Simulation results indicated complete melting of the tips of the surface grooves and local generation of large stress gradient fields along the interface. These are believed to result in rupture of the insert interfacial aluminum oxide layer facilitating diffusion bonding of the bimetal components. Microstructural evaluations confirmed formation of an evident transition zone along the interface region of the bimetal. Average thickness of the transition zone and tensile strength of the bimetal were significantly increased to about 375 μm and 54 MPa, respectively, by applying the surface pattern.The proposed method is an affordable and promising approach for compound squeeze casting of Al-Al macrocomposite bimetals without resort to any prior cost and time intensive chemical or coating treatments of the solid insert.展开更多
Two kinds of bi-metal composite parts (Sn-15%Pb and Pb-22%Sn bi-metal system, and Al-7%Si and SiCp/6061 MMC bi-metal system) were prepared by the strain-induced melt activated thixo-forging.

The interfaces of the bi-metal composites were observed by OM and SEM. The observations show that the semisolid metals keep independence during thixo-forging. The solid phases in the semisolid slurries maintain their original morphologies after thixo-forging. The liquid phases near the interface mix together and form a thin layer. The interfaces are bonded firmly with the metallurgical bonding. No oxide layers are found at the interfaces. Strengths of the interfaces were investigated by the micro-hardness test. The experimental results show that the composite interfaces have high strength. However, the agglomerated enhancing particles cause fine defect on the interface of the Al-7%Si and SiCr/6061 MMC bi-metal composite.展开更多

First, an Al/Al-4.5wt.%Cu macrocomposite bimetal was fabricated by compound squeeze casting process. Then, heat transfer, solidification and distribution of the generated stresses along the interface region of the bimetal were analyzed using Thermo-Calc, ProCAST and ANSYS softwares, and structure, copper distribution and microhardness changes across the interface of the bimetal were studied. The results showed no noticeable change in the structure of the Al-4.5wt.%Cu insert and no obvious micromixing and diffusion of copper across the interface. Simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental ones only when an equivalent oxide layer at the interface was defined and its effect on heat transfer was considered. This layer caused up to 50% decrease in local liquid fraction formed on the surface of the insert. Simulation of the generated stresses showed a uniformly distributed stress along the interface which was significantly lower than the compressive strength of the oxide layer, resulting in its good stability during the fabrication process. It was postulated that this continuous oxide layer not only acted as a thermal barrier but prevented the direct metal-metal contact along the interface as well.展开更多

The microstructures, mechanical properties and formation mechanism of the bonding interface were studied. The results show that there exists a serrated transition layer with a certain width at the interface of Cu Cr/1Cr18Ni9 Ti bi-metal materials, and the transition layer consists of Fe-based and Cu-based solid solutions. The elastic modulus and hardness reach the maximum values at the interface closing to the 1Cr18Ni9 Ti zone. The bonding temperature has a significant effect on the width and morphology of the transition layer. The interfacial bonding strength is at least 30% higher than that of the Cu Cr alloy, and the tensile fracture occurs at the side of the Cu Cr alloy rather than at the bonding interface.展开更多
