EFFECT OF BRAZING TIME ON TiC CERMET／IRON JOINT BRAZED WITH Ag-Cu-Zn FILLER METAL

The brazing of TiC cermet to iron was carried out at 1223K for 5-20min using Ag-Cu-Zn filler metal.The formation phase and interface structure of the joints were investigated by electron probe microanalysis(EPMA).scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).and the joint strength was tested by shearing method.The results showed:there occurred three new formation phases,Cu(s.s),FeNi and Ag(s.s) in TiC cermet/iron joint.The interface structure was expressed as TiC cermet/Cu(s.s) FeNi(Ag(s.s) a little Cu(s.s) a little FeNi/Cu(s.s) FeNi/iron.With brazing time increasing,there appeared highest shear strength of the joints.the value of which was up to 252.2MPa when brazing time was 10min.     

EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF 0Cr12Mn5Ni4Mo3Al

In this work, the effect of solid soluble temperature, cold treating temperature and ag-ing temperature on the mechanical properties of 0Cr12Mn5Ni4Mo3Al had been inves-tigated systemically. The results show that under the optimal parameters (solid solubletreatment 1050℃×40min, cold treatment -78℃×4h, aging treatment 520℃×2h) theproperties (strength and tenacity) could be up to its maximum.     

The Sulfidation/Oxidation Resistance of Two Ni-Cr-Al-Y Alloys at 700℃

The high temperature corrosion resistance of Ni-25.9Cr-13.5Al-1.2Y-0.6Si and Ni-10.2Co-12.4Cr-16.0Al-0.5Y-0.2Hf alloys was assessed in sulfidation/oxidation environments.In the environment with a sulfur partial pressure of 1Pa. and an oxygen partial pressure of 10^-19Pα,both these alloys exhibited three distinct stages in the weight gain-time curve when tested at 700℃.In the initial stage, selective sulfidation of Cr suppressed the formation of the other metal sulfides,resulting in lower weight gains.In the transient stage, breakdown and cracking of Cr sulfides and insufficient concentration of Cr at the outer zone led to the rapid formation of Ni sulfides and a rapid increase in weight.In the steady-state stage, corrosion was controlled by the diffusion of anions and/or cations, which led to a parabolic rate law.     

STUDY ON THE STABILITY OF T’PHASE IN THE Al-Zn-Cu TERNARY SYSTEM

The phase constitutes and phase compositions in the eight alloys designed with dif-ferent compositions of Al--Zn--Cu system have been determined after the homogenoustreatment and then equilibrium cooling to 20℃ by use of optical microscope, electronprobe microanalysis and X--ray diffraction. It has been found that there existed the T'phase in the seven alloys. Consequently, it was testified that the T' phase was stableat room temperature. At the same time, the phase relationship was not locally rightfor the isothermal section of 20℃ of Al--Zn--Cu system of the ASM published in 1997.     

Effects of Thermal Cycle on Mechanical Properties and Fractography in HAZ of HQ130 Steel

The effect of different peak temperature (Tp) and cooling time (t8/5) on hardness, impact toughness and fracture morphology in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of HQ130 steel was studied by using welding thermo-simulation test. Experimental results show that the impact toughness and hardness decrease with the decrease of Tp or increase of t8/5 under the condition of a single thermal cycle. There is a brittle zone in the vicinity of Tp=800℃, where the impact toughness is considerably low. There is softened zone in vicinity of Tp=700℃, Where the hardness decreases but the toughness increases. In the practical application of multi-layer and multi-pass welding, the welding heat input should be strictly limited (t8/5≥20s) so as to reduce the softness and brittleness in the HAZ of HQ130 steel.     

Theory Deposition Model and Influencing Factors During Process of Preparing Micro-Layer Laminate by EBPVD

This paper briefly introduces the characteristics of electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) technique and the whole process of preparing micro-layer composite laminate. And several major influencing factors are presented and discussed. It was found that residual gas pressure should be low enough to guarantee the unobstructed transportation of vapor steam and electron beam; the evaporation method and evaporation speed are up to the different vapor pressure deficit of compositions of raw materials; and the substrate temperature could have great influence on the microstructure of the micro-layer laminates.     

Numerical Simulation of Controlling in Titanium Alloy Sheets Welding Residual Stress by Trailing Peening

It is a promising and new technology to apply welding with trailing peening to control welding stress and distortion of titanium alloy. Numerical simulation of conventional welding and welding with trailing peening of the titanium alloy sheet is carried out, using nonlinear finite element theory and the engineering analysis software MARC. The result shows that welding with trailing peening technology reduces longitudinal residual stress in welding joint effectively, and it is more effective to reduce residual stress to peen the weld than to peen the weld toe. It is a effective result that other technolooy and method used in welding can never achieved.     

The Adaptive Finite Element Remeshing in Large Deformation of Metal Forming

The adaptive remeshing technique for quadrilateral elements consists of modules the trigger of remeshing, the new mesh generation, adaptive refinement and interpolation of field variables. The new adaptive mesh generation is the key problem. First, a coarse mesh is created by using “loop algorithm“. Subsequent local mesh adaptive refinement is performed based on effective strain. Finally, a typical example of upsetting is given to test efficient of techniques, from which it is verified that the remeshing algorithm developed here exhibits good performance and has high accuracy.     

SUPERPLASTICITY OF A WATER-QUENCHED AND TEMPERED 40Cr STEEL

1.IntroductionSuperplasticity possesses many good characteristics such as high elongation, low flow stress and high atom diffusion ability, which make it show good application in metal forming and diffusion bonding of complex shape structure. Up to now, the superplasticity of steel has been more investigated, however the pretreatment in order to obtain fine grain and then superplasticity was often carried out by circular quenchingof typically 3 times and subsequent high-temperature tempering, …
