复合矿物材料对碱-硅酸反应的抑制效果

通过研究含有粉煤灰、沸石和矿渣的水泥胶砂试样因碱-硅酸反应所引起的膨胀和微观开裂特征表明：复合矿物材料（粉煤灰、沸石和矿渣）在低碱水泥和高活性集料中并不能完全消除水泥胶砂试样中的碱-硅酸反应，但减少了胶砂试样的膨胀率和膨胀破坏；且随着复合材料的增加，胶砂试样的膨胀率和膨胀破坏下降，微观结构得到改善。此外还研究了复合矿物材料对水泥胶砂流动性和强度的影响。     

Hot Tearing Behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-X Alloys

Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy castings are widely used in the aerospace field owing to their high strength and excellent creep resistance. The castability of these alloys is also an important consideration for engineering application. Thus， the hot tearing susceptibilities (HTSs) of Mg-10Gd-1Y-1Zn-0.5Zr (VW91) alloy and Mg-10Gd-2Y-1Zn-0.5Zr (VW92) alloy are investigated with a constrained rod casting (CRC) mold. The microstructures and fracture surface are characterized by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results unveil that the HTS of VW92 alloy is lower than that of VW91 alloy. The microstructures indicate that obvious tears can be observed in VW91 alloy， while the tears in VW92 alloy are tiny. The tear feeding and healing by eutectic are also observed in VW91 and VW92 alloys. Therefore， the lower hot tearing susceptibility of VW92 alloy is mainly attributed to the high amount of eutectic which feeds and heals tears. Besides， the effects of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the fluidity of VW91 and VW92 alloys on their HTSs are discussed.
