Semi-solid thixo casting structure of aluminum alloy and relevant assistant analysis with the help of computer simulation

The relationship between structure morphology of semi-solid aluminum alloy die-casting sample and filling condition was studied. By systematical structure analysis and computer simulation of the filling process, the quantitative relationship between microscopic morphology (such as solid fraction, grain size and shape) and formation state was studied. The results showed that the billet microstructure must have fine and round grains for the die-casting of complex shapes. It is necessary to optimize injection speeds to escape the non-uniform distribution of the solid fraction in complex and changeable mold cavity.

制备ZL201合金半固态坯料、将其二次加热、触变模锻成形以及成形件热处理,研究了工艺条件对成形件的组织和力学性能的影响.结果表明:采用近液相线半连续铸造技术制备的ZL201合金半固态坯料微观组织为大量细小的等轴晶和少量短程枝晶;在适当的工艺条件(在640℃保温5 min,模具温度250～300℃,留模时间10～15 s)下可触变成形出表面光洁的ZL201合金成形件;经过T5处理后,ZL201合金的抗拉强度达到278 MPa,延伸率达到9%,大大高于压铸成形件的性能,其强化相为CuAl2和TiAl3.由于成形速度高,溶体高速充型,造成成形件气孔率高,使ZL201合金半固态压铸成形的组织致密度不如半固态模锻成形件,这是半固态压铸件强度低、模锻件强度高的主要原因.

Dynamic texture perception in plant-based yogurt alternatives: Identifying temporal drivers of liking by TDS

As texture properties in novel food categories have a crucial role in consumer acceptance, mouthfeel profile of different plant-based yogurt-like semi-solid products were studied and compared to dairy yogurts. Mouthfeel properties of five plant-based yogurt-like products and two dairy yogurts were analyzed using temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) with consumers (n = 87). The attributes evaluated were thick, thin, creamy, watery, sticky, and foamy. Following TDS, overall liking and mouthfeel liking were evaluated using a 7-point hedonic scale. Temporal drivers of mouthfeel liking were studied using correspondence analysis and penalty-lift analysis with different time points during mastication. For penalty-lift analysis TDS data was analyzed as check-all-that-apply (CATA) data. Results from the present work show that mouthfeel perception in non-dairy yogurt alternatives is a dynamic process. Attributes typically used to describe dairy yogurts are also relevant for describing non-dairy yogurt alternatives. Yogurt alternatives and dairy yogurts can be similar and equally liked by their mouthfeel profile. Temporal drivers of liking in plant-based products are thickness and creaminess and temporal drivers of disliking are thinness and wateriness. In this study, the first dominant attributes were found to have a stronger impact on mouthfeel liking than the dominant attributes perceived later during mastication.     

中间合金及其状态对A356合金半固态浆料组织的影响

通过实验分析了采用A356合金粉末、纯铝粉末、Al-5Ti-B合金粉末和Al-5Ti—B变形合金进行细化处理对A356合金半固态浆料组织的影响。结果表明，在“熔体处理＋双向电磁搅拌”复合制备技术中，加入约0．15％、平均粒度为100μm的Al-5Ti-B合金粉末进行晶粒细化，可在1min左右制备出形状因子大于0．8、晶粒半径为80μm（空冷）A356合金半固态浆料；加入10％-15％的微米级纯铝粉末可取得与Al-5Ti-B变形合金相当的细化效果；而采用平均粒度为100μm的A356合金粉末进行固液混合铸造，不适合于A356合金半固态浆料的快速制备。     

ZL104铝合金连杆半固态挤压铸造工艺实验研究

研究了传统液态挤压铸造与半固态挤压铸造成形ZL104铝合金连杆的充填状态、微观组织及力学性能。结果表明:传统液态挤压铸造成形连杆充填饱满,但其抗拉强度及伸长率低于半固态挤压铸造成形连杆。对于半固态挤压铸造成形,浇注温度高于565℃时,铸件充填性能良好;平均晶粒尺寸及形状因子随浇注温度的升高而逐渐增大;连杆抗拉强度及伸长率先增加后减小。挤压压力高于25MPa时,铸件均充填饱满;挤压压力升高,平均晶粒尺寸不断减小且形状因子不断增大,连杆机械性能不断提高。模具预热温度升高,平均晶粒尺寸和形状因子不断增大,连杆机械性能逐渐提高。但当模具预热温度超过300℃时,平均晶粒尺寸进一步增大而其形状因子减小,导致连杆的机械性能下降。     

High temperature deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of wrought nickel-based superalloy GH4037 in solid and semi-solid states

Cylindrical samples of Ni-based GH4037 alloy were compressed at solid temperatures (1200, 1250 and 1300 °C) and semi-solid temperatures (1340, 1350, 1360, 1370 and 1380 °C) with different strain rates of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 s⁻¹. High temperature deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of GH4037 alloy were investigated. The results indicated that flow stress decreased rapidly at semi-solid temperatures compared to that at solid temperatures. Besides, the flow stress continued to increase after reaching the initial peak stress at semi-solid temperatures when the strain rate was 1 s⁻¹. With increasing the deformation temperature, the size of initial solid grains and recrystallized grains increased. At semi-solid temperatures, the grains were equiaxed, and liquid phase existed at the grain boundaries and inside the grains. Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) characterized by grain boundary bulging was the main nucleation mechanism for GH4037 alloy.     

Hot cracking tendency test and simulation of 7075 semi-solid aluminium alloy

The hot cracking tendency of 7075 semi-solid alloy under different conditions was studied by critical diameter method. The experiment and simulation results show that the dendrite arms of the rod grow from the edge to the center. The smaller the diameter of the rod is, the more obvious the directional growth of dendrite is, and the greater the tendency of hot cracking is. Compared with ordinary melt, for semi-solid slurry, increasing mould temperature or decreasing pouring temperature can significantly decrease hot cracking tendency of 7075 alloy, decreasing hot cracking grade from 256 to 100 mm². Furthermore, based on the RDG criterion, the effects of solidification conditions on the hot cracking tendency were discussed combined with simulation. At the same time, the application and development of RDG criterion were also researched.

以从机械加工现场直接收集的AZ91D镁合金屑料为原料,采用热压制工艺再生制备半固态加工所需的坯料,研究二次加热过程中的半固态组织演变。结果表明,半固态组织演变可分为三个阶段:Mg17Al12相的溶解和Al原子的扩散,高溶质含量区域的熔化和固相颗粒的生成,固相颗粒的球化和长大。同时,在固相颗粒内部形成大量的嵌入式液滴。这种嵌入式液滴的数量和尺寸随着保温时间的变化而变化。随着保温时间的延长,固、液两相最终达到动态平衡,固相率不再发生变化。由于界面能降低和界面张力的作用使固相颗粒尺寸逐渐增大,并且越来越圆整。
