Low-density Fe-Mn-Al-C steels with high strength and excellent ductility have become a promising type of material in the automotive industry. Thus, a new approach was proposed by using centrifugal casting to produce the low-density Fe-12Mn-9Al-1.2C steel with high performance under near-rapid solidification in a near-net shape. The produced steel strips, with a thickness of 2.5 mm and a density of 6.89 g/cm3, were examined for their microstructures and mechanical properties. The results showed that mechanical properties of as-cast steel strip reached 1182 MPa in ultimate tensile strength and 28.1% in total elongation. Aging treatment at 400 or 600℃ for 3 h enhanced tensile strength of the steel strips, while aging at 800℃ dramatically decreased its elongation. Moreover, Young＇ s modulus of the steel strip improved with the increment of aging temperature. The relationship between the mechanical properties and the microstructures was discussed. The results demonstrated that advanced low-density steels with promising mechanical properties could be directly produced from liquid by this simple process.展开更多

The highest area ratio of equiaxed grain zone in the hyper-peritectic of Fe-4.7wt.%Ni alloy strip was observed, while other strips were mainly columnar grains. The lowest micro-segregation was obtained in the Fe-7.9wt.%Ni alloy strip, while micro-segregation in the Fe-4.7wt.%Ni alloy was the highest. As opposed to the microsegregation, the macro-segregation of all the Fe-Ni strips was suppressed due to the rapid solidification rate. Finally, the structure formation mechanism of Fe-Ni alloy strips was analyzed.展开更多

The results show that at the given temperature gradient the obtained microstrvctures are all cells and there exists a wide distribution range of cellular spacing. The maximum, λmax, minimum, λmin, and average cellular spacing, λ, as functions of growth rate, V, can be given by λmax=948.51V-0.4961, λmin= 661.16V-0.5015 and λ=412.41V-0.5049, respectively. The experimental results are compared with that predicted by KGT model, and a good agreement is found. Moreover,it is found that the average cellular spacing is also remarkably history-dependent.展开更多

For the purpose of controlling and adjusting of the interfacial thermal resistance, the effects of C/BN, Zn and organic coatings on the instantaneous interracial heat flux and the solidified structure of AISI304 stainless steel solidification on copper substrate have been investiga- ted by using an experimental simulator. The results show that C/BN coatings can improve the uniformity of heat flux and solidified structure; Zn coating can increase the heat flux and solidification rate in the growth stage of the solidified shell; organic coating will decrease the heat flux and the solidification rate and make re-melted structure on the surface of the solidified shell.展开更多
