Refinement Effect

The texture feature and grain refinement effect of Al-5Ti-C alloy on pure aluminum were analyzed and its attenuation mechanism was discussed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and other experimental methods.The results show that: Al-5Ti-C alloy is composed of Al, TiAl3 and TiC. Al-5Ti-C alloy has a good grain refining capacity for commercially pure aluminum. During the heat preservation process, due to precipitation of titanium compound in the aluminum melt, refinement effect of Al-Ti-C alloy is declined.

The Al-5Ti-0.62C master alloy was prepared through a method of thermal explosion in molten aluminum. The process of remelting and refining of commercially pure aluminum was conducted, and precipitation samples with different heat-treatment times were obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), and other techniques were used to analyze the microstructure of the precipitates at the bottom of the samples so as to explore the fading mechanism of Al-Ti-C alloy refinement. The results showed that an obvious precipitation phenomenon of titanium compounds existed in the remelted Al-5Ti-0.62C master alloy and that there were both TiC compounds and TiAl3compounds in the precipitates; in the refined pure aluminum samples, the precipitates were mainly TiC compounds. Precipitation of titanium compounds in aluminum melting is the main cause of fading in the refinement effect of an Al-Ti-C master alloy.

Al3ti Particle

AlTiC master alloys have been prepared by Contact Reaction Method（CRM）.X-ray diffraction，SEM and EDS were used to analyse the AlTiC master alloys. It showed that morphology and distribution of TiC and Al3Ti particle have correspondingly changed with the transformation of temperature. As a result, the change in morphology and distribution of TiC and Al3Ti particle has considerably affected the gain refining performance of AlTiC master alloys.

Heat Preservation

The grain refining effects of Al-Ti, Al-TiC and Al-Ti-C master alloys on commercially pure aluminum were compared, and the grain refinement mechanism of TiAl3 and TiC among master alloys was discussed. The results show that: the grain refinement of the master alloys Al-TiC and Al-Ti toward pure aluminum mainly stems from the heterogeneous nucleation role of TiC and TiAl3 particles, but with the extension of heat preservation time of fused mass, its role of heterogeneous nucleation will decline due to dissolution of TiAl3 and aggregation and precipitation of TiC. The preferable grain refinement effects of Al-Ti-C master alloys toward pure aluminum are mainly due to the fact that when TiAl3 and TiC particles are acted commonly as heterogeneous nucleation particles, the heterogeneous nucleation effect of TiC particles will be enhanced because of the presence of TiAl3.

Boriding Process

Abstract In this study, powder metallurgy was applied in a furnace atmosphere to form titanium boride layers on a commercially pure Ti surface. Experiments were carried out using the solid-state boriding method at 900 °C and 1000°C for 12 h and 24 h. Samples were produced by pressing the commercially pure Ti powders under 870 MPa. The sintering process required by the powder metallurgy method was carried out simultaneously with the boriding process. Thus, the sintering and boriding were performed in one stage. The formation of the boride layer was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, optical-light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental dispersion spectrometry analyses. In addition, microhardness measurements were performed to examine the effect of the boriding process on hardness. The Vickers microhardness of the boronized surface reached 1773 HV, which was much higher than the 150 HV hardness of the commercially pure Ti substrate. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the boriding process had enabled the formation of TiB and TiB2 on the powder metallurgy Ti substrate surface. Consequently, the production of Ti via powder metallurgy is a potentially cost-effective alternative to the conventional method, and the boriding process supplies TiB and TiB2 that provide super-high hardness and excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

In the present study, we present a novel method to sinter Cr3C2 powders under high pressure without any addittives. The sintering Cr3C2 samples were charaterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), relative density measurements, Vicker’s hardness tests and Fracture toughness tests. The reasults show that Cr3C2 powders could be sintered to be bulk under the conditions of 3-5 GPa, 800-1200 °C and the heat preservation for 15 min. Moreover, the sintering body of Cr3C2 compound with the relative density of 99.84% by simultaneously tuning the pressure-temperature conditions exhibited excellent mechanical properties: a Vickers hardness of 20.3 GPa and a fracture toughness of ~8.9 MPam1/2. These properties were much higher than that by using the previous methods. The temperature condition obtained good mechanical properties in the experiment was about 1/3 lower than that using any other methods owing to the high pressure.

Alumina nanowires have been synthesized by a simple electrochemical route, by tailoring the anodization process of aluminum. Two-stage anodization of pure aluminum foils were carried out in 0.3 M oxalic acid electrolyte by maintaining a constant current density of 250 A/m2 and suitably controlling the other anodization parameters: anodization voltage, bath temperature and anodization time. The fabricated alumina nanowires were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) study on the prepared nanowires shows that they are non-crystalline in nature. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of alumina nanowires exhibit two stable emission bands at 438 and 581 nm. The blue luminescence behavior of the alumina nanowires are attributed to the oxygen-deficient defect centers. PL study of alumina nanowires shows that they have potential applications in light emission devices.

In the present work, Al-Ca metallic compound was prepared in Mg-Ca alloys and the effects of Al-Ca metallic compound and different Al/Ca values on the grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism of grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys was discussed. The results showed that the grain size of Mg-0.5Ca alloy was obviously reduced from 550μm to 230μm due to the addition of Al. Al2Ca phase existed in these alloys and its morphology evolved from granular to rod-like. It is regarded as the main factor for the grain refinement.

The texture feature and grain refinement effect of Al-5Ti-B alloy on pure aluminum were analyzed and by adjusting the cooling velocity and casting temperature of molten aluminum,the influence of Al-5Ti-B alloy on solidification microstructure of pure aluminum was studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and other experimental methods. The results show that: Al-5Ti-B alloy is composed of Al, TiAl3 and TiB2. under the same solidified velocity,with the increase of the mass fraction of Al-5Ti-B alloy among the aluminum melt, solidification structure of pure aluminum equiaxed dendrite size small. But at the same additives of Al-5Ti-B alloy, the cooling rate and casting temperature have significant effects on the number and size of equiaxial crystal. Faster cooling rate and lower casting temperature of molten aluminum are favorable for the formation of thin equiaxial crystal of solidification microstructure.

Experiments were conducted to fabricate the Al4C3 particles by powder in-situ synthesis process under argon atmosphere and examine the grain refinement of AZ91D magnesium alloy with the addition of 0.6%Al4C3(hereafter in mass fraction,%). By means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), the results show the successful fabrication of Al4C3 particles. After adding 0.6%Al4C3, the average grain size of AZ91D magnesium alloy decreased from 360μm to 243μm. Based on the differential thermal analysis (DTA) results and calculations of the planar disregistry between Al4C3 and α-Mg, Al4C3 particles located in the central regions of magnesium grains can act as the heterogeneous nucleus of primary α-Mg phase.

AbstractThe A15 Phase forming V-Ga alloys were processed into ribbons and foils by rapid solidification techniques. Microstructures and phase transformation in these alloys by rapid solidification and succeeding heat treatment were investigated by x-ray diffraction and TEM. It is shown that equilibrium A15 phases can readily be suppressed by rapid quenching in these alloys. A significant grain refinement resulting from the rapid solidification also was observed. Microhardnesses of these alloys as a function of Ga concentration were determined.
