These AZ31 alloys were produced by semi-continuous casting, wherein the content of impurity was varied systematically. Microstructure observation shows that finer grains are existent in the alloy with lower impurity level. Tensile testing reveals that a reduction of impurity content results in a noticeable increase of the strength and elongation in the alloys in the cast, homogenized and extruded states. As the impurity content decreases from 0.0462wt% to 0.0163wt%, the ultimate tensile strength is evidently enhanced by 62 MPa and the elongation is nearly doubled in the homogenized specimen. The observed property improvement was discussed in terms of the microstructure variation with impurity reduction.展开更多

The effects of pH value, contact time and complexing agents（EDTA） on the purification process are investigated. The results indicate that the 732-type resin have a good scandium selectivity and the adsorption order is Sc 〉 Fe（Ⅲ）〉Al 〉 Ca 〉 Zr 〉 Ti 〉 Si in the pH range of 1-3. The separation of Sc and Zr, Si, Ti can be directly carried out because the resin have a good adsorption effect on Sc, AI and Fe（Ⅲ） but poor adsorption effect on Zr, Si and Ti under the condition of pH = 2.5 and contact time 180 min. The Fe（Ⅱ）, Ca and Al are selectively adsorbed on the resin by adding reducing agent ascorbic acid and EDTA into the solution for reducing Fe（Ⅲ） to Fe（Ⅱ） and complexing Sc.By using two-step ion exchange adsorption separation method, the removal rates of Fe（Ⅲ）, Ti, Al, Ca, Zr and Si are 95.5%,99.8%,100%,98.2%,98.6% and 100%,respectively.展开更多
