Abstract
工作业绩范文The paper reports the influence of process variables on a zirconium-free(RZ5DF)magnesium alloy metal matrix composite(MMC) containing14vol.%Saffilfibres.The squeeze casting process was ud to produce the composites and the process variables evaluated were applied pressure,from0.1MPa to120MPa,and preform temperature from250◦C to750◦C.The principalfindings from this rearch were that a minimum applied pressure of60MPa is necessary to eliminate porosity and that applied pressures greater than100MPa caufibre clustering and breakage.The optimum applied pressure was established to be80MPa.It was also established that to ensure successful preform infiltration a p
reform temperature of600◦C or above was necessary.For the optimum combination of a preform preheat temperature of600◦C and an applied pressure of80MPa,an UTS of259MPa was obtained for the composite.This reprented an increa of30%compared to the UTS for the squeeze cast ba alloy.

1.Introduction
Metal matrix composite(MMC)components can be man-ufactured by veral methods.The metal casting route is espe-cially attractive in terms of its ability to produce complex near net shapes.However,castings produced by conventional cast-ing process may contain gas and/or shrinkage porosity.The tendency for porosity formation will be exacerbated whenfi-bres are introduced becau they tend to restrict theflow of molten metal and cau even greater gas entrapment within the casting.It is pointless to ufibres to reinforce a casting if defects are prent,since the addition offibres will not com-pensate for poor metallurgical integrity.In order to fulfil the potential offibre reinforcement and produce pore free cast-ings the squeeze casting process

can be lected.The unique feature of this process is that metal is pressurid throughout solidification.This prevents the formation of gas and shrink-age porosity and produces a metallurgically sound casting.∗Corresponding author.

With the development of MMCs,magnesium alloys can better meet the various demands of diver applications.The addition of reinforcement to magnesium alloy produces su-perior mechanical properties[1–3]and good thermal stability [4,5].Of the various composite types,the discontinuous and randomly orientedfibre-reinforced composites provide the best“value to strength ratio”.
Despite the potential advantage of using magnesium MMC for lightweight and high strength applications,little is known about the influence of squeeze infiltration parame-ters.Key parameters,such as applied pressure and preform temperature must be optimid,especially for the squeeze infiltration of a magnesium–zinc MMC.The process pa-rameters were rearched and the results are prented in this paper.However,it wasfirst necessary to lect appropriate fibres and
binders since their lection is fundamental to the success of the MMC.The main criterion determining the -lection offibre type is compatibility with the matrix.Two读小英雄雨来有感

fibre types that are known to be compatible with magnesium are Saffil and carbon[6].Silica and alumina-bad binders are widely ud in preform production,mainly due to their high temperature properties[7].However,there are concerns about chemical reactions between magnesium alloys and sil-ica[8].
To ensure full infiltration of liquid metal into thefibre pre-form,rearchers[9–11]have emphasid the importance of preheating the preforms.However,there has been lit-tle rearch to determine optimum preform temperature for magnesium alloys and that reported has focud on AZ91 (magnesium–aluminium)alloy.The wetting capability of the alloys is different,for instance the wetting and the in-terfacial reaction between Al2O3reinforcement and cerium, lanthanum(both rare earth elements)or magnesium is far better in comparison to aluminium.
Most work on applied pressure has focud on aluminium alloys and their composites.However,Ha[12]and Chadwick [13]investigated the influence of applied pressure on the short freezing range Mg–Al family of alloys.The effect on solid-ification will inevitably be different for long freezing range alloys,such as the Mg–Zn family alloys that are the focus of this rearch.The difference in solidification morphology will be significant when infiltrating the melt into a porousfi-bre preform.Long freezing range alloys retain a liquid pha over a longer period during infiltration and this may promote better infiltration,reduce voids and conquently improve the soundness of the composite.
2.Experimental methodology
A zirconium-free magnesium–4.2%zinc–1%-rare earths alloy,designated RZ5DF,was ud for this rearch.Several fibre preform materials,proportions and binder systems,were evaluated to determine their compatibility with the magne-sium alloys and the mechanical properties that they delivered to the composite[14].This preliminary rearch established that a compopsite bad on a silica-bonded,14vol.%Saffil fibre preform delivered the best characteristics in terms of ea of production and maximum‘value to strength ratio’.
The effect of applied pressure,between0.1MPa and 120MPa,on the RZ5DF-14vol.%Saffilfibre composite was first evaluated.The maximum permissible applied pressure was limited by both the capability of the squeeze casting press and die design.The metal pouring temperature was main-tained at750◦C,the die temperature at250◦C,the duration of applied pressure at25s,and delay before application of pressure at4s.The conditions replicated tho employed for the ba alloy that was reported previously[15].
Following this,the influence of preform temperature was evaluated for a restricted range of applied pressures.Four preform temperatures were lected:250◦C(similar to the die temperature),400◦C(intermediate temperature),600◦C (at which temperature the RZ5DF alloy is a mixture of liquid and solid),and750◦C(at which temperature the RZ5DF alloy is in the fully molten state).The experiments were conducted at three applied pressures:60MPa,80MPa and 100MPa.
The mechanical properties were evaluated using tensile and hardness tests.The tests were complemented by optical microscopy and,for the tensile fracture surfaces,SEM.
2.1.Test casting
The test casting was a rectangular plate of126mm in length,75mm in width and16mm in depth.
2.2.Melt processing
The alloy was melted in an electric resistance furnace us-ing a steel crucible,thefluxless method and an argon gas cover.The die was coated with boron nitride suspended in water to protect it from excessive wear.

Tensile tests were conducted on a50kN Mayes testing ma-chine using position control.Modified test specimens were machined according to BS18(1987)and magnesium Elek-tron Ltd RB4specifications[16].
2.4.Hardness testing
Hardness was measured to determine and study the influ-ence of reinforcement on the magnesium and the isotropy of fibre distribution.The locations of hardness measurements are shown in Fig.1.Hardness measurements were conducted using the Rockwell B scale for both the alloys and com-posites.The preference for the Rockwell rather than Vick-ers hardness measurement was due to the larger indentation needed to ensure a more consistent measurement on the com-posite.The ar
ea of the Vickers hardness indentation is so small that,in some cas,the measurement could be taken from the hardfibre causing large variations in hardness val-
ues.

2.5.Metallography
An optical microscope and stereoscan 360electrom mi-croscope (SEM)were ud to examine the microstructure of the MMC specimens.Metallographic samples were prepared using standard techniques and were etched using an acetic pi-cral solution.The electron microscope was equipped with a back-scatter detector and was ud to characteri fracture surfaces from the tensile test specimens.2.6.Cell size
The cell size was established using the interction method.Five areas were lected at random and 21mea-surements of cell size were taken for each area.The average value for the 105readings was determined.
3.Results and obrvations
The results are reported in the quence in which the ex-periments were conducted.In the first ries of experiments,the effect of applied pressure was evaluated.In the cond -ries,the combined influences of applied pressure and preform preheat temperature were evaluated.
3.1.Series 1experiments:the influence of applied pressure
3.1.1.Tensile properties
The effect of applied pressure on UTS and ductility of squeeze cast,RZ5DF-14vol.%,Saffil fibre composites is shown in Fig.2.It can be en that the highest UTS value was obtained with an applied pressure of 80MPa.It would appear from the figure that a pressure in excess of 40MPa is esntial to develop a significant improvement in UTS but that levels above 80MPa have a detrimental effect.3.1.2.Hardness

applied pressures are shown graphically in Fig.3.Whilst the dominating influence on hardness is provided by the prence of the Saffil fibres,the results show that the hardness at the two lowest levels of applied pressure (0.1MPa and 20MPa)is distinctly lower than that associated with applied pressure levels of 40MPa and above.
3.1.3.Metallography
Metallography was conducted to examine the influence of applied pressure on the cast structure.Selected opti-cal microstructures are prented in Fig.4.The metal-lographic examination identified the prence of microp-orosity in tho samples produced with applied pressures below 60
MPa.The microporosity,as expected,occurred mainly at cell boundaries and was most easily confirmed by adjusting the depth of field.It also identified the ten-dency for fibre clustering and fracture at applied pressures greater than 80MPa.The prence of fractured fibres is demonstrated more clearly in the SEM micrographs shown in Fig.5.The micrographs show fractured fibres in the plane transver to that of load application during the tensile test.
3.2.Series 2experiments:the influence of preform temperature
The preliminary experiments showed that the optimum applied pressure was 80MPa.However,to ensure robustness in the experimentation,the effects of preform preheat temper-ature were evaluated for the optimum applied pressure and pressures of 60MPa and 100MPa.

Metallographic examination of the composite structures showed that more denly packedfibres occurred at the pre-form surface at the lowest preform temperature.This effect is illustrated in Fig.8.The quence of microstructures show that preform deformation andfibre clustering were less evi-dent at higher preform temperatures.The SEM micrographs of tensile fracture surfaces,Fig.9,confirm the clustering of fibres and provide evidence offibre tofibre contact,for the preheat temperature of400◦C.This effect was not evident for the preheat temperature of600◦C.
4.Discussion
To achieve the successful infiltration of afibre preform the liquid metal must penetrate the preform completely.Potential barriers to this are prented by:the density of the preform, which can be reprented by the preform permeability[14]
