Effect of twinning on recrystallisation textures in deformed magnesium alloy AZ31

The evolution of texture during the tensile deformation of Mg–3.1%Al–1.05%Zn was studied by microtexture and macrotexture techniques. The deformation texture is shown to be the direct consequence of the variant selection that occurs during primary (contraction) and secondary (extension) twinning. During subsequent annealing, the secondary twins have a higher rate of nucleation than the primary twins and expanded within the latter rather than in the matrix grains. As a result, the primary twins did not contribute significantly to the annealing texture.

Effect of temperature on the anisotropy of AZ31 magnesium alloy rolling sheet under high strain rate deformation

In order to investigate the effect of temperature on the anisotropic behaviour of AZ31 magnesium alloy rolling sheet under high strain rate deformation, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar was used to analyse the dynamic mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy rolling sheet in three directions, rolling direction(RD), transverse direction (TD) and normal direction (ND). The texture of the rolling sheet was characterised by X-ray analysis and the microstructure prior and after high strain rate deformation was observed by optical microscope (OM). The results demonstrated that AZ31magnesium alloy rolling sheet has strong initial {0?0?0?2} texture, which resulted at the obvious anisotropy in high strain rate deformation at 20 °C. The anisotropy reflected in stress–strain curve, yield stress, peak stress and microstructure. The anisotropy became much weaker when the deformation temperature increased up to 250 °C. Continuing to increase the deformation temperature to 350 °C the anisotropy of AZ31 rolling sheet essentially disappeared. The decreasing tendency of anisotropy with increasing temperature was due to the fact that when the deformation temperature increased, the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for pyramidal 〈c + a〉 slip, which was the predominant slip mechanism for ND, decreased close to that of twinning, which was the predominant deformation mechanism for RD and TD. The deformation mechanism at different directions and temperatures and the Schmid factor (SF) at different directions were discussed in the present paper.     

Corrosion behaviors in physiological solution of cerium conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy

In this paper, a non-toxic Ce-based conversion coating was obtained on the surface of bio-medical AZ31 magnesium alloys. The micro-morphology of the coating prepared with optimal technical parameters and immersed in physiological solution (Hank's solution) in different time was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), composition of the cerium conversion coating and corrosion products in Hank's solution were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. In addition, the corrosion property in Hank's solution was studied by electrochemical experiment and immersion test. The results show that the dense Ce-based conversion coating is obtained on the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloys in optimal technical parameters and the conversion coating consists of a mass of trivalent and tetravalent cerium oxides. The cerium conversion coating can provide obvious protection of magnesium alloys and can effectively reduce the degradation speed in Hank's solution. Also the degradation products have little influence on human body.

Electrodeposition of Al-Mn alloy on AZ31B magnesium alloy in molten salts

The Al-Mn alloy coatings were electrodeposited on AZ31B Mg alloy in AlCl₃-NaCl-KCl-MnCl₂ molten salts at 170 °C aiming to improve the corrosion resistance. However, in order to prevent AZ31B Mg alloy from corrosion during electrodeposition in molten salts and to ensure excellent adhesion of coatings to the substrate, AZ31B Mg alloy should be pre-plated with a thin zinc layer as intermediate layer. Then the microstructure, composition and phase constituents of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was indicated that, by adjusting the MnCl₂ content in the molten salts from 0.5 wt% to 2 wt%, the Mn content in the alloy coating was increased and the phase constituents were changed from f.c.c Al-Mn solid solution to amorphous phase. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements in 3.5% NaCl solution. It was confirmed that the Al-Mn alloy coatings exhibited good corrosion resistance with a chear passive region and significantly reduced corrosion current density at anodic potentiodynamic polarization. The corrosion resistance of the alloy coatings was also related with the microstructure and Mn content of the coatings.

受迫流动下的枝晶生长相场法模拟研究

基于耦合流场和热噪声的相场模型及合理高效的三维动态求解域加速算法,定量模拟了在受迫流动下枝晶的非对称生长及流速对迎流、背流两侧的温度分布和层流层分布的影响.计算结果表明,受迫流动使迎流、背流两侧温度的分布与层流层分布呈现不对称状态,导致迎流侧与背流侧的过冷度不同,而熔体施加于枝晶界面前沿迎流侧的力还不足以抑制过冷度的作用,结果造成枝晶迎流方向优先生长,从而产生倾向于散热方向的倾斜,同时,由于迎流侧的实际过冷度大于背流侧,有利于促进迎流一侧枝晶生长速度以及稳定侧向分枝生长,从而导致了侧向分枝的非对称生长.随

Phase-field study of the second phase particle effect on texture evolution of polycrystalline material

The second phase particle effect on texture evolution of polycrystalline material is studied through phase-field method. A unique field variable is introduced into the phase-field model to represent the second phase particles. Elastic interaction between particles and grains is also considered. Results indicate that in the presence of second phase particles the average particle diameter turns smaller than in the absence of these particles and retards texture formation by pinning effect. The second phase particles change the strain energy profile, which tremendously influences the pinning effect.

Study of molybdenum/lanthanum-based composite conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy

The molybdenum/lanthanum-based (Mo/La) composite conversion coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy was investigated and the corrosion resistance was evaluated as well. The morphology, composition and corrosion resistance of the coating were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and potentiodynamic polarization analysis, respectively. The results revealed that the conversion coating consisted of spherical nodular particles, which was mainly composed of Mo, La, O and Mg. After conversion treatment the corrosion potential shifts about 500 mV positively, and the corrosion current density decreases two orders of magnitude. The corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy is remarkably improved by Mo/La composite conversion coating.     

Phase-field simulation of dendritic growth in a binary alloy with thermodynamics data

This paper simulates the dendrite growth process during non-isothermal solidification in the Al-Cu binary alloy by using the phase-field model. The heat transfer equation is solved simultaneously. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are directly obtained from existing database by using the Calculation of Phase Diagram （CALPHAD） method. The effects of the latent heat and undercooling on the dendrite growth, solute and temperature profile during the solidification of binary alloy are investigated. The results indicate that the dendrite growing morphologies could be simulated realistically by linking the phase-field method to CALPHAD. The secondary arms of solidification dendritic are better developed with the increase of undercooling. Correspondingly, the tip speed and the solute segregation in solid-liquid interface increase, but the tip radius decreases.
