Evaluation of the reactivity of titanium with mould materials during casting

A methodology for evaluating the reactivity of titanium with mould materials during casting has been developed. Microhardness profiles and analysis of oxygen contamination have provided an index for evaluation of the reactivity of titanium. Microhardness profile delineates two distinct regions, one of which is characterised by a low value of hardness which is invariant with distance. The reaction products are uniformly distributed in the metal in this region. The second is characterised by a sharp decrease in microhardness with distance from the metal-mould interface. It represents a diffusion zone for solutes that dissolve into titanium from the mould. The qualitative profiles for contaminants determined by scanning electron probe microanalyser and secondary ion mass spectroscopy in the as-cast titanium were found to be similar to that of microhardness, implying that microhardness can be considered as an index of the contamination resulting from metal-mould reaction.     

REHEATING TEMPERATURE CONTRAST AND MICROSTRUCTURES OF 7075 Al ALLOY CAST BY LIQUIDUS SEMI-CONTINUOUS CASTING

In this study, reheating of liquidus semi-continuous cast billets of 7075 Al alloy was carried out in a resistance furnace, and the temperature contrast of the outer and the center of the reheated billets was investigated, then the reheating microstructures were investigated. Results show that: the difference of temperature between the outer and center is small and the difference of their microstructures are also small. During reheating at 576℃ the spheroidization of grains is significant after 5min and no rosettes are visible after 20min by optical microscopy. Similar observations were madeon materials reheated at 596℃, but the ripening process is faster. The grains growup to 30-60μm, fine enough for thixoforming.

Development of ultra light magnesium-lithium alloys

Magnesium-lithium alloys are among the lowest density metallic materials. Addition of lithium, with a relative density of 0·53, in magnesium reduces the density of the alloy significantly. Furthermore, addition of nearly 11 wt.% lithium converts hexagonal close packed structure of pure magnesium to a body centered cubic lattice, markedly improving formability of the alloy. The development of these alloys, however, had been hampered due to the high reactivity of lithium and magnesium in the molten state and also, due to poor creep resistance and instability of mechanical properties at room temperature. In an attempt to indigenize these ultra light alloys for possible applications in Indian satellite programme, detailed research work was initiated in DMRL. The difficulties associated with producing sound cast ingots have been overcome by controlling melting and casting parameters of these alloys. Extensive work has been done on structure-property correlation of alloys with varying lithium content and minor alloying additions. Based on these work, advanced magnesium-lithium alloys have been developed with improved tensile properties, room temperature stability and creep resistance. Wrought products (plates/sheets) of magnesium-lithium alloy have been supplied to ISAC, Bangalore and are being used in their INSAT-2 programme. This paper describes the systematic studies carried out in the laboratory to indigenize these ultra light alloys.
