Zk60 Alloy

Based on the principle of grain refinement caused by the second-phase particles, a phase field model was built to describe the recrystallization process in the ZK60 alloy system with Y added under applied stress between temperatures 573 and 673 K for 140 min duration. The simulation of grain growth with second phase particles and applied stress during annealing process on industrial scale on the condition of real time-space was achieved. Quantitative analysis was carried out and some useful laws were revealed in ZK60 alloy system. The second phase particles had a promoting effect on the grain refinement, however the effect weakened significantly when the content exceeded 1.5%. Our simulation results reveal the existence of a critical range of second phase particle size of 0.3–0.4 μm, within which a microstructure of fine grains can be obtained. Applied stress increased the grain coarsening rate significantly when the stress was more than 135 MPa. The critical size of the second phase particles was 0.4–0.75 μm when the applied stress was 135 MPa. Finally, a microstructure with a grain size of 11.8–13.8 μm on average could be obtained when the second phase particles had a content of 1.5% and a size of 0.4–0.75 μm with an applied stress less than 135 Mpa after 30 min annealing at 573 K.

The solid solution of the second phase particle and austenite grain growth behavior of the high niobium-containing RE steel was studied by mathematical calculation and extraction replica technique. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of Rare Earth La on austenite grain growth and propose an empirical equation for predicting the austenite grain size of RE steel. Austenite grain grows in an exponential law with the increase of heating temperature, while approximately in a parabolic law with the increase of holding time. Results show that the RE steel has good anti-coarsening ability at elevated temperatures. When soaking temperature is lower than 1250°C , AGS and growth rate are small for high niobium steel, but soaking temperature is lower than 1220°C , AGS and growth rate are small for RE steel. RE La can promote solid solution of second-phase particles Nb(C, N), the solution temperature decrease 30°C than high niobium steel.

Inspired by steel forming strategies, this study focuses on the effect of differential cooling on mechanical properties and precipitation kinetics during hot stamping of high strength AA7075 alloy. For this aim, different forming strategies were performed using segmented and differentially heated forming tools to provide locally tailored microstructures. Upon processing, uniaxial tensile tests and hardness measurements were used to characterize the mechanical properties after the aging treatment. Microstructure investigations were conducted to examine the strengthening mechanisms using the electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) technique in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the obtained results, it can be deduced that the tool temperatures play a key role in influencing the mechanical properties. Lower tool temperatures result in higher material strength and higher tool temperatures in lower mechanical properties. By changing the cooling rate with the use of differently heated forming tools, the mechanical properties can be controlled. Microstructure investigations revealed the formation of very fine and homogeneously distributed particles at cooled zones, which were associated with elevated mechanical properties due to the suppression of second phase particle formation during cooling. In contrast, coarse particles were observed at lower cooling rates, explaining the lower material strength found in these zones.

Alloy Microstructure

Following solidification, an aluminum alloy microstructure is highly segregated. The microstructure consists of cored dendrites with various soluble and insoluble phases present in the inter-dendritic regions. The solidification rate has a marked effect on the amount of coring as well as grain dimensions and second phase particle size and spacing. Post-solidification cooling rates as well as subsequent heat treatments also affect the evolution of the microstructure. Understanding the effects of these thermal treatments is important in explaining differences in microstructures that are observed in alloys of identical compositions. The focus of this study is to determine the interaction between the coring of copper across dendrites during solidification and the precipitation of dispersoids during the homogenization treatments of an alloy. An aluminum alloy whose composition is in the range of Al-4Cu-0.3Fe-0.4Mn-0.2Si is ideally suited for this study for several reasons. First it is similar to a host of commercial aluminum copper alloys, and the presence of Mn, Fe, and Si affect the distribution of particles that control grain morphology in these alloys. Preliminary experimental results are discussed. Current numerical analysis techniques will be examined and possible methods to treat the problem will be presented.
