Modeling of severe deformation and mechanical properties in Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy through asymmetric hot-extrusion

One-pass asymmetric hot extrusion performed at 673 K was applied to fabricate an AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet.Finite element method(FEM) was used to model the process of asymmetric hot-extrusion.Simulation results indicate that strain rate gradient through the thickness introduced a grain size gradient along the thickness direction and shear deformation during the asymmetric hot-extrusion results in weakened and tilted(0002) basal texture.The asymmetric hot extrusion effectively weakens the basal texture and improves the ductility at room temperature.

激光增材制造98M合金的微观组织

采用激光增材制造技术(LEN)和传统定向凝固技术(DZ)制备98M镍基高温合金,通过OM,SEM,EDS,XRD,EPMA,DTA等方法分析比较合金的枝晶形态、微观组织、凝固特征温度、元素偏析情况。结果表明,LEN98M合金的一次枝晶间距约为70μm,仅为传统铸造合金DZ98M的1/5,二次枝晶不发达。在枝晶尺度范围内LEN98M合金存在更加明显的偏析行为,γ?相尺寸大且形态不规则,无碳化物析出,枝晶间共晶为尺寸小更加分散的γ?块状。
