Research on the Solid-Liquid Composite Casting Process of Incoloy825/P110 Steel Composite Pipe.

Bimetallic composites have a wide range of application prospects in various industries. Different bonding temperatures, as one of the influencing factors, directly affect the bonding effectiveness as well as the performance and application of the materials. Using metallurgical bonding techniques ensures a strong bond at the interface of bimetallic materials, resulting in high-quality composite pipe billets. This paper describes an Incoloy825/P110 steel bimetal composite material made by the solid-liquid composite method. By utilizing ProCAST 14.5 software for simulation and deriving theoretical formulas, an initial range of temperatures for bimetallic preparation has been tentatively determined. And this temperature range will be utilized for on-site experiments to prepare bimetallic samples. After the preparation process is completed, samples will be selected. The influence of the external mold temperature on the interface bonding of Incoloy825/P110 steel solid-liquid composite material is studied using an ultra-depth three-dimensional morphology microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Through research, the optimal preheating temperature range for the solid-liquid composite outer mold of Incoloy825/P110 bimetallic composite material has been determined. The casting temperature of the inner mold has a significant impact on the interface bonding of this bimetal composite material. As the casting temperature of the inner mold increases, the interface thickness gradually increases. At lower temperatures, the interface thickness is lower and the bonding is poorer. At higher temperatures, melting may occur, leading to coarse grains at the interface. When the temperatures of the inner and outer molds are within a certain range, a new phase appears at the interface. Indeed, it increases the strength of the interface bonding. Due to co-melting of the bimetal near the interface, element migration occurs, resulting in increased Ni and Cr content at the interface and enhanced corrosion resistance.

Investigation on the Interface Morphology of Mg/Al Corrugated Composite Plate in the Straightening Process.

The Mg/Al composite plate was developed in aerospace and other fields. At present, through the corrugated rolling method, the bonding strength of Mg/Al composite plate could be increased and the warpage could be reduced. However, this still requires the straightening process to reach the parameters' range. In this work, the original interface morphology of Mg/Al corrugated composite plate was obtained by experimental characterization. Based on the principle of elastoplastic mechanics, the equations of straightener parameters and straightening process parameters were obtained and the influencing factors were deduced. So, the straightening model was established in an Abaqus. The effects of straightener parameters and straightening process parameters on the interface morphology were analyzed and the interface morphology was expressed by amplitude and period length of the equation. The results showed that bending moment, shear strength and the reduction of second roll played roles on the interface morphology. After the first straightening unit, the amplitude increased by 1.1% and the period length increased by 3%. Finally, a complete straightening parameter was designed, which included straightener parameters, straightening process parameters and straightening temperature. The aim of this work was to provide a theoretical basis for establishing a high precision Mg/Al corrugated composite plate straightening model, which could improve the bonding strength while ensuring the straightening effect.
