Results indicate that the continuous extrusion process could change the Al4Sr particles of the alloy significantly in size and morphology. The as-cast needle-like Al4Sr particles are broken into small blocks in upsetting zone and crushed heavily in adhesion zone. Plenty of dislocations get tangled up in right-angle bending zone. Al4Sr particles grow in the extending zone. Finally, Al4Sr particles in products are approximately 28 μm in length. Al2Sr particles precipitate during the process. Compared with products by horizontal extrusion, Al4Sr particles by continuous extrusion are finer and distribute more evenly.展开更多
The electromotive force(EMF)was determined by electrochemical method at 760~950℃ for the concen- tration cell:(Mo)Sr|SrCl_2,--Sr sat.||SrCl_2,--xSr|Mo.

The dissolution behavior of Sr and alloyed strontium (i.e.Cu--Sr or Al--Sr) in molten salt containing SrCl_2 was studied. The electrolysis of SrCl_2 for production of Sr and its alloys(Al-Sr and Cu-Sr) was also conducted on the basis of electrochemical measurement. The disso- lution data so obtained well agree with the results from phase diagram.展开更多

The annealing process of the rapidly solidified Al-10Sr alloy has been carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microstructure of as-annealed Al-10Sr alloy has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The equilibrium AUSr phase is dominant in the as-annealed alloy. Besides the Al4Sr phase, an AlSr phase is also found in the alloy isothermally annealed at 873 K for 90 min. Furthermore, a modulated nanostructure was observed in the alloy isothermally annealed at 873 K for 90 min. With further prolonged annealing time, however, the AlSr phase disappears in the as-annealed alloy. The dependence of particle size and growth rate on annealing time as well as the modulated structure shows that the occurrence of the AlSr phase may be due to the spinodal decomposition.展开更多
The as-cast Mg-8Li-3Al-0.5Mn-xSr(LAM830-xSr, x=0-1.0) alloys were designed and prepared in a vacuum induction furnace under controlled argon atmosphere.

The alloys were then processed by hot extrusion, and their microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were analyzed. Results indicate that the LAM830 alloy mainly consists of α-Mg, β-Li, Al2Mn3, and LiMgAl2 phases. Sr addition results in the precipitation of Al-Sr. Moreover, Sr addition results in a fact that the secondary dendrite arm spacing(DAS) of the primary α-Mg phase is obvious refined. Microstructure of the investigated alloys is further refined as a result of the hot extrusion treatment. The content and morphology of the secondary phases have important effects on the mechanical properties of the alloys. The as-extruded LAM830-0.5Sr alloy exhibits an optimal elongation of 22.43% and as-extruded LAM830-0.75 Sr alloy shows an optimal tensile strength of 265.46 MPa.展开更多
