Therefore, various additives are formulated as required for each particular case. Cooling curves of mineral oil as determined by JIS method can be divided into three stages, vapor film stage, boiling stage and convection stage. And there are many types of additives used for quenching oil, one effective to shorten vapor film stage and another to shift boiling stage toward lower temperature side. As rapid quenching required temperature range for particular steel varies pending on its shape of CCT curve"1, it is possible to provide higher quench hardening performance using quenching oil formulated of adequate additives.展开更多

With the increase of Cd addition the strength of alloy rises at first and then drops. The optimal amount of Cd and Sn addition for Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy is about 0.27% and 0.1% respectively. Due to the formation of some coarse Cd-rich phases and pure Cd particles the mechanical properties of alloy decrease when Cd amount exceeds 0.27%. When more than 0.1% Sn added, some Sn atoms form low-melting eutectic compound at grain boundary, and then cause over-burning in alloy when solution treated, which may deteriorate properties of alloy, especially ductility of alloy. On the other hand, the addition of Cd and Sn remarkably increases the peak hardness and reduces the time to reach aging peak in Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy. The action of Cd /Sn in quaternary Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy is effectively the same as that occur in binary Al-Cu alloy that the enhanced hardening associated with Cd / Sn addition is due to the promotion of the 6’ phase.展开更多

The BH value of ULC-BH steel without P addition is lower than that with P addition within a short annealing time,and the difference in the BH value gradually decreases as the annealing duration is prolonged.P segregation is dominant in terms of a high P bulk content in steels with P addition at the expense of C segregation during annealing.By contrast,opposite effects are observed in low carbon bake hardening steel.The high residual solute C content in steel with P addition is due to P segregation at the grain boundary.Site competition is mainly responsible for the lower BH value in ULC-BH steel without P addition than that with P addition.As the annealing time is further extended,C segregation begins at grain boundary despite the delayed P segregation,leading to a gradual decrease in the solute concentration in the matrix of steels with P addition.C and P segregations reach the equilibrium as the annealing time increases to 60 min at 810 ℃ in the two steel samples.Theoretical calculations reveal that the residual solute C concentration in the matrix decreases to zero,and this finding is consistent with the change trend of the bake hardening value.Hence,the C segregation at grain boundary. adversely influences the bake hardening property of ULC-BH steel.展开更多
