超高强7055铝合金铸锭均匀化工艺优化

采用光学显微镜、扫描电镜、差热分析及透射电镜等手段,对一种航空用超高强7055铝合金大尺寸铸锭的均匀化工艺进行分析与优化。提出分级提高均匀化温度的方法,在确保不发生过烧的情况下,最大限度改善铸锭质量。结果显示:低温预均匀化时,铸锭中析出大量的Al₃Zr相,能够大幅度降低对后续挤压变形的再结晶比例;对铸锭采用400 ℃×4 h+465 ℃×16 h+474 ℃×8 h的分级均匀化处理工艺,能够显著消除铸锭中低熔点相的含量,提高铸锭质量,同时相比于原工艺节省约13 h。新的均匀化处理工艺,不仅提高了生产效率,还能够为后续工艺提供良好的铸锭。     

中间退火对Al-Mg-Si系铝合金汽车板组织和性能的影响

对Al-Mg-Si系铝合金汽车板进行了不同的中间退火处理(无中间退火、300 ℃×2 h、420 ℃×2 h),并利用光学显微镜、XRD、TEM、拓扑仪、拉伸试验机对板材进行了检测分析。结果表明,中间退火处理对T4P态板材的微观组织、织构、罗平纹和力学性能影响显著,提高中间退火温度有利于获得等轴晶粒、增大应变硬化指数(n值)、降低板材各向异性(Δr值),但塑性应变比(r值)也会有所降低。此外,经过300 ℃×2 h中间退火处理的板材在10%预拉伸后表现出最好的表面质量,无中间退火和420 ℃×2 h中间退火处理的板材在预拉伸后罗平纹缺陷严重。这主要归因于中间退火引发的板材微观组织和织构的差异。300 ℃×2 h的中间退火处理可以使Al-Mg-Si系铝合金板材在不降低力学性能的前提下显著改善罗平纹,表现出最佳的综合性能。     

热力学模拟优化高强耐蚀7150合金成分

探讨了7150铝合金的凝固路径并研究了传统7150合金中主合金元素配比对MgZn2、Al2CuMg的生成温度及数量的变化规律。在满足耐蚀性的基础上,当主合金元素Zn含量在6.4%,Mg含量在2.4%,Cu含量在2.3%时,合金中非平衡凝固相MgZn2含量高于4.55%,而Al2CuMg相含量低于0.9%,既实现强化效果,又能够提高抗腐蚀性能。采用扫描电镜和热分析手段研究优化后的实验合金Al-6.4Zn-2.4Mg-2.3Cu结果与计算值基本保持一致。从实验合金的TTT和CCT曲线可以看出该合金的GP区、η′和η相鼻尖温度分别为140～160、320～340和360～380℃,其临界冷却速率不得低于20.2℃/s。     

均匀化退火对低Fe/Si 比Al-Mn合金微观组织演变的影响

本文主要研究了双辊轧制的低Fe/Si 比Al-Mn合金在不同均匀化处理过程中的微观组织演变情况。当对合金进行550℃/4h的均匀化处理时,合金表面的晶粒组织从典型的纤维组织转变成粗大的长条状再结晶晶粒组织。合金心部的晶粒组织则随着均匀化温度的升高而趋向于等轴化。当对合金进行450℃/4h和500℃/4h的均匀化处理时,粗大的初生相开始破碎,当均匀化温度升高至550℃时,破碎的初生相发生粗化。在450℃/4h和500℃/4h的均匀化处理条件下,弥散相在均匀化过程中的演变主要受形核和长大机制控制,而在550℃/4h的均匀化条件下,弥散相的粗化和回溶成为主要机制。当对合金进行500℃/4h处理时,大量细小的含Zr弥散相从过饱和固溶体中析出。     

The effect of paraffin on fiber dispersion and mechanical properties of polyolefin–sawdust composites

This article reports on the influence of the paraffin (PAR) on the wood fiber (WF) dispersion in different polyethylene (low‐density polyethylene, high‐density polyethylene, recycled polyethylene) matrices, as well as on the melt flow behavior and mechanical properties of WF‐reinforced polyethylene (PE) composites. In the presence of paraffin, the composites showed improved tensile and flexural strength and modulus, but lower impact strength and elongation at break. The extent of improvement in mechanical properties depends on paraffin content and type of polyethylene; the most effective paraffin was in LDPE‐based composites. Paraffin‐treated WF showed lower moisture absorption ability in comparison with unmodified wood fiber. The phase segregation process was investigated for PE/PAR blends by DSC method. It was shown that an increase of paraffin concentration in the PE/PAR blend leads to a decrease of PE melting temperature and an increase of paraffin melting temperature; it indicates a net exchange of material from paraffin towards polyethylene. However, generally both components of PE/PAR blends remain immiscible. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 2385–2393, 2004
