INFLUENCES OF MICRO-ALLOY AND HEAT-TREATMENT PROCEDURE ON THE HARDENING OF DJ108TI ALLOY

The influences of micro alloy and heat treatment procedure on the hardening of DJ108Ti alloy, which is based on the electrolytic Al Si(2 05%) Ti(0 25%) Fe(0 30%) multi component alloy, have been investigated. The results indicate that the micro alloy based on the multi component alloy makes α Al dendrites in DJ108Ti alloy refined; that the improved heat treatment procedure makes the eutectic Si phases granulated , the Fe phase refined, and the strengthening phases of Mg2Si and Al2Cu fully precipitated. The micro alloy and the heat treatment procedure harden DJ108Ti alloy and benefit the abrasion resistance of the alloy

Experimental investigation on shape memory alloy metal rubber

Shape memory alloy metal rubber(SMAMR)is a novel intelligent elastic damping material which can realize the integration of structure and function.The investigations on the anisotropic mechanical characteristics which depended on shaping craft and working temperature were conducted by quasi-static tests.Comparative experiments indicated that the heat setting temperature affect the elastic modulus non-monotonously but has little effect on the loss factor of SMAMR in both martensite and austenite phases.With the increase of the heat setting time,the elastic modulus of SMAMR monotonously decreases and the reduction of loss factor is unobvious.With the present shaping craft,SMAMR exhibits the anisotropy in moulding and non-moulding directions,which is affected by the heat setting process and working temperature.It was proved that the mechanical properties have approximately linear relationship with temperature during the phase transition process.Due to its temperature-dependent mechanical properties,SMAMR that experiences the heat setting procedure is expected to be used in active vibration control systems with varying temperature-dependent stiffness and damping coefficients to provide superior vibration control performance.
