructural results indicate that small additions of Zr and/or Sr to the Mg-4Y-1.2Mn-1Zn alloy do not cause an obvious change in the morphology and distribution of the Mg₁₂YZn phase in the alloy. The tensile and creep tests indicate that, although small additions of Zr and/or Sr to the Mg-4Y-1.2Mn-1Zn alloy do not have obvious effects on the creep properties of the alloy, the tensile properties at room temperature and 300 °C for the alloys added with Zr and/or Sr are improved. Among the Zr- and/or Sr-containing alloys, the alloy specifically added with of 0.5 wt.% Zr + 0.1 wt.% Sr obtains the optimum tensile properties, and is followed by the alloys added with 0.5 wt.% Zr and 0.1 wt.% Sr.

Effect of segregation on initiation of corrosion of aluminium sacrificial anode containing mischmetal

Abstract

The effects of rare earth (RE) elemental additions in the form of mischmetal, added into an Al–Zn–In sacrificial anode alloy, were studied in 3% NaCl solution. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis were employed to analyse the microstructure of all Al alloys. Potentiodynamic polarisation of the anode material and a model alloy that simulated the segregated grain boundary composition were also investigated. The results showed that the microstructure of Al–Zn–In–RE alloy exhibited a typical dentritic form with small precipitates in an Al matrix and eutectic in interdendritic regions. Preferential attack from anodic segregation produced the early pitting and minor element enrichment on the surface, thus activating the anodes. Thus, using a RE mischmetal, which is much cheaper than pure RE elements, Al–Zn–In–RE alloys obtained desirable electrochemical properties for Al sacrificial anodes.     

Fe79Zr9B12和Fe76Zr9B15合金的晶化行为和磁性能

采用单辊快淬法制备Fe79Zr9B12和Fe76Zr9B15非晶合金薄带,并对两合金进行不同温度下热处理。利用差热分析仪(DTA)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)和振动样品磁强计(VSM)研究Fe79Zr9B12合金和Fe76Zr9B15合金的晶化行为和磁性能。结果表明,Fe79Zr9B12合金和Fe76Zr9B15合金的晶化激活能分别为404.42 kJ/mol和370.75 kJ/mol。晶化初期,有α-Mn型相和α-Fe相从Fe79Zr9B12非晶合金基体中析出,Fe23B6型相和α-Fe相从Fe76Zr9B15非晶合金基体中析出。α-Mn型相和Fe23B6型相均为亚稳相,进一步高温热处理后,α-Mn型相转变为α-Fe相,Fe23B6型相转变为α-Fe相、Fe2B相和Fe3B相。Fe79Zr9B12合金的矫顽力(Hc)在600℃退火后突然增大,继续高温退火,Hc下降;Fe76Zr9B15合金的Hc随着退火温度的升高持续增大。两种合金矫顽力随退火温度的变化与退火后合金的微观结构密切相关。     

Effect of Ce-rich rare earth on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb magnesium alloy

To improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb magnesium alloy,different amount of Ce-rich rare earth(RE)was added to the alloy,and the effect of RE addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb alloy was investigated by means of Brinell hardness measurement, scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscope(EDS)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results show that an appropriate amount of Ce-rich rare earth addition can make the Al4Ce phase particles and CeSb phase disperse more evenly in the alloy.These phases refine the alloy’s matrix and make the secondary phases[?-Mg 32 (Al,Zn)49 phase and?-Al 2 Mg5Zn2 phase]finer and more dispersive,therefore significantly improve the mechanical properties of the Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb alloy.When the RE addition is 1.0 wt.%,the tensile strengths of the alloy both at room temperature and 150oC reach the maximum values while the impact toughness is slightly lower than that of the matrix alloy.The hardness increases with the increase of RE addition.     

New high-temperature copper alloys

New high-strength, high-temperature Cu-Ni-Si alloys have been developed using additions of Cr, Zr, and/or Ti. These new alloys remain as precipitation hardenable as the base alloy, but the main strengthening phase may be different than Ni₂Si (e.g., Cr₂Ti). Substantial increases in mechanical strength were observed at both room and high temperature (773 K) when additions of Cr+Zr+Ti and Cr+Zr were made. Industrial testing of these alloys indicated a sevenfold increase in the lifetime of lateral blocks in continuous casting equipment of copper alloys.     

Properties and applications of some gold alloys modified by rare earth additions

The influence of rare earth (RE) additions on the microstructure and some properties of gold and gold alloys have been studied. RE additions can refine the grain size of gold alloys, but show a tendency to segregation, both dendritic segregation in cast alloys and grain boundary segregation in annealed alloys. For gold alloys, RE additions are generally used in trace amounts or dilute concentrations in order to avoid a large segregation of RE and the potential embrittlement of gold alloys. The experimental results demonstrate that RE additions can inhibit recovery softening, increase the recrystallization temperature and enhance the strength of gold alloys. The strengthening mechanisms of RE additions in gold alloys are discussed. Some gold alloys with RE additions have been developed and their applications are illustrated briefly     

MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATION AND THERMAL STABILITY IN Cu-Al-Co AND Cu-Al-Zr ALLOYS

Cu-Al-Co and Cu-Al-Zr alloys were explored with Co or Zr additions in Cu-Al alloys for high temperature shape memory alloys. Samples were quenched after homogenized at 850℃ for 48h. It was found that both Cu-Al-Co and Cu-Al-Zr show AlCus martensitic phase at room temperature and exhibit martensitic transformation temperatures higher than 200℃, showing the potentials for developing as high temperature shape memory alloys. Thermal cycles were performed by DSC instrument on both Cu-Al-Co and Cu-Al-Zr alloys. The results show that Cu-Al-Co loses its martensitic transformation after five thermal cycles, and Cu-Al-Zr exhibits no martensitic transformation in the second thermal cycle.

Effect of Zr addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of Ni-46Ti-4Al alloy

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Ni-(46-x)Ti-4Al-xZr (x = 0-8, at.%) alloys have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and mechanical tests. The results show that the Ni-Ti-Al-Zr alloys are composed of TiNi and (Ti, Al) 2 Ni with Zr as a solid solution element in both phases, and the third phase, (Zr, Ti, Al) 2 Ni, appears in Ni-40Ti-4Al-6Zr and Ni-38Ti-4Al-8Zr alloys. The compressive yield strength at room temperature increases with the increase of Zr content due to the solid-solution strengthening of Zr and precipitation strengthening of (Ti, Al, Zr) 2 Ni phase. However, the Ni-42Ti-4Al-4Zr alloy exhibits the maximum compressive yield strength at 873 and 973 K because of the softening of (Zr, Ti, Al) 2 Ni phase in the alloys with more Zr addition. The tensile stress-strain tests and the SEM fracture surface observations show that the brittle to ductile transition temperature of Ni-42Ti-4Al-4Zr alloy is between 873 and 923 K.

Einfluß von Calcium sowie Cer auf das Oxidationsverhalten hochwarmfester Nickelbasislegierungen

Influence of calcium and cerium on the oxidation behaviour of high temperature strength nickel base alloys Thermogravimetric investigation into the behaviour of Ni alloys having various Al, Co, Cr, Mo, Nb, Ta, Ti, V, W, and Zr contents; the investigations were carried out at temperatures between 800 and 1200°C; the influence of minor additions of Ca and Ce has been studied simultaneously. It turns out, that the improvement of scale adhesion which can be obtained by these additions is limited to a certain temperature range; above specific upper temperature limits the alloying additions lose their efficiency. From among the alloys investigated Inconel 713C turns out to be the alloy having the highest scaling resistance under these conditions. The scale layers formed are very thin and have excellent adhesion properties.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Zr-Cu-Al bulk metallic glasses

Zr49Cu46Al5 and Zr48.5Cu46.5Al5 bulk metallic glasses（BMGs） with diameter of 5 mm were prepared through water-cooled copper mold casting. The phase structures of the two alloys were identified by X-ray diffractometry（XRD）. The thermal stability was examined by differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）. Zr49Cu46Al5 alloy shows a glass transition temperature, Tg, of about 689 K, an crystallization temperature, Tx, of about 736 K. The Zr48.5Cu46.5Al5 alloy shows no obvious exothermic peak. The microstructure of the as-cast alloys was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The aggregations of CuZr and CuZr2 nanocrystals with grain size of about 20 nm are observed in Zr49Cu46Al5 nanocrystalline composite, while the Zr48.5Cu46,5Al5 alloy containing many CuZr martensite plates is crystallized seriously. Mechanical properties of bulk Zr49Cu46Al5 nanocrystalline composite and Zr48.5Cu46.5Al5 alloy measured by compression tests at room temperature show that the work hardening ability of Zr48.5Cu46.5A15 alloy is larger than that of Zr49Cu46Al5 alloy.
