Peculiarities of erosion-corrosion processes

Investigations have been carried out on an erosion-corrosion apparatus to investigate the behaviour of corrosion-resistant highalloy iron-base materials containing hard phases. These materials had been optimized for increased wear resistance under complex stress conditions. As expected, in dry erosion tests, very low mass losses were established; there was little difference between the materials. Also, in corrosive environments (NaCl, H₂SO₄), the materials showed good stability; however, the duplex structures were superior to the martensitic ones. The combination of erosion and corrosion produced large differences and, in some cases, markedly reduced resistance to damage. These results confirmed observations that it is impossible to deduce the environmentally influenced mechanical behaviour of an alloy from its behaviour in separate corrosion and erosion experiments. The basic mechanisms underlying these processes have been investigated only tentatively.     

ESR Refining Potential for Titanium Alloys using a CaF2‐based Active Slag

Since the end of the Cold War and due to the needs to produce titanium more cost‐efficient and thus more attractive for its civilian use, the electroslag remelting (ESR) process has become an increasingly important topic of international research programmes, because titanium and titanium aluminides can be chemically refined by ESR in some degree. Using ESR, titanium turnings from machining steps and scrap from foundries can be remelted, refined and provided as secondary titanium for the market at relatively favourable prices. This article investigates the removability of the main impurities out of titanium and titanium‐aluminium alloys by electroslag remelting using the active slag system CaF₂‐Ca‐(CaO). Thermochemical and kinetic aspects of the ESR process are considered.

含钡合金的生产及其对钢液脱氧行为的研究

介绍了含钡合金的生产状况。在MoSi2炉上对钢管钢进行了含钡合金脱氧行为的研究，然后在150tLF／VD精炼设备上进行了使用含钡合金的工业试验。研究中主要选取SiAlBa、SiCaBa、SiAlBaCa、SiAlBaCaSr及用于钙处理的SiCa包芯线，并选用Al和FeSiAl作为对比脱氧剂，分别考察了实验室条件下和实际生产过程中，采用钡系合金对钢液脱氧的全氧含量，脱氧产物的分布、尺寸和形貌，探讨了钡系合金脱氧和对夹杂物的变质作用的机理。     

不同磁场作用对AZ31镁合金的凝固组织的影响

镁合金是具有优越性能的金属材料,镁合金的加工是目前国内外正在深入进行研究的新课题.实验发现在镁合金的凝固过程中施加低频或静态磁场都能细化晶粒,但静磁场得到的细化效果要优于低频交流磁场,同时随磁感应强度的增加,静磁场细化晶粒的效果明显提高;在静磁场条件下晶界共晶体组织的厚度明显减小,同时在晶内出现了大量细小块状化合物,这有利于改善镁合金的综合性能.     

自蔓延高温合成TiNi多孔体合金

为了开发新型的生体材料，本文对自蔓延高温合成TiNi多孔体合金——人造骨材料进行了研究。以单质钛粉和镍粉作原料，在氩气保护条件下，采用预热点燃模式和热爆模式制得了不同形态的多孔TiNi形状记忆合金。采用SEM和XRD分析了样品的孔洞特征和相组成，测试了其力学性能，并研究了合成条件参数与样品表面形貌和孔隙状态之间的关系。结果表明，用SHS法制备TiNi多孔体合金是可行的。
