Various procedure and the parameters for melt purifying,finishing rolling temperature,split aging parameters,and water cooling capacity during casting and hot rolling were analyzed. The results imply that shield gas atmosphere along with alloying element of Mg and Ce help greatly on purifying the melt. C194 alloy sheet and strip with finishing rolling temperature higher than 750 ℃ and split aging treatment at 550 ℃,2 h+450 ℃,2 h can obtain excellent integrity properties. The cooling capacity during casting and on-line quenching after hot rolling are also key factors influencing the quality of C194 alloy sheet and strip.展开更多

The composite was examined by using XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. The experimental results reveal that TiB2 are dispersed homogeneously into the aluminium alloy matrix. The mechanical properties of the composites increase significantly with the addition of reinforcement, and the tensile fractography of the composite exhibits to be ductile though the elongation of the composites decreases compared with the unreinforced matrix alloy.展开更多
