摘    要:通过数值模拟及反挤压成形对半固态A357铝合金的密度及力学性能的不均匀性进行研究。结果表明:反挤压制件直壁部的相对密度最小,底部的最大。随着坯料高度的增加,转角处的相对密度需要更长的时间才能达到最高值;随着压力的增加,制件各部的相对密度均增加。模拟结果表明,制件的转角处的拉应力最大,该处产生热裂纹的可能性也最大。通过采用合适的坯料高度及压力,半固态挤压件能够获得细小、均匀的微观组织,且能达到优良的力学性能及硬度。

Abstract:

The inhomogeneity of density and mechanical properties of A357 aluminum alloy in the semi-solid state were investigated. Numerical simulation and backward extrusion were adopted to study the preparation of cup shells. The results show that the relative density of the wall is the lowest in samples, and that of the base is the highest. With increasing the billet height, more time is needed for relative density of the corner to reach the maximum value, and the relative densities in every region improve evidently with increasing the pressure. The tensile stress was simulated to be the largest at the corner, and the hot tearings were forecasted to mainly appear at the corner too. By employing proper billet height and pressure, the extruded samples consisted of fine and uniform microstructures, and can obtain excellent mechanical properties and Brinell hardness.
