Material flow and microstructure in the friction stir butt welds of the same and dissimilar aluminum alloys

The material flow and microstructural evolution in the friction stir welds of a 6061-Al alloy to itself and of a 6061-Al alloy to 2024-Al alloy plates of 12.7 mm in thickness were studied under different welding conditions. The results showed that plastic deformation, flow, and mechanical mixing of the material exhibit distinct asymmetry characteristics at both sides of the same and dissimilar welds. The microstructure in dissimilar 6061-Al/2024-Al welds is significantly different from that in the welds of a 6061-Al alloy to itself. Vortex-like structures featured by the concentric flow lines for a weld of 6061-Al alloy to itself, and alternative lamellae with different alloy constituents for a weld of 6061-Al to 2024-Al alloy, are attributed to the stirring action of the threaded tool, in situ extrusion, and traverse motion along the welding direction. The mutual mixing in the dissimilar metal welds is intimate and far from complete. However, the bonding between the two Al-alloys is clearly complete. Three different regions in the nugget zone of dissimilar 6061-Al/2024-Al welds are classified by the mechanically mixed region (MMR) characterized by the relatively dispersed particles of different alloy constituents, the stirring-induced plastic flow region (SPFR) consisting of alternative vortex-like lamellae of the two Al-alloys, and the unmixed region (UMR) consisting of fine equiaxed grains of the 6061-Al alloy. Within all of these three regions, the material is able to withstand a very high degree of plastic deformation due to the presence of dynamic recovery or recrystallization of the microstructure. The degree of material mixing, the thickness of the deformed Al-alloy lamellae, and the material flow patterns depend on the related positions in the nugget zone and the processing parameters. Distinct fluctuations of hardness are found to correspond to the microstructural changes throughout the nugget zone of dissimilar welds.

不同变截面桩竖向承载特性的数值分析

基于现场试验,采用Abaqus有限元软件对等截面桩及变截面桩单桩竖向承载力测试实验过程进行数值模拟。结果表明:弹性变形阶段,竖向荷载-沉降曲线呈线性变化趋势,等截面桩比变截面桩桩身沉降较小;塑性屈服阶段,等截面桩与变截面桩单桩承载力几乎一致。变截面位置对桩侧摩阻力沿深度的分布有一定影响,最大侧摩阻力位置根据变截面的位置而变化。变截面桩的平均侧摩阻力较等截面桩的平均侧摩阻力大,变截面桩侧摩阻力效果较等截面桩更有优势。在相同承载力条件下,变截面桩所耗费的材料较等截面少,对于竖向承载特性,变截面桩与等截面桩表现基本一致,因此使用变截面桩能节约工程成本。     

Effect of SiC nanowhisker addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of regenerated cemented carbides by low-pressure sintering

The hardness and toughness of regenerated cemented carbides, in general, are contradictory. Therefore, it is critical to explore regenerated cemented carbides with both high hardness and high toughness. In this study, regenerated WC-8-wt% Co cemented carbide with SiC nanowhisker were prepared by low-pressure sintering. The influence of SiCw contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties of regenerated WC-8-wt% Co cemented carbide was investigated. The results indicated that the hardness, density, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of regenerated cemented carbide first increased and then decreased with the addition of SiCw. The Vickers hardness, density, flexural strength, and fracture toughness could reach 1575 HV, 14.6 g/cm³, 2204 MPa, 16.85 MPa·m^1/2, respectively, with SiCw content 0.5 wt%, which were increased by 14.4%, 0.7%, 12.2%, and 17.3%, respectively, when compared with the regenerated cemented carbide without SiCw. The lowest friction coefficient and the best wear resistance could be also reached when 0.5-wt% SiCw was added. The fracture mechanism of the regenerated cemented carbide contained both transgranular and intergranular fracture through the microscopic observation of fracture surface via scanning electron microscope.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERNAL FRICTION AND MODULUS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION-TYPE PHASE TRANSFORMATION IN EUTECTOID Al-Zn ALLOY

The characteristics of the low frequency internal friction and the modulus effect associatedwith the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation and the following discontinuous trans-formation was investigated in an as-quenched eutectiod Al-Zn alloy.It was observed that theloss of the stability in the lattice,which corresponded to the large-amplitude long-wavelengthstatic concentration wave in the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation,did not induceany effect of localized soft modulus.Although there are two aging internal friction peaks inphase transformation which correspond to the appearance and disappearance of the coherencyin spinodal pretransformation and the maximum of the interface area in the discontinuoustransformation respectively,the effect of localized soft modulus did not take place yet.
