The microstructure characteristics of AZ91D magnesium alloy connectors were investigated in traditional die-casting and rheo-diecasting process. The formation and solidification behavior of semi-solid slurry were analyzed. The tensile properties of rheo-diecasting tensile samples were tested. The results indicate that the forced convection rheo-diecasting process is able to obtain semi-solid microstructure with fine and near spherical grain. And the process can significantly improve porosity defects existed in traditional die castings and increase density. Compared with conventional die castings,the tensile strength and elongation of rheo-diecasting tensile samples have been significantly improved. T6 heat treatment further strengthens the property of rheo-diecasting tensile samples with the tensile strength of 286 MPa and elongation of 6.1%
LIU Fan-mao, ZHANG Hui-yan, ZHANG Tao. Glass Forming Ability and Magnetic Properties of Fe-Nd-B-Zr Bulk Metallic Glasses[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 6-10.
Permanent magnets with Fe-Nd-B bulk metallic glasses as precursors was fabricated. Trace zirconium was added into Fe70Nd10B20 ternary alloy and its adjacent composition.

MA Tie-jun, WANG Wei, LI Wen-ya, ZHANG Yong. Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Linear Friction Welded P/M Superalloy FGH96[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 11-15.
Linear friction welding (LFW) of powder metallurgy superalloy FGH96 was carried out by using homemade LFW machine (XMH-160). The microstructure was analyzed and tensile property and microhardness of joints were examined.The results show that the joint could be divided into three zones: weld zone,thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and base metal. The weld zone presents typical fine grains,while the coarse and fine grains co-exist in the TMAZ. The tensile strength of joints is comparable to the base metal,but the ductility of joints is worse than that of the base metal. The microhardness presents a high-low-high tendency across the weld line with the lowest value in the middle of TMAZ. The mechanical properties of joints in different zones are associated with the content and distribution of strengthening phases and the lattice distortion in addition the grain size. Therefore,for LFW FGH96 superalloy,the optimization of process parameters and post-weld heat treatment are necessary to improve the joint properties.

SiO2f/SiO2 composite was joined to C/C composite using Ag-Cu-Ti active brazing foils at brazing temperature of 880℃ for 10min and 60min,respectively. The microstructure of joint was analyzed by electron probe micro-analyzer(EPMA),X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer(XEDS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Meanwhile,the shear strength of joints was tested at room temperature. The results show that sound joints are achieved and two thin diffusion reaction layers have been formed close to the base materials. The brazing seam matrix is composed of homogeneous eutectic alloy. The typical interface structure of joint brazed at 880℃ for 10min can be described as the following sequence: SiO2f/SiO2→Ti4O7→Ti5Si4+Cu(s,s)+Ag-Cu eutectic alloy→TiC→C/C.The microstructure of the joints brazed at 880℃ for 60min is similar to the former except the absence of Cu(s,s). Furthermore,the reaction layers of joints brazed for 60min are much thicker than those brazed for 10min. The joints brazed at 880℃ for 60min show an average shear strength of 16.6MPa.

REN Dan, LEI Yu-cheng, LIU Fa-qiang, LI Meng-gang. Effect of C on TIG In-situ Alloying Welding of MGH956 Alloy[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 40-46.
MGH956 alloy was welded by TIG in-situ alloying welding with homemade filler material. The in-situ alloying mechanism and behavior of C in the TIG welding process were mainly analyzed. The results show that the partial pressure effect of C to N can reduce the solubility of N in the welding pool. This eliminates the nitrogen porosity in welding process. TiC particles with the size of 50-100 nm form and distribute uniformly in the weld. Addition of moderate C to filler material can refine the grains size and improve the mechanical properties of weld. Thus the comprehensive properties of the weld are improved.

The effect of different cooling rates on the precipitation of (Tix,Mo1-x)C particles was investigated by SEM,TEM and SAXS.The result show that a larger number of finer and more uniform precipitates can be obtained through inter-phase precipitation under the condition of a higher cooling rate during γ→α transformation,the size of these inter-phase precipitation particles are mostly 1-10nm.A further dispersion precipitation in ferrite matrix occured under a relatively slower cooling rate after γ→α transformation,these superfine dispersion precipitation particles helps to obtain a higher proportion of single nanometer-sized particles in microalloyed steel.
KONG De-jun, FU Gui-zhong, ZHOU Chao-zheng, WANG Wen-chang. Friction and Wear Behaviors of VC Modified Layer Prepared by TD Process Under Different Loadings[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 53-58.
The VC (vanadium carbide) modified layer was prepared on the cold working die steel of Cr12MoV with TD (thermal diffusion) process,the structures,morphologies,compositions and bonding strength of VC modified layer were characterized via SEM,EDS,XRD and ST (scratch test),respectively. The dry sliding friction test of GCr15 steel column against VC modified layer was processed,the wear performance and fretting wear behavior under the different loads were investigated. The results show that the VC modified layer is composed of VC phase,and the interface combine is a metallurgical bonding,whose average bonding strength is 51.2N by ST. The friction coefficient at stationary stage is increased with the load,the reasonable load can reduce friction coefficient and wear mass,and the fretting wear mechanism is abrasion wear. VC modified layer obviously increases the surface hardness and bearing capacity of Cr12MoV steel,and significantly improves its wear resistance,and the high hardness and bonding strength is the main mechanism of increasing wear resistance.

Grain boundary segregation behavior of phosphorus and de-embrittled treatment process for 2.25Cr-1Mo steel served 12 years were investigated in terms of the grain-boundary segregation and atomic diffusion theory. The segregation degree of phosphorus was tested by virtue of Auger electron spectrum. The results show that there is a critical embrittlement temperature corresponding to 2.25Cr-1Mo steel embrittled,and the critical embrittlement temperature will decrease as the embrittlement degree increases. Furthermore,the embrittlement can restore to its original state in a few hours at the temperature higher than the critical embrittlement temperature. That is,de-embrittlement rate is much faster than embrittlement rate for 2.25Cr-1Mo steel.
ZHANG Rui-ying, CHEN Su-juan, SHI Zhi-ming, ZHANG Lian-feng. Effect of Mg on Microstructures and Abrasive Resistance of In-situ Synthesis TiC-Al2O3/Al Composites[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 65-70.
TiC and Al2O3 particles reinforced aluminum matrix composite was synthesized from TiO2,C,Al and Mg powder by the in-situ method. The effects of Mg on the microstructure and abrasive resistance of TiC-Al2O3/Al composite were investigated using XRD,SEM and wear testing. The results show that Mg influences the reaction process and the second phase distribution. The abrasive resistance of the composites increases with increasing Mg content. When Mg content in green compacts reaches 1.0% (mass fraction),the reinforcement particles are the most uniform and the smallest. The average size of reinforcement particles is about 2μm. The abrasive resistance of composites is optimal and the abrasion loss is only 1/6 of the matrix. However,with the further increase of Mg content,the abrasion resistance of composites decreases inversely due to producing coarse needle-like Al3Ti.
MA Feng, QIN Yan, LU Feng-yan, WANG Xiao-yan. Synthesis and Characterization of Palmitic Acid-hexadecanol/SiO2 Phase Change Energy Storage Materials by Solid-state Chemical Reaction at Low Temperature[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 71-74.
Palmitic acid-hexadecanol/silicon dioxide (PA-HD/SiO2) phase change energy storage materials were prepared by low-temperature solid-state reaction using the eutectic mixture of palmitic acid and hexadecanol(PA-HD) as phase change component and sodium silicate as silicon source. The structure,morphology,and thermal performance of the composite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR),environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM),differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),and the test of melting and solidification process. The results show that when the ratio of mass fraction between phase change component and sodium silicate is 2,the eutectic mixture of palmitic acid and hexadecanol are effectively imbedded into the net of silicon dioxide by low-temperature solid-state reaction. The latent heat and melting temperature of the composite are 102.35J·g-1 and 53.69℃,respectively,and the composite has good thermal conductivity. Furthermore,the phase transition temperature of the eutectic mixture is improved owing to the coating effect of silicon dioxide.
SHAO Yuan-yuan, YANG Ping, MAO Wei-min. Evolution of Orientations and Their Influence on Precipitation During Hot Compression of Columnar-grained Electrical Steel[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 75-81.
The evolution of initial orientations and their influence on precipitation of columnar-grained electrical steel after 50% hot compression deformation were investigated by electron backscatter diffraction technique and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the <100> orientated columnar grains remain still <100> after hot compression deformation,with only rotation around ND parallel to <100> direction,with heredity,and less precipitation. As the deviation angle between the long axis of columnar grain and the compression axis increases,the stability of initial grain orientation becomes poor,when the deviation angle is higher than 40°,the <111> oriented grains can be formed,during which higher defect density is formed due to the complex interaction of slip systems which facilitate the MnS precipitation. The MnS particles nucleate dominantly within hot compressed grains,particles can not be precipitated thoroughly either at high temperature or low reduction rate during hot compression,and in a subsequent recovery,the high deformation energy storage and defect density are prerequisite to promote further precipitation.
YU Chao, REN Hui-lan, NING Jian-guo. Characterizations of Tungsten Alloy Mechanical Property by Molecular Dynamic Simulations[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 82-89.
Based on the combination of experiments and numerical simulations,the plastic properties of a 91%(mass fraction,the same below) refined particle tungsten alloy were investigated. The results show that refined tungsten alloy has a strain rate effect and the yield strength increases with the increase of strain rate. The temperature effect,size effect and crystal orientation effect appear obviously in the nano-tungsten alloy materials. By comparing the numerical results and the experimental results,the conclusion obtained is two methods are in good agreement.The accurateness of this molecular dynamic simulation and the reliability of the fitted power law formula at high strain rate state are proved.
FAN Jin-juan, CHANG Zhen-dong, TAO Chun-hu, WANG Fu-chi. Oxidation Behavior of Si/Mullite/Er2SiO5 New Environmental Barrier Coating at 1350℃[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2014, 0(10): 90-95.
Si/Mullite/Er2SiO5 environment barrier coatings (EBCs) were prepared by chemical vapor deposition and plasma spraying on SiC/SiC composites. The oxidation behavior of the coatings at 1350℃ was investigated,and the structure change of the coatings was analyzed by SEM,EDS and XRD. The results show that the oxidation kinetics of the samples coated by Si/Mullite/Er2SiO5 conforms to the logarithm law. The oxidation rate of the samples is high at the early stage of the oxidation duration,and then grows steady with the increase of the oxidation time. The coatings can serve up to 400h at 1350℃. The cause for failure of coatings is that the atom O diffused into the bond coat and substrate through the coatings to cause the oxidation of bond coat and substrate,and the bond strength then decreases to cause the peeling of the coating.The cracks perpendicular to the coating surface will be the route of air diffusion from the surface into the bond coat and substrate,and accelerate the oxidation failure of the coating.
