In this study, a high-temperature titanium alloy, Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si, was prepared under different HIP temperatures (880–1000℃), and the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the HIPed alloys were predominantly composed of more than 80 vol.% α phase and a small amount of β phase, and their phase compositions were basically unaffected by the HIP temperatures. Under the typical single-temperature-maintained HIP (STM-HIP) regime, the microstructure of alloy significantly coarsened as the HIP temperature increased, and the alloy strength exhibited an obvious linear negative correlation with the HIP temperature. On the basis of Hall–Petch relation, the prediction model of grain size was established, and the mathematical equation between HIP temperature and grain size (d=M(T_(HIP-N)^(-2))) was deduced. Furthermore, a possible evolution mechanism of microstructure was proposed, which could be divided into the decomposition of initial α′ martensite for as-received powder, formation of the globular α grains in prior particle boundaries (PPBs) region, and precipitation of the platelet α grains in non-PPBs region. For these alloys prepared by the dual-temperature-maintained HIP (DTM-HIP) regime, although their tensile properties were comparable to that of alloy prepared by STM-HIP regime with same high-temperature holding stage, higher proportion of globular α grains occurred due to more recrystallization nucleation during the low-temperature holding stage, which probably provided a solution for improving the dynamic service performance of HIPed alloys.展开更多

The sample was observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X–ray spectroscopy and X–ray diffraction. The results show that during the hot pressing process, W atoms dissolve substantially into the MoxC crystal lattices; whilst, the reverse dissolution of Mo atoms into the WC crystal lattices takes place. Consequently, the main phase and binder phase structure are formed. The phase compositions of the main phase and binder phase are a WC-based solid solution containing Mo and a Mo2C-based solid solution containing W, respectively. The isotropic dissolution and precipitation of W and Mo atoms do not result in substantial carbide coarsening. The mechanism for the densification was discussed.展开更多

The consolidation conditions of the Cu50Zr40Ti10 amorphous powder were investigated based on an L9（34） orthogonal design. The compression strength and strain limit of the Cu50Zr40Ti10 bulk amorphous alloys can reach up to 1090.4 MPa and 11.9 %, respectively. The consolidation pressure significantly influences the strain limit and compression strength of the compact. But the mechanical properties are not significantly influenced by the consolidation temperature. In addition, the preforming pressure significantly influences not the compression strength but the strain limit. The optimum consolidation condition for the Cu50Zr40Ti10 amorphous powder is first precompacted under the pressure of 150 MPa, and then consolidated under the pressure of 450 MPa and the temperature of 380 °C.展开更多

The effe...The 2024Al/Gr/SiC hybrid composite plates with 5%-10% SiC particles （volume fraction） and 3%-6% flaky graphite （Gr） （volume fraction） were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing and hot extrusion processing. The effects of SiC and Gr on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites aged at 160, 175 and 190℃ were studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and hardness and tensile tests. The results indicate that the SiC particles have a more obvious effect on accelerating the aging response as compared with the Gr. Both the tensile strength and elongation are reduced by the Gr and SiC particles added into the matrix, while the Gr has a more negative influence on the elongation than the SiC particles. The tensile strength （ab）, yield stress （as） and elongation （δ） of the 2024Al/3Gr/10SiC composite aged at 165℃ for 8 h are 387 MPa, 280.3 MPa and 5.7%, respectively. The hybrid composites are characterized by ductile fracture, which is associated with the ductile fracture of the matrix and the tearing of the interface between the matrix and the particles.展开更多

Optimized HIPping parameters of temperature range from 900 to 940℃, pressure over 100 MPa and holding time of 3 h, were obtained. Tensile properties after different heat treatments show that both the geometry of samples and cooling rate have a significant influence on mechanical properties. Finite element method was used to predict the temperature field distribution during HIPped sample cooling, and the experimental results are in agreement with simulation prediction. The interaction of HIPping parameters was analyzed based on the response surface methodology（RSM） in this study.展开更多

During HIP process, shrinkage porosity was closed by grain compatible deformation and subsequent diffusion across the bonding interface. The amount of initial shrinkage porosity was the key factor for shrinkage porosity closure. HIP was testified to be effective on shrinkage porosity reduction in GW63 alloy due to its relatively narrow solidification range and resultant low content of initial shrinkage porosity in most sections, leading to higher tensile properties both in as-cast and cast-T6 condition. The improvement in tensile properties was mainly because of shrinkage porosity reduction and resultant effective rare-earth (RE) elements homogenization and precipitation strengthening.展开更多

The influence of HIPing loading route parameters （temperature and rates of heating and pressurizing） on microstructure and properties of PM Ti2AINb alloys was studied. The results showed that HIPing loading route parameters affected the densification process and mechanical properties （especially high temper- ature rupture lifetime） of PM Ti2AINb alloys in the present work. A finite element method （FEM） model for predicting the final densification was developed and was used to optimize the HIPing procedure.展开更多

Fully dense Ti2AlNb alloy was prepared by powder metallurgy(PM) using hot isostatic pressing. The properties of pre-alloyed powder and PM Ti2AlNb alloy were tested. Results show that mean grain size of PM Ti2AlNb alloy is infl uenced by powder particle size, but particle size has no signifi cant infl uence on tensile properties. Finer Ti2AlNb powder has low Argon gas bubble ratio and high oxygen content, and poor fl owability of fi ner powder increases the degree of diffculty during degassing. As a result, big pores(> 50 μm) are observed in PM Ti2AlNb alloy prepared by fi ner powder and cause plasticity loss of tensile properties. In order to get a better comprehensive properties of PM Ti2AlNb alloy, powder with an average size(~ 100 μm) is suggested.展开更多

Effects of height reduction （HR） and deformation temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the magnets were investigated. The crystal structure was evaluated by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD） and the microstructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The magnetic properties of the magnets were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. As the height reduction increased, the remanence （Br） of the magnets increased first, peaks at 1.3 T with HR=60%, then decreased again, and the coercivity （Hci） of the magnets decreased monotonically. On the other hand, as the deformation temperature increased, the Br of the magnets increased first, peaks at 1.36 T with HR=60%, then decreased again, and the H^i of the magnets decreased monotonically. Under optimal conditions, the hot deformed magnet possessed excellent magnetic properties as Brl.36 T, Hci=1143 kA/m, and （BH）max=370 kJ/m3, suggesting the good potential of the magnets in practical applications.展开更多

文摘Al-doped ZnO （AZO） target was prepared by hot pressing using ZnO and Al2O3 powder in mass ratio of 98：2.The effects of hot pressing conditions including temperature,pressure and preserving time on relative density were investigated.Pore evolution and phase structure change during densification process were studied.The results show that AZO target with super high relative density of 99% was prepared by two-stage hot pressing method under pressure of 35MPa,temperature of 1 050℃ and 1 150℃ with preserving time of 1 h,respectively.At temperature around 1 050℃,the number of isolated pore wasminimum.At temperature lower than 900℃,there existed Al2O3 phase.At temperature higher than 1 000℃,ZnAl2O4 phase was generated and its content was increased with temperature increasing.Hot pressing method had the advantage over pressureless sintering that the content of ZnAl2O4 was lower and sintering temperature could be also lower.With increasing the hot pressing temperature and preserving time,the electric resistivity of AZO target decreased greatly.A low resistivity of 3 10-3 cm was achieved under the temperature of 1 100℃,pressure of 35MPa and preserving time of 10 h.

文摘WC-6MoxC-0.47Cr3C2-0.28VC binderless carbide was prepared by hot pressing （1700 °C, 20 MPa）. The sample was observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X–ray spectroscopy and X–ray diffraction. The results show that during the hot pressing process, W atoms dissolve substantially into the MoxC crystal lattices; whilst, the reverse dissolution of Mo atoms into the WC crystal lattices takes place. Consequently, the main phase and binder phase structure are formed. The phase compositions of the main phase and binder phase are a WC-based solid solution containing Mo and a Mo2C-based solid solution containing W, respectively. The isotropic dissolution and precipitation of W and Mo atoms do not result in substantial carbide coarsening. The mechanism for the densification was discussed.

文摘Cu50Zr40Ti10 bulk amorphous alloys were fabricated by hot pressing gas-atomized Cu50Zr40Ti10 amorphous powder under different consolidation conditions without vacuum and inert gas protection. The consolidation conditions of the Cu50Zr40Ti10 amorphous powder were investigated based on an L9（34） orthogonal design. The compression strength and strain limit of the Cu50Zr40Ti10 bulk amorphous alloys can reach up to 1090.4 MPa and 11.9 %, respectively. The consolidation pressure significantly influences the strain limit and compression strength of the compact. But the mechanical properties are not significantly influenced by the consolidation temperature. In addition, the preforming pressure significantly influences not the compression strength but the strain limit. The optimum consolidation condition for the Cu50Zr40Ti10 amorphous powder is first precompacted under the pressure of 150 MPa, and then consolidated under the pressure of 450 MPa and the temperature of 380 °C.
文摘The 2024Al/Gr/SiC hybrid composite plates with 5%-10% SiC particles （volume fraction） and 3%-6% flaky graphite （Gr） （volume fraction） were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing and hot extrusion processing. The effects of SiC and Gr on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites aged at 160, 175 and 190℃ were studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and hardness and tensile tests. The results indicate that the SiC particles have a more obvious effect on accelerating the aging response as compared with the Gr. Both the tensile strength and elongation are reduced by the Gr and SiC particles added into the matrix, while the Gr has a more negative influence on the elongation than the SiC particles. The tensile strength （ab）, yield stress （as） and elongation （δ） of the 2024Al/3Gr/10SiC composite aged at 165℃ for 8 h are 387 MPa, 280.3 MPa and 5.7%, respectively. The hybrid composites are characterized by ductile fracture, which is associated with the ductile fracture of the matrix and the tearing of the interface between the matrix and the particles.
文摘The effects of temperature and pressure on density, microstructure and mechanical properties of powder compacts during hot isostatic pressing（HIPping） were investigated. Optimized HIPping parameters of temperature range from 900 to 940℃, pressure over 100 MPa and holding time of 3 h, were obtained. Tensile properties after different heat treatments show that both the geometry of samples and cooling rate have a significant influence on mechanical properties. Finite element method was used to predict the temperature field distribution during HIPped sample cooling, and the experimental results are in agreement with simulation prediction. The interaction of HIPping parameters was analyzed based on the response surface methodology（RSM） in this study.

文摘Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was applied to Mg-6Gd-3Y-0.5Zr (GW63) alloy to reduce shrinkage porosity, thus, to enhance the integrity and reliability of castings. During HIP process, shrinkage porosity was closed by grain compatible deformation and subsequent diffusion across the bonding interface. The amount of initial shrinkage porosity was the key factor for shrinkage porosity closure. HIP was testified to be effective on shrinkage porosity reduction in GW63 alloy due to its relatively narrow solidification range and resultant low content of initial shrinkage porosity in most sections, leading to higher tensile properties both in as-cast and cast-T6 condition. The improvement in tensile properties was mainly because of shrinkage porosity reduction and resultant effective rare-earth (RE) elements homogenization and precipitation strengthening.
文摘In this work, hot isostatic pressing （HIPing） technique was used to densify the Ti2AINb pre-alloyed powder. The influence of HIPing loading route parameters （temperature and rates of heating and pressurizing） on microstructure and properties of PM Ti2AINb alloys was studied. The results showed that HIPing loading route parameters affected the densification process and mechanical properties （especially high temper- ature rupture lifetime） of PM Ti2AINb alloys in the present work. A finite element method （FEM） model for predicting the final densification was developed and was used to optimize the HIPing procedure.
文摘Pre-alloyed powder of Ti2AlNb alloy was prepared by electrode induction gas atomization method, and the powder was screened into fi ve kinds of powder size distribution. Fully dense Ti2AlNb alloy was prepared by powder metallurgy(PM) using hot isostatic pressing. The properties of pre-alloyed powder and PM Ti2AlNb alloy were tested. Results show that mean grain size of PM Ti2AlNb alloy is infl uenced by powder particle size, but particle size has no signifi cant infl uence on tensile properties. Finer Ti2AlNb powder has low Argon gas bubble ratio and high oxygen content, and poor fl owability of fi ner powder increases the degree of diffculty during degassing. As a result, big pores(> 50 μm) are observed in PM Ti2AlNb alloy prepared by fi ner powder and cause plasticity loss of tensile properties. In order to get a better comprehensive properties of PM Ti2AlNb alloy, powder with an average size(~ 100 μm) is suggested.

文摘Structure and magnetic properties were studied for bulk nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets that were prepared at 650 ℃ for 3 min under 300 MPa using the SPS-3.20-MK-V sintering machine and the hot pressed magnets were then submitted to hot deformation with height reduction of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 85%. Effects of height reduction （HR） and deformation temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the magnets were investigated. The crystal structure was evaluated by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD） and the microstructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The magnetic properties of the magnets were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. As the height reduction increased, the remanence （Br） of the magnets increased first, peaks at 1.3 T with HR=60%, then decreased again, and the coercivity （Hci） of the magnets decreased monotonically. On the other hand, as the deformation temperature increased, the Br of the magnets increased first, peaks at 1.36 T with HR=60%, then decreased again, and the H^i of the magnets decreased monotonically. Under optimal conditions, the hot deformed magnet possessed excellent magnetic properties as Brl.36 T, Hci=1143 kA/m, and （BH）max=370 kJ/m3, suggesting the good potential of the magnets in practical applications.

文摘Diffusion bonding between aluminum and copper was performed by vacuum hot pressing at temperatures between 623 and 923 K through two thermal processes： hot compression under the deformation rate of 0.2 mrrdmin for 10 rain at pre-set temperatures, and additional pressing at 0.2 mm/min for 20 rain during furnace cooling. After analyzing interface, the feasible diffusion bonding temperature was suggested as 823 K. The three major intermetallic layers generated during diffusion bonding process were identified as AIECu, AlCu＋AlaCu4 and Al4Cu9. Furthermore, local hardness values ofAlECU, AlCu＋AlaCu4 and Al4Cu9 layers average at （4.97±0.05）, （6.33±0.00） and （6.06±0.18） GPa, respectively.
