Thixoforming of SiC ceramic matrix composites in pseudo-semi-solid state

1INTRODUCTIONIt has great economic profit to exploit the uti-lization of SiC ceramic material for its strength,hardness,wear resistance,corrosion resistanceand high temperature resistance,abundant re-source and low price.But the brittle charactergreatly restricts its application in the field of engi-neering structure materials.Recently a series ofceramic matrix composites with exi mious perform-ance have been developed by reinforcing the matrixmaterial with other materials.Al/SiC is a la…     

Effect of Zr content on quench sensitivity of AlZnMgCu alloys

The effect of Zr content on quench sensitivity of AlZnMgCu alloys was investigated by mechanical properties testing and microstructure observations. The results show that with the increase of Zr the quench sensitivity relative to hardness and strength increases, while that relative to elongation decreases. From hardness and strength viewpoints, the low quench sensitivity is observed for the Zr-free and 0.05% Zr-containing alloys, which is quite quench sensitive from the ductility viewpoint. The largest quench sensitivity relative to hardness and strength is observed for 0.1% Zr-containing alloy, this is mainly due to large amount of high angle grain boundaries and incoherent Al3Zr dispersoids caused by recrystallization, which may efficiently promote heterogeneous precipitation during air quenching. More than 0.05% Zr can significantly decrease the quench sensitivity relative to ductility, which can be primarily attributed to recrystallization inhibiting and grain refining effects of Zr.

固溶后预析出对7A55铝合金力学及腐蚀性能的影响

采用硬度测试、电导率测试及透射电镜观察，研究固溶后降温至440℃预析出处理时间对7A55铝合金板材力学和腐蚀性能的影响。结果表明：随预析出处理时间的延长，基体析出相逐渐增多且长大，导致合金时效后硬度和强度先提高而后降低；晶界析出相逐渐长大，晶界无沉淀析出带宽化，晶界相不连续性先提高而后降低，导致合金抗晶问腐蚀和剥落腐蚀性能也先升高而后降低。     

淬火介质对7055铝合金晶界析出行为的影响

采用透射电镜研究了淬火介质对7055铝合金晶界析出相及无沉淀析出带的影响。结果表明，空气淬火时，合金冷却过程在晶界上析出η平衡相。合金经室温水淬及沸水淬火合金时效后，晶界析出相尺寸差别小，呈链状连续分布；晶界无沉淀，析出带较窄，平均宽度分别约为33nm和43nm。空气淬火合金时效后晶界析出相尺寸差别较大，呈不连续分布；晶界无沉淀，析出带很宽，约102nm。对其原因进行了分析和讨论。     

Zn含量对Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金挤压棒材耐剥落腐蚀性能的影响

通过剥落腐蚀浸泡实验和极化曲线测试,研究了Zn含量对Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金挤压棒材耐剥落腐蚀性能的影响,结合金相显微镜、扫描电镜、扫描透射电镜等微观组织表征方法对影响机理进行了分析和讨论。结果表明:Zn含量(质量分数)由7.93%增至9.85%时,棒材剥落腐蚀抗力下降,剥落腐蚀等级由EA变成EC,最大腐蚀深度由334 μm增至579 μm。Zn含量增加,合金中粗大第二相数量增加,时效后晶界η相尺寸和间距变小、Zn和Mg含量增加,是耐剥落腐蚀性能下降的主要原因。

Cu含量对Al-9.0Zn-1.5Mg-xCu合金断裂韧性的影响

采用Kahn撕裂实验,结合金相、扫描电镜、扫描透射电镜、数字图像相关法和电子背散射衍射等手段,研究了Cu含量对Al-9.0Zn-1.5Mg-x Cu合金断裂韧性的影响规律。结果表明：随着Cu含量从0%增大到2.6%(质量分数),合金断裂韧性先逐渐增大,在Cu含量为1.0%～1.3%时达到最高值,而后大幅减小。随着Cu含量从0%增大到1.0%～1.3%,合金的再结晶晶粒面积分数逐渐增大,导致裂纹形核过程的变形量和穿过再结晶晶粒扩展的比例增大;裂纹单位面积形核功(UIE)和单位面积扩展功(UPE)逐渐增大。Cu含量为2.6%时,合金残余第二相的面积分数、晶界上部分η相的尺寸增大,导致裂纹形核过程的变形量减小;η′强化相的间距减小,导致晶内-晶界强度差和裂纹沿再结晶晶界扩展的比例明显增大;UIE和UPE均大幅减小。     

断续时效对Al-Zn-Mg-Cu铝合金厚板力学性能和局部耐腐蚀性能的影响

本文研究了一种7XXX系铝合金厚板T6I76、T73和T6三种时效状态的硬度、室温拉伸和电导率,并采用晶间腐蚀、剥落腐蚀、极化曲线和交流阻抗测试方法研究了其局部耐腐蚀性能。结果表明：T6I76试样的强度和硬度与T6试样的相当,但局部耐腐蚀性能明显增强,且优于T6试样和T73试样的。T6I76试样经过预时效、淬火和低温长时间时效处理后,晶内沉淀强化相(η′相)特征与T6试样相似,但强度更大;与T73试样相比,T6I76试样的η相中Cu含量更高、Zn含量更低、间距更大,且晶界附近无沉淀析出带宽度更窄,这能有效地阻断沿晶阳极溶解通道,得到更好的局部耐腐蚀性能。     

7050铝合金的TTP曲线

通过分级淬火方法获得7050铝合金的时间-温度-性能(TTP)曲线.结果表明:合金TTP曲线的鼻尖温度为330 ℃,淬火敏感温度区间为240～420 ℃;等温保温时,过饱和固溶体分解析出第二相粒子,在330 ℃附近,第二相(主要为η平衡相)的析出速率达到最高;随着时间的延长,晶内η相数量增加、尺寸变大,时效后粒子周围出现无沉淀析出区,导致强化效果显著降低;晶界处η相粒子粗化,由不连续分布形貌转变为连续分布形貌,无沉淀析出带宽化;鼻尖温度的高相变驱动力和较快的扩散速率是η相析出和长大的主要原因,建议在淬火敏感区间应加快淬火冷却速率避免平衡相的析出,而高于淬火敏感区间温度时可适当降低冷却速率减小热应力的影响.
