    Abstract ( 297 )   PDF (657KB) ( 232 )  
    High temperature deformation behavior of GWZ1031K magnesium alloy was investigated by high temperature tensile test at 250-400 ℃ and the deformation rate of 0.2 mm/min.Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray energy spectroscopy (EDS) were used to observe the microstructure and tensile fracture.The results show that the peak value appears in all the high temperature tensile stress-strain curves at different temperatures,and the peak stress decreases with the increase of deformation temperature,meanwhile the plasticity increases sharply,particularly superplasticity occurs at 400 ℃.Combining the analyse of microstructure and fracture morphology,it can be concluded that the GWZ1031K magnesium alloy has good heat resistance in the temperature range from 250 ℃ to 350 ℃.

    Abstract ( 259 )   PDF (579KB) ( 154 )  
    Hot-rolled 2205 duplex stainless steel was taken as the raw material and solid-solution treated at 1000-1350 ℃ for 30 min.X-ray diffraction (XRD),optical microscope (OM),scanning electron microscope (SEM) and microhardness tester were employed to measure the microstructure and microhardness of the solution-treated 2205 duplex stainless steels.The results show that with the increase of solution treatment temperature,the fraction of ferrite increases and the fraction of austenite decreases,both the recrystallization and grain growth occur,the difference in content of each element including Cr,Mo,and Ni in the two phases is reduced.The ferrite and austenite content is basically equivalent when solution treated at 1050 ℃.The microhardness increases with the increase of solution treatment temperature,and it increases abruptly at 1150 ℃ to 1200 ℃.In order to obtain a lower hardness for subsequent cold processing,the solution treatment temperature of the 2205 duplex stainless steel should be controlled at 1000-1150 ℃.

    2021, 46(1):  19-27.  doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2021.01.004
    Abstract ( 108 )   PDF (583KB) ( 46 )  
    The aluminum matrix composites contained Al2O3 particles with different volume content were prepared by cold spraying additive manufacturing process,which included the volume fraction of 25%,50%,and 75%,respectively(i.e.Al-25Al2O3,Al-50Al2O3,and Al-75Al2O3).The influence of vacuum annealing treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of cold sprayed aluminum matrix composites was analyzed by means of SEM,EBSD,hardness test and tensile test.The results show that the addition of Al2O3 particles increases the strength and hardness of the cold spray additive material,which enhances with the increase of Al2O3 content.The reason for this is that the hammer action of Al2O3 particles in the process of cold sprayed leads to mechanical interlocks and grain refinement due to severe plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization.However,the strength and hardness of the material gradually decrease after annealing treatment,as well as thegradual increase of elongation.The internal structure of the material gradually become uniform.

    Abstract ( 117 )   PDF (579KB) ( 60 )  
    Mechanical properties and microstructure of KD grade experimental steel used for sucker rod,after three different heat treatment processes,were studied by means of mechanical properties test,OM,SEM and TEM.The results show that the comprehensive mechanical properties of the material are the best when tempering temperature starts from room temperature.The impact property of the material obtained is worst when tempering temperature starts from 500 ℃,which is due to the uneven distribution of M+A islands in granular bainite with different shapes,and the majority is large blocks with sharp corners,which results in stress concentration.The second phase precipitates make the material have higher strength.

    Effect of intercritical tempering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.02C-7Mn steel was investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD),transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Thermo-Calc software calculation.The results indicate that the microstructure is basically quenched martensite accompanied by little amount of retained austenite after direct quenching,while the microstructure is mainly tempered martensite and the reverted austenite (retained austenite) after intercritical tempering.With the increase of tempering temperature,the content of retained austenite gradually increases and the maximum content of retained austenite is 18.78% at 650 ℃.Meanwhile,ε-martensite is appeared and its content is 6.57%.It is the decline of dislocation density and dispersed precipitation during the tempering that has resulted in the decrease of tensile strength and the increase of yield strength in different effects.Furthermore,the existence of ε-martensite not only reduces yield strength but also damages low-temperature toughness.After tempered at 600 ℃,the tested steel has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties (transverse direction:tensile strength of 984 MPa,yield strength of 973 MPa and the -40 ℃ impact absorbed energy of 163 J;rolling direction:tensile strength of 947 MPa,yield strength of 919 MPa and the -40 ℃ impact absorbed energy of 186 J) that can meet the properties requirement of Q690 steel.

    Abstract ( 63 )   PDF (653KB) ( 30 )  
    Thermal oxidation (TO) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was performed at 550 ℃ for 60 h in air,and the surface morphology,microstructure,composition,hardness,scratch performance and wear resistance of the TO treated and untreated alloy were evaluated and compared.The results reveal that the surface roughness of the Ti alloy increases a little after TO,an oxygen-diffusion layer of about 3.5 μm thickness is formed on the surface,and anatase,rutile,brookite TiO2 and Al2O3 phases are detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD).The microhardness and nano hardness of the oxygen-diffusion layer are 804.6 HV0.025 and 14.5 GPa,respectively,which is 143.7% higher than that of the untreated substrate,and no cracking is observed around the indentations.The maximum scratch depth is significantly reduced from 12 μm to 4 μm after TO,and the wear rate decreases from 354.33×10-6 mm3/Nm to 1.44×10-6 mm3/Nm,and the main wear mechanism of the oxygen-diffusion layer is slight abrasive wear.It is concluded that the surface TO treatment considerably increases the surface hardness and wear resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy,but leads no obvious inner microstructure coarsening and softening,thus could be a potential method to improve the surface wear resistance of Ti alloys.

    Abstract ( 73 )   PDF (650KB) ( 39 )  
    Cast-steel shot peening was employed on directionally solidified alloy DZ125 to analyze the fatigue property,surface residual stress and microhardness profile under various shot peening intensity and coverage conditions.The results show that with the increase of shot peening intensity,the estimated median fatigue life increases gradually.At high intensity,the estimated median fatigue life at 700 ℃/500 MPa is 2 times that of the original specimen.Moreover,with the increase of surface coverage,the estimated median fatigue life increases first and then stabilizes,and when the coverage reaches 400%,the estimated median fatigue life is stable.When the shot peening intensity is high and at the coverage rate of 400%,the fatigue limit is 480 MPa,which is 20% higher than the original value (400 MPa).Residual stress and microstructure strengthening mechanism are the strengthening factors of shot peening for DZ125 alloy.With the increase of shot peening intensity,the residual compressive stress decreases slightly,but it is still obviously larger than the original state.When the shot peening intensity is high and at the coverage rate of 400%,the surface hardness field of DZ125 alloy exceeds 200 μm in depth,and the surface hardness is 37% higher than that of the matrix (430 HV0.1).When the actual load at the notch is greater than the yield strength,the residual stress and hardness are relaxed obviously during fatigue process;the surface residual stress of the fractured specimen decreases by 54% and the surface hardness decreases by 14% after 700 ℃/600 MPa/1.5×105 cycles.

    2021, 46(1):  161-166.  doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2021.01.030
    Abstract ( 77 )   PDF (650KB) ( 29 )  
    Changes in the microstructure,corrosion states,and corrosion resistance of Al-5.6Zn-1.6Mg-0.15Zr alloy sheet after aging at 120 ℃ for different time were studied by means of intergranular corrosion experiment (IGC),exfoliation corrosion experiment (EXCO) and electrochemical corrosion experiment,optical microscope (OM),scanning electron microscope (SEM),energy spectrum analysis (EDS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).The results show that the new Al-5.6Zn-1.6Mg-0.15Zr alloy has good overall corrosion resistance,and its sensitivity to intergranular corrosion and spalling corrosion decreases significantly with the increase of aging time.The polarization curve obtained by electrochemical corrosion experiments also shows the same trend.The effect of aging on corrosion resistance of the alloy is mainly related to the change of grain boundary precipitation phase η (MgZn2) and the precipitation-free zone (PFZ).With the increase of aging time,the grain boundary precipitation phase aggregates and coarsens,and changes from continuous precipitation to discontinuous precipitation,and the PFZ becomes wider.These changes cause the anodic corrosion channel to be cut off,and the corrosion cannot continue,thereby improves the corrosion resistance of the alloy.

    Abstract ( 59 )   PDF (647KB) ( 34 )  
    Microstructure evolution and aging behavior of high-pressure torsion (HPT) deformed Mg-Zn-Y alloy were studied by using transmission electron microscope (TEM),scanning electron microscope (SEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument and microhardness tester. The results show that before and after HPT deformation,the second phase particles in the alloy are W phase and Mg24Y5 phase,and the formation of any new precipitates is not observed after HPT processing,indicating that HPT deformation does not lead to phase transformation of the alloy.At the same time,it is found that the HPT deformation process is accompanied by the generation of deformation twins and the multiplication of a large number of dislocations.The deformation twins are subdivided by the second phase particles during the HPT process.Compared with undeformed alloys,HPT deformation can accelerate the aging process,that is,reach a relatively high peak hardness under a shorter aging time.The specimens after HPT deformed 7 turns of are aged at 175 ℃ for 8 h,the peak microhardness reaches about 114 HV0.1.After aging treatment,the precipitated phase preferentially nucleates at the dislocations and twin boundary,indicating that dislocations and twin boundary act as preferential nucleation sites for the precipitated phases.

    Abstract ( 68 )   PDF (646KB) ( 29 )  
    K536 alloy was formed by selective laser melting then post-processed.The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were analyzed in as-deposited,as-annealed,and as-annealed+solid solution treated,as-annealed+solid solution treated+hot isostatic pressed,respectively.The results show that microcracks form in the transversal and longitudinal sections of the as-deposited specimens.For the as-annealed specimens,the transversal section microstructure is composed of equiaxed grains and the longitudinal one is of columnar grains,and the grain size fluctuates greatly,forming alternating fine and coarse-grained areas.Partial recrystallization occurs in the as-annealed+solid solution treated specimens,with twin crystals being observed in the recrystallized part.In addition,there are obvious equiaxed grain structure,uneven grain size,and grain boundary precipitates with long strip shape.After the hot isostatic pressing,the grain size of specimens increases obviously,the deposition generated cracks are basically healed,and the high-temperature durability index meets the requirements of related ASTM standard.The transgranular carbides are evenly distributed,and the carbides at the grain boundary are in chains.

    Abstract ( 68 )   PDF (647KB) ( 42 )  
    A ferrite/bainite (F/B) dual-phase pipeline steel was heat treated at 700,720,740,and 760 ℃ in the dual-phase region and steel specimens with 4 different volume fractions (16%,28%,41%,48%)of bainite were obtained.The effect of volume fraction of bainite on the strength,plasticity and toughness of the steel was studied by using SEM,TEM and mechanical properties test.The results show that the F/B dual-phase microstructure has lower yield strength and comparable tensile strength,resulting in better strain capacity,namely,lower yield ratio,higher elongation and work hardening exponent compared with that of as-rolled original microstructure.The volume fraction of bainite has little effect on the strength,elongation and work hardening exponent for the F/B dual-phase pipeline steel,however,it plays an significant role in impact property.The excellent strength,plasticity and toughness can be obtained when the volume fraction of bainite is around 40%.

    Abstract ( 54 )   PDF (654KB) ( 22 )  
    Effect of finishing rolling temperature on microstructure,texture,formability and surface ridging resistance of ultra-purified ferritic stainless steel 443 was investigated by means of optical microscope,EBSD and other analysis technologies.The results show that lowering the finishing rolling temperature promotes recrystallization of both hot rolled and annealed steel sheets,and makes the microstructure of final cold rolled-annealed sheet refined and homogenized.The γ-fiber texture in cold rolled-annealed state can be strengthened effectively by reducing the final rolling temperature,which is an effective way to improve the r value,cupping value,formability and surface ridging resistance.

    Abstract ( 74 )   PDF (520KB) ( 39 )  
    Structure of the large-scale thermohydrogen treatment furnace designed with cold wall structure is complex,and the thickness of heat insulation panel of multi-layer heat insulation structure furnace lining is very thin,which makes meshing and simulated calculation to be very difficult.So the full-size fluid-thermal-solid coupling simulation of the thermohydrogen treatment furnace was realized by adopting a simplified idea of equivalent thermal resistance and assuming the multi-layer furnace structure being equivalent to one layer,which still ensures the calculation accuracy and can save the calculation resources.The results of evaluation of furnace heat insulation effect show that when the furnace temperature is 1000 ℃,the outer wall temperature of the furnace is only 200-350 ℃ and distributed in a stripe shape.The outer wall temperature of the furnace shell designed by the cold wall structure is about 25 ℃,which has good heat preservation and heat insulation effect.The maximum thermal stress is 264 MPa,which is located at the base of the material platform.The tensile test results show that the tensile strength of Q235 steel used for the material platform base is about 565 MPa after hydrogen permeation treatment at 300 ℃,and the safety factor is 2.14.Such temperature field and thermal stress field analyses of the furnace and safety reserve coefficient evaluation in this study may provide ideas for the full-scale simulation of large-scale thermohydrogen treatment furnace,and data support for the furnace structural design.

    Abstract ( 153 )   PDF (518KB) ( 92 )  
    Causes of color difference and black spots defects on the coating surface of DP980-GA dual phase steel were analyzed by means of SEM,and the mechanism of defects formation was discussed.The results show that insufficient wet gas,too high content of hydrogen in annealing heating section and too low temperature of strip in annealing rapid cooling section cause the oxidation and enrichment of alloy elements Mn and Cr on the surface of strip,which affects the uniformity of diffusion between Zn and Fe;too high immersing temperature of strip after heat treatment increases the galvannealing degree of coating and causes significant diffusion of Fe from the boundary of alloy oxidation.During practical production,technological measures were adopted such as adjusting the amount of wet gas injection in annealing heating section,changing wet gas injection mode from single side to double side,increasing the temperature of strip in annealing rapid cooling section and decreasing hydrogen content of annealing heating section and the immersing temperature of strip,and color difference and black spots defects on the surface of alloy coating were effectively controlled.

    2021, 46(1):  235-238.  doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2021.01.043
    Abstract ( 101 )   PDF (524KB) ( 58 )  
    Causes of gear fracture failure were analyzed by means of metallographic analysis,fracture analysis,tooth profile and lead analysis.The results show that though the surface unqualified non-martensite structure of the root was observed,it is not the main cause of this gear fracture.The main reason is the presence of large-scale oxide inclusion on the root subsurface of gear teeth,which is the fatigue source under the continuous stress during bench test,and leads to the fish-eye type fatigue cracking.
