Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 30CrMnSiA Parts Repaired by Laser Cladding by HU Shuzeng, CHENG Donghai, CHAO Bingxuan, YING Junlong, WANG De, WANG Jun, WANG Wenqin

“…30CrMnSiA steel is extensively utilized in specialized tooling components， which frequently experience fatigue fractures and other damage mechanisms under cyclic stress during service.In this work，the laser cladding technology was adopted，and the microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed based on process experiments.The optimal parameters were selected to perform laser repair on the damaged fork-shaped part of 30CrMnSiA， and its fatigue life was tested by a fatigue testing machine.Results showed that the microstructure within the repair layer was dense.The bonding interface between the repair layer and the base material was a typical metallurgical bonding，and no defects such as cracks occurred.The strength of the weld seam was higher than that of the base metal， and the tensile fracture was basically at the base metal.Besides，the specimen achieved a fatigue cycle count of 606 501，representing a 21.3%improvement in fatigue life compared to standard parts， meeting all operational requirements for specialized tooling components.…”

Effect of Zn Content on Microstructure and Corrosion Resistance of 7010 Aluminum Alloy Used for Vehicle Lightweight by LI Yan-fen, CHENG Cai-xia, YANG Tie-zao

“…In order to improve the corrosion resistance of 7010 aluminum alloy for vehicle lightweight, 7010 alloy was modified by adding Zn with different dosage.After modification, the microstructure of modified alloy was analyzed by SEM and EDS, and the corrosion resistance were evaluated by immersion test in NaCl + HNO3 +KNO3 corrosive medium.Results showed that the second phase particles in the alloy structure showed ellipsoidal shape and belonged to AlZnMgCu phase.The increase of Zn addition caused more significant alloying processes occurred, which formed more residual second phase in the matrix, and the grain boundary precipitated phase possessed more continuous distribution and smaller size.When the Zn content increased, a higher content of Zn and Mg was produced in the precipitation phase at the grain boundary of each alloy.After corrosion medium immersing test, numerous corrosion pits with small size were generated on the surface of the sample, and many exfoliating layers with large size appeared in the surface area of the alloy with 10% Zn content, performing very serious corrosion.When the Zn content increased from 6% to 10%, the corrosion resistance of the alloy decreased gradually.…”
