Deposition of cerium contained conversion films on LC4 alloy with square wave pulse method

Cerium contained conversion films were deposited on LC4 aluminum alloy using square wave pulse (SWP) in aCeCl3 solution with KMnO4 as the oxidant. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were adopted to study the composition and the morphology of the film. It is found that the film is composed of Al, Zn, Cu,and small amount of cerium. The polarization curves of the specimens treated with SWP technique measured in 3.5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution reveal that the film thus formed inhibits both the anodic and cathodic process of the corrosion of the specimen. The immersion tests of treated specimens in 3.5% NaCl solution indicate that the corrosion resistance of the SWP treated specimen is better than that of the untreated and is equivalent to or even better than that of the traditionally electro-chemically treated specimens.     

High cycle fatigue and fracture behavior of 2124-T851 aluminum alloy

The high cycle fatigue properties and fracture behavior of 2124-T851 aluminum alloy were investigated roundly, including the fatigue crack growth rate, fracture toughness and fatigue S--N curve. Furthermore, the fatigue crack growth rate was analyzed by fitting the curves. And the microstructure of the alloy was studied using by optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscop1/2 The results show that the fatigue strength and the fracture toughness of 2124-T851 thick plate are 243 MPa and 29.6 MPa.m at room temperature and R=0. 1, respectively. At high cycle fatigue condition, the characteristics of fatigue facture were observed obviously. And the higher the stress amplitude, the wider the space between the fatigue striations, the faster the rate of fatigue crack developing and going into the intermittent fracture area and the greater the ratio between the intermittent fracture area and the whole fracture area.     

Effect of heat treatment on thermal stability of Ti40 alloy

Five new heat treatment processes were designed, which were divided into three groups by their characteristics. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the alloy after the five heat treatments and thermal exposure at 500, 550℃ for 100 h were tested. The results indicate that a little differences exist in the performance of mechanical properties at room-temperature after the five heat treatments, and the thermal stability is the key factor for determining heat treatment process. Among the three groups of heat treatment processes, the best thermal stability is achieved after the first group of heat treatment. After annealing treatment at intermediate temperature, some defects and uneven grain boundaries are remained, which leads to the reduction fractions of precipitations on unit grain boundary and the harmful effect of precipitations on grain boundary is weakened. The process of annealing at 650 ℃for 4 h is recommended the best heat treatment process for Ti40 alloy.     

真空熔炼AZ91镁合金过程中Mg元素的蒸发行为

在真空Ar气氛中熔炼AZ91镁合金，测定了不同精炼温度下Mg元素的蒸发速率。结果表明，随着精炼温度的升高，Mg元素的蒸发量增大。通过计算可知，Mg的蒸气压是Al的10^9倍，是Zn的46倍，因此主要是Mg的蒸发而导致合金其他元素含量升高。XRD分析表明，蒸发物是Mg元素。结合Mg元素的蒸发机制，在该试验条件下推导出Mg元素蒸发率的计算公式以及Mg元素的表观传质系数、蒸发率与精炼温度的关系，计算得出Mg元素蒸发率为0．86×10^-3-1．35×10^3g／cm^2·s，Mg元素的表观传质系数在2×10^-5-24×10^-5cm／s范围内。
