In the present work, Cu-Pb-Sn and Q235 laminated composite were fabricated by a horizontal semisolid rolling procedure. The interfacial structure, elemental distribution, and properties of the composite were investigated. Finite-element simulation was conducted to analyze the temperature field and solidification process during the semisolid rolling. An appropriate semi-solid region was observed at a pouring temperature of 1598 K in the simulation, which would effectively kept fluidity and avoided casting defects. The experimental results showed that good interface between Cu-Pb-Sn alloy and Q235 steel was achieved by the proposed process at 1598 K, without casting defects or excessive deformation. The Cu and Fe alloys were bonded mainly by the diffusion of Fe into Cu matrix, and a handful of microscopic Pb-rich layer. Fine Pb-rich precipitates were uniformly distributed in the Cu-Pb-Sn alloy, and were considered to be advantageous to the self-lubrication property. The average tensile-shear strength of the interface was higher than 57.68 MPa at a pouring temperature of 1598 K, which fulfilled the requirements for a further extrusion process.

We consider the problem of dynamic coupling between the rapid thermal solidification and mechanical compression of steel in twin-roll steel strip casting. In traditional steel casting, molten steel is first solidified into thick slabs and then compressed via a series of rollers to create thin sheets of steel. In twin-roll casting, these two processes are combined, thereby making control of the overall system significantly more challenging. Therefore, a simple and accurate model that characterizes these coupled dynamics is needed for model-based control of the system. We model the solidification process with explicit consideration for the mushy (semi-solid) region of steel by using a lumped parameter moving boundary approach. The moving boundaries are also used to estimate the size and composition of the region of steel that must be compressed to maintain a uniform strip thickness. A novelty of the proposed model is the use of a stiffening spring to characterize the stiffness of the resultant strip as a function of the relative amount of mushy and solid steel inside the compression region. In turn this model is used to determine the force required to carry out the compression. Simulation results demonstrate key features of the overall model.

Semi-solid forming (SSF) involves alloys with non-dendrite microstructure that contain spherical solid particles in the liquid matrix. This process is generally divided into three main steps: feedstock manufacturing, reheating and forming. Feedstock has the main effect on the cost and quality of product. Many researches have been carried out to reduce the cost of feedstock manufacturing. Slope plate is a simple semi-solid process that can reduce the cost of feedstock. In this study a Cu plate with water and without water circulation was used to investigate the effect of pouring temperature, cooling rate during casting and solidification in the mold on the microstructure. Cast ingots with optimized microstructure were reheated in various time and temperatures in semi-solid region to obtain kinetics of globularization and solid grain growth.

The interfacial structure between the organic and inorganic phases in biological hard tissues plays an important role in controlling the growth and the mechanical properties of these materials. The objective of this work was to investigate these interfaces in nacre by transmission electron microscopy. The nacreous section of several different seashells -- abalone, pearl oyster, and nautilus -- were studied. Nacre is a laminated composite material consisting of CaCO3 platelets (constituting > 90 vol.% of the overall composite) separated by a thin organic matrix. Nacre is of interest to biomimetics because of its highly ordered structure and a good combination of mechanical properties. In this study, electron transparent thin sections were prepared by a low-temperature ion-beam milling procedure and by ultramicrotomy. To reveal structures in the organic layers as well as in the interfacial region, samples were further subjected to chemical fixation and labeling, or chemical etching. All experiments were performed with a Philips 430T TEM/STEM at 300 keV with a liquid Nitrogen sample holder.

AbstractInterfacial structure greatly affects the mechanical properties of laminated plates. However, the critical material properties that impact the interfacial morphology, appearance, and associated bonding mechanism of explosive welded plates are still unknown. In this paper, the same base plate (AZ31B alloy) and different flyer metals (aluminum alloy, copper, and stainless steel) were used to investigate interfacial morphology and structure. SEM and TEM results showed that typical sine wave, wave-like, and half-wave-like interfaces were found at the bonding interfaces of Al/Mg, Cu/Mg and SS/Mg clad plates, respectively. The different interfacial morphologies were mainly due to the differences in hardness and yield strength between the flyer and base metals. The results of the microstructural distribution at the bonding interface indicated metallurgical bonding, instead of the commonly believed solid-state bonding, in the explosive welded clad plate. In addition, the shear strength of the bonding interface of the explosive welded Al/Mg, Cu/Mg and SS/Mg clad plates can reach up to 201.2 MPa, 147.8 MPa, and 128.4 MPa, respectively. The proposed research provides the design basis for laminated composite metal plates fabrication by explosive welding technology.

At present, pulley produced in China has been able to meet the demand of domestic and international markets. But there are many problem of the pulley industry in our country, such as too many production enterprises and the low level of export products. And as components of drive system are light weight and raw material price of pulley casting are rising, manufacturing requirements of the pulley are also more and more high. Aiming at the casting defects of pulley that enterprise current product, pulley casting blank model of common material HT250 be made by three-dimension software, numerical simulation of filling and solidification process for pulley sand casting by the casting simulation software Procast, the size and location of the various casting defects were forecasted and analyzed, reflecting the pulley filling and solidification process of the actual situation, due to the thicker pulley rim and less heat dissipation, position of shrinkage is close to the middle of rim [, a method of eliminating defects is proposed to realize sequential solidification, and thus to minimize porosity shrinkage and improve casting performance and reduce casting time and reduce production costs.

Abstracts: This paper presents an overview of measured mechanical properties of thixoformed aluminium 7075 feedstock produced by the direct thermal method (DTM). The DTM feedstock billets were processed with a pouring temperature of 685 °C and holding periods of 20 s, 40 s and 60 s before being quenched and subsequently thixoformed. A conventionally cast feedstock billet was produced with a pouring temperature of 685 °C and was allowed to solidify without quenching. The feedstock billets were later formed by an injection test unit in the semi-solid state. Tensile testing was then conducted on the thixoformed feedstock billets. Tensile properties for 7075 DTM thixoformed feedstock billets were found significantly influenced by the thixoformed component density. Samples with longer holding times were found to have higher density and higher tensile strength.
