And the relation between the volume fraction of liquid phase and the recrystallization microstructure was proposed. The results show that increase in reheating temperature and time can augment the volume fraction of liquid phase and accelerate the grain spheroidization, as a result of which the requirement of semi-solid forming can be satisfied. Due to the higher aberration energy of grain boundary, the melting point is lowered as a result of the easy diffusion of atoms. At higher reheating temperature the grain boundary melts, the growth of the recrystallized grain is inhibited and the grain is refined. The composition of the low melt-point phase along the recrystallized grains was determined using EDS. It can be seen from the experimental results that when the extrusion rod of the wrought aluminum alloy is reheated at 610℃ for 20min, perfect fine equiaxial grains can be obtained, the average grain size is about 66.34μm and the volume fraction of solid phase is about 68%.展开更多

The thickness of the diffusion layer was examined. Theresults show that the alternative magnetic field increases the thickness of the diffusion layer andthe effect increases with the intensity and frequency of the alternative magnetic field increasing. The growth of the diffusion layer obeys the parabolic rate law and the growth rateincreases with the application of the alternative magnetic field. This growth rate change ismanifested through a change in the frequency factor k_0 and not through a change in the activationenergy Q. The frequency factor k_0 for the diffusion layer growth with the alternative magneticfield is 5.03 cm^2/s and the one without the magnetic field is 3.84 cm^2/s.展开更多

The electric field promotes the homogeneity of carbon, and reduces the free energy of austenite. The critical neuclus r* and the critical driving force G* responsible for the nucleation of proeutectoid ferrite were increased. As a result of which the diffusion controlled proeuctoid ferrite transformation was retarded and the hardenability was improved.展开更多
