Pure copper and copper alloys attract more and more attention due to their outstanding properties such as excellent electrical and thermal conductivities, ductility and high corrosion resistance. In this work, the research progress on the process characteristics, mircostructure evolution and mechanical properties of 3D printing pure copper and copper alloys in recent years were mainly summarized. The results show that the major challenge of pure copper and copper alloys fabricated by laser selective melting and laser melting deposition is to reduce the high reflectivity to the laser which can improve the density of the parts, manupulate the microstructure and obtain excellent mechanical properties. Process parameter optimization of selective electron beam melting and binder jetting need to be addressed due to the lower density and greater shrinkage of parts respectively, although it can overcome the problems caused by higher laser reflectivity of pure copper and copper alloys. Besides, this work introduced the application prospects about 3D printing of pure copper and copper alloys. Finaly, the progress on 3D printing of pure copper and copper alloys were also summarized and prospected.

Based on MM-1000 friction and wear testing machine, the temperature field and heat distribution of different friction pairs were evaluated combining test and simulation. Using Workbench platform, the finite element simulations were implemented on pertaining models built in actual scale. Under various initial rotation speed, by inspecting friction temperature fields of brake rings made of carbon-ceramic, alloyed steel and cast steel, against lab-made copper-based powder metallurgy ring respectively, heat distributions in each brake process were compared and analyzed. The results show that the temperature field of carbon ceramic ring is quite different from that of cast steel ring and alloy steel ring. The temperature rise on the friction surface of the carbon ceramic ring is much higher than that of the alloy steel ring and the cast steel ring, and the axial direction also shows a large temperature rise and temperature gradient. Meanwhile, the copper-based friction ring paired with the carbon-ceramic ring receives more heat distribution and shows a greater temperature rise, which puts forward higher requirements on the high-temperature friction and wear properties of the mating materials paired with carbon-ceramic materials.

DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2021092
7075 aluminum alloy bar was prepared by powder hot extrusion method. The microstructures of the alloy bar were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, the tensile properties of the samples were also tested. The influences of the extrusion ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the bar were investigated, and the strengthening mechanism was calculated in theory. The results show that a large number of second phase MgZn
2
precipitates are desolventized and precipitated during hot extrusion at 500 ℃ with extrusion ratios of 9, 16, 25, and 36. With increasing extrusion ratio, the metallurgical bonding between the powder particles becames more sufficient, and the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy increase continuously. A high tensile strength of 492 MPa with an elongation of 27.6% is obtained at an extrusion ratio of 36. The fracture mode is a ductile-brittle-bonding fracture. The strengthening mechanism is the combined action of fine-grain strengthening, dislocation strengthening, second phase strengthening and solution strengthening.

Titanium hydride powder and 6Al-4V pre-alloyed powder were used as raw materials to prepare Ti-6Al-4V alloy by vacuum sintering. Then confined hydrogen densification treatment in a high-purity hydrogen atmosphere was carried out, and finally vacuum annealing was performed to remove the residual hydrogen in the alloy. The microstructure morphology of the alloy was observed by an optical microscope. The density and tensile properties of the alloy were determine, and the fatigue performance testing was tested using the MTS-810 hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine . The results show that the confined hydrogen densification treatment can reduce the residual porosity of the sintered Ti-6Al-4V alloy from 2.5% to 1.3%, and the relative density can reach (98.7±0.3)%. After confined hydrogen densification treatment, the tensile strength of the alloy increases from (936±18) MPa to (959±10) MPa, and the elongation increases from (6.7±1.6)% to (12±1.1)%. At the same time, the fatigue performance is improved, and the cycle times reach 4670 cycles under the condition of 0.5% cyclic strain amplitude.

ZHAO Zhenguo, ZHU Heguo
DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2021102
The CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy was prepared by vacuum hot-press sintering. The effects of hot-pressing time and pressure on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy were studied. The results show that when the pressure is 10 MPa, all high-entropy alloys contain dual FCC phases and a small amount of Cr-rich phase. With the increase of hot-pressing time, the size of the Cr-rich phase increases and the compressive strength and hardness of the high-entropy alloy first increase and then decrease. When the hot-pressing time is 1.5 h, and the pressure increases from 10 MPa to 30 MPa, the separation phenomenon of Cu-rich FCC phase and Cu-poor phase disappears in the alloy. With the increase of hot-pressing pressure, the compressive strength of the high-entropy alloy first increases and then decreases, but there is no significant change in hardness. When the hot-pressing time is 1.5 h and the pressure is 20 MPa, The alloy has the highest compressive strength of 1 229 MPa and a hardness (HV) of 3 136 MPa.

Using carbon non-woven fabric/fibre web as the reinforcements, porous C/C composites were prepared by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) deposition of pyrolytic carbon, and then SiC was deposited by CVI and Cu was infiltrated under pressure successively. Fianlly, C/C-SiC-Cu composites were obained. The effects of density of porous C/C composites and SiC contents (volume fraction
φ
, the same below) on the flexural property of C/C-SiC-Cu composites were investigated, respectively. The results show that with the increase of porous C/C composites density and SiC content, pyrolytic carbon and SiC form an interface with high binding strength around carbon fibers, and the strengthening effect of them can be fully played. So the flexural strength of C/C-SiC-Cu composites significantly increase. When the bending process is carried out, pyrolytic carbon and SiC matrix can inhibit the pullout of carbon fibers. The flexural load-displacement curve of C/C-SiC-Cu composites is ups and downs step-like, showing obvious characteristics of pseudoplastic fracture.

To improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of piston rod, Fe-based coatings with martensite and ferrite structure were prepared on 45
#
steel by laser cladding. The phase compositions, microstructure and elements distribution of the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer. The microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings were tested by Vickers hardness tester and dry sliding friction wear tester. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of laser cladding Fe-based coatings was studied by electrochemical workstation. The results show that the phase of laser cladding Fe-based alloy coating is mainly composed of α-Fe, Ni-Cr-Fe, γ-(Fe,C), Fe

. The main microstructure is martensite, ferrite and a small amount of residual austenite. The dendritic structure of coating is uniform, compact, without cracks or pores. The coating and the substrate are bonded metallurgically. The hardness and wear resistance of the coatings increase with increasing laser power. The average microhardness (HV) of the coatings at 2.4 kW is as high as 647.64 and the wear resistance is 9.37 times that of 45 steel. The wear mechanisms of the coatings are abrasive wear. The corrosion resistance of laser cladding Fe-based alloy coating firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of laser power. When the laser power is 2.0 kW, the coating has the best corrosion resistance, which is significantly higher than the commonly used carbon steel, stainless steel and electroplating hard for piston rods. It can replace electroplated chromium in related fields.

Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy were prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) technology with gas atomization powders as raw materials. The effects of processing parameters on metallurgical defects, microstructure, and tensile properties of SLM-fabricated samples were investigated through optical microscope analysis, scanning electron microscopy analysis, and unidirectional tensile test at room temperature, etc. The results show that SLM-fabricated Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy is characterized with mixed grains structure in which fine equiaxed grains and coarse columnar grains alternate. It can be obviously found that element segregation in fine equiaxed grain region and precipitated Al

(Sc,Zr) particles pin at the grain boundary. When the laser power increases from 260 W to 380 W, the porosity of the sample decreases first and then increases, while the changing trend of mechanical property is opposite. When the laser power is 300 W, the optimum parameter is obtained with the relative density reaching 99.4%. There are only a few small shrinkage pores in the sample due to the insufficient supply of liquid metal. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and fracture elongation are 429.7 MPa, 363.5 MPa and 17.7%, respectively. After aging treatment at 325 ℃ for 10 h, the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and fracture elongation are 530.1 MPa, 506.4 MPa and 9.0%, respectively.

In-situ loaded two kinds of precursors MOF(denoted as Zn-MOF-74 and ZIF-8) on the surface of carbon paper (CP) were successfully prepared by solvothermal method. After high temperature heat treatment, the precursors were derived into nitrogen-doped porous carbon, and the nitrogen-doped porous carbon @CP electrocatalyst material samples were obtained, named CP-Zn-MOF-74-900-N

The results show that the in-situ loaded ZIF-8 forms a dense layer of rectangular dodecahedral particles on the fiber surface of CP, and forms a uniform nanoscale nitrogen-doped carbon material on the fiber surface after heat treatment.
