Description

A kind of device of driving solidification and crystallization process by using electrical effect
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device of solidification and crystallization.
Background technology
Entered since 21 century, high-tech industry especially Aeronautics and Astronautics and auto industry is more and more harsher to the instructions for use of material, and the urgent expectation of scientific and technical personnel is started with from the solidification process of control material and sought to obtain to have the new material of excellent properties.Control has launched further investigation to the material solidification process under the outer field actions such as microgravity field, electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field and ultrasonic wave, and acquires a great achievement.Wherein under the electric field action solidification technology to have equipment simple, easy to operate, change advantages such as solidified structure is obvious and received great concern.
Material solidification process research under the electric field action starts from the sixties in last century, so far have nearly half a century, a large amount of experimental datas confirm that electric field can improve the thermograde at metal and alloy place, solid-liquid (S/L) forward position, interface when solidifying thereof, and influences its crystal growth, thinning solidification structure.Electric field can be from following some consideration to the mechanism that influences of metal and alloy graining thereof: (1) electric field fuel factor or pyroelectric effect (comprising the Joule fuel factor, Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, Thomson effect); (2) electromigration; (3) electric field generates Lorentz power and drives melt flows.Fuel factor directly influences S/L temperature field at the interface, causes S/L to solidify the variation of thermograde on the direction at the interface.Solute distribution coefficient is solidified in the electromigration influence.Mobile heat transfer, mass transfer and the MOMENTUM TRANSMISSION process to solidification process of liquid phase exerts an influence before the metal freezing.This three conditions each other, and coupled relation as shown in Figure 1.
For the behavioural characteristic of solidifying of characterizing metal and alloy thereof intuitively comprises solute reallocation, dendrite tip-growth, deeply disclose the material solidification substantive characteristics, researcher is brought in constant renewal in observation and analysis means.
Researchers are applied to various forms of electric fields alloy melt stage, common curing condition, directional solidification condition and solidify after-baking, the material of choosing comprises Pb-Sn, Zn alloy, Al alloy, cast iron, stainless steel, potassium steel, magnesium alloy, obtains the experimental result of electric field influence metal freezing process and change solidified structure respectively.Aspect the coagulation mechanism of inquiring into metal under the electric field action, scholars have also carried out comparatively deep research.
When Gu Genda applies the steady weighing apparatus electric field that is parallel to the direction of growth to Al – 4.5wt.%Cu and Sn-5wt.%Bi alloy under the directional solidification condition, consider interface electrostatic potential, phase boundary potential and electric-field intensity, at the interface behind the energy state of the electric field energy of relation, the solute of jump probability and the interface electric field of atom and interface energy and solid-liquid both sides atom, the final quantitative relation formula of interface distribution coefficient under the electric field when to be given in the speed of growth be zero.Analysis draws: reduce along with current density increases the alloy interface distribution coefficient; DC electric field has significantly improved Sn-5%wt.Bi alloy interface stability, and its effect shows that the critical speed of growth that planar interface → unstability interface → born of the same parents' crystal boundary face → dendrite interface changes all increases and increases rapidly with current density.Think that the main cause that electric field causes interface stability to increase sharply is that electric field makes on interface energy and the interface the most dangerous interference wave frequency increase and electric field causes that convection current increases in the liquid phase.The influence of impulse electric field to pure Al, Al alloy solid-liquid interface topography studied by Shanghai University under the directional solidification condition, by passing to pulse current in two ends up and down at the Al-4.5wt.%Cu alloy, find: along with the increase of pulse current density, the alloy born of the same parents shape intergranular distance and the mushy zone degree of depth reduce, and its solid liquid interface pattern turns to born of the same parents' crystalline substance even planar interface from dendrite, pulse current makes the solid liquid interface temp gradient at front edge increase, and has promoted solute Distribution more even, and the secondary dendrite growth is suppressed.Well-known in the directional solidification process of metal, solid liquid interface is the key factor of decision material solidification, solute Distribution, crystal morphology, institutional framework to material have material impact, and then the performance of decision institute solidification material, this explanation impulse electric field is to the behavior of solidifying in control forward position, freezing interface, change solute and distribute, the aspects such as thermograde that influence the solid liquid interface forward position will play a significant role.
The research that DC current and alternating current is acted on the casting solidification process starts from the sixties in 20th century, the final solidified structure of finding the Al-Ni alloy melt of feeding electric current at that time changes, particularly effectively solute distribution coefficient changes, and promotes two to form the separation of phase or poly-partially at eutectic alloy.And then the former Soviet Union applies electric current in the seventies in cast iron solidified, shows that the average-size of graphite phase has reduced 20%-40%, and graphite becomes curling by sheet, and hot strength has improved 30%.Enter after the eighties, American scholar A.K.Misra feeds DC current in the Pb-Sb-Sn ternary alloy three-partalloy solidifies, obtained tiny and uniform solidified structure, the eutectic sheet interlayer spacing also is reduced to original 1/4, and eutectic cell quantity increases, and this has verified that fully electric current has the hypothesis that promotes living nuclear and suppress to grow up.After the nineties Chinese scholars tentative confirmation current density and primary dendritic spacing present linear inverse relation, and high current density helps increasing the Joule heat difference of solidification front solid-liquid two-phase, improve interface energy, improve thermograde, make freezing interface stability increase.
Need high power electric power facility guarantee quite reliably yet common current technique will seek out high current density, the cost costliness is unfavorable for practical application.It is found that pulse current (electric pulse) is can be by power lower and invest less power-supply device and implement the output of batch (-type) macro-energy, electric pulse becomes emerging research direction to the influence of metal solidification texture since then.People such as professor M.C.Flemings of Massachusetts Institute Technology take the lead in studying applying pulse current in the alloy casting process, what they adopted is low melting point Sn-15%Pb alloy melt, discovery applies pulse current at the initial period that solidifies can make the dendrite in the tissue change globular crystal into, and pattern depends on discharge peak threshold voltage, solid volume fraction and solidifies cooldown rate; They also observe the wave phenomenon of metal bath surface, have confirmed that pulse current charges and discharge the existence of contractility that process causes.
Be which kind of mechanism plays a leading role in control is solidified actually, also will be according to the rerum natura of different materials, the factor decision becomes to grade, cannot treat different things as the same, and to solidify be the transition process of a complicated energy system, be accompanied by heat transfer, mass transfer, MOMENTUM TRANSMISSION, the disturbance of an extraneous factor is difficult to be shown blown up on the final structure property, therefore process of setting is simplified in urgent expectation, filters irrelevant influence factor, and a certain effect of primary study electric field is to the mechanism that influences of metal solidification process.
Aspect crystal growth observation, can find out from existing documents and materials, mostly be the solidification and crystallization behavioral study of some model allos under no electric field, as Northwestern Polytechnical University's homemade apparatus: a bar shaped space of forming by 4 slides, the copper sheet of same thickness is inserted on both sides, form through transparent organic gel seamless adhesion, wherein dash area is a model allo again.Temperature control system is accurately regulated thermograde in the growth room by copper sheet, obtains different crystal growth patterns.
But directly observe the device of crystal growth under the electric field yet there are no report at microscopically.

Step 1, in the melting zone 30 formation temperature gradients, detailed process is as follows:

At first observe the direction of an electric field situation vertical with the thermograde direction:
As shown in Figure 4, this photo is at the speed of growth r=12.5 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G TTake under the situation of=3.82k/mm, find out easily, this crystal is under the electric field action on vertical its direction of growth, and the columnar dendrite growth shows as meets the stream growth of tilting, and illustrates that this direction electric field that surely weighs has the flow effect of strengthening forward position, freezing interface liquid phase region.
As shown in Figure 5, this photo is at the speed of growth r=13.4 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G T=3.56k/mm takes under the situation of I=0.5mA, is observing NH under the steady electric field effect 4Find during the growth morphology of Cl columnar dendrite: direction of an electric field is approximately perpendicular to an arm direction of growth.White scale has been demarcated secondary arm size among the figure, and behind electric field action 22s, an arm growth of column crystal is rapid, and secondary arm change in size is little, illustrates that its growth is suppressed.Think, can improve the thermograde of this direction, promote hot-fluid, thereby suppress the dendrite collateral generation along a unidirectional heat radiation of arm perpendicular to the electric field that solidifies direction.The fuel factor of electric field is in that to influence aspect the dendritic growth effect quite obvious.
Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 is NH 4The crystallization process of Cl crystal under steady weighing apparatus electric field, the current density of loading is 22mA/mm 2, wherein the direction of arrow is the direction of electric field strength E, as shown in Figure 6, and to NH 4The Cl melt powers up outage 2 times successively, investigates steady weighing apparatus electric field NH 4Cl columnar dendrite growth influence rule.Can find out that from Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 in Fig. 7, Fig. 8, the right side is the end near the melt center, near solution boundary NH 4The Cl crystal is that crystalline substrate has been carried out approximate directional solidification with the sheet glass under electric field action, and its direction of growth is that its arm dendrite is done with direction of an electric field perpendicular approximately perpendicular to direction of an electric field.Crystal among Fig. 8 find that its arm growth is normal, but the secondary arm does not have much variations dimensionally, sees the white scale among the figure behind experience 22s.Think, promptly solidifying the bigger thermograde of existence on the direction perpendicular to direction of an electric field, cause arm of dendrite along the direction of heat flow normal growth; And in that to be parallel to the direction of an electric field thermograde less, the more weak growth that restricts the secondary arm of hot-fluid.
Observe the direction of an electric field situation parallel then with the thermograde direction:
Fig. 9 is at the speed of growth r=35.5 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G TTake under the situation of=3.96k/mm, Figure 10 is at the speed of growth r=25.0 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G TTake under the situation of=3.96k/mm, as Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, when direction of an electric field was parallel with crystal growth direction, the growth of succinonitrile columnar dendrite showed as indivedual columnar dendrite bendings equally and meets stream inclination growth.Compare with Fig. 8 with Fig. 7, when direction of an electric field is parallel, out-of-flatness on the macroscopic view of freezing interface, not as electric field uniform when vertical.Dendrite secondary arm is than prosperity when electric field is vertical.
Figure 11 and Figure 12 are the crystalline growth process of succinonitrile alloy born of the same parents shape dendrite under steady weighing apparatus electric field, and Figure 11 is at the speed of growth r=25.0 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G TTake under the situation of=3.73k/mm, Figure 12 is at the speed of growth r=14.6 of directional solidification μ m/s, thermograde G TTake under the situation of=3.73k/mm, as shown in Figure 11, the easy bifurcated of born of the same parents' crystals growth during no electric field, and born of the same parents' intergranular is apart from bigger; Born of the same parents' crystals growth does not have bifurcated after applying electric field, and born of the same parents' intergranular is apart from obviously reducing.
