Recycling of aluminum from fibre metal laminates

Recycling of aluminum alloy scrap obtained from delaminated fibre metal laminates (FMLs) was studied through high temperature refining in the presence of a salt flux. The aluminum alloy scrap contains approximately mass fraction w(Cu) = 4.4%, w(Mg) = 1.1% and w(Mn) = 0.6% (2024 aluminum alloy). The main objective of this research is to obtain a high metal yield, while maintaining its original alloy compositions. The work focuses on the metal yield and quality of recycled Al alloy under different refining conditions. The NaCl-KCl salt system was selected as the major components of flux in the Al alloy recycling. Two different flux compositions were employed at NaCl to KCl mass ratios of 44:56 and 70:30 respectively, based on either the eutectic composition, or the European preference. Different additives were introduced into the NaCl-KCl system to study the effect of flux component on recycling result. Although burning and oxidation loss of the alloying elements during re-melting and refining take place as the drawbacks of conventional refining process, the problems can be solved to a large extent by using an appropriate salt flux. Experimental results indicate that Mg in the alloy gets lost when adding cryolite in the NaCl-KCl salt system, though the metal yield can reach as high as 98%. However, by adding w(MgF₂) = 5% into the NaCl-KCl salt system (instead of using cryolite) all alloying elements were well controlled to its original composition with a metal yield of almost 98%.     

Microstructure and property of friction stir welding joint of 7075Al and AZ31BMg

Microstructure and forming quality of friction stir welding joints of 7075Al and AZ31BMg with different welding parameters were analyzed. The results show that, good welded joint is obtained when the rotating frequency is 13 r/s and the welding speed is 30 mm/min. An irregular area is formed in the welding center. Meanwhile, the river pattern and eddy-like distribution are found in the weld nugget zone. Besides, brittle intermetallic compounds Al₁₂Mg₁₇ and Al₃Mg₂ are found in the welded joint. They cause the increase of microhardness of welded joint. The maximum tension stress of welded joint is 112MPa.

新君威2.0L车发动机前部有明显金属敲击声

<正>在爬坡路或急加速时,发动机前部有金属敲击声,异响是因何而起呢?原来是VVT执行器惹的祸!故障现象一辆搭载LTD发动机的新君威2.0 L轿车,客户反映,在车辆行驶过程中,当发动机转速在1 500 r/min~1 800 r/min时(车速为35 km/h~40 km/h),能听到发动机前部有明显的金属敲击声,在爬坡路或急加速时最明显。故障诊断根据客户描述及维修人员试车验证故障的情况,初步判断金属敲击声为发动机爆震产生的异响。为了进一步确认,使用TECH 2检查发动机动态数据流和故障代码。在出现金属敲击声时,若发动机爆震数据异常,则可确认为爆震;若爆震数据正常,则为非爆震原因产生
