A study on the hot workability of a novel TNM-RE alloy (RE = Y, La, Ce)

Abstract

The hot deformation behavior of a novel TNM-RE alloy (RE=Y,La,Ce) was studied using a hot simulation machine (Gleeble-3800), and microstructural evolution was also characterized. Finally, 3D forging was carried out on isothermal forging equipment. It is shown that the as-cast lamellar colony size is about 20~30 μm, which is refined by the formation of rare earth oxides and borides at grain boundaries inhibiting grain growth. The peak stress of the TNM-RE alloy deformed at 1200 ℃/0.01s-1 is about 97 MPa, which is governed by the lamellar colony size and the B2 phase. Based on microstructure observation, it is found that the lamellar is bent and elongated to coordinate plastic deformation, where dynamic recrystallization nucleates preferentially, and full dynamic recrystallization is obtained at 1220 ℃/0.01s-1. The TNM-RE alloy was forged by 3D isothermal forging method, and fine grains with a size of 10~20 μm were obtained by controlling the process parameters. The novel TNM-RE alloy shows an excellent hot workability.

Research on the Trade Imbalance between China and the United States

“…Renminbi exchange rate problem China's economic strength and the growth of total foreign trade are born with each other. In the case of the international financial crisis continues to develop, scientific analysis of the exchange rate, import and export and economic development of the relationship between the current managed floating exchange rate policy at the same time, to improve the micro-amplitude, two-way, steady climb in the control technology, appropriate enlargement of the floating range, with other policies, through the market mechanism to achieve the level of the exchange rate level to the equilibrium level of the adjustment to resolve the financial crisis of the transmission of the economic growth smoothly [7].…”

Constitutive equation and microstructure evolution of TiAl alloy during hot deformation

“…Since the 70s of last century, researchers have regarded increasing the working temperature and reducing the weight of parts as two important goals for the new high-temperature structural materials [1][2][3][4][5]. Among the intermetallic compounds, TiAl alloys have great potential to be applied to aerospace structural parts due to their high-temperature strength and stiffness higher than that of Ni-based and Ti-based alloys [6][7][8][9][10].…”
