超声波作用下双辊铸轧镁合金板带材的力学性能和成形能力

研究了超声波对双辊铸轧的Mg-3wt%Al-1%Zn-0.8?-0.3%Mn合金板带材组织和性能的影响。实验结果表明：超声波辅助镁合金的铸轧可以提高镁合金带材的强度、延伸率和极限深拉比值,在250℃镁合金带材的极限深拉比值可以达到2.16。这些镁合金力学性能和成形能力的提升是由于超声波铸轧过程中,超声波可以细化镁基体的晶粒尺寸,并同时对合金中的Mg17(Al,Zn)12和AlCeMn相起到变质作用。当超声波强度达到800W时,镁基体的晶粒尺寸可以从150μm细化到30μm,而且针状的AlCeMn相可以被变质成球状,从而提高了镁合金的力学性能和成形能力。     

Effects of ultrasonic treatment on the tensile properties and microstructure of twin roll casting Mg-3%Al-1%Zn-0.8%Ce-0.3%Mn (wt%) alloy strips

Twin roll casted Mg-3%Al-1%Zn-0.8%Ce-0.3%Mn alloy strips with thicknesses of approximately 3.6-4 mm are prepared, and the effects of ultrasonic treatment on their tensile properties and microstructure are investigated. The results show that, after treatment with an ultrasonic power of 800 W, the grain size of α-Mg decreased from 136.3 μm to 44.7 μm, and the morphology changed from dendritic to globular. Grain multiplication by fragmentation of dendrites and cavitation-induced heterogeneous nucleation are the mechanisms of refinement of the α-Mg grains by ultrasonic treatment. The needle-like shaped intermetallic MgAlCeMn is modified by ultrasonic treatment and obtains a more globular shape with finer particles. This change was a result of undercooling created by the cavitation of ultrasonic treatment. This improved microstructure contributes to an increase in both tensile strength and elongation of twin roll casting magnesium alloy. The yield strength of the experimental alloy strips subjected to 800 W ultrasonic treatment is approximate 30% higher than that of alloy without ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, the elongation of experimental alloy is almost double that of alloy without ultrasonic treatment. The relationship between the yield strength and the refined grain size of the experimental alloy can be expressed by the Hall-Petch equation σ_y = 74.8 + 31.4 × d^−1/2.     

Comparison of phosphor bronze metal sheet produced by twin roll casting and horizontal continuous casting

Much effort recently has been expended to study the strip casting process used to produce thin metal strip with a near final thickness. This process eliminates the need for hot rolling, consumes less energy, and offers a feasible method of producing various hard-to-shape alloys. The finer microstructure that results from the high cooling rate used during the casting process enhances mechanical properties. In this study, strips of phosphor bronzes (Cu-Sn-P) metal were produced using a twin roll strip casting process as well as a conventional horizontal continuous casting (HCC) process. The microstructures, macrosegregations, textures, and mechanical properties of the as-cast and as-rolled metal sheet produced by these two methods were examined carefully for comparative purposes. The results indicate that cast strip produced by a twin roll caster exhibit significantly less inverse segregation of tin compared to that produced by the HCC process. The mechanical properties including tensile strength, elongation, and microhardness of the products produced by the twin roll strip casting process are comparable to those of the HCC processed sheet. These properties meet specifications JIS H3110 and ASTM B 103M for commercial phosphor bronze sheet. The texture of the as-rolled sheet from these two processes, as measured from XRD pole figures, were found to be virtually the same, even though a significant difference exists between them in the as-cast condition.

Effect of speed-ratio on microstructure, and mechanical properties of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy, in differential speed rolling

The effect of speed ratio (SR) in differential speed rolling on the development of texture and microstructure in Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy was systematically investigated in a wide SR range between 1 and 3 at a fixed thickness reduction of 20%. At low SRs, deformation bands and shear bands were dominant. At high SRs ≥ 2, however, dynamically recrystallized microstructures were developed. The intensity of the basal texture component increased with SR, but decreased to the level of the starting material at high SRs ≥ 2. The occurrence of the dynamic recrystallization at high SRs was attributed to high-dislocation density accumulation and high temperature rise of a deforming sheet due to large plastic deformation of which amount increased with SR. The basal texture weakening at high SRs was attributed to extensive tension twinning that occurred in the basal-oriented matrix, which is rarely observed in conventional rolling. Due to the positive effect of texture and microstructure, tensile ductility improvement was significant as compared to that by symmetric rolling.

Microstructural evolution of twin-roll cast Mg–3Al–0.5Mn–0.2Mm alloys during warm rolling and subsequent annealing

Microstructure of twin-roll casted (TRC) Mg–3Al–0.5Mn–0.2Mm (or AM30 + 0.2Mm) alloy strips consisted of columnar dendrites in the surface and equiaxed dendrites in the center regions, as well as widely dispersed fine primary intermetallic compounds located in the interdendritic region. Warm rolling of the TRC strips developed both deformation or shear bands and homogeneously dispersed fine particles. No evident dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was found in the TRC sheets during warm rolling. The dispersed fine particles seemed to retard DRX. The warm-rolled TRC sheets showed equiaxed fine grains with an average size of around 8 μm after annealing at 350 °C for 60 min. The TRC sheets had superior yield and tensile strengths to ingot cast (IC) samples. Elongation was similar to both TRC and IC samples.     

Microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties of surface of CuNi alloy produced by punching and annealing treatment

The influence of annealing on the formation of nanocrystalline of CuNi alloy surface was investigated by evaluating the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of as-processed condition (using severe plastic deformation by punching process) and its annealed condition. It was observed that the microstructure changed after annealing of punched sample using an atomic force microscope. Mechanical resistance and corrosion resistance were also characterized using nanoindentation test, electrochemical test, electron work function, and microtribometer test. It was found that the punched and subsequent annealed samples have increasing hardness, elastic behavior (η), and corrosion resistance. Therefore, annealing can lead to the final formation of nanocrystalline and corresponding stability of grain boundary, which are responsible for the increasing mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.     

温轧高强韧镍铝青铜合金的组织与力学性能

通过形变量为75%的温轧形变热处理,制备了一种超细组织的QAl10-4-4镍铝青铜合金,研究其微观组织与力学性能。结果表明:经大变形温轧后,温轧后的镍铝青铜材料由超细层状(α+β′)双相组织以及细小的k相组成(其中α相为铜基固溶体、β′相为共析相变受阻产生的Cu₃Al基马氏体及Ni Al析出相、k相为Fe₃Al、NiAl等金属间化合物),合金的屈服强度由318 MPa提升至1020 MPa,抗拉强度由784 MPa提升至1104 MPa,具有7.8%的均匀伸长率并呈现良好的应变硬化能力。温轧镍铝青铜合金的高强度主要归因于位错强化、细晶强化以及温轧过程中诱发的纳米析出强化,而良好的塑韧性主要与超细的片层α相和β′相的应力应变协调有关。温轧形变热处理是制备高强韧镍铝青铜合金的一种有效方法。

Twin roll strip casting of high strength Al alloys with high solute contents using asymmetric nozzle

We investigated the feasibility of producing high strength Al alloy sheets with high solute contents using a twin roll strip caster equipped with an asymmetric nozzle. The combination of twin roll casting and the asymmetric nozzle used in this study reduced centreline segregation and hot tear, thereby increasing the casting speed. These features of the strip casting allowed the dissolution of more solute elements, suggesting the potential development of high strength Al alloys with a range of Mg contents up to 10 wt-%. The workability and mechanical properties of the cast strips were also evaluated to assess the feasibility of producing high strength Al alloy sheets superior to the present limit of conventional techniques.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Si-Mg alloys fabricated by twin roll casting and subsequent symmetric and asymmetric rolling

Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloys were asymmetrically cold-rolled using differential speed rolling mills. The textural and microstructural evolution with the consecutive working sequence was investigated using an electron backscatter diffraction. There were texture and microstructure variations with the speed ratio and a reduction in the area. Strongly-developed recrystallized cube orientations, {100}?001?, remained during symmetric rolling. The weakened cube orientation mainly changed into random orientations during subsequent annealing, and a small amount of cube orientations remained. However, during asymmetric rolling with a speed ratio of 2, the shear deformation penetrated through the entire thickness direction, and a strong shear texture of rotated cube, {100}?011?, developed. The distinct shear texture was recrystallized into {356}?0 17 14? components. The mechanical properties of the symmetrically- and asymmetrically-fabricated sheets were compared with each other. More balanced planar isotropic values of strength and elongation were obtained from the symmetrically-fabricated sheets, which are mainly due to the weakened random texture.     

热变形含镁Zn-Cu-Ti合金组织特征、力学性能和耐腐蚀性能

本文采用挤压加轧制的方法制备Zn-0.75Cu-0.15Ti-0.3Mg合金板材,并探讨其组织演变过程、力学性能和耐腐蚀性能。结果表明：挤压变形后Zn-0.75Cu-0.15Ti-0.3Mg合金呈细小的等轴晶形貌,Zn基体中存在微米级TiZn3和MgCuZn颗粒相以及纳米级CuZn5颗粒相。轧制变形促使合金的晶粒发生长大,并且晶粒尺寸较为不均匀。随着轧制变形量的增大,基体形变诱导晶内更多MgCuZn颗粒相的析出。轧制变形后合金的强度和延伸率均呈降低趋势,抗拉强度从142.7MPa降低到不到110MPa,这主要归因于晶粒的长大和脆性第二相的增多。不过,轧制变形有助于合金耐腐蚀性能的提高,轧制态合金具有较低的腐蚀电流密度(25.47×10-5Amp/cm2)和较高的腐蚀产物层电阻(166.7Ω/cm2)。

Annealing behaviour of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheet obtained by a combination of high-temperature rolling and subsequent warm rolling

The recrystallization and grain growth behaviour of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheets with a deformation microstructure, obtained by a combination of high-temperature rolling and subsequent warm rolling, was investigated at different stages of annealing. The basal texture was significantly weakened as a result of the formation of new grains with a largely altered c-axis orientation relative to the initial basal orientation owing to discontinuous static recrystallization during primary recrystallization. The new grains nucleated mostly at the pre-existing grain boundaries rather than at the intersections of twins or within the twins. Subsequent grain growth led to further progression of the texture weakening accompanied by an enhancement in the basal pole inclination.
