The components of ES die were manufactured and installed to gleeble1500D thermo-mechanical simulator. Microstructure observations were carried out in different positions of ES formed rods. The results show that homogeneous microstructures with mean grain size of 2 μm are obtained at lower temperature as the accumulated true strain is 2.44. Occurring of continuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is the main reason for grain refinement during ES process. The experimental results show that the ES process effectively refines the grains of AZ31 magnesium. The production results of ES extrusion with industrial extruder under different extrusion conditions show that the ES extrusion can be applied in large-scale industry.展开更多

The sample was observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X–ray spectroscopy and X–ray diffraction. The results show that during the hot pressing process, W atoms dissolve substantially into the MoxC crystal lattices; whilst, the reverse dissolution of Mo atoms into the WC crystal lattices takes place. Consequently, the main phase and binder phase structure are formed. The phase compositions of the main phase and binder phase are a WC-based solid solution containing Mo and a Mo2C-based solid solution containing W, respectively. The isotropic dissolution and precipitation of W and Mo atoms do not result in substantial carbide coarsening. The mechanism for the densification was discussed.展开更多

Results indicate that the amount of M6C carbides obviously increases in the experimental alloy after hotcompression. Composition analyses reveal that secondary M6C carbides at grain boundaries are highly enriched in tungsten.Meanwhile, the secondary carbide size of compressive samples is 3?5 μm in 10% deformation degree, while the carbide size ofundeformed specimens is less than 1 μm under aging treatment at 900 and 1000 ℃. According to the thermodynamic calculationresults, the Gibbs free energy of γ-matrix and carbides decreases with increase of the compression temperature, and the W-rich M6Ccarbide is more stable than Cr-rich M23C6. Compared with the experimental results, it is found that compressive stress accelerates theW segregation rate in grain boundary region, and further rises the rapid growth of W-rich M6C as compared with the undeformedone.展开更多

The specimens were hot compressed at a temperature ranging from 350 ℃ to 425 ℃ and at strain rate of 0.1 s-1 to the strains of 0.3, 0.5 and peak. Microstructural evolutions were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The results show that during the compression process, the recrystallized grains nucleate along the pre-existing grain boundaries. The amount of dynamically recrystallized grains is increased with strain in a sigmoid scheme followed by Avrami equation. The size of dynamically recrystallized grains also increases at the beginning and decreases after reaching the maximum value.展开更多
