STE355钢焊后显微组织中的粒贝及其对韧性的影响

研究焊接热模拟工艺参数(峰值温度Tmax和焊后冷却时间t8/5)对低碳微合金Ti—Nb钢(STE355钢)热影响区(HAZ)显微组织及冲击韧度的影响。选用干涉层腐蚀法，在光学金相显微镜下清晰显示出了显微组织中的粒贝及M—A组元。观察了Tmax和t8/5不同的热模拟试样中粒贝及M—A组元的形态及分布特征，研究了不同Tmax及t8/5参数对显微组织及冲击韧度的影响，并用电子显微镜进行了观察和验证。结果表明，热模拟峰值温度的升高，或冷却趋缓，都使显微组织变粗、韧性降低。沿晶铁素体和晶内铁素体片的长大、增厚，粒贝中块状M—A岛的长大，都对韧性的改善不利。     

Effect of austenitization on austempering of copper alloyed ductile iron

A ductile iron containing 0.6% copper as the main alloying element was austempered at a fixed austempering temperature of 330 °C for a fixed austempering time of 60 min after austenitization at 850 °C for different austenitization periods of 60, 90, and 120 min. The austempering process was repeated after changing austenitization temperature to 900 °C. The effect of austenitization temperature and time was studied on the carbon content and its distribution in the austenite after austenitization. The effect of austenitization parameters was also studied on austempered microstructure, structural parameters like volume fraction of austenite, X _γ , carbon content C _γ , and X _γ C _γ , and bainitic ferrite needle size, d _α after austempering. The average carbon content of austenite increases linearly with austenitization time and reaches a saturation level. Higher austenitization temperature results in higher carbon content of austenite. As regards the austempered structure, the lowering austenitization temperature causes significant refinement and more uniform distribution of austempered structure, and a decrease in the volume fraction of retained austenite.     

Influence of the Workpiece Stiffness on the Electromagnetic Sheet Metal Forming Process into Dies

Electromagnetic sheet metal forming is a high speed forming process using pulsed magnetic fields to form metals with high electrical conductivity such as aluminum. Thereby, workpiece velocities of more than 300 m/s are achievable, which can cause difficulties when forming into a die. The kinetic energy, which is related to the workpiece velocity, must be dissipated in a short time slot when the workpiece hits the die; otherwise undesired effects, for example rebound can occur. One possibility to handle this shortcoming is to locally increase the stiffness of the workpiece. A modal analysis is carried out in order to determine the stiffness of specific regions of the workpiece so that an estimation concerning the feasibility of the desired geometry is possible in advance without doing cost and time consuming experiments. Thereby, the desired geometry of the workpiece will be fractionized in significant sectors. This approach has to define the internal force variables acting on the cutting edge, which are required to constrain the numerical model. Finally, a method will be developed with the objective of calculating the stiffness of each sector. The numerical results will be verified by experiments.

碳离子注入纯锆后在1 mol/L硫酸溶液中的腐蚀行为

为了研究碳离子注入对纯锆耐蚀性的影响,用MEVVA源对纯锆样品进行了1×1016ions/cm2至1×1017ions/cm2的碳离子注入,注入加速电压为40 kV.用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和俄歇电子谱(AES)分析了注入样品表层元素的价态和深度分布.透射电镜(TEM)用来观察碳离子注入样品的微观结构;碳离子注入样品后相结构的变化用掠角X射线衍射(GAXRD)来检测.纯锆注入样品随后浸入1 mol/L的硫酸溶液中,测其极化曲线以评价其耐蚀性.发现碳离子注入极大地提高了纯锆基体的耐蚀行为,剂量越高,耐蚀性越好.最后,对碳离子注入导致纯锆基体腐蚀行为发生改变的机理进行了讨论.     

Copper-nickel superalloys as inert alloy anodes for aluminum electrolysis

The superalloys Cu-Ni-Al, Cu-Ni-Fe, and Cu-Ni-Cr were studied as anodes for aluminum electrolysis. The alloys were tested for corrosion in acidic electrolyte molten salt and for oxidation in both air and oxygen. The results showed that the Cu-Ni-Al anodes possess excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and the oxidation rates of Cu-Ni-Fe and Cu-Ni-Al anodes were slower than those of pure copper or nickel. During electrolysis, the cell voltage of the Cu-Ni-Al anode was affected most by the concentration of alumina in cryolite molten salt. The Cu-Ni-Fe anode exhibited corrosion resistance in electrolyte molten salt. Comparatively, the Cu-Ni-Cr anode showed poor resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The testing found that further study is warranted on the use of Cu-Ni-Al and Cu-Ni-Fe as inert alloy anodes.

Properties of Induction Plasma Sprayed Iron Based Nanostructured Alloy Coatings for Metal Based Thermal Barrier Coatings

Metal-based thermal barrier coatings (MBTBCs) have been produced using high frequency induction plasma spraying (IPS) of iron-based nanostructured alloy powders. The study of MBTBCs has been initiated to challenge issues associated with current TBC materials such as difficult prediction of their “in-service” lifetime. Reliability of TBCs is an important aspect besides the economical consideration. Therefore, the study of MBTBCs, which should posses higher toughness than the current TBC materials, has been initiated to challenge the mechanical problems of ceramic-based TBCs (CBTBCs) to create a new generation of TBCs. The thermal diffusivity (TD) (α) properties of the MBTBCs were measured using a laser flash method, and density (ρ) and specific heat (C _p) of the MBTBCs were also measured for their thermal conductivity (k) calculation (k = αρ C _p).     

Advances in fabricating superplastically formed and diffusion bonded components for aerospace structures

Superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) production hardware is being fabricated today for aerospace applications. Metal tooling is being used to bring the titanium sheets into contact so diffusion bonding can occur. However, due to material sheet and tooling tolerances, good bond quality is difficult to achieve over large areas. A better method for achieving DB is to use “stop-off” inside sealed sheets of titanium, which constitutes a pack, and then the pack is bonded using external gas pressure. A good method for heating the pack for this process is to use induction heating. Components using “stop-off” that were diffusion bonded first and then superplastically formed have shown much better bond quality than components that were produced using matched metal tooling. This type of tooling has been successful at bonding small areas as long as the exerted pressure is concentrated on the area where bonding is required. Finite element modeling is providing weight effect solutions for titanium SPF/DB aerospace structures. This paper was presented at the International Symposium on Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming, sponsored by the Manufacturing Critical Sector at the ASM International AeroMat 2004 Conference and Exposition, June 8–9, 2004, in Seattle, WA. The symposium was organized by Daniel G. Sanders, The Boeing Company.     

镧离子注入对纯锆抗高温氧化性能的影响

对纯锆表面注入了1×10~(16)ions/cm~2～1×10~(17)ions/cm~2的镧离子,并在500℃条件下进行了空气氧化增重研究。用XPS分析了注入的镧、锆的价态;用AES分析了镧锆氧三元素的深度分布;用0.3°小角X光掠射(GAXRD)分析了高温氧化时氧化锆的相转变。结果表明,纯锆表面注入La离子后,其抗高温氧化性能显著提高,且注入剂量越大效果越强,注入氧化膜以La_2O_3和ZrO_22种形式存在;由于La离子的注入,促使形成大量四方相氧化锆(t-ZrO_2),而且减少四方相氧化锆(t-ZrO_2)向单斜相氧化锆(m-ZrO_2)的转变,这是纯锆氧化速率降低的根本原因。     

原位模板法在铝基底上制备TiO2纳米管阵列薄膜

采用液相沉积法，将铝基多孔阳极氧化铝（AAO）模板浸入到（NH4）2TiF6溶液中，制备出高度有序的TiO2纳米管阵列薄膜，并在不同的温度下进行了热处理。用场发射扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和X射线衍射仪等手段对试样的微观形貌、结构及物相进行了表征。结果表明，TiO2纳米管的形貌依赖于AAO的特征，薄膜是由外径大约200nm，壁厚约40nm的TiO2纳米管阵列组成，薄膜厚度约25μm。原位模板法制备的TiO2纳米管阵列薄膜为非晶态，在400℃空气中焙烧2h转变为锐钛矿相TiO2。经过650℃焙烧仍保持纳米管结构，表现出较好的热稳定性。
