Comparative experiments are performed in friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar Al/Mg alloys with and without assistance of ultrasonic vibration. Metallographic characterization of the welds at transverse cross sections reveals that ultrasonic vibration induces differences in plastic material flow in two conditions. In FSW, the plastic material in the peripheral area of shoulder-affected zone (SAZ) tends to flow downward because of the weakening of the driving force of the shoulder, and a plastic material insulation layer is formed at the SAZ edge. When ultrasonic vibration is exerted, the stirred zone is divided into the inner and outer shear layers, the downward material flow trend of the inner shear layer disappears and tends to flow upward, and the onion-ring structure caused by the swirl motion is avoided in the pin-affected zone. By improving the flow behavior of plastic materials in the stirred zone, ultrasonic vibration reduces the heat generation, accelerates the heat dissipation in nugget zone and changes the thermal cycles, thus inhibiting the formation of intermetallic compound layers.
The synthesis and characterization of Ti–xMg (x=4, 9, 12, 15, 21, 24 at%) alloys using mechanical alloying was investigated. A nanometer-sized Ti–24Mg alloy was produced. During mechanical alloying, the height of the XRD peaks of the Mg in the Ti–9Mg alloy decreased, and then disappeared, whereas the Ti XRD peaks broadened, and the grain size decreased with increasing milling time. The Mg firstly dissolved in the grain boundaries of the Ti, and then diffused into the Ti grain interiors. The grain boundaries played an important role in enhancing the solid solubility of Mg in Ti. With increasing Mg content the volume fraction of grain boundaries increased, and a decrease in grain size occurred after mechanical alloying for 48 h. 相似文献
The aluminated sepiolite, obtained by alkaline treatment with KAlO2, as well as the silver-exchanged aluminated sepiolite were tested in ethanol conversion. The reactions were performed at 280°C and with 50 Torr of ethanol in He. After the alumination through KA1O2, ethanol dehydrogenation and ethanol dehydration resulted from the Lewis acidity. The dispersion of silver led to a bifunctional catalytic system and the overall catalytic activity and the selectivity towards the acetaldehyde production increased. As a result of the Prins reaction, a significant yield in butadiene was observed. 相似文献
