Development of liquid-nitrogen-cooling friction stir spot welding for AZ31 magnesium alloy joints

A liquid-nitrogen-cooling friction stir spot welding (C-FSSW) technology was developed for welding AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets. The liquid-nitrogen cooling degraded the deformability of the welded materials such that the width of interfacial cracks increased with increasing cooling time. The grain size of the stirred zone (SZ) and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the C-FSSW-welded joints decreased, whereas that of the thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) increased with increasing cooling time. The maximum tensile shear load of the C-FSSW-welded joints welded with a cooling time of 5 or 7 s was larger than that of the friction stir spot welding (FSSW)-welded joint, and the tensile shear load decreased with increasing cooling time. The microhardness of the C-FSSW-welded joints was greater than that of the FSSW-welded joint. Moreover, the microhardness of the SZ and the HAZ of the C-FSSW-welded joints increased, whereas that of the TMAZ decreased, with increasing cooling time.

降温过程对Au24Cu19合金团簇结构变化影响

采用基于嵌入原子法的正则系综NVT分子动力学方法在原子尺度上计算了包含24个金原子和19个铜原子的Au24Cu19双金属团簇在急冷和连续降温过程中的结构演化.根据原子平均势能、主要原子键对数目以及原子堆积结构随温度的变化表明，随着温度的降低，团簇表现为铜原子在内，金原子和少量铜原子包覆在外的构型.在温度被降低到较高温度区间时，急冷降温过程中，键对数目呈高-低振荡变化；连续冷却过程中，键对数目则呈低-高振荡变化.在温度较低的区间，直至400K，这两个冷却条件下的键对数目表现为同步变化.

航空铝合金预腐蚀疲劳寿命退化规律

航空铝合金材料在服役过程中常因腐蚀损伤而导致疲劳断裂问题,通过采用扫描电镜及疲劳寿命测试等方法,研究了不同预腐蚀损伤对2xxx铝合金在不同应力比下疲劳寿命的影响,探讨了预腐蚀损伤对疲劳裂纹萌生扩展的影响机理.结果表明:预腐蚀损伤对2xxx铝合金材料疲劳寿命的影响显著,材料的疲劳性能随着腐蚀损伤程度的增加而明显下降.同时建立了预腐蚀损伤对材料疲劳极限的影响系数C-T-R模型,材料疲劳极限的影响系数C随着预腐蚀时间的增加或者应力比R的增加而变大.断口分析表明,预腐蚀损伤的存在导致裂纹萌生寿命大大缩短,裂纹萌生由单源转变为多源,并且均萌生于腐蚀坑处.     

Microstructure and properties of in-situ synthesized Cu-1 wt%TiC alloy followed by ECAP and post-annealing

A dispersion-strengthened copper alloy with 1 wt% TiC for commercial electrical-contact wires was prepared by in-situ reaction casting, grain-ultrafining by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent annealing with aim to obtain excellent comprehensive performance. The results showed that fine TiC particles were in-situ synthesized in the as-cast Cu matrix and aggregated in clusters, and thus mechanical properties of the as-cast alloy deemed insufficient. Continued ECAP at 473 K significantly refined the grains of the as-cast alloy and improved the distribution of TiC particles. Due to multiple strengthening mechanisms, the ECAP-processed alloys maintained good conductivity with obviously enhanced tensile strength and hardness values. After post-ECAP annealing, the elongation and conductivity of the fine-grained copper alloy increased with the adequate tensile strength. The novel combined process endows the alloy appropriate performance to serve current high-frequency electrification railway systems.
