一种提高镁合金零部件抗火焰蔓延性的尺寸设计类判据

基于能量守恒定律提出了一种用于预测棒状镁合金样品火焰蔓延时间的判据,该判据表明火焰蔓延时间主要受合金材料和样品尺寸影响。控制体的初始温度和起燃温度以及样品的S/l_c比值(样品横截面面积/横截面周长)是火焰蔓延时间的决定性因素。火焰蔓延时间正比于ΔH(将单位质量的样品从初始温度加热到起燃温度所需的能量)和S/l_c比值,这在Mg-8.5Al-0.5Zn-0.2Mn、Mg-2.7Nd-0.4Zn-0.6Zr和Mg-4.0Y-3.3Nd-0.5Zr镁合金中得到验证。对于尺寸相同的样品,Mg-8.5Al-0.5Zn-0.2Mn合金样品有着最大的ΔH以及最长的火焰蔓延时间;对于材质、长度和横截面面积相同的样品,圆形横截面样品的S/lc比值最大,其抗火焰蔓延性能也最佳。

退火工艺对生物可降解JDBM镁合金丝材力学性能与降解行为的影响

Mg−Nd−Zn−Zr生物可降解镁合金(JDBM)作为一种生物医用材料得到了广泛的关注和研究。为了加工高质量的JDBM丝材,通过显微镜观察、拉伸试验和浸没试验研究退火对拉拔后JDBM线材力学性能和降解行为的影响。对于直径为3 mm的挤压态合金丝,室温拉拔加工最多可连续进行9道次而无需退火,累积拉伸变形为125%。对拉拔后的合金丝分别在325℃退火30 min、350℃退火5 min或450℃退火3 min后发生完全再结晶。室温拉伸试验和模拟体液浸没试验结果表明,在稍高的温度下进行短时间退火后,由于晶粒细小和沉淀物的分散分布,合金丝可以获得更好的性能。在本研究中,在350℃下退火5 min是拉拔后最佳的退火参数,可用于进一步制造更细的合金丝材。

Effects of rotating gas bubble stirring treatment on the microstructures of semi-solid AZ91-2Ca alloy

In this study,the effect of rotating gas bubble stirring treatment on the microstructures of semi-solid AZ91-2Ca alloy was investigated.The semi-solid slurry was produced by injecting fine gas bubbles into the melt through a rotating steel diffuser during solidification,and the samples of semi-solid slurry were taken by the rapid quenching method.The results show that fine and sphericalα-Mg particles can be obtained under rotating gas bubble stirring treatment.The process parameters such as gas flow rate,cooling rate and rotation speed have significant influence on the morphology of primary solid particles.After rotating gas bubble stirring treatment,the higher the particle density,the finer and rounder the primaryα-Mg particles.The formation of numerous solid particles is due to the combination mechanisms of copious nucleation and dendrite fragmentation.

Influence of Nd and Y additions on the corrosion behaviour of extruded Mg-Zn-Zr alloys

To improve the corrosion resistance of wrought magnesium alloys through rare earth （RE） additions, the corrosion behaviour of Mg-5Zn-0.3Zr-xNd （x=0, 1, and 2; wt%） and Mg-5Zn-0.3Zr-2Nd-yY （y=0.5 and 1; wt%） alloys in a 5wt% NaCl solution was investigated using immersion test and electrochemical measurements. The results of immersion test show that Mg-5Zn-0.3Zr-2Nd alloy exhibits the best corrosion resistance among the tested alloys. Electrochemical measurements show that secondary phases in RE-containing Mg-5Zn-0.3Zr alloys behave as less noble cathodes in micro-galvanic corrosion and suppress the cathodic process. The additions of Nd and Y into Mg-5Zn-0.3Zr alloy also improve the compactness of the corrosion product film and are beneficial to the corrosion resistance.

Effect of heat treatment on corrosion behavior of low pressure sand cast Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloys

The corrosion behaviors of low-pressure sand cast Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr(wt.%) alloys in as-cast, solution treated(T4) and aged(T6) conditions were studied by means of immersion test and electrochemical measurements in 5wt.% NaCl solution saturated with Mg(OH)_2. It was observed that the corrosion rate in the T4 condition was lower than that of the as-cast and T6 conditions by both sand casting and permanent mold casting with the same order of as-cast>T6>T4; while the corrosion resistance of the permanent mold casting is superior to the sand casting. The morphologies of the corrosion products are similar porous structures consisting of tiny erect flakes perpendicular to the corroded surface of the alloy, irrespective of the heat treatment conditions. Especially, the corrosion film in T4 condition is more compact than that in the other two conditions. In addition, the severer corrosion happening to the as-cast condition is correlated with the galvanic corrosion between the matrix and the eutectic compounds; while improved corrosion resistance for the T4 and T6 conditions is ascribed to the dissolution of the secondary eutectic compounds. The measured corrosion current densities of Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloys in as-cast, T4, and T6 conditions are 36 μA?cm^(-2), 10 μA?cm^(-2), and 33 μA?cm^(-2), respectively. The proposed equivalent circuit [Rs(CPE_1(R_t(R_fCPE_2))] by Zview software matches well with the tested electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS) data.

Hot tearing behavior of NZ30K Mg alloy under progressive solidification

Progressive solidification is usually considered an effective strategy to reduce the hot tearing susceptibility of a cast component.In this study,special constrained plate castings with progressive changes in cross-section were designed,which enabled progressive solidification.The hot tearing behavior of a newly developed NZ30 K Mg alloy(Mg-3.0 Nd-0.2 Zn-Zr,wt.%)was studied under progressive solidification using various mold temperature distributions and constraint lengths.Of these,a homogeneous mold temperature distribution is found to be the best option to avoid hot tearing,followed by a local low mold temperature distribution(with a chiller),then a gradient mold temperature distribution.Unexpectedly,compared with the homogeneous mold temperature distribution,adding a chiller does not provide any further reduction in the hot tearing susceptibility of the NZ30 K Mg alloy.A high mold temperature and a short constraint length increase the hot tearing resistance of cast Mg alloys.Progressive solidification is not a sufficient and necessary condition to avoid the formation of hot tearing.The two key factors that determine the occurrence of hot tearing under progressive solidification are the maximum cooling rate and the constraint length.Decreasing these values can reduce the incidence of hot tearing.

Ideal strength of Mg_(2)X(X¼Si,Ge,Sn and Pb)from first-principles

First-principles calculations within generalized gradient approximation have been performed to investigate ideal strengths of anti-fluorite structured Mg_(2)X(X¼Si,Ge,Sn and Pb)compounds.The present calculations showed that the ideal tensile strengths of Mg_(2)X occur in the[111]directions while the ideal shear strengths appear in the(111)[11-2]systems.Both ideal tensile strength and shear strength of Mg_(2)X(X¼Si,Ge,Sn and Pb)decreased gradually with the increase of atomic number of X.The microscopic process and inherent mechanisms of mechanical properties were discussed from the evolution of electronic structures during strain.

Effects of Solution Treatment on the Microstructure,Tensile Properties,and Impact Toughness of an Al–5.0Mg–3.0Zn–1.0Cu Cast Alloy

This study investigates the eff ect of solution treatment(at 470°C for 0–48 h)on the microstructural evolution,tensile properties,and impact properties of an Al–5.0Mg–3.0Zn–1.0Cu(wt%)alloy prepared by permanent gravity casting.The results show that the as-cast microstructure consists ofα-Al dendrites and a network-like pattern of T-Mg32(AlZnCu)49 phases.Most of the T-phases were dissolved within 24 h at 470℃;and a further prolonging of solution time resulted in a rapid growth ofα-Al grains.No transformation from the T-phase to the S-Al2CuMg phase was discovered in this alloy.Both the tensile properties and impact toughness increased quickly,reached a maximum peak value,and decreased gradually as the solution treatment proceeded.The impact toughness is more closely related to the elongation,and the relationship between impact toughness and elongation appears to obey an equation:IT=8.43 EL-3.46.After optimal solution treatment at 470℃for 24 h,this alloy exhibits excellent mechanical properties with the ultimate tensile strength,yield strength,elongation and impact toughness being 431.6 MPa,270.1 MPa,19.4%and 154.7 kJ/m^(2),which are comparable to that of a wrought Al–6.0 Mg–0.7 Mn alloy(5E06,a 5 xxx aluminum alloy).Due to its excellent comprehensive combination of mechanical properties,this cast alloy has high potential for use in components which require medium strength,high ductility and high toughness.

Effect of Cooling Rate on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Sand-Casted Al-5.OMg-0.6Mn-0.25Ce Alloy

This study examines the relationship among cooling rate,microstructure and mechanical properties of a sand-casted Al-5.0 Mg-0.6 Mn-0.25 Ce(wt%)alloy subjected to T4 heat treatment(430℃×12 h+natural aging for 5 days),and the tested alloys with wall thickness varying from 5 to 50 mm were prepared.The results show that as the cooling rate increases from0.22 to 7.65 K/s,the average secondary dendritic arm spacing(SDAS,λ2)decreases from 94.8 to 27.3μm.The relation between SDAS and cooling rate can be expressed by an equation:λ2=53.0 Rc-0345.Additionally,an increase in cooling rate was shown not only to reduce the amount of the secondary phases,but also to promote the transition from Al10 Mn2 Ce toα-Al24(Mn,Fe)6Si2 phase.Tensile tests show that as the cooling rate increases from 0.22 to 7.65 K/s,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)increases from 146.3 to 241.0 MPa and the elongation(EL)increases sharply from 4.4 to 12.2%for the ascast alloys.Relations of UTS and EL with SDAS were determined,and both the UTS and EL increase linearly with(1/λ2)0.5and that these changes can be explained by strengthening mechanisms.Most eutectic Al3Mg2 phases were dissolved during T4 treatment,which in turn further improve the YS,UTS and EL.However,the increment percent of YS,UTS and EL is affected by the cooling rate.
