Characterization of non‐Cr‐based deoxidizers on Al alloy 7475‐T7651

The effects of three non‐chromate‐based deoxidizers, namely NaBrO₃/HNO₃, (NH₄)₄Ce(SO₄)₄/H₂SO₄ and Fe(III)/HF/HNO₃, on the Al alloy 7475‐T7651 were investigated. Several analytical methods were employed, including SEM, AES, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron energy‐loss spectroscopy (EELS) and glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES), to study the effects on the surface of this alloy after each treatment compared with the as‐received and alkaline‐cleaned alloy surfaces. The untreated alloy was found to have a thick oxide of 200–320 nm, consisting mainly of MgO. Alkaline cleaning results in an etching effect that thins the oxide and also deposits a thin silicate layer on the surface. In the case of the deoxidizers, there is significant removal of the native oxide of the alloy by the NaBrO₃/HNO₃ deoxidizer. There is also evidence of intermetallic attack on the alloy. The (NH₄)₄Ce(SO₄)₄/H₂SO₄ deoxidizer, which is a low‐etch‐rate deoxidizer, resulted in a slight thinning of the oxide. However, the effect was not significantly greater than with alkaline cleaning alone. The most effective deoxidizer in reducing the oxide thickness of the alloy is Fe(III)/HF/HNO₃, in which the etch rate was sufficiently high to remove completely the native oxide. In this case, equilibrium between oxide removal and the formation of new oxides on the alloy surface was achieved. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

稀土元素在LD30铝合金真空钎焊中的作用

研究了添加La和Ce的Al-Si基钎料真空钎焊LD30铝合金接头的力学性能，微观组织形貌和EDS，并与未添加稀土元素的Al-Si基钎料真空钎焊接头进行对比。结果表明，添加稀土元素的LD30铝合金真空钎焊接头抗拉强度为288MPa，达母材抗拉强度的97．6％，明显高于未添加稀土的LD30合金真空钎焊接头。其机制在于La,Ce能够明显提高Al-Si基钎料与LD30铝合金的润湿性能，改善LD30铝合金真空钎焊接头焊缝及其基体中杂质元素的分布，促进钎料和母材中各元素的均匀扩散，从而提高真空钎焊接头的力学性能。     

Al3Ti1B1RE细化剂对罐用铝材的细化效果及稀土的作用

采用XRD，OM，SEM，EDAX等探讨了一种新型Al3Ti1B1RE中间合金细化剂对罐用铝材的细化效果及RE的作用。结果表明，该细化剂对罐用铝材的细化效果优于进口和国产Al3Ti1B，且具有长效性，达6h后仍未见明显衰退，明显提高了该材料的强度和塑性；其细化效果及稳定性好的主要原因是：RE可降低铝液的表面能，增加铝液对细化核心(如TiAl3，TiB2)的润湿性，既充分发挥了异质形核作用，又防止了TiB2聚集沉淀倾向；RE也极易在结晶前沿富集造成成分过冷，阻碍了α-Al晶粒生长，并促进其在细化核心上形核；此外RE还兼有一定的净化、细化和变质作用，尤其是净化作用提高了该细化剂的冶金质量。

钇对2618合金组织及性能的影响

采用X射线，光学显微镜及扫描电镜等手段研究了2618合金中的组织与相结构，并研究了元素钆在2618合金中的存在形式及其对合金力学性能的影响。结果表明，微量钆元素在铝合金中是以化合物形式存在的；钆对合金中的铸态组织及Al9FeNi仃形态没有影响。由于微量钆的加入，降低了铜与镁在2618合金中的固溶量，减少了时效析出相A2CuMg数量，从而降低2618合金的室温强度帮在250℃的高温瞬时强度；但由于微量钆减少了铜与镁在2618合金中的扩散速度，延缓了时效机的粗化，并由于第二相数量的增多，因此提高了2618合金在250℃经100h高温热暴露后的高温瞬时强度。

Investigation of eutectic transformation of Zn−Al alloy by DTA

The paper discusses the investigation of crystallization of metals and alloys by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was assumed that this method allows determination of the mechanism and kinetics of volumetric crystallization underiso conditions (e.g. anisothermal) on the basis of the parameters of the equation expressing an integral form of the DTA curve. From DTA, a course of eutectic transformation was determined for a technical Zn?Al alloy containing 4wt% Al. Investigations were carried out under continuous cooling at various rates and the kinetics parameters were determined with the KEKAM equation:-ln(1-x)=kl _n

CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn samples were synthesized by H₂-reduction following solid-state reaction between Co(Ⅱ)， Cu(Ⅱ)， Sn(Ⅳ) and NaOH at ambient temperature. The samples were characterized by XRD， SEM. The results showed that CoSn alloy (80～200nm) is globe-shaped， ultrafine hexagonal material， and Cu-Sn alloy powder consists of two phases， i.e. Cu₆Sn₅ and Cu₃Sn. Cu-Sn powder has spherical morphology and the particle size is estimated to be 60～70nm. The electrochemical performances of CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn powder were studied using lithium-ions model cell Li/LiPF₆ (EC+DMC)/CoSn (or Cu-Sn). It was demonstrated the reversible discharge capacities for 10 cycles keep above 280mAh·g^-1 for nanophase Cu-Sn， and 60mAh·g^-1 for CoSn alloy. Differ-ential capacity plots showed that the reaction mechanisms of Cu-Sn with lithium were reversible.
