添加重熔料后ZL205A合金的组织与性能

通过向ZL205A合金铸锭中添加不同比例的重熔料,进行重熔、浇注。对利用ZL205A合金组织遗传性细化合金晶粒、提高合金力学性能进行初步研究。结果表明,ZL205A合金添加不同含量重熔料后,合金组织均有所细化;合金性能随着重熔料含量的增加先增大后减小。当重熔料含量为20%时,合金组织最为细小,晶粒尺寸达到33μm左右;铸态力学性能达到最优,抗拉强度比原料ZL205A合金抗拉强度提高了11.6%,屈服强度和伸长率均较高,分别为87.6MPa及7.5%。进一步增加重熔料含量,合金组织粗化,力学性能逐渐恶化。

重熔料含量对ZL101合金组织与性能的影响

通过添加不同含量ZL101重熔料,研究ZL101合金组织、流动性以及力学性能的变化。结果表明:随着重熔料的增加,ZL101合金的流动性呈现下降的趋势。螺旋铸件长度由未添加重熔料时的238 mm减小至添加50%重熔料时的94 mm;当重熔料的含量为30%时,共晶硅晶粒尺寸最为细小,平均尺寸8.74μm左右。同时,抗拉强度达到最大,为221.3 MPa,比未添加重熔料的合金提升了12.5%;伸长率达到4.3%。

添加重熔料及稀土钇对ZL205A合金铸态组织、热裂性能及凝固特性的影响

研究重熔料及稀土钇对ZL205A合金铸态组织、热裂性能及凝固特性的影响。结果表明:单独和复合添加重熔料及稀土钇都能够细化合金组织,使之变得更加均匀、细小。单独添加重熔料对ZL205A合金相的组成没有影响,但是提高了ZL205A合金凝固过程中液相线温度,增大了固液共存区间,进而增加合金的热裂倾向性;单独添加稀土钇和复合添加重熔料及稀土钇均可使合金凝固过程中液相线温度降低,减小固液共存区间从而有效地改善合金的热裂倾向性,使得热裂抗力由原料ZL205A合金的330N左右分别提高至450和670N左右。除此之外,添加稀土钇后,三角晶界处出现了灰色块状富钇相。

Microstructure of partially remelted billet of AM60 alloy prepared with self-inoculation method

The billets of AM60 alloy, prepared with self-inoculation method, were partially remelted into semisolid state. Effects of process parameters on remelting microstructure of semisolid billet were investigated. Experimental results show that the solid particles obtained with self-inoculation method are in smaller grain size and globular shape after partial remelting, compared with those prepared with other casting methods. In the optimized process conditions, the average size of solid particles of partially remelted billet is 65 μm, and the shape factor is 1.12. The process parameters, i.e. pouting temperature, addition amount of self-inoculants, and the slope angle of multi-stream mixing cooling chalmel have influence on the microstructure of partially remelted billet. The optimized temperature is from 680 ℃ to 700 ℃, addition amount of self-inoculants is between 5% and 7% （mass fraction）, slope angle of multi-stream mixing cooling channel is between 30° and 45°, with which the dendritic microstructure of as-cast billet can be avoided, and the size of solid particles ofremelted billet is reduced.

Phase evolution in AlSi20/8009 aluminum alloy during high temperature heating near melting point and cooling processes

The AlSi20/8009 aluminum alloy was heated to high temperatures near the melting point and cooled to investigate the effect of external Si addition on the phase evolution of Al12(Fe,V)3 Si dispersion. Differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer were employed.The results showed that Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases evolved into a needle-like Al4.5 Fe Si phase and a nano-sized V-rich phase during holding the alloy at 580-600℃. With increasing holding temperature to 620-640℃, Al4.5 Fe Si and nano-sized V-rich phases evolved reversibly into Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases, of which Al12(Fe,V)3 Si occupied a coarse and hexagonal morphology. During the alloy(after holding at 640 ℃) furnace cooling to 570 ℃ or lower, Si and Al12(Fe,V)3 Si phases evolved into strip-like Al4.5 Fe Si and the V-rich phases, which is a novel formation route for Al4.5 Fe Si phase different from Al-Fe-Si ternary system.
