Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of wire-arc additively manufactured Al-Cu alloy

Wire-arc additive manufacture(WAAM)has great potential for manufacturing of Al-Cu components.However,inferior mechanical properties of WAAM deposited material restrict its industrial application.Inter-layer cold rolling and thermo-mechanical heat treatment(T8)with pre-stretching deformation between solution and aging treatment were adopted in this study.Their effects on hardness,mechanical properties and microstructure were analyzed and compared to the conventional heat treatment(T6).The results show that cold rolling increases the hardness and strengths,which further increase with T8 treatment.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of 513 MPa and yield stress(YS)of 413 MPa can be obtained in the inter-layer cold-rolled sample with T8 treatment,which is much higher than that in the as-deposited samples.The cold-rolled samples show higher elongation than that of as-deposited ones due to significant elimination of porosity in cold rolling;while both the T6 and T8 treatments decrease the elongation.The cold rolling and pre-stretching deformation both contribute to the formation of dense and dispersive precipitatedθ′phases,which inhibits the dislocation movement and enhances the strengths;as a result,T8 treatment shows better strengthening effect than the T6 treatment.The strengthening mechanism was analyzed and it was mainly related to work hardening and precipitation strengthening.

猪NARS2基因变异与硒都黑猪胴体和肉质性状的关联分析

在硒都黑猪群体中发现猪NARS2基因第9内含子中存在g.101284 C>T突变位点,采用PCR产物直接测序法进行基因分型后,与23个胴体和肉质类性状表型进行关联分析。结果表明,NASR2基因g.101284 C>T位点极显著影响猪胴体皮厚(P<0.01),且显著影响猪肉眼肌面积、滴水损失48 h和肌内脂肪含量性状(P<0.05)。CC基因型个体皮厚极显著低于TT基因型个体(P<0.01);CC基因型个体滴水损失48 h和肌内脂肪含量显著高于其他基因型个体,而TT基因型个体胴体眼肌面积显著小于其他基因型个体(P<0.05)。而这4个性状中,除皮厚与眼肌面积性状不存在显著相关外,其他各性状之间存在一定程度的相关性。其中,滴水损失48 h与肌内脂肪含量性状相关性最高(r2=0.882,P<0.01)。因此,该标记在育种应用中应当结合育种目标合理利用,针对不同主选性状,选留或淘汰不同基因型个体。
