Abstract:
At present, the effective ways to improve the cleanliness of S50C die steel are Ca or Mg-Al treatment processes. In order to explore the effect difference of two kinds of modification process of S50C killed steel, evaluate the industrial application prospect of the two processes, and clarify the modification mechanism. In this paper, the advantages of Mg-Al modification are demonstrated from the aspects of theoretical basis and actual sample modification effect. The thermodynamics and kinetics of inclusion precipitation, composition, morphology, and distribution are analyzed. The results show that: the precipitation temperature of MnS in S50C die steel is 1686 K, the corresponding solid-phase rate is 0.98. In Mg-Al modification, when the Al content is 332 ppm, the Mg content should be controlled below 14.1 ppm. When the Al content is higher than 0.02%, the Ca content should be controlled below 28.7 ppm. Kinetic calculations show that the equilibrium shape size of MnS is in the range of 0.3‑1.4 µm. Both modifications increase the nucleation rate of inclusions and control the shape and size of inclusions by pre-precipitation. Ca treatment is preventing the formation of large inclusions by forming calcium aluminate. Mg can provide more uniform nucleation sites and form smaller inclusions.Keywords:

Micro-nanostructured WC composite coatings were successfully fabricated by induced heating sintering method on the surface of Q235 steel. The microstructure, micr-hardness and wear resistance of the composite coatings were studied. The results show that the microstructure of induced heating layer is mainly composed of Ni-based solid solutions and WC particles. And there exists excellent metallurgical bonding between coating and substrate. The wear resistance of micro-nanostructured WC composite coatings is increased by 0.5 times on an average as compared with that of micro structured coatings.

Ball-milled Ti powder and C powder with different ratio were pressed into a preform,the preform was adhered on an EPS foam model;high-temperature liquid steel was poured by V-EPC to ignite the SHS reaction,the Ti C-particle-reinforced steel- matrix composite material was prepared. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite material were studied with X-ray,OM,TEM,EDS and through hardness test. The result indicates that the alloy layers of the composites are of quality surface with fine and dense structure. The composite material consists of three parts,namely,the composite layer,the transition layer and the matrix. The composite layer is composed of Ti C,(Fe,Ti)C particle and α-Fe matrix,the Ti C particles are of ball or ball-like shape and are evenly distributed. The hardness of the composite material decreases from outside to inside,and the highest hardness is 70 HRC.

A new Al-Ti fibers reinforced Mg alloy matrix composite was fabricated by powder metallurgy and its microstructure was examined using OM, SEM and XRD. It is shown that there was a better interface of bonding between the Al-Ti fiber and Mg alloy matrix, and the fibers were not damaged in the course of preparing. A few precipitates of Mg 17 Al 12 with a diameter less than 1.5μm were found at the interfaces.

Two Al 2 O 3 –TiB 2 composite coatings were deposited by axial plasma spray using two types of feedstocks. One of the feedstocks was a conventional micrometre sized Al 2 O 3 –30 wt-%TiB 2 composite powder from a self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process. The second was fabricated by spray drying SHSed Al 2 O 3 –30 wt-%TiB 2 composite powder doped with 10 mass-% nanosized Al 2 O 3 powder. The microstructure of the feedstocks and as sprayed coatings were comparatively investigated by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Wear resistance of as sprayed coatings were assessed using block on ring wear test at room temperature. Results showed that Al 2 O 3 –TiB 2 composite coatings were composed of α-Al 2 O 3 , γ-Al 2 O 3 , TiB 2 and a small amount of TiO 2 . TiB 2 that mostly remained in the shape of undeformed particle were dispersedly distributed in the matrix of the composite coatings. The coating from spray dried powder exhibited finer and denser microstructure and demonstrated better wear resistance than the coating from the SHSed powder under the same sliding conditions.

AbstractAbstractThe relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of composites of squeeze cast Al–Cu and Al–Cu–Mg reinforced with 25 vol.-%SiC whiskers was investigated. Tensile test results were compared with values calculated using a modified rule of mixtures (ROM). The results were found to be in good agreement for the Al–Cu matrix composite, whereas a relatively large discrepancy was observed for the Al–Cu–Mg matrix composite. It was concluded from microstructural observations that this difference resulted from a reduction of the whisker strength due to more pronounced decoration of the interfaces by oxides and spinels. For the Al–Cu–Mg composite, the effect of interfacial phases on the composite strength must betaken into account when the modified ROM is applied.MST/1242
