纳米SiC颗粒增强镁基复合材料半固态搅拌法制备工艺优化

采用半固态机械搅拌铸造法,制备了增强体平均粒径50 nm的Si C颗粒增强镁基复合材料(n-Si Cp/Mg9Al),分别对不同质量分数纳米颗粒、不同搅拌时间和不同搅拌温度时,复合材料的微观组织和力学性能进行了研究。结果表明,随着Si C含量的增加,合金基体组织先细化后又出现变粗的现象,适当延长搅拌时间能更有效地细化组织,在较低温度下搅拌可以更明显地细化复合材料的微观组织。合金抗拉强度随着Si C含量的增加先增加后降低,在Si C含量为1.5%时最好,为198 MPa。在含量为2%时又有所降低,但是高于不加Si C时。搅拌时间为15 min时,复合材料的屈服强度、抗拉强度较之基体分别提高了12.8%、22%,断后伸长率由基体合金的2%提升到4%。继续延长搅拌时间到30 min,材料的室温拉伸性能出现明显恶化。不同搅拌温度下Si Cp/Mg9Al纳米复合材料与铸态Mg9Al合金相比其室温拉伸性能有明显提高,搅拌温度为600℃的Si Cp/Mg9Al纳米复合材料的室温拉伸性能最好,其屈服强度、抗拉强度和断后伸长率分别为106 MPa、155 MPa和4%。

Mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Zr alloy by Nd addition combined with hot extrusion

The effect of Nd addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr(wt.%) alloy was investigated. The Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr and Mg-9Gd-2Nd-0.5Zr alloys were extruded at 673 K. The elongated non-dynamic recrystallized(un-DRXed) grains disappear after adding Nd, and uniformly distributed dynamic recrystallized grains with a grain size of 1.68 μm were obtained in the alloy. In addition, numerous nano-Mg5(Gd,Nd)particles were found to precipitate dynamically in the Mg-9Gd-2Nd-0.5Zr alloy, which gave rise to the dynamic recrystallization process via providing nucleation energy through hindering the release of deformation energy and promoting an increase in the strength through the Orowan strengthening mechanism. Moreover, the dynamically recrystallized(DRXed) grains have a weak texture, which plays a significant role in improving the ductility. Therefore,the Nd addition favors the improvement of strength and elongation for the as-extruded Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr alloy,simultaneously.

微弧氧化Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳行为研究

主要对微弧氧化Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金在空气和3.5%硫酸钠溶液2种环境下的应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳行为进行研究,并讨论其相互关系。微弧氧化处理后,Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金的耐蚀性能得到明显改善。与Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金基体相比,在空气中,微弧氧化后合金的应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳强度均下降了大约10 MPa。在3.5%硫酸钠溶液环境中,微弧氧化后合金的腐蚀疲劳性能仍然是恶化的,但是应力腐蚀强度却得到了显著改善,从58.24 MPa提高至202.08 MPa。这表明材料的力学性能(应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳)并不是与其腐蚀性能完全保持线性关系的。微弧氧化处理后镁合金在空气中的应力腐蚀断口为韧性断裂,在硫酸钠溶液环境中为解理断裂。而其腐蚀疲劳断口不论是在空气中还是在腐蚀环境中均为解理断裂。这主要是由于腐蚀环境和变换循环载荷的影响,两者共同作用将会加速裂纹扩展。这表明,周围环境和加载类型对材料断裂机理有重要影响。
