    Notes: Semi-solid metal forming (SSM) has been recognized as a new forming technology, whichis different from the present metal forming methods. Basic research on SSM has been put intooperation and a number of SSM techniques have been widely applied in industry. In the application ofSSM technique, at present, it is mainly used to produce the low melting point alloys such as Al-base,Zn-base and Mg-base alloys, but the high melting point alloys, for example steels as the most widelyuseful metal are not extensively studied and applied. In the present work, the electromagnetic stirringmethod was used to prepare semi-solid slurry of spring steel–60Si2Mn and stainlesssteel–1Cr18Ni9Ti. At the same time, spring steel–60Si2Mn and stainless steel–1Cr18Ni9Ti weredirectly rolled into thick strips in the semi-solid state (Rheo-rolling). It is aimed at studying themicrostructure and properties of the strips to establish the feasibility of rheo-rolling for the productionof the steel strips. According to the present research work, it has been shown that rheo-rolling processcombines the casting and hot rolling into a single step for near net-shape production, compared withthe conventional hot-rolled metallurgical process. Besides being such a cost-effective process,rheo-rolling process possesses irregular crystal grains such as rosette-type primary crystals in themicrostructures because of sufficient agitation during solidification. The overall homogenization ofthe macrostructures in the whole part of steel ingot can be achieved

    Notes: An improved and self-developed semisolid preparing and rheomoulding device —rotating barrel rheomoulding machine (RBRM) for light alloys in laboratory is introduced in thispaper. It mainly consists of a melting furnace, a shearing system with two relative-rotating conicalbarrels, a central temperature control unit, gas protection system and a die-casting system.Microstructure-processing relationship of A357 aluminum alloy obtained by the RBRM process isinvestigated by different intensity of turbulence and different shear rate. The experimental resultsshow that the improved RBRM is capable of eliminating coarse dendrites, and producing small andspherical solid particles uniformly distributed in a eutectic matrix. In addition, the process caneliminate entrapped gas and reduce fine shrinkage pores in the specimens as well. Compared withthe original self-developed device in our laboratory, the improved equipment has the followingadvantages: accurate control of stirring temperature; small volume and convenient manipulation;fine and spherical solid particles, chemical and microstructural uniformity throughout the specimensand so on

    Notes: Different cooling parameters, including the initial cooling temperature, finishing coolingtemperature and cooling rate, have a significant effect on the final microstructures and properties forpipeline steels. In present work, Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator was used to investigatethe microstructural evolution of X70 pipeline steels under different cooling conditions, and themicrostructures obtained were analyzed using optical microscope and transmission electronmicroscope. The experimental results showed that when the initial and finishing cooling temperaturesare controlled in the range of 740~760°C and 500~520°C respectively, the microstructure of X70pipeline steels reveals a proper content (about 12%) of pre-eutectoid ferrite besides acicular ferriteand M/A (Martensite/Austenite) island, which can guarantee an optimum combination of strength andductility. In contrast to the conventional way using CCT curve, this methodology shows a higheraccuracy and operability, and used in industrial production to achieve good effect

    Notes: In the H-beam rolling process, the deformations and temperature field of workpiecesignificantly influence the mechanical properties due to the change of product microstructure.Prediction of them is important for the groove design and passes sequences. To get the deformationbehavior and the temperature field of workpiece, commercial FEM program LS-DYNA has beenused to analyze the whole process of H-beam rolling. The approach is based on 3D thermalmechanical coupled finite element method. The rolling process is divided into several units forcalculation. The mesh of workpiece is rebuilt in the simulation for reducing the influence of elementdistortion. The result shows that, the temperature at the wed to flange position maintains the highestduring the whole rolling process, while area of the web the lowest. After the rolling, temperaturedifference is above 150K between the web’s surface and flange’s inside surface, approximate 130Kon the flange’s outside surface and 200K in the cross section. The simulation results show goodagreement with the measured temperature data

    Notes: Formation of austenite strongly influences the microstructures and mechanical propertiesof dual phase steels. In present work, austenization process during intercritical annealing was studiedin a Fe-C-Mn steel using Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator and quantitative microscopy. Theexperimental results show that austenite formation is separated into three different stages: (i) growthof high carbon austenite into pearlite rapidly until pearlite dissolution is completed; (ii) slowergrowth of austenite into ferrite; (iii) very slow equilibration between ferrite and austenite. Thethermodynamic and kinetic analyses show that growth of austenite into ferrite is controlled by carbondiffusion in austenite in the primary stage and manganese diffusion in ferrite in the subsequent stagebecause diffusion coefficient of Mn in ferrite is several orders of magnitude smaller than that of C inaustenite. The slow final equilibration between ferrite and austenite is obtained by manganesediffusion through the austenite. Based on the analysis, one dimensional diffusion model ofintercritical austenization was developed and solved using finite volume method on the assumptionthat solute flux was local balance at interface, and the kinetics calculated was compared withexperimental results. Simulated results indicate that growth of austenite reaches paraequilibrium inabout one second, but remains thousands of seconds to reach final equilibrium. Simulatedconcentration profiles show that manganese atoms transferred from ferrite congregate in austenitenear phase interface, which is consistent with the experimental phenomenon

    Notes: In this paper the microstructure evolution of AZ91HP magnesium alloy casts producedunder different disturbing treatment conditions such as non-disturbing, argon blowing andmechanical stirring in semi-solid state after holding a short time was studied. The results show thatthe grains of AZ91HP alloy casts refined, the secondary dendritic arms grown and the dendrites tendto rosette shape with the decrease of holding temperature. External disturbance can accelerate theevolution process, and the spherical primary α phase formed easily under mechanical stirringtreatment condition. The formation of non-dendritic structure is owing to ripening of the dendriticarms, refinement of the grains and movement of the primary formed solid phases. Disturbingtreatments in semi-solid state induce more equilibrium solidification and decrease the amount ofbrittle β-Mg17Al12 phase. Blowing argon into the refined and modified magnesium alloy in semi-solidstate can obtain homogeneous non-dendritic structure and the net shaped β phase distributed on α-Mgphase boundaries become fine and thin, this may be have a good effect on the mechanical propertiesof the magnesium alloy casts. Due to the low disturbing strength, argon blowing can maintain themetallurgy quality of the semi-solid slurry well, and also have high efficiency to make it. Thistechnology need not new complex equipments and can be practiced in conventional castingconditions, so it may be used in industrialize manufacture

    Notes: In this paper, with a newly self-developed rotating barrel rheomoulding machine(RBRM),microstructures and mechanical properties of rheo-die casting A356 alloy were studied. In order toclearly show the characteristic of rheo-die casting, liquid die casting and semi-solid casting were donetoo. The experimental results showed that microstructures of rheo-die casting were composed of solidgrains, which were finer and rounder, and had fewer pores. In the three technologies, integratedmechanical properties of semi-solid rheo-die casting were the best

    Notes: Magnesium alloys offer advantages of low density, high specific strength, machinability and availability. So it has been used more and more in many fields, such as automobile, communication etc. In this paper, grain refinement process and SiC nanoparticles reinforcement process are investigated for the purposes of increasing ultimate tensile strengthen and ductility of AM60B magnesium alloys. We find that after grain refinement process the ultimate tensile strength of AM60B alloys with permanent casting increase to 241MPa, which is about 27MPa higher than that of original alloys, and the elongation of it increases up to 20.1%, which is about 8.7% higher than that of original alloys. We added SiC nanoparticle into AM60B alloys in liquid state and found it could increase strength and ductility of alloys. By SiC nanoparticle reinforced process the ultimate tensile strength of magnesium alloys can increase up to 255MPa with the elongation of 19%
