Changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-7Si-(Fe) alloys by low temperature working have been investigated.
The size and shape of eutectic Si and intermetallic AlSiFe compound were controlled by the low temperature working process.
This process consisted of repeated cold working at 77 K and recovery treatment at 793 K. By applying this process to the Al-7Si-1Fe
alloy, the eutectic Si and acicular Fe compound(β-AlSiFe) phases were broken down to the size of 2-3 μm, with spherical shape.
The refined particles were uniformly distributed, and a fine microstructure was obtained. The strength and elongation of Al-7Si-1Fe
alloy increased as the temperature was lowered due to the microstructural refinement. This elongation was well reflected in
the fracture surface. 相似文献
In this study, the effects of processing parameters on the mechanical properties of injection molded thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) foams are investigated. Closed cell TPO foams were prepared by injection molding process. The microstructure of these foamed samples was controlled by carefully altering the processing parameters on the injection molding machine. The foam morphologies were characterized in terms of skin thickness, surface roughness, and relative foam density. Tensile properties and impact resistance of various injection molded TPO samples were correlated with various foam morphologies. The findings show that the mechanical properties are significantly affected by foam morphologies. The experimental results obtained from this study can be used to predict the microstructure and mechanical properties of cellular injection molded TPO foams prepared with different processing parameters.
The effects of trace addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) on thermal reliabilities of Sn-0.5Ag-0.7Cu/Cu solder joints were investigated. Experimental results showed that trace addition of Al2O3 NPs could increase the isotheraml aging (IA) and thermal cyclic (TC) lifetimes of Sn-0.5Ag-0.7Cu/Cu joint from 662 to 787 h, and from 1597 to 1824 cycles, respectively. Also, trace addition of Al2O3 NPs could slow down the shear force reduction of solder joint during thermal services, which was attributed to the pinning effect of Al2O3 NPs on hindering the growth of grains and interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs). Theoretically, the growth coefficients of interfacial IMCs in IA process were calculated to be decreased from 1.61×10-10 to 0.79×10-10 cm2/h in IA process, and from 0.92×10-10 to 0.53×10-10 cm2/h in TC process. This indicated that trace addition of Al2O3 NPs can improve both IA and TC reliabilities of Sn-0.5Ag- 0.7Cu/Cu joint, and a little more obvious in IA reliability. 相似文献
The mechanical performances such as tensile strength and blast property of metal lined SiC/SiC composite cladding tubes were investigated. Nb or Ta was selected as liner material, and the SiC/SiC composite layer was fabricated by winding and different precursor impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) processes. The tensile strengths of different tube samples were measured at room temperature (RT) and 1200 °C, respectively. The blast property was investigated through the maximum water pressure of tubes. And the fracture microstructures were observed by SEM. The highest tensile strength at RT was 150.7 MPa. The blast strength was enhanced with the PIP process increasing from 1 to 4 cycles and the tube of 4 PIP cycles had the highest water pressure of 34.7 MPa. Compared with the metal tubes, the multi-layer structure improved tensile and blast properties significantly. The different processes such as PIP cycles and pyrolytic carbon (PyC) coating were important factors to enhance the mechanical performances of SiC/SiC-based tubes. However, the retention rate of tensile strength was only 18.5% at 1200 °C. 相似文献
