CHEN Jun-zhou, HUANG Min, DAI Sheng-long. Texture Evolution of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Aluminum Alloy Plate During Cold Rolling[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 1-6.
The evolution of through-thickness texture in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy plate during cold rolling was investigated by using electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) technique.The results show that shear type texture {001}<110> near the surface of the plate tends to rotate towards a typical rolling texture consisted of Bs,S and Cu components with the reduction,while,at the quarter and the center of thickness,typical rolling texture rotates towards the {001}<110> orientation.Shear strain is the prime reason resulted in the transition from rolling texture to shear type texture.With the shear strain,Cu and Bs orientation rotates towards {001}<110> along Ф1=90° and Ф1=35°,respectively.

Using the first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave method based on density functional theory,the influences and micro-mechanisms of Mg atom vacancy defect on the dehydrogenation properties of MgH2 system were investigated.The results show that the appearance of Mg atom vacancy results in the shrinkage of crystal cell and distortion of MgH2 lattice,which significantly decreases the structural stability and remarkably improves the dehydrogenation kinetics of this system.Further analysis on electronic structures shows that the mico-mechanisms for Mg atom vacancy improving the dehydrogenation properties of MgH2 attribute to the decreasing bonding electrons number below Fermi energy level and the narrowing energy gap near Fermi energy level of MgH2 system with Mg atom vacancy.

To understand the effect of material plasticity on stress corrosion cracking(SCC) growth in structural materials at high temperature water environments of nuclear power plants,the stress-strain field at the tip of a SCC constituted by base metal and oxide film in nickel base alloy was analyzed by elastic plastic finite element method(EPFEM) in a commercial FEM code.The effects of yield stress on the stress-strain field at the tip of the SCC were obtained.The results show that the stress in the base metal zone increases as the material yield stress increases and the plastic strain in base metal zone decreases as the material yield stress increases at the crack tip,and show that both the stress and the plastic strain in the oxide film decreases as the material yield stress increases at the crack tip.
HAN Dong, DU Jun, LI Wen-fang. Effects of Grain Refinement on Tensile Properties of Mg-3Al Alloy Modified by Carbon and Alkaline-earth Elements[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 21-25.
The Mg-3Al alloy was modified by 0.2%C(mass fraction) and/or alkaline-earth elements of 0.2%Ca or 0.2%Sr to refine its grain size.The effect of grain refinement on the tensile properties of the Mg-3Al alloy was investigated.The results show that higher grain refining efficiency can be obtained for the Mg-3Al alloy modified by the combination of carbon and alkaline-earth elements.Compared to the Mg-3Al alloy without any treatment,the tensile properties of the Mg-3Al alloy are remarkably improved after being modified by the combination of carbon and a little addition of alkaline-earth elements.The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure are improved by about 20% and 40%,respectively.After being refined either by carbon or by the combination of carbon and a little addition of alkaline-earth elements,the main fracture mechanism is changed from cleavage mode with large cleavage planes for the unrefined Mg-3Al alloy to mixed mode of cleavage and quasi-cleavage fracture.The fracture surfaces are almost composed of small cleavage planes with thin river patterns and quasi-cleavage planes with severe plastic deformation.
LENG Jian-cheng, XU Min-qiang, WANG Kun, LI Jian-wei. Monitoring Fatigue Damage Using Magnetic Memory Technique[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 26-29.
Tension-tension fatigue experiments of demagnetized notched specimens made of middle-carbon 45 steel were conducted,and off-line magnetic signal characteristics in the stress concentration zone under different numbers of cycles were investigated using magnetic memory testing instrument simultaneously.The results show that an abnormal wave occurs in the notch position due to the leakage magnetic field caused by discontinuous geometric shape before loading,and may reverse after loading.The magnetic signal curves hardly change after the specimen is loaded in some specific number of cycles,and the wave heights in the notch increase with increasing cycle in the last stage until there is a sharp increase when the specimen fractured.Maximum magnetic field gradients of magnetic signals induced only by stress concentration were extracted by eliminating the disturbance of two clamps made of steel,and the fatigue procedure can be divided into four stages,which reflect different damage degree in the stress concentration zone.The experimentally measured damage values expressed by characteristic quantity of magnetic signal coincide with theoretically calculated fatigue damage evolution law,early predicting the residual fatigue lifetime.

The tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted at 1500℃ under 10-4 Pa vacuum with a sinusoidal loading-frequency of 20,60Hz and stress ratio R of 0.1 and 0.5 for 3D-braided carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites(3D-Cf/SiC) fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration(CVI) process.Morphology of fatigue fracture and microstructure of pyrocarbon interphase of 3D-Cf/SiC composites were observed by SEM and HRTEM respectively.The results show that while stress ratio is 0.1,the fatigue limit(based on 106 cycles) at 20Hz and 60Hz is 230MPa and 240MPa respectively.While stress ratio is 0.5,the fatigue limit is 230MPa at 60Hz.Fracture morphology is more rough in low fatigue stress-ratio,high loading-frequency and more fatigue cycles,and the pull-out lengths of fiber and fibers bundles on the fracture surface is longer.Nanoscale pyrocarbon flake of interphase curls up evidently.

LIU Jian-hua, SHENG Hua, LI Ming, LI Song-mei, YU Mei. Three Organic Corrosion Inhibitors on LY12CZ Aluminum Alloy in Acid Solution[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 41-47.
The inhibiting effect of three organic compounds on the corrosion of LY12CZ aluminum alloy in 0.5M H2SO4 solution was investigated.The organic compounds are 2-mercaptobenzoxazole(MBIH),benzotriazole(BTA) and 8-hydroxy-quinoline(8Q).The inhibiting effect to the corrosion dynamics of LY12CZ aluminum alloy in 0.5M H2SO4 solution was evaluated by using mass loss method and the corrosion morphology was observed by using optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM/EDS).Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization were used to study the inhibiting mechanism.The results show that MBIH,BTA and 8Q all provide anti-corrosion protection for LY12CZ aluminum alloy by forming a thin organic layer of insoluble complexes on the surface of the alloy.Their inhibitive properties are given by the following order: MBIH>BTA>8Q.MBIH and BTA provide anti-corrosion protection by absorbing selectively on the corrosion active intermetallic zones and suppressing the cathode processes of corrosion reaction.The whole surface of the alloy was absorbed by 8Q to form chelate 8Q complexes,but the absorbed layer was destroyed as the anode dissolution.
ZHANG Jiang-hong, ZHANG Ying-jie. Effects of Additives on Formation Interaction Mechanism of Rare Earth Conversion Coating of Zinc Plating[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 48-52.
It was of great significance to the efficient formation of rare earth conversion coating with high corrosion resistance by using chemical immersion method through the addition of oxidant and promoter of coating-formation for the preparation of rare earth conversion coating on the surface of zinc plating.The results show that through the electrochemistry test,morphology analysis and dynamics data calculation,reductive reaction at micro-cathode is speeded up by the addition of oxidant H2O2 into the treatment solution,and promoting the increase of pH within the micro-cathode region,which is favorable to the formation of conversion coating with high content of Ce.The addition of coating-formation promoter can improve the shape quality of the coating,whose essence is to lower effectively the apparent activation energy for coating-formation reaction with three stages,giving rise to the realization of promotion for conversion coating's growing.

The structure of surface original scale of 510L hot rolled strip was processed by heat treatment at different temperatures.Corrosion behavior of hot rolled strips with different oxide scales structure was investigated in sodium bisulfite solution by SEM,XRD,EDS,polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The results show that when temperature is below 570℃,the microstructure of oxide scale evolved into coniferous shape from granular with burr,the oxide scales become more dense and the relative content of Fe2O3 increases with temperature increasing.White diffusion-like phases on the oxide scales reduce with temperature adding,while the thickness of oxide scales increases.The order of corrosion resistance of the scales prepared at different temperatures from good to poor is as follows: 550,500,450,400,350℃.When 570℃>T> 450℃,the corrosion resistance of original scale can be improved by heat treatment.
YANG Yang, ZHAO Hong-sheng, LIU Zhong-guo, ZHANG Kai-hong, LI Zi-qiang. Effects of Molding Temperature on Properties of Porous SiC Ceramics[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 58-61.
The core-shell structure precursor powders were synthesized through coat mix process,and a small amount of Al2O3,SiO2 and Y2O3 composite additives was added.A series of porous silicon carbide ceramics were produced after molding,carbonization and sintering.The porosity,density,thermal expansion coefficient,bending strength and thermal shock resistance of porous silicon carbide ceramics were analyzed.The results show that the porous silicon carbide ceramic with molding temperature 80℃ possesses best general performance.When the molding temperature is very low,the barium phenolic resin coated over the core-shell structure precursor powders can not flow adequately,leading a loose structure and lower strength for the final porous silicon carbide ceramic.While the phenolic resin flows too much with excessive high molding temperature,some of composite additives are coated by phenolic resin and can not touch each other adequately,thereby the effect of composite additive is weaken.

The hot compressive deformation behavior of extruded γ-TiAl alloy with a reduction of the cross section of 12:1 was investigated at 900-1100℃ and at strain rate 0.01-1.0s-1 and with 70% height reduction on Gleeble-1500 hot simulator.The effects of thermomechanical parameters on flow stress and dynamic recrystallization were analyzed.A constitutive relationship based on the Zener-Hollomn parameter and Arrhenius equation was proposed for γ-TiAl alloy.The result shows that the calculation results of the proposed model agree well with the experimental data.Therefore,the proposed model can lay foundation of quality control and process design for the secondary processing of γ-TiAl alloy.
WANG Xian-fei, XIONG Shou-mei. Protection of AZ91D Melt Under Protective Atmosphere Containing SO2 in a Sealed Furnace[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 66-69,75.
The effects of the SO2 concentration,the melting temperature and the addition of CO2 on the protection of molten AZ91D alloy were investigated in a sealed furnace filled once with an atmosphere containing SO2.The morphology and composition of the surface film were also studied.Results show that cauliflower-like oxides are formed on almost all the surface of AZ91D alloy,the protective area increases with the increase of SO2 concentration.Increasing the melting temperature reduces the protective effect on AZ91D alloy,and the alloy is completely not protected when the temperature reaches 700℃.Results also indicate that the cauliflower-like oxides are only composed of MgO,and the protected surface film contains Mg,O,Al and S elements.When CO2 is added into the atmosphere,the protective effect on AZ91D alloy is improved and C element is formed in the surface film.
JIANG Bo, WANG Yao-qi, HOU Hong-liang, NIU Yong, LI Miao-quan. Effects of Hydrogen on Hot Deformation Behavior of TC21 Alloys[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 70-75.
The effects of hydrogen on the transformation temperature and hot deformation behavior of TC21 alloys were investigated through microscopic analysis and isothermal compression tests respectively.The results indicate that the transformation temperature of TC21 alloys decreases significantly after hydrogenating,so that the transformation temperature of TC21 alloys containing 0.7%(mass fraction)H is 810℃,which decreases by 145℃ compared with natural hydrogen.Meanwhile,the flow stress of TC21 alloys decreases effectively too after hydrogenating and the effects of hydrogen on flow stress become obvious with deformation temperature decreasing and strain rate increasing.The steady state stress of TC21 alloys containing 0.28%H reaches 202MPa,which decreases by 28% compared with natural hydrogen.Under the same stress level,deformation temperature decreases by 40℃ and strain rate increases one order of magnitude after hydrogenating.
LUO She-ji, ZHENG Xin-xia. Effects of Sensitizing Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 76-80.
The effect of sensitizing treatment on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of 2205 duplex stainless steel was studied by means of optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and mechanical property testing.The results show that the σ phase and the χ phase are precipitated at the boundaries ferrite/austenite and ferrite/ferrite under sensitizing treatment at 850℃,and the precipitated phase content increases with increasing of sensitizing treatment time.Sensitizing treatment leads the increase of the strength and dramatic decrease of the plasticity.The tensile fracture surfaces are characteristic of cleavage and facet,and the second cracking exists on the main fracture surface as the sensitizing treatment time increases.When sensitizing treatment time is 2h,the impact toughness of the samples at room temperature decreases from 290J to 10J.The impact fracture surfaces are changed from dimple to cleavage.The decrease of the impact toughness can be attributed to appearance of the precipitated phase.
TANG Di, DAI Hui, SUN Ji-quan. Research of Asymmetrical Cold Rolling and Recrystallization Annealing Experiment of Flange Plate Steel[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(5): 81-87,92.
Asymmetrical cold rolling technology was adopted for flange plate steel.Microstructure of rolled pieces was observed under the accumulated reduction of 78%.The results show that as the ratio of working rollers' speed is greater,the ratio of length to width of gain is higher.The idea is put forward that the ratio of length to width of gain can reflect the additional shear deformation size of rolled pieces under the condition of asymmetrical rolling.The tensile tests and annealing tests at different annealing temperatures were made for cold rolled pieces and the microstructure was observed by the transmission electron microscopy.The results show that as the ratio of working rollers' speed is greater,proof strength increases,average grain diameter decreases after cold rolled pieces annealed.With increase of the ratio of working rollers' speed,high density dislocations and the small size subgrains are observed.It indicates that asymmetrical rolling can present more additional shear strain than that of symmetrical rolling,more dislocations and subgrains can be generated in the course of asymmetrical rolling,and the strength of the flange plate steel is enhanced and the straining accumulation energy increases under the condition of asymmetrical rolling.It proves that annealing temperature of recrystallization is reduced.

The hot forming(quenching and forming at the same time) oxidizes and decarburizes the steel surface.The automotive components and parts formed in this technique show soft surface and hard inside.The material properties present gradient distributions in the thickness direction.The exterior hardness and strength are low,while the interior hardness and strength are high.Then the new type multi-layer metallic composite material is formed.To investigate the crashworthiness of the new metallic composite materials,the hot forming stamping pieces are experimentally and numerically studied.Taking the door reinforced beam for the samples,the three-point bending was carried out by experiment and finite element analysis(FEA).By comparing the crash force and energy absorption between the metallic composite materials and its every single phase material,it is found that the metallic composite materials have the comprehensive performance of every single phase material.So the new metallic composite material is a good alternative material in application of absorbing energy.
