A step deformation method for superplasticity improvement of coarse-grained Ti–15V–3Cr-3Sn-3Al

Ti–15V–3Cr–3Sn–3Al(Ti–15–3), a kind of metastable beta titanium which has high specific strength and good cold-formability, is highlighted for applications in the aerospace manufacture industry. However, the technique for improving its formability at elevated temperatures is still a challenge at present. In this work, a step deformation method is proposed for superplasticity improvement of coarse grained Ti–15–3 plates at temperatures around its beta transus. The effects of the strain rate and the strain at the first stage on the superplasticity are investigated. The results show an increase of the strain rate sensitivity and a decrease of the flow stress under the step deformation mode compared to those obtained under constant strain rates at 780℃. The maximum strain to failure obtained in the step mode is 93% higher than that deformed in the constant strain rate mode. Strain rates, strains at the first stage, and temperatures have influences on the superplasticity improvement. The deformation mechanism is concluded as subgrain formation accommodated by grain boundary sliding rate-controlled by dislocation climb. The improved m value in the step deformation is accounted to the extra dislocation density produced during the strain rate reduction.     

辅助加热温度对铝合金厚板FSW焊缝成形的影响

对铝合金厚板搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）而言,焊缝底部金属温度低、流动能力差是导致焊缝成形困难的主要原因。为此,本研究采用辅助加热的方式对待焊母材底部进行预热,分析辅助加热温度对厚板搅拌摩擦焊焊缝成形的影响。结果表明,随着辅助加热温度从20℃升高至80℃时,焊缝成形质量先变好后变差,宏观表现为焊缝内部焊核区宽度、高度及面积呈现先增大后减小的趋势,而疏松区面积呈现先减小后增大的趋势。其中,当辅助加热温度为40℃时,焊缝成形质量最好,焊核区尺寸最大,疏松区消失;而当辅助加热温度升高至80℃时,焊缝成形质量最差,疏松区面积最大。研究认为,其主要原因是添加合适的辅助加热温度可显著提高焊核区塑性金属的峰值温度及高温停留时间,塑性金属流动能力明显提高,焊缝成形质量得到极大改善。焊核区塑性金属的迁移方式由沿搅拌针表面向焊缝上部高温区迁移向挤压焊核区周边冷金属横向迁移转变。但是,当辅助加热温度太高时,焊核区塑性金属迁移方式开始转变为原始的沿搅拌针表面向焊缝上部高温区迁移,且此迁移程度有明显增大的趋势,导致焊缝内部疏松区缺陷再次出现。

Milling surface roughness for 7050 aluminum alloy cavity influenced by nozzle position of nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication

In nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) milling of aviation aluminum alloy, it is the bottleneck problem to adjust the position parameters (target distance, incidence angle, and elevation angle) of the nozzle to improve the surface roughness of milling, which has large and uncontrollable errors. In this paper, the influence law of milling cutter speed, helical angle, and cavity shape on the flow field around the milling cutter was studied, and the optimal nozzle profile parameters were obtained. Using 7050 aluminum alloy as the workpiece material, the milling experiment of the NMQL cavity was conducted by utilizing cottonseed oil-based Al₂O₃ nanofluid. Results show that the high velocity of the surrounding air flow field and the strong gas barrier could be attributed to high rotating velocities of the milling cutter. The incidence angle of the nozzle was consistent with the helical angle of the milling cutter, the target distance was appropriate at 25–30 mm, and the elevation angle was suitable at 60°–65°. The range and variance analyses of the signal-to-noise ratio of milling force and roughness were performed, and the chip morphology was observed and analyzed. The results show that the optimal combination of nozzle position parameters was the target distance of 30 mm, the incidence angle of 35°, and the elevation angle of 60°. Among these parameters, target distance had the largest impact on cutting performance with a contribution rate of more than 55%, followed by incidence angle and elevation contribution rate. Analysis by orthogonal experiment revealed that the nozzle position parameters were appropriate, and R_a (0.087 μm) was reduced by 30.4% from the maximum value (0.125 μm). Moreover, R_sm (0.05 mm) was minimum, which was 36% lower than that of the seventh group (R_sm = 0.078 mm).
