Residual stress with asymmetric spray quenching for thick aluminum alloy plates

Solution and quenching heat treatments are generally carried out in a roller hearth furnace for large-scale thick aluminum alloy plates.However,the asymmetric or uneven spray water flow rate is inevitable under industrial production conditions,which leads to an asymmetric residual stress distribution.The spray quenching treatment was conducted on self-designed spray equipment,and the residual stress along the thickness direction was measured by a layer removal method based on deflections.Under the asymmetric spray quenching condition,the subsurface stress of the high-flow rate surface was lower than that of the low-flow rate surface,and the difference between the two subsurface stresses increased with the increase in the difference in water flow rates.The subsurface stress underneath the surface with a water flow rate of 0.60 m^(3)/h was 15.38 MPa less than that of 0.15 m^(3)/h.The simulated residual stress by finite element(FE)method of the high heat transfer coefficient(HTC)surface was less than that of the low HTC surface,which is consistent with the experimental results.The FE model can be used to analyze the strain and stress evolution and predict the quenched stress magnitude and distribution.

Finite Differential Method Simulation on Temperature Field in Process of Laser Quenching

Laser Quenching is one of main contents in laser heat treatment. At present, computer simulation on cooling course of laser quenching is the main research field and the foundation of calculating inner thermal stresses in object. It also provides theoretical basis for optimizing and controlling the course of laser quenching technology. In this paper, the difference between finite element method and finite differential method, which are two methods to calculate the laser quenching temperature field and calculation precision are studied. The unstable temperature field is solved and the configure and time are discretizcd simultaneously. About time discrete, two kinds of differential pattern are discussed. Compared the calculation results with measurement values, it shows that the differential method adopting in the paper is feasible and the calculation precision and calculation velocity can be increased to use variable step-size about time. Also, the result testifies that different calculation methods can be employed in case of variable application situation and calculation precision.

Synthesis and Characterization of High-purity Aluminum Titanate with Water Quenching Method

High-purity aluminum titanate was synthesized via a water quenching method with waste-residue in the aluminum factory and industrial TiO2 as the main raw materials, which belongs to the comprehensive utilization of solid wastes. Compared with the conventional method, it can reduce synthesis temperature, effectively inhibit decomposition and raise the content of AT; the addition of tiny silicon powder can improve the sintering and optimize the properties of AT. The crystalline phase structure and microstructure of each sample were characterized with XRD and SEM methods; the content of each crystalline phase in each sample was confirmed with Rietveld Quantification method; the properties of each sample were also tested. The experimental results showed that No. 4 is the optimum specimen, with the corresponding mass ratio of Al2O3/TiO2 to be 1.27 and the content of AT of 97.2 wt%. The addition of optimum tiny silicon powder is confirmed to be 8wt%; its corresponding bulk density is 2.63 g/cm^3, bending strength is 46.34 MPa, and the retention of one thermal vibration bending strength is 71.5%.

Determination of trace arsenic(V) by catalytic solid substrate-room temperature phosphorescence quenching method

In the H2SO4 medium and in the presence of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid sodiumsalt (DBS), dimethyl yellow (R) could emit strong and stable solid substrate room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on filter paper. And NaIO4 could oxidize R to cause the RTP quenching. Arsenic(V) could catalyze the reaction of NaIO4 oxidizing R, which caused the RTP sharply quenching. The reducing value of phosphorescence intensity (ΔIp) for the system with DBS is 3.3 times higher than that without DBS. Moreover, the ΔIp is proportional to the concentration of As(V). Based on the facts above, a new RTP quenching method for the determination of trace As(V) has been established.

A Reproducible Approach of Preparing High-Quality Overdoped Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8+δ) Single Crystals by Oxygen Annealing and Quenching Method

We report a reproducible approach in preparing high-quality overdoped Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 08＋δ （Bi2212） single crystals by annealing Bi2212 crystals in high oxygen pressure followed by a fast quenching. In this way, high-quality overdoped and heavily overdoped Bi2212 single crystals are obtained by controlling the annealing oxygen pressure. We find that, beyond a limit of oxygen pressure that can achieve most heavily overdoped Bi2212 with a Tc N63 K, the annealed Bi2212 begins to decompose. This accounts for the existence of the hole-doping limit and thus the Tc limit in the heavily overdoped region of Bi2212 by the oxygen annealing process. These results provide a reliable way in preparing high-quality overdoped and heavily overdoped Bi2212 crystals that are important for studies of the physical properties, electronic structure and superconductivity mechanism of the cuprate superconductors.

Determination of Chlorobenzene by Hydroxypropyl-β- Cyclodextrin Sensitized Fluorescence Quenching Method with Neutral Red as a Fluorescence Probe

The fluorescence quenching of inclusion complex of neutral red （NR） and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin （HP-β-CD） carried by chlorobenzene was investigated. The fluorescence intensity of NR increased due to the formed inclusion complex of HP-β-CD and NR. But the fluorescence intensity of NR-HP-β-CD diminished when chlorobenzene was added, and there was a linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching value of the system （△IF = IF, NR-HP-β-CD - IF, CB-NB-NR-HP-β-CD） and the concentration of chlorobenzene. Based on this, a novel fluorescence quenching method for the determination of chlorobenzene with NR as a fluorescence probe has been developed. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of calibration curve for the determination of chlorobenzene was 5.0 × 10^-8 - 8.0 × 10^-6 mol/L and the detection limit was 1.0 × 10^-8 mol/L. It has been applied to determination ofchlorobenzene in synthetic waste water samples with satisfactory results.

Effect of different quenching processes following solid-solution treatment on properties and precipitation behaviors of 7050 alloy

The effects of quenching in different ways following solid-solution treatment on properties and precipitation behaviors of7050 alloy were investigated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, selected areaelectron diffraction （SAED）, hardness and electrical conductivity tests. Results show that after quenching in different ways, electricalconductivity of the alloy decreases rapidly in the first 48 h of natural aging. The electrical conductivity of 7050 alloy in natural agingstate is determined by the size and density of GP zones, and the size of GP zones is the main factor. After natural aging for 70 d, thesize of GP zones is 1.8-2.6 nm in matrix of the immersion quenched sample and it is 1.4-1.8 nm in matrix of both water mist andforced air quenched samples. After natural and artificial peak aging, the hardness of the water mist quenched sample is HV 193.6 andits electrical conductivity is 30.5% （IACS） which are both higher than those of the immersion quenched sample. Therefore, watermist quenching is an ideal quenching method for 7050 alloy sheets after solid-solution treatment.

Numerical and experimental analysis of quenching process for cam manufacturing

In order to obtain satisfactory mechanical properties for the cam used in high-power ship diesel engines, a new quenching technology was proposed by designing a two-stage quenching process with an alkaline bath as the quenching medium. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed new quenching technology, both numerical analysis and experimental study were performed. The new quenching technology was analyzed using finite element method. The combined effects of the temperature, stress and microstructure fields were investigated considering nonlinear material properties. Finally, an experimental study was performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed new quenching technology. The numerical results show that internal stress is affected by both thermal stress and transformation stress. In addition, the direction of the internal stress is changed several times due to thermal interaction and microstructure evolution during the quenching process. The experimental results show that the proposed new quenching technology significantly improves the mechanical properties and microstructures of the cam. The tensile strength, the impact resistance and the hardness value of the cam by the proposed new quenching technology are improved by 4.3%, 8.9% and 3.5% compared with those by the traditional quenching technology. Moreover, the residual stress and cam shape deformation are reduced by 40.0% and 48.9% respectively for the cam manufactured by the new quenching technology.

Simulation and experimental study of 7A09 aluminum alloy milling under double liquid quenching

To explore the influence of double liquid quenching on the cutting performance of the 7A09 aluminum alloy,quasi-static compression and dynamic impact tests were carried out on the 7A09 aluminum alloy after double liquid quenching using an MTS810.23 universal testing machine and split-Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB).The experimental data were fitted to obtain the Johnson–Cook constitutive model parameters of the alloy.Simulations of the machining process were carried out using the Deform-3D finite element software.The results showed that the rheological stress increased with the increase in strain rate and the decrease in temperature.The increase in the cutting speed and feed caused the cutting temperature to rise sharply,whereas the influence of the cutting amount on the cutting temperature was weak.Because of the presence of chip nodules,there was extremum in the cutting force vs cutting speed curves.The increase in the feed and cutting depth increased the cutting area Ac,so the cutting force also increased.The simulation results were verified by experiments.The simulation predictions were in good agreement with the test values,and the cutting force and temperature variations with the cutting parameters were the same.Thus,the correctness of the 7A09 aluminum alloy finite element model was verified.
