The metallographic structure and mechanical properties of 5A06 aluminum alloy RFSSW joints formed without ultrasonic assistance and with lateral and longitudinal ultrasonic assistance were compared, and the ultrasonic-assisted RFSSW process parameters were opti- mized. The results show that compared with lateral ultrasonic oscillation, longitudinal ultrasonic oscillation strengthens the horizontal bond- ing ligament in the joint and has a stronger effect on the joint's shear strength. By contrast, lateral ultrasonic oscillation strengthens the ver- tical bonding ligament and is more effective in increasing the joint's tensile strength. The maximum shear strength of ultrasonic-assisted RFSSW 5A06 aluminum alloy joints is as high as 8761 N, and the maximum tensile strength is 3679 N when the joints are formed at a tool rotating speed of 2000 r/rain, a welding time of 3.5 s, a penetration depth of 0.2 mm, and an axial pressure of 11 kN.展开更多

A central tube was introduced into the first step of the hydro-bulge forming process to constrain the over growth of the short axis during bulging,and then the central tube was replaced with two polar plates in the second step of the hydro-bulge forming process to manufacture an integral ellipsoidal shell. It is shown that the central tube restricts the growth of the short axis and simultaneously reduces the shrunk tendency of the long axis. The wrinkling occurs due to the latitudinal compressive stress at the equator at the early stage of hydro-bulge forming. However,with the increase of internal pressure,the compressive stress areas gradually decrease and finally the tensile latitudinal stress occupies approximately the whole shell,thus the wrinkles are eliminated. A sound ellipsoidal shell with the axis length ratio of 1.8 is obtained after two-step hydro bulging.展开更多

The experiments were carried out on a high-speed CNC machining center using integrated abrasive cutting tool. The effects of combined machining parameters, e g, cutting speed(vs), feed rate(vf), and depth of cut(ap), with the same change of material removal rate(MRR) on the mill-grinding force and surface roughness(Ra) were investigated. The formation mechanism of typical machined surface defects was analyzed by SEM. The experimental results reveal that with the same change of material removal rate, lower mill-grinding force values can be gained by increasing depth of cut and feed rate simultaneously at higher cutting speed. With the same change of MRR value, lower surface roughness values can be gained by increasing the feed rate at higher cutting speed, rather than just increasing the depth of cut, or increasing the feed rate and depth of cut simultaneously. The machined surface of Si Cp/Al composites reveals typical defects which can influence surface integrity.展开更多

A large number of studies have indicated that axial force control can be used to achieve good welding quality. However,in the welding process,due to workpiece's geometry error,improper clamping and other process variations,the axial force can vary significantly and produce welding defects.The control of force in the process of FSW is investigated. At first,the development and evaluation of a closed-loop control system is described,which is equipped with a custom real-time wireless force dynamometer for FSW. Then,an axial force controller is designed based on nonlinear force controllers for FSW. Experimental validations are carried out on an FSW platform. The experimental results demonstrate that the controller maintains the constant axial force and shows desirable dynamic behavior, even when the disturbance is encountered during the welding process.展开更多

Large quantities of IMCs, in the form of alternating bands of particles or lamellae, were found in the BS zone, where drastic material intermixing occurred during FSW. The BS microstructural characters in terms of the morphology of the bands and the quantity and distribution of IMC particles varied with TRS. All welds exhibited brittle fracture mode with their fracture paths propagating mainly in/along the IMCs in the BS. It is shown that these BS microstructural characters have significant effect on the mechanical properties of the joints. Suggestions on tailoring the BS microstructure were proposed for improving the strength of the BS zone and the final mechanical properties of the Al/Mg FSW joints.展开更多

文摘In this paper,the properties of different low-density heat-resistant coating prescriptions were compared,and a heat-resistant coating with a density of 0.65 g/cm^(3),a tensile strength of 2.04 MPa,and a thermal conductivity of 0.126 W/(m·K)was obtained.The thermal performance of the coating was characterized by an oxygen-acetylene ablation test,a hot radiation test using a quartz lamp and in an arc-heated wind tunnel test.The results indicated that the low-density heat-resistant coating prescription has advantages of high temperature resistance,erosion resistance,ablative resistance and excellent heat resistance,which can satisfy the heat resistance requirements of new-generation launch vehicle fairings.The successful application of this heat-resistant coating technology resolved the problems of low efficiency and poor adhesive performance of the traditional hand-pasted cork process,and realized the rapid spray application of the thermal protection layer,effectively improved the manufacturing efficiency and production quality of the heat-resistant layer of new-generation launch vehicle fairings.

文摘This study demonstrates that magnetron-sputtered NbSe_(2)film can be used as a lubricant for space current-carrying sliding contact,which accommodates both metal-like conductivity and MoS_(2)-like lubricity.Deposition at low pressure and low energy is performed to avoid the generation of the interference phase of NbSe_(3).The composition,microstructure,and properties of the NbSe_(2)films are further tailored by controlling the sputtering current.At an appropriate current,the film changed from amorphous to crystalline,maintained a dense structure,and exhibited excellent comprehensive properties.Compared to the currently available electrical contact lubricating materials,the NbSe_(2)film exhibits a significant advantage under the combined vacuum and current-carrying conditions.The friction coefficient decreases from 0.25 to 0.02,the wear life increases more than seven times,and the electric noise reduces approximately 50%.

文摘Dissimilar friction stir welding(FSW) between aluminum and magnesium alloy was performed, using various tool rotational speed(TRS) at a ?xed travel speed, with tool offset to aluminum to investigate the formation of intermetallic compounds(IMCs) in the banded structure(BS) zone and their effect on mechanical properties. Large quantities of IMCs, in the form of alternating bands of particles or lamellae, were found in the BS zone, where drastic material intermixing occurred during FSW. The BS microstructural characters in terms of the morphology of the bands and the quantity and distribution of IMC particles varied with TRS. All welds exhibited brittle fracture mode with their fracture paths propagating mainly in/along the IMCs in the BS. It is shown that these BS microstructural characters have significant effect on the mechanical properties of the joints. Suggestions on tailoring the BS microstructure were proposed for improving the strength of the BS zone and the final mechanical properties of the Al/Mg FSW joints.

文摘Creep age forming(CAF)is an advanced forming technology that combines creep deformation and age hardening processes.When compared with the conventional forming technologies including roll bending and shot-peen forming,CAF has many advantages of low residual stress,excellent dimensional stability,good service performance and short production cycle.It is an optimal technique for precise manufacturing for shape and properties of large-scale complicated thinwalled components of light-weight and high strength aluminum alloys in the aviation and aerospace industries.Nevertheless,CAF has an inevitable disadvantage that a large amount of springback occurs after unloading,which brings a challenge on the accurate shape forming and property tailoring of components.Therefore,how to achieve accurate prediction and control of springback has always been a bottleneck hindering the development of CAF to more industrial applications.After the factors of affecting springback and measures of reducing springback are summarized from the internal and external aspects,constitutive models for predicting springback and springback compensation methods for CAF of aluminum alloy panel components are reviewed.Then,a review of research progresses on tool design for CAF is presented.Finally,in view of the key issue that it is difficult to predict and control the shape and properties of components during CAF,the technical challenges are discussed and future development trends of CAF are prospected.
