Martensitic nucleation mechanism

A sort of special dislocation configuration was deformation-induced in an Fe-Ni-V-C alloy by in-situ elongation tests of TEM. The cooling in-situ observations, as well as the SADPs from the region of the special dislocation configurations, proved that they are martensitic nuclei. In martensitic transformation, a nucleus changed into a small martensitic sub-plate, and a group of parallel sub-plates that formed from a group of parallel nuclei made up a big martensitic plate Martensitic transformation involved opposite shear between adjacent martensitic nuclei. By using the reduced-cell method, the crystallographic structure of observed martensitic nuclei was indexed as a face-centered orthogonal (FCO) lattice, which was explained by the nucleation mechanism proposed by the present authors. The crystallographic analysis confirmed that the defect faulting involved in martensitic nucleation took place among three close pakked planes, instead of between two adjacent planes as an ordinary stacking fault.     

A study of the influence of grain boundaries on short crack growth during varying load using a dislocation technique

The propagation of short cracks in the neighbourhood of grain boundaries have been investigated using a technique were the crack is modelled by distributed dislocation dipoles and the plastic deformation is represented by discrete dislocations. Discrete dislocations are emitted from the crack tip as the crack grows. Dislocations can also nucleate at the grain boundaries. The influence on crack growth characteristics of the distance between the initial crack tip and the grain boundary has been studied. It was found that crack growth rate is strongly correlated to the dislocation pile-ups at the grain boundaries.     

Preparation of AZ91D Slurries for Semi-Solid Forming Using Al8 ( Mn, Fe) 5 Precipitates

During the solidification of the AZ91D-alloys, the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 phase is generally precipitated in the melt in advance of the precipitation of the primary α-Mg. The basic principle for manufacturing AZ91D-alloy slurries for semi solid forming is to use the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitates as the heterogeneous nucleation sites for primary α-Mg phases. Microscopic analysis for the location of the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitate explains that the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitate is the effective heterogeneous nucleation site for the primary α-Mg phase. It was also observed that increase of the Mn content in the melt and the cooling rate below to the solid/liquid two-phase region resulted in smaller and more globular primary α-Mg due to the increase of heterogeneous nucleation sites. It was found that the average α-Mg diameter grew as a function of t0.278, where t is the holding time at the solid/liquid two-phase region. This would be attributed to the Ostwald type ripening and coalescence between primary α-Mg phases. The cooling rate below to the solid/liquid two-phase region, Mn content in AZ91D alloy, and the holding time and temperature affected on the quality of slurry.

二元冰蓄冷系统中的纳米添加剂成核特性研究

为了获得蓄冰溶液中纳米成核添加剂的选择标准,选择在纯净水和乙二醇溶液两种不同的基体溶液中添加两类不同的纳米微粒（SiO₂和α-Al₂O₃）进行实验,观察得到了不同的成核效果.以相关润湿机理为基础,对实验结果进行初步分析后表明:不同质量分数的添加剂具有不同的成核效果;当纳米微粒添加到乙二醇溶液中时,由于两者润湿效果较差,从而导致微粒成核效果下降,混合溶液过冷解除温度下降,增加制冰能耗,因此添加剂颗粒与基体溶液的润湿性将严重影响其结冰成核效果,润湿性能越好,成核效果越好．     

Mechanism and Inhibition of Grain Coarsening of Al-Mg-Si Alloy in Hot Forming

A high-Ti 6061 alloy was rolled with strains up to 0.8-2.0 and at 350-550 ℃. Microstructures that developed during deformation and subsequent solution heat treatment (SHT) were observed by using optical and transmission electron microscopy. Microstructure evolution during SHT depends mainly on the initial rolling temperature, and it was found that the higher this temperature is, the coarser the grains are. After rolling at 400 ℃, well-defined cells and subgrains were formed, which induced further sites for recrystallization nucleation during subsequent SHT. The recrystallization mechanism was found to be subgrain rotation, with a final grain size smaller than 200 μm. Increasing the rolling temperature to 500 ℃ results in a low density of dislocations distributed uniformly in the deformed matrix and fewer nucleation sites during subsequent SHT. The recrystallization mechanism is grain boundary bulging, while the final grain size approaches several millimeters. Finally, a hot forming process of high-Ti 6061 alloy for inhibiting grain coarsening was proposed, and verified by experiments.     

退火工艺对冷轧高强IF钢组织及织构的影响

为了观察高强IF钢退火处理后的显微组织和再结晶织构的变化规律,采用两种不同退火工艺对高强IF钢进行热处理。结果表明,IF钢在两种退火方式下均形成了γ-{111}纤维织构,快速升温(350℃/min)退火时,再结晶新核呈等轴状,由变形带内的亚晶合并形成,与冷轧变形基体保持相同取向。慢速升温(2℃/min)退火时,新核在晶界弓出形成,且沿轧制方向呈饼形分布,与基体没有明显取向关系。慢速升温退火样品的γ-{111}取向密度强于快速升温的。对进一步改善薄板钢深冲性能具有指导作用。
