However, currently little research is carried out regarding MSN of welded joint. The processes of high energy shot peening （HESP） technology and ultrasonic impact treatment （UIT） were carried out to achieve joint surface nanocrystallization. The grain size of before and after the welded joint surface nanocrystallization were comparatively analyzed with X-ray diffractometer, the surface deformation layer thickness of before and after the welded joint surface nanocrystallization were comparatively analyzed with optical microscopy, the surface hardness of before and after the welded joint surface nanocrystallization were comparatively analyzed with micro hardness machine. The results show that both of the processes can achieve welded joint surface nanocrystaUization and the weld after HESP have smaller grain size, larger deformation layer thickness and higher hardness values than those after UIT. However, HESP is restrained by the shapes and sizes of welding materials, so the UIT process is preferred to use in the general engineering practical applications.展开更多

The hard powders were tried to bond to the workpiece surface due to the collision of many shots.In order to fix the hard powders to the surface of the workpiece,the powders were set on an uneven surface.To easily facilitate fixing of powders,lining of the workpiece with the powder sandwiched between two aluminum foil sheets was also attempted.In this experiment,a centrifugal shot peening machine with an electrical heater was employed.The workpieces were magnesium alloys AZ31B and AZ91D,and the hard powders were commercial cemented carbide,alumina,and zirconia.The joinability of hard powders near the lined surface was observed by a optical microscope.The wear resistance was also evaluated by a wear test.The hard powders were successfully bonded to the surface of workpieces by the shot lining process.The results show that the present method is effective in wear resistance of the magnesium alloys.展开更多

The results indicate that the gradient nanostructure can not only improve the mechanical properties of 5182 Al alloy, but also has a certain effect on the Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC) effect. The yield and ultimate tensile strength of 5182 Al alloy with SMAT are significantly improved combining with the decrease of fracture elongation compared with the as-received one. The PLC effect of 5182 Al alloy could be effectively postponed by the formation of gradient nanostructure after SMAT. It leads to the increase of critical strain of the PLC effect, more concentrated distribution of serrated strain, and increase of average stress amplitude in special strain range. The influence of grain size and gradient nanostructure on the PLC effect of 5182 Al alloy was also discussed in detail. Grain refinement could sharply increase the density of dislocations and hinder the movement of dislocations, which results in the decrease of moving speed of dislocations and the more concentrated distribution of solute atoms. The solute atoms would aggregate to form nano precipitates and further impede movement of dislocation. The stronger interaction between the dislocations and the nano precipitates is the main mechanism of postponed PLC effect.展开更多

The universal tensile tester was used to test the tensile strength and yield strength of aluminum alloy sheets with different treatment systems. The surface morphology of the alloy sheets was characterized by a white light interference profile scanner, and the microstructure of the sheets was characterized by optical microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope(SEM)and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD). The results showed that the mechanical properties of the sheets could not satisfy GBT228.1-2010 national standard when the holding time was 10 min and the holding temperature was475 ℃. However, under the other heat treatment systems,the alloy could reach the GBT228.1-2010 national standard. Moreover, with the extension of the holding time, the part of the matrix gradually diffused into the aluminumclad layer. When the holding time was shorter than 25 min,the boundary between the matrix and the aluminum-clad layer was relatively obvious. And the diffusion gradually became obvious when the holding time was over 25 min.Thereby, the boundary became blurry. The further investigation suggested that the solution temperature of495 ℃ and the holding time of 35 min showed better mechanical properties and better surface morphology.展开更多

As the uniformity of chemical composition and temperature is poor in the laser cladding, the amorphous structure with some Ni 3Al crystals coexists in the cladding. The microhardness of the mixing amorphous structure is HV 600～800, which is lower than that of crystal phases in the coating. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) shows that Ni based amorphous structure exhibits a higher initial crystallizing temperature (about 588 ℃), which is slightly higher than that of the eutectic temperature of Al Si alloy. The wear test results indicate that there are some amorphous structures in the laser clad coating, which reduces the peeling of the granular phases from matrix, and improves the wear resistance.展开更多
