Microstructure and magnetostrictive performance of NbC-doped <100>oriented Fe-Ga alloys

The 100 oriented Fe_(83)Ga_(17) alloy rods with various NbC contents less than lat%were prepared by the directional soUdification method at a growth rate of 720 mm·h~(-1).Low NbC-content was found to affect the oriented grain growth and slightly improve the 100 orientation.Flat grain boundaries in the alloys with low NbC contents less than 0.2at%became greatly curved at higher NbC contents,and a large amount of Nb-rich precipitates were observed in the alloys with high NbC contents.Small amounts of NbC,less than 0.2at%,resulted in an increase in magnetostrictive strain due to the improvement of the 100 orientation,and a high magnetostrictive strain value of 335 ×10~(-6) under a pre-stress of 15 MPa was obtained in the 0.1 at%NbC-doped alloys.The magnetostrictive performance obviously decreased with the NbC addition higher than 0.5at%,and the strain sensitivity under no pre-stress was lower than that in the binary Fe-Ga alloy.     

Influence of Al on the magnetostriction of Fe-Ga polycrystal alloys under compressive stress

Fe₈₀Ga_20?xAl_x (x = 0, 6, 9, 14) ingots were prepared from high purity elements using a vacuum induction system. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the alloys are A2 disordered structures. The influence of the partial substitution of Ga in Fe-Ga alloys with Al on their magnetostrictive properties was investigated, and the effects of different heat treatment conditions on the magnetostriction and microstructure of the alloy rods were also examined. The saturation magnetostriction value of Fe₈₀Ga₂₀ can reach to 240·10?6 under a compressive stress of 20 MPa. The Fe₈₀Ga₁₁Al₉ alloy has many good properties, such as low hysteresis, high linearity of the magnetostriction curve, and low saturated magnetic field, which make it a potential candidate for magnetostrictive actuator and transducer applications. It is found that subgrains have little influence on the magnetostriction of Fe-Ga alloys.     

热处理对深过冷快速定向凝固Fe-Ga合金组织和性能的影响

Fe-Ga合金后续的热处理工艺同合金的成分配比、制备工艺一样,对合金的磁致伸缩性能有重要影响.采用熔融玻璃净化与循环过热相结合的方法,制备深过冷快速定向凝固〈110〉轴向取向的Fe83Ga17合金棒材,分别采用高温和低温淬火工艺,研究淬火前后合金的组织和磁致伸缩性能.结果表明:快速定向凝固Fe83Ga17合金从不同温度淬火至室温,合金在TC附近淬火获得较高的磁致伸缩应变,淬火可抑制有序DO3相的形成,与高温淬火工艺相比,在TC附近淬火,只有部分特定区域优先得到淬火,发生modified-DO3相转变,并部分保留高温无序组织,最终获得有序-无序的室温组织,这种组织有利于Fe-Ga合金磁致伸缩性能的提高.

Microstructure evolution of laser rapidly solidified Al-Mn alloys

A series of laser surface remelting experiments of Al-1.1, 3.2 and 5.6 wt% Mn alloys has been conducted using a 5 kW CW CO2 laser, and the microstructures of samples have also been investigated. The experimental results show that no apparent eutectic growth appears in the whole growth rate range for Al-3.2 wt% Mn alloy under laser rapid solidification condition, and the microstructure grows in the form of α(Al) cell/dendrite. With the increase of growth rate, the microstructures of Al-5.6wt%Mn alloy change from Al6Mn dendrite to α(Al) +Al6Mn eutectic, α(Al) cellular/dendrite and segregation-free solid solution. The critical rates of Al-1.1, 3.2 and 5.6 wt% Mn alloys to attain absolute stability are 44.1, 134.6 and 230.1 mm/s respectively, and a reasonable agreement has been found between the experimental results and those calculated according to Mullins-Sekerka's theory.

Solidification microstructure formation in HK40 and HH40 alloys

The microstructure formation processes in HK40 and HH40 alloys were investigated through JmatPro calculations and quenching performed during directional solidification. The phase transition routes of HK40 and HH40 alloys were determined as L → L + γ → L + γ + M₇C₃ → γ + M₇C₃ → γ + M₇C₃ + M₂₃C₆→ γ + M₂₃C₆ and L → L + δ → L + δ + γ→ L + δ + γ + M₂₃C₆ δ + γ + M₂₃C₆, respectively. The solidification mode was determined to be the austenitic mode (A mode) in HK40 alloy and the ferritic–austenitic solidification mode (FA mode) in HH40 alloy. In HK40 alloy, eutectic carbides directly precipitate in a liquid and coarsen during cooling. The primary γ dendrites grow at the 60° angle to each other. On the other hand, in HH40 alloy, residual δ forms because of the incomplete transformation from δ to γ. Cr₂₃C₆ carbide is produced in solid delta ferrite δ but not directly in liquid HH40 alloy. Because of carbide formation in the solid phase and no rapid growth of the dendrite in a non-preferential direction, HH40 alloy is more resistant to cast defect formation than HK40 alloy.     

先进高强韧Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金凝固和均匀化组织及相构成

采用热力学计算与实验相结合的方法,研究了两种高强韧Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金铸态及均匀化态的显微组织和相构成.铸态A合金主要由Mg(Zn,Al,Cu)2相和少量Al2Cu相组成,而铸态B合金仅含Mg(Zn,Al,Cu)2相.热力学计算显示,A和B两种合金的实际凝固过程介于Lever Rule和Scheil Model两种模拟结果之间,由于合金成分不同而导致的铸态A和B合金中各相含量差异与Scheil Model模拟所得到的各相摩尔分数变化规律基本一致.经常规工业均匀化处理(460℃保温24 h),铸态A和B合金中存在的Mg(Zn,Al,Cu)2或Al2Cu相均能充分回溶,并得到单相α(Al)基体,这与热力学计算所得到的AlZn-Mg-Cu四元系统在7.5%Zn条件下460℃等温相图相符合.     

连续柱状晶组织BFe10-1-1合金的电化学腐蚀性能

采用线性极化、电化学阻抗谱等电化学方法研究了连续柱状晶组织BFe10-1-1合金在3.5%（质量分数）NaCl溶液中的耐蚀性能,并与普通铸造多晶组织BFe10-1-1合金进行了对比.极化曲线测试结果表明,两种合金具有相似的电化学行为,极化曲线都包括活性溶解区、活化-钝化转变区和极限电流区,但连续柱状晶组织合金腐蚀速率小于普通铸造多晶组织合金,主要是由于连续柱状晶组织BFe10-1-1合金的微观偏析程度较小,能有效避免枝晶间局部腐蚀的发生.电化学阻抗谱测试结果也表明,该合金的电荷传递电阻和腐蚀产物膜电阻均大于普通铸造多晶组织合金,具有更高的耐蚀性.     

Elaboration of AlSi10Mg casting alloys using directional solidification processing

The effects of pulling velocity on the solidification behavior and microstructural parameters of AlSi10Mg alloys prepared in a Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace were investigated. The microstructure, particularly the secondary dendritic arm spacing (SDAS), and the Brinell hardness (BH) of the solidified AlSi10Mg alloys were characterized for samples with cylindrical shapes and different conicities (θ=0°, 5°, and 10°). Microstructural studies revealed an increased density of α-Al phase dendrites and a decreased interdendritic distance with increasing pulling velocity. The dendrites were found to be preferentially oriented along the pulling direction for low pulling velocities. For larger pulling velocities, the dendrites grew first in the cooling direction but then broke as others nucleated and coarsened. The HB values of the solidified samples increased as the pulling velocity increased. In regard to sample conicity, smaller dendrites were observed for an apex angle of θ=5°, resulting in the largest HB value. This result was interpreted in terms of the favorable orientation of the dendrite along the pulling direction.

Al-Cu-Mg-Ag-(Sc)合金的显微组织与腐蚀性能

Effect of arsenic content and quenching temperature on solidification microstructure and arsenic distribution in iron-arsenic alloys

The solidification microstructure, grain boundary segregation of soluble arsenic, and characteristics of arsenic-rich phases were systematically investigated in Fe-As alloys with different arsenic contents and quenching temperatures. The results show that the solidification microstructures of Fe-0.5wt%As alloys consist of irregular ferrite, while the solidification microstructures of Fe-4wt%As and Fe-10wt%As alloys present the typical dendritic morphology, which becomes finer with increasing arsenic content and quenching temperature. In Fe-0.5wt%As alloys quenched from 1600 and 1200℃, the grain boundary segregation of arsenic is detected by transmission electron microscopy. In Fe-4wt%As and Fe-10wt%As alloys quenched from 1600 and 1420℃, a fully divorced eutectic morphology is observed, and the eutectic Fe₂As phase distributes discontinuously in the interdendritic regions. In contrast, the eutectic morphology of Fe-10wt%As alloy quenched from 1200℃ is fibrous and forms a continuous network structure. Furthermore, the area fraction of the eutectic Fe₂As phase in Fe-4wt%As and Fe-10wt%As alloys increases with increasing arsenic content and decreasing quenching temperature.     

Ti--26Nb--4Zr 合金冷轧板材的织构和力学性能

采用 X 射线衍射和室温拉伸方法研究了冷轧变形和固溶处理对 Ti-26Nb-4Zr 合金板材的织构和力学性能的影响.研究发现,50%冷轧时形成了{001}＜uvw＞织构,随着冷变形量的增加,逐渐形成了{121}＜111＞和{001}＜110＞混合织构,＜110＞方向由与轧制方向垂直转到与轧制方向平行.800℃固溶处理后,随着变形量的增加,{111}＜110＞再结晶织构形成并逐渐增强,但＜110＞方向始终保持与轧制方向平行.由于加工硬化及晶粒细化的作用,导致随着变形量增加,冷轧板材的强度逐渐提高,塑性降低.固溶处理后,由于发生再结晶,使得板材的塑性相比冷轧态明显提高.     

高铌高磷GH4169 C和GH4169合金的组织稳定性

为研究高铌高磷GH4169C高温合金在高温长期时效过程中的组织稳定性,通过场发射扫描电镜和数显布氏硬度计对GH4169和GH4169C两合金分别经600、650、704及720℃时效30~10000 h的显微组织和硬度变化进行对比分析。结果表明：在服役温度(650℃)范围内长期时效,GH4169合金和GH4169C合金均表现优异的稳定性;在服役温度以上长期时效, GH4169合金和GH4169C合金稳定性较差,短时间内,合金组织就出现失稳。对比而言,704℃时GH4169C合金组织稳定性较GH4169合金高,而720℃时GH4169C合金组织稳定性劣于GH4169合金。分析认为,GH4169C合金由于提高Nb含量和P含量使的γ＇相稳定性增加,得以在服役温度以上(704℃)表现比GH4169合金更为优异的组织稳定性,但Nb含量的提高也引起啄相含量的增加,导致组织稳定性下降。在超高温(720℃)下,GH4169C 合金稳定性劣于 GH4169合金。由此推知,相比GH4169合金,改型GH4169C合金在使用温度上有所提高,但提高有限,在超高温下,其稳定性反而降低。     

高含铁量铝硅合金中铁相的凝固行为与形貌控制

研究了较高含铁量的铝硅合金中，铁相在不同合金成分，冷却速度以及不同含锰量下的凝固行为和微观组织形貌，对α铁相基于β铁相形核长大的现象进行了分析。并对铁相的形核理论进行了初步的探讨，结果表明，在含铁1．4％（质量分数）的铝硅合金中，加0．7％的锰能使铁以α相的形式凝固，但冷速较高时，不能完全避免针状铁相的出现；锰的加入量增加到1．4％（Fe/Mn=1:1)时，较高冷速下，仍有针状铁相出现，且使初生铁相更加粗大，在同样的铁锰含量下，亚共晶铝硅合金中的初生铁相明显比共晶合金要少，且α铁相在α铝树枝晶中会形成一种细密的树枝晶结构，可以作为基体的强化相，而形核不是影响铁相形成不同晶体结构的主要原因。
