Effect of Ce addition on hot tearing behavior of AZ91 alloy

A small amount of cerium (below 1.0 wt%) addition to AZ91 alloy have been investigated on the hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) at a cooling rate of 1.5Ks^?1. The HTS increased to a maximum value with a cerium addition of 0.6 wt% and then decreased to a stable status as cerium was gradually added. Due to high chemical activity, cerium into the melts can react with aluminum to form an Al₁₁Ce₃ intermetallic compound. X–ray diffraction results also confirmed the existence of Al₁₁Ce₃. The Al₁₁Ce₃ increased with the presence of the needle-like and block morphology. As cerium levels increased, the amount of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ decreased. The variations between Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and Al₁₁Ce₃ resulted in a similar normal distribution of the HTS in AZ91 alloy. The findings were further verified through the microstructure evolution and the surface morphology of fracture.     

Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques

In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical (nanoindentation, compression, tensile) and thermal properties (co-efficient of thermal expansion- CTE) of the developed Al-SiC nanocomposites were studied. The SEM/EDS mapping images show a homogeneous distribution of SiC nanoparticles into the Al matrix. A significant increase in the strength (compressive and tensile) of the Al-SiC nanocomposites with the addition of SiC content is observed. However, it is noticed that the ductility of Al-SiC nanocomposites decreases with increasing volume fraction of SiC. The thermal analysis indicates that CTE of Al-SiC nanocomposites decreases with the progressive addition of hard SiC nanoparticles. Overall, hot extruded Al 1.5 vol% SiC nanocomposites exhibited the best mechanical and thermal performance as compared to the other developed Al-SiC nanocomposites.     

膨润土极限活化量测定方法研究

本文介绍了用工艺试样热湿拉强度、高水湿压强度和膨润土的液性极限来测定膨润土的极限活化量。通过对若干种膨润土极限活化量的测定发现,对同种膨润土,由三种方法测得的极限活化量都基本相同,高水湿压强和液性极限的方法对没有热湿拉强度仪的厂家更为实用.同时还发现各种膨润土的极限活化量并不相同,所以通常活化型砂用膨润土,活化剂加入量固定为膨润土量的4～5%并不都是适宜的.

MOS器件的热载流子效应

热载流子效应产生的原因，首先是在沟道强电场中形成迁移率偏低的热载流子，然后由于碰撞电离而使热载流子大量增加。热电子和热空穴能够越过界面势垒向栅氧化层发射。进入栅氧化层的热载流子，或者穿透氧化层，或者造成随时间而增加的界面态，或者造成载流子陷阱。热电子或热空穴也可以受结电场的作用而进入衬底。抑制热载流子效应的方向，一是在沟道两侧制作轻掺杂区，以降低沟道电场强度；二是对栅氧化层进行氮化处理和提高氧化温度，以改善氧化层的质量，增强抗热载流子效应的能力。     

5CrNiMo钢的低周疲劳特性及其位错结构

用光滑圆柱形试样,在应变控制下测定了两种热处理状态5CrNiMo钢的低周疲劳性能.试验发现,应变幅△ε_t/2在0.6～1.8×10~(-2)范围内,两种状态试验钢均表现为循环软化特性,软化效应主要集中在前几周;试验钢的应变-寿命曲线符合Manson-Coffin关系,且高温处理有较好的低周疲劳性能.TEM分析表明,循环软化与塑性变形的不均匀性有关;软化现象是由于循环变形中位错结构转变成低密度、低内应力的位错胞状组织,以及细小碳化物受性错往复剪切不断碎化而回溶所引起的.
