强磁场对铝合金中溶质组元分布状态的影响效果

合金中溶质组元的组织形态和分布对于改善合金的组织和性能具有重要意义.本文研究了铝合金在强磁场作用下的凝固行为,考察了Al-Cu，Al-Mg合金中溶质组元的相形态、分布状况随高强度均恒磁场和梯度磁场的强度和方向变化的规律.研究发现，由于Cu元素和Mg元素的物性不同导致其在基体中受到的电磁力不同，在均恒磁场作用下，铝合金中Cu元素和Mg元素在α-Al基体晶粒内和晶界上的分布变化规律相反；在梯度磁场作用下，Cu元素和Mg元素在铝基体中含量和分布状态也有显著的差异.本研究为利用强磁场有效控制不同物性的溶质元素在合金基体中组织状态和分布提供了实验依据. 关键词： 强磁场 铝合金 溶质元素分布 凝固组织 凝固过程     

强磁场对Al-Si合金凝固组织中硅分布的影响

为了揭示强磁场对金属凝固组织的影响规律，本文研究了Al-14.98%Si(质量分数)和Al-9.2%Si(质量分数)合金在强磁场作用下凝固组织的变化趋势，分析了强磁场对合金凝固组织中Si分布的影响.研究发现，均恒磁场和梯度磁场分别通过洛伦兹力和磁化力的作用对合金的凝固组织产生影响，强磁场可以显著改变初晶硅在合金中的分布状况.在均恒磁场作用条件下初晶硅在合金中均匀分布；在梯度磁场条件下，由于磁化力和浮力的共同作用，初晶硅在试样的上部或下部聚集.同时，磁化力也改变了共晶体在合金中的组织形态，使试样上部和下部共晶体的层片间距明显不同.理论和实验分析表明，Al-Si合金在强磁场中凝固时，磁场能作用于凝固过程，使共晶体中的Al含量增大，共晶点向左偏移. 关键词： 强磁场 凝固过程 共晶组织 Al-Si合金

B对Mo等元素在奥氏体钢/Cr2O3界面占位倾向影响的理论研究

超级奥氏体不锈钢中因含有更高铬、钼含量,具有极高的耐点蚀、晶间腐蚀性能,这与Mo等合金元素对钝化膜结构的影响密切相关,尤其含硼超奥钢钝化层表面Cr、Mo含量明显增加,但其原子层次的微观作用机制尚不清楚.本文采用第一性原理方法,研究了置换原子(Mo、Mn、Ni、Si),及间隙原子B在fcc-Fe/Cr₂O₃界面占位倾向,并分析了可稳定存在于界面B对这些元素偏析倾向的影响.结果表明:Mo、Mn、Ni、Si、B均可与fcc-Fe/Cr₂O₃界面结构体系形成稳定结构;Mo、Ni倾向分布于界面基体侧,Mo有向氧化层扩散的趋势,B处于fcc-Fe/Cr₂O₃界面基体侧更稳定,Mn、Si易分布于氧化层中;存在于界面B对四种元素在fcc-Fe/Cr₂O₃界面体系中的占位影响不同,有利于Mn、Mo偏析于界面基体侧,但抑制Mo向界面基体侧的偏析程度,使得Si、Ni更均匀的分布于基体.

深过冷液态Al-Ni合金中枝晶与共晶生长机理

在自由落体条件下实现了液态Al-4 wt.%Ni亚共晶、Al-5.69 wt.%Ni共晶和Al-8 wt.%Ni过共晶合金的深过冷与快速凝固. 计算表明, (Al+Al₃Ni)规则纤维状共晶的共生区是4.8–15 wt.%Ni成分范围内不闭合区域, 且强烈偏向Al₃Ni相一侧. 实验发现, 随液滴直径的减小, 合金熔体冷却速率和过冷度增大, (Al)和Al₃Ni相枝晶与其共晶的竞争生长引发了Al-Ni 共晶型合金微观组织演化. 在快速凝固过程中, Al-4 wt.%Ni亚共晶合金发生完全溶质截留效应, 从而形成亚稳单相固溶体. 当过冷度超过58K时, Al-5.69 wt.%Ni 共晶合金呈现从纤维状共晶向初生(Al) 枝晶为主的亚共晶组织演变. 若过冷度连续增大, Al-8 wt.%Ni过共晶合金可以形成全部纤维状共晶组织, 并且最终演变为粒状共晶.

Surface modification of Al-20Si alloy by high current pulsed electron beam

Hypereutectic Al-20Si (Si 20 wt.%, Al balance)alloy surface was treated with high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) under different pulse numbers. The results indicate that HCPEB irradiation induces the formation of metastable structures on the treated surface. The coarse primary Si particle melts, producing a “halo” microstructure with primary Si as the center on the melted surface. A supersaturated solid solution of Al is formed in the melted layer caused by Si atoms dissolving into the Al matrix. Cross-section structure analysis shows that a 4 μm remelted layer is formed underneath the top surface of the HCEPB-treated sample. Compared with the matrix, the Al and Si elements in the remelted layer are distributed uniformly. In addition, the grains of the Al-20Si alloy surface are refined after HCPEB treatment, as shown by TEM observation. Nano-silicon particles are dispersed on the surface of remelted layer. Polygonal subgrains, approximately 50-100 nm in size, are formed in the Al matrix. The hardness test results show that the microhardness of the α(Al) and eutectic structure is increased with increasing pulse number. The hardness of the “halo” microstructure presents a gradient change after 15 pulse treatment due to the diffusion of Si atoms. Furthermore, hardness tests of the cross-section at different depths show that the microhardness of the remelted layer is higher than that of the matrix. Therefore, HCPEB technology is a good surface modification method for enhancing the surface hardness of hypereutectic Al-20Si alloy.     

Phase-oriented surface segregation in an aluminium casting alloy

There have been many reports of the surface segregation of minor elements, especially Mg, into surface layers and oxide films on the surface of Al alloys. LM6 casting alloy (Al-12%Si) represents a challenging system to examine such segregation as the alloy features a particularly inhomogeneous phase structure. The very low but mobile Mg content (approximately 0.001 wt.%), and the surface segregation of modifiers such as Na, mean the surface composition responds in a complex manner to thermal treatment conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to determine the distribution of these elements within the oxide film. Further investigation by dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (DSIMS) confirmed a strong alignment of segregated Na and Mg into distinct phases of the structure.     

Relation between residual stresses and microstructure evolution in Al–Si alloys based on different casting parameters

Most designers take into consideration the stresses that act on a material but despite safety considerations, failure may occur due to other factors that were neglected in their design. These factors can be a pre-existing flaw, microstructure deficiency or the presence of residual stresses. Depending on the stress type, residual stresses combined with applied stresses can aid or hinder failures. Consequently, reducing the amount of residual stress can have a promising effect on the life of the component. Different casting parameters can change the microstructure and residual stresses of castings. In this research, the relation between residual stresses and microstructure evolution under the influence of different casting parameters was investigated, using both Al–Si–Mg (Al-356) and Al–Si–Mg–Cu (Al-319) alloys. Solidification rate, quenching rate, aging temperature and aging time were the main parameters considered for this study. The results indicate that the magnitude of the residual stresses increases with increasing solidification rate and quenching rate. Also, the residual stress relieving is proportional to the aging temperature     

基于微束X射线荧光的铸轧7B05铝合金元素偏析研究

材料内部微观尺度上成分、组织结构控制精度低、波动大是制约高铁铝合金国产化进程的重要原因,因此从微观尺度上研究大尺寸铝合金成分均匀性至关重要。鉴于目前研究铝合金偏析的区域通常较小且不连续,定量统计方法过于简单。使用微区分辨率较高的微束X荧光与原位定量统计分布分析技术相结合的方法,从点、线、面、频度分布等方面对成分分布数据进行解析,研究了较大尺寸范围内铝合金成分偏析的规律。研究结果表明铸轧7B05铝合金截面中心层存在接近2 mm的偏析带,Al,Cr,Ti和Zr元素为正偏析元素,中心层含量比上下表面高,Cu,Fe和Zn元素为负偏析元素,中心层含量比上下层含量低;各元素含量分布的统计偏析程度整体较小,分布最均匀的为Al元素,统计偏析度最小为0.01%,Ti和Fe元素分布较不均匀,统计偏析度分别为0.81%和0.6%;Fe元素与Mn元素在面分布中出现较明显的点状偏析,这是由于铝合金铸造过程中经显微偏析形成的金属间化合物,在后续的热轧成型中破裂成多个连续排列的第二相所致。使用激光诱导击穿光谱法对该方法所得数据进行验证,结果显示在30 mm×6 mm尺寸范围内所测元素面分布与线分布结果与荧光结果趋势完全一致。综上所述,使用微束X荧光结合原位统计的方法,对铸轧7B05铝合金点、线、面、频度分布及偏析程度的计算,可提供大量分析数据,对于量化研究大尺寸范围内轧板截面组织、性能的波动趋势具有重要意义。     

Microstructure characteristics of laser forming repaired Ti60 alloy

The microstructure characteristics of laser forming repaired (LFR) Ti60 (Ti-5.6Al-4.8Sn-2Zr-1Mo-0.35Si-0.3Nb) as-deposited and annealed samples are analyzed. The microstructure of as-deposited repaired zone (RZ) consists of epitaxial columnar prior β grains, in which fine woven α laths and β-phase between α laths exist. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) experiences a continuous microstructural transition from duplex microstructure of the base metal zone (BMZ) to the microstructure of RZ. The presence of silicide precipitates is observed in both RZ and BMZ in an annealed sample by transmission electron microscopy. They are identified as (Ti, Zr) 6 Si 3 distributed mainly at the α/β interface with the size of 100 300 nm. The fine αprecipitates are detected in BMZ by electron diffraction; there was no α detected in RZ.     

Shape and composition map of a prepyramid quantum dot

We present a theory for the shape, size, and nonuniform composition profile of a small prepyramid island in an alloy epitaxial film when surface diffusion is much faster than deposition and bulk diffusion. The predicted composition profile has segregation of the larger misfit component to the island peak, with segregation enhanced by misfit strain and solute strain but retarded by alloy solution thermodynamics. Vertical composition gradients through the center of the island due to this mechanism are on the order of 2%/nm for Ge(X)Si(1-X)/Si and 10-15%/nm for In(X)Ga(1-X)As/GaAs.

Surface modification of Al-12.6Si alloy by high current pulsed electron beam

The paper investigates the microstructure and property modifications of Al-12.6Si alloy induced by high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) treatment. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) results show a fine and equiaxed grain structure of several micrometers is obtained on the top surface of the melted layer. Underneath the top surface, a remelted layer with about 10 μm thickness is obtained and a supersaturated solid solution of Al is formed in the remelted layer. XRD analysis shows that the relative strength of diffraction peaks of Al (1 1 1) and Si (1 1 1) crystal planes is increased after HCPEB treatment. As a result, relative wear resistance of HCPEB-treated sample is significantly improved by a factor of 2.5 due to fine grain strengthening and solid solution strengthening. Therefore, the HCPEB treatment has a good application future in treating Al-Si alloys.
