Ultrahigh performance of Ti-based glassy alloy tube sensor for Coriolis mass flowmeter

Bulk metallic glasses （BMGs） have potential applications for both structural and functional components owing to their good mechanical properties. With the aim of demonstrating great engineering value of BMGs, a direct melt-forming technique based on suction casting for the production of glassy alloy tubes was developed. The fabrication, structure, geometry, properties and sensor performance of the tubes were examined. The results show that the Coriolis mass flowmeters using the Ti-based glassy alloy sensor tube exhibit excellent measurement sensitivity, viz. 28.5 times higher than that of the conventional flowmeter manufactured using stainless steel （SUS316） tube.     

Mechanical properties and microstructures of hot extruded AE42 alloy with addition of zinc

Mechanical properties and microstructures of AE42 magnesium alloy with addition of Zn and subjected to hot extrusion at 370 ℃ and an extrusion ratio of 8：1 were investigated. The results show that for the AE42 alloy, the addition of Zn can obviously improve its elongation as well as the ultimate tensile and yield strengths below 150 ℃. The addition of Zn can refine the mierostructure of the AE42 alloy, and result in the precipitation of Mg17Al12 and MgZn2 phases. Due to the addition of Zn to the AE42 alloy, the amount of Al11RE3 phase decreases, while the Al11RE3 phase becomes short rod-shaped from acicular and block, and distributes along the grain boundaries, which will have a stronger effect on the tensile properties of the alloy at elevated temperature. In addition, with the presence of MgZn2 precipitates, the sliding of grain boundaries is restrained and the strength of the alloy gets enhanced.     

强磁场对Bi-Mn合金半固态凝固过程中MnBi析出相组织的影响

在Bi-6%Mn合金从高于355℃(升温过程中MnBi化合物磁性转变温度)的固液两相区凝固过程中,研究了MnBi析出相组织在无磁场和强磁场条件下的演化过程.结果表明:在无磁场条件下MnBi析出相形态在340℃(MnBi相顺磁-铁磁转变温度)附近发生突变,由较规则的六方块状变为沿ab面长大的不规则片状;10 T磁场条件下析出相形态突变的温度提高到355℃左右.另外,10 T磁场能够控制析出相晶粒以c轴平行磁场取向、定向聚合和熔合长大,使析出相的最终形态又趋向较规则的六方块状.     

Microstructures and properties of welded joint of TiNi shape memory alloy and stainless steel

The fracture characteristics of the joint were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope(SEM).Microstructures of the joint were examined by means of optical microscope, SEM and an image analyzer. The results show that the tensile strength of the inhomogeneous joint of TiNi shape memory alloy and stainless steel is lower than that of the homogeneous joint and a plastic field appears in the heat affected zone on the side of TiNi shape memory alloy. Because TiNi shape memory alloy and stainless steel melted, a brittle as-cast structure was formed in the weld. The tensile strength and the shape memory effect of the inhomogeneous joint are strongly influenced by the changes of composition and structure of the joint. Measures should be taken to reduce the base metal melting and prevent the weld metal from the invasion by O for improving the properties of the TiNi shape memory alloy and stainless steel inhomogeneous joint.

The Hot Corrosion of Fe-Mn-Al–C Alloy with NaCl/Na2SO4 Coating Mixtures at 750°C

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of Fe-30.1Mn-9.7Al-0.77C alloy initially coated with 2 mg/cm² NaCl/Na₂SO₄ (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100 wt.%) deposits has been studied at 750°C in air. The result shows that weight-gain kinetics in simple oxidation reveals a steady-state parabolic rate law after 3 hr, while the kinetics with salt deposits all display multi-stage growth rates. The corrosion morphology of the alloy with 100% Na₂SO₄ coating is similar to that of simple oxidation. NaCl acts as the predominant corrosion species for Fe-Mn-Al-C alloy, inhibiting the formation of a protective oxide scale. For the alloy coated with over 50% NaCl in salts, NaCl induces selective oxidation of manganese and results in the formation of secondary ferrite in the alloy substrate as well as void-layers with different densities of voids layer by layer in the secondary-ferrite zone.
