2006, 26(2): 8-11.
Abstract:
The residual stresses of aluminum alloy thick-board in the rolling process of bitting, shoot and reversing were simulated by using highly non-liner software Msc.marc ,elas-plastic large deformation finite element method(FEM) and established three-dimensional model.In addition, the difficulties to bite during initial stage of rolling in FEM and to control the deformation due to vertical rolling were solved too.The established three-dimensional model was proved to be effective by comparing the results of FEM simulation and experimentation.The only once rolled stress could be decreased by reversible rolling and the rolled stress on thick direction was M distribution.Dog-bone section deformation due to vertical rolled could be rectified by small press horizontal rolled after vertical rolling to assure the required precision of board.

2006, 26(2): 16-19.
Abstract:
The effects of rare earth(RE) elements on the growth of the voids along the interface between Al2O3 and aluminizing layer and the oxidation resistance of aluminized steel were investigated through measuring the variations of the average diameter and depth of interfacial voids with oxidation time, and compared with those of pure aluminized steel.The results show that, the growth rate of average diameter of voids in RE-added aluminized layer is only one half of that in pure aluminized layer and the variations rate of the average depth with the average diameter of interfacial voids is only three-fifths of that in pure aluminized layer, and the number of voids in unit area is less than that of pure aluminized layer too.RE can delay the formation and aggregation of the void and improves oxidation resistance of aluminized steel.The mechanism of the RE effect on the nucleation and the growth of interfacial voids was also discussed.

2006, 26(2): 20-22.
Abstract:
The influence of thickness of micro-arc oxidation(MAO) coatings on the corrosion resistance of high strength casting aluminum alloy ZL205 was investigated by using salt spray test.It was found that MAO coatings improved the corrosion resistance of ZL205 alloy obviously.The corrosion resistance of MAO coatings increased with the increase of coating thickness.When the coating thickness was thicker than 30μm, the corrosion resistance of PEO coating increased only a little with the increase of PEO coating thickness.Results of SEM and XRD showed that surface morphologies and phase composition of MAO coatings altered with the increase of oxidation time, which resulted in different corrosion resistance of MAO coating.

2006, 26(2): 23-28.
Abstract:
The coating of SiC filament prepared by CVD process was investigated.Test indicated that dense B4C protective layer about 2~3μm thick could be coated on SiC surface at about 1350℃ by using a gas mixture of H2 + CH4 + BC13 and controlling the filament takeup speed matching the deposition process of SiC.The tensile strength of B4C-coated SiC fibres were basically unchanged in optimal parameter.Meanwhile, dense and smooth B4C-C coating with thickness of 2~3μm was also deposited on SiC surface at 1180-1250℃ by using a gas mixture of CH4 + BC13.The results showed that the binding strength between B4C-C coating and SiC filament was better than that between B4C and SiC.At the same time, the tensile strength of SiC filament with B4C-C coating was increased of about 10% .Test also indicated that B4C or B4C-C coating could prevent the deleterious fiber-Ti matrix interface reaction and the tensile strength of titanium matrix composites reinforced by SiC filaments with B4C or B4C-C coating were significantly improved.

Abstract:
A polyferrocarbosilane(PFCS) was synthesized from polydimethylsilane and ferrocene.Low specific resistance Si-Fe-C-O fiber was prepared with the following process:The PFCS was porose melt-spun, the resulted green fibers bundle were cured by heating in air, and the cured fibers were continuously sintered under an inert atmosphere.The specific resistance of the fiber could be reduced to 10-2Ω · cm, the tensile strength was about 2.0GPa,and the length was more than 500 meters.The structural material composed of the Si-Fe-C-O fibers and epoxy resin exhibited good property of radar-wave absorbing in the range of 8~18GHz.The element Fe contained in the fibers could advance growth of β-SiC crystalline grain, and reduced the specific resistance of Si-Fe-C-O fibers.

YAN Yong, ZHUANG Zhuo, ZHOU Zheng-gang, ZHANG Bao-yan, CHEN Xiang-bao, XING Li-ying
2006, 26(2): 37-40.
Abstract:
When simulating the curing process of composites, the specific heat of cured resin was often used as that of the resin during the whole process.This could cause great error in the simulation result.As the heat release of curing reaction, the specific heat of resin during curing was difficult to be measured.A hypothesis was presented that the specific heat of resin changed greatly at the gel point.Before that point the specific heat of uncured resin was linearly lessening to the value of cured resin, while after gel point the specific heat of cured resin was used.The simulation result was in good agreement with the experiment data.
