Accelerated crucible rotation technique(ACRT) has been used for the directional solidification of Al-4.5wt% Cu binary alloy.By rotating the crucible at varying rate and direction,forced liquid flows are aroused These flows include Ekman flow,Couette flow and Spiral Shear flow.Especially,Ekman flow acts directly at the L/S interface,changes diffusion and heat exchange conditions and has strong influences on the morphology of L/S interface.Experimental results show that,compared with normal Bridgman specimens,the solidification region is much narrower and the cell spacing is much smaller in ACRT specimens.These influences become much stronger when the accelerating rate is increased.

The microstructural evolution during solidification and subsequent solid-state transformation of AISI 304 stainless steel is studied by directional solidification and quenching methods in this paper. The phase transformation sequence in the steel directionally solidified is that the precipitation of primary ferritic dendrites, ferrite-austenite eutectic reaction, and the direct formation of austenite occur in sequence during the directional solidification of the austenitic stainless steel. At the eutectic reaction stage, plenty of columnar and cellular eutectic colonies composed of the coupled growth of lamellar ferrite and austenite take place. During the course of subsequent solid-state transformation, austenite grows into ferrite gradually, resulting in the disappearing of eutectic colonies and thinning of primary ferritic dendrites, and dendrite cores of primary ferrite are retained as the final skeletal ferrite in the final microstructure.

The liquid-solid transitions of (Co2Si+CoSi) and (CoSi+CoSi2) eutectic alloys were realized in drop tube and the rapid eutectic growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds was examined. The experimental and calculated results indicate that with increasing Co content, the intermetallic compound prefers nucleating primarily. The eutectic microstructures experience the transitions of `lamellar-anomalous-divorced' eutectic with undercooling. In undercooled state, the growth of CoSi intermetallic compound always lags behind others, and no matter how large the undercooling is, this intermetallic compound grows under the solutal diffusion control. The calculated coupled zone demonstrates that (Co2Si+CoSi) eutectic can form within certain undercooling regime, when the composition is in the range from 23.6% to 25.4% Si. And the calculated coupled zone of (CoSi+CoSi2) covers a composition range from 40.8% to 43.8% Si.

The Pd77.5Au6Si16.5 alloy was studied by drop-tube processing. Palladium solid-solution phase was found in smaller droplets (diameter D < 400 m), while in larger droplets, the intermetallic compound Pd3Si was observed. The difference in free energy between the undercooled liquid and the solid state, the activation energy for the formation of post-critical nuclei, the nucleation frequency and the crystal growth velocity, were calculated as functions of temperature for palladium solid solution and Pd3Si phases. These calculations led to time-temperature-transformation curves which were capable of describing the experimental findings on the kinetics of solidification of this alloy.

From the viewpoint of production engineering, microforming is considered as an effective process to fabricate various microparts. Several key problems in microforming processes were investigated. A new microforming apparatus with a high stiffness piezoelectric actuator as the punch driver was developed to produce microparts. To improve the forming abilities and locate the billets, a floating microdie was designed. The size effects of the billets and die cavities on the microforming abilities were studied with upsetting and coining tests, respectively. And the isothermal microforming process of microgears was performed with the developed microforming apparatus. Several analysis methods were used to evaluate the forming quality of the microparts.

Contacting state between molten metal and a mold and initial solidification process of continuously cast metals can be controlled by imposing an intermittent magnetic field.In this study, effect of the intermittent magnetic field on the initial solidification ofcontinuoasly cast metals was investigated by measuring the temperature distribution in the melt pool and the initial solidification starting position of shells. It was found that under the condition with intermittent magnetic field, the melt near meniscns is in slow cooling state, the initial solidification starting position descends, initial solidification shell thickens and the liquid-solid interface becomes smooth.

The state-of-art and key problems of carbon nanotube (CNT) based polymer composites (CNT/polymer composites) including CNT/polymer structural composites and CNT/polymer functional composites are reviewed. Based on the results reported up to now, CNTs can be an effective reinforcement for polymer matrices, and the tensile strength and elastic modulus of CNT/polymer composites can reach as high as 3600 MPa and 80 GPa, respectively. CNT/polymer composites are also promising functional composite materials with improved electrical and thermal conductivity, etc. Due to their multi-functional properties, CNT/polymer composites are expected to be used as low weight structural materials, optical devices, thermal interface materials, electric components, electromagnetic absorption materials, etc. However, the full potential of CNT/polymer composites still remains to be realized. A few key problems, such as how to prepare structure-controllable CNTs with high purity and consistently dependable high performance, how to break up entangled or bundled CNTs and then uniformly disperse and align them within a polymer matrix, how to improve the load transfer from matrix to CNT reinforcement, etc, still exist and need to be solved in order to realize the wide applications of these advanced composites.
