为了提高不锈钢桨叶的表面耐磨蚀性能,采用激光合金化技术在1Cr18Ni9Ti不锈钢表面制备了Mn-Al2O3和Mn-Al2O3-NiWC合金化层,原位获得均由枝晶、共晶和未熔氧化铝颗粒组成的高锰钢基复合耐磨蚀涂层,并通过正交试验研究了两种合金化层的显微组织和耐磨蚀性能.结果表明,所有的正交参量下激光合金化Mn-Al2O3均可提高不锈钢的耐磨性,但耐蚀性有的提高,有的降低;参量因素对合金化层耐磨性的影响顺序为Al2O3添加量、扫描速率、激光功率,对耐蚀性的影响次序则恰恰相反;Al2O3添加量决定了Mn-Al2O3复合涂层中硬质相的含量,从而决定了涂层硬度和耐磨性;两种合金化层表面均发生晶界腐蚀、晶粒内和晶界处的点蚀,其耐蚀性与其多种组织、物相及各自的化学成分和耐蚀性及组织均匀性相关.

Recent studies indicated that Mg-(7-11)Zn-4Al (the composition of the alloys in the present paper are given in weight percentage.) based alloys exhibited good creep resistance and additions of trace alkaline elements to the alloys further improved the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. In order to optimize the zinc concentration and reveal the effect of small amount of alkaline element additions to Mg-Zn-Al ternary alloys on their microstructure and elevated temperature creep resistance, five alloys with compositions of Mg-7Zn-4Al, Mg-9Zn-4Al, Mg-11Zn-4Al, Mg-11Zn-4Al-0.2Ca and Mg-11Zn-4Al-0.6Ca, respectively, were prepared in the present investigation and the microstructure and creep properties of these alloys were studied.
The microstructures of a series of high Zn magnesium alloys Mg-(7-11) Zn-(2-6) Al alloys were clarified, and effects of Zn and Al concentration about the ZA system alloys on the microstructure and properties were also investigated. For Mg-(7-11)Zn-4Al alloys with the Zn content increase, improved creep resistance is obtained due to block τ-Mg32(Al, Zn)49phase, with severe reduction in ultimate strength and ductility, and the best creep property is obtained with 11wt.% Zn concentration. However, a bit increasing Al content of Mg-9Zn-(2-6)Al alloys contributes to the improvement in the ambient and elevated-temperature yield strength, but seriously deteriorates the creep properties for the formation of lamellar φ-Al2Mg5Zn2eutectics or Mg51Zn20phase.

Super plastic behavior of the commonly as-extruded Mg-3Zn-1Al (ZA31) magnesium alloy is investigated at temperatures ranging from 593 to 623K and strain rates ranging from 8×10-5 to 10-3s-1. The results show that the alloy exhibits excellent super plasticity and the maximum elongation-to-failure reaches 220.4%. The alloy also shows a high strain rate sensitivity exponent of 0.38. Microstructure observations suggest that grain boundary sliding (GBS) with cavity coordination makes a substantial contribution to the super plastic deformation.
Poor surface quality, slag inclusion, porosity and other casting defects easily appear in the aluminum engine cylinder head produced by traditional top-filling casting. To eliminate the problems which were difficult to control, a new bottom pouring method was proposed based on the structural characteristics and technical requirements of engine cylinder head. Gating system was determined for permanent mold casting aluminum alloy engine cylinder head, and cooling method of waterways combined with compressed air was adopted to achieve a sequential solidification of aluminum alloy melt from the bottom to top, which could ensure a smooth filling of molten metal, good exhaust capacity, and also reduce the slag deposition fully. Comparative analysis on casting quality shows that the bottom pouring design is reasonable and feasible, and good surface quality, few casting defects such as porosity, slag hole, and so on, could be realized, significantly improving quality of cylinder head.
The μLSF is a micro-plastic forming method with the laser-induced shock load generated by the plasma in confined medium. It is characterized in the high-pressure and ultra-high strain ratio. This paper developed the model of metal micro-bulk forming by laser shock, simulated the process of forming and compared the influence law of forming depth under the conditions of different laser energy ranging from 3J to 10.6J and sheet thickness ranging from 0.13mm to 0.30mm on. It showed that there exists a threshold for magnitude of the laser energy. The forming depth increased with the increase of magnitude when the magnitude was smaller than the threshold. However, it decreased with the increase of magnitude when the magnitude was larger than the threshold. When the magnitude of the laser energy was chosen, the forming depth presented non-linear reduction with the increase of sheet thickness.

In order to solve the forming difficulty occurring in the microforming microparts made of hard-to-deform materials, the experimental study on laser-assisted heating of the micropart of aluminum alloy was performed by means of pulsed laser. With the help of ABAQUS finite element software, the coupled thermomechanical finite element model of microupset was built up based on laser-assisted heating method. Then the temperature distribution of the workpiece and microforming process were simulated and analyzed. The results show that the temperature field distributions are oval and flatting with the certain laser parameters (laser power is 800mW,heating time is 0. 08s and spot radius is 0. 1mm) , and that the temperature distribution is uniform after a very short time. The microforming stress using laser-heating method decreased about 30% compared with that of room temperature. The obtained results are helpful to improve the microforming properties of plastic materials and perfect micro- hot and microwarm forming process.
The springback behaviour in microbending is more challenging due to the recovery of the metal and the scale effect shown in microforming. Experiment and numerical simulation are the two important approaches for forming analysis. By applying the static implicit and dynamic explicit codes, the numerical simulation of air bending of V-shape micro-component of brass C1200 was performed. The analysis was carried out using the commercial software ABAQUS. Firstly, the dynamic explicit method was applied in the micro-bending, then the static implicit method was used in unloading to obtain the springback amount. Some important problems in the simulation like the modeling, material model, springback analysis, were explained. The simulation results including the springback were in good agreement with the results of three-point bending experiment for ultra-thin metal sheet. It can be concluded from this investigation that the forming process and springback in microbending is feasible by finite element analysis.
As a new type sheet metal,tailor rolling blanks have forming defects,such as wrinkling,broken and the movement of the transition zone.The defects can be eliminated or reduced and formability can be improved by reasonable control mode of the BHF.The drawing depth,the movement of the transition zone,the strain path etc.of TRB with constant or variational BHF of one-piece holder were studied by the finite-element software ABAQUS.The numerical simulation result indicates that forming depth can be increased by 12.5%,and the movement of the bottom box center and ultimate strain can be reduced by comparing increasing BHF with constant BHF.
Numerical simulation was made on parameters like thickness ratio of sheet metals,its shapes and dimensions,blank holder force and die radius that affect the formation of square box made of tailor rolled blanks.Through orthogonal experiments,the forming depth and movement amounts of transition zone on different conditions were contrasted and analyzed.The strain path of dangerous points was adjusted and an optimized scheme was determined to improve the formability of tailor rolled blanks.
By the numerical simulation and experiments,the process analysis of draw-bending and draw-trimming of the tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) with the thickness ratio 1.2 mm/0.8 mm are made,in which the effect of the blank holder force (BHF), friction factor and die profile radius,etc.on the springback are mainly investigated.The TWBs' springhack angle in the corner of punch and die,the total springhack angle and the sidewall curvature are surveyed in draw-bending and draw-trimming.And the welded line movement,the stress distribution in TWBs forming and their interact relationship are analyzed.The TWBs' springback in draw-bending and draw-trimming are badly influenced by the BHF,friction factor,die profile radius etc.,in which the BHF is the key factor;there is an intimate relationship between TWBs' draw-bending springback/draw-trimming springhack and welded-line movement,by which it will be advantageous to reduce the TWBs' springback through controlling the welded-line movement.In comparison,the TWBs' draw-trimming springhack is smaller than the TWBs' draw-bending springback,so it is better to use draw-trimming process for controlling TWBs' springback and improving the shape precision of TWBs' forming.
