3D reconstruction of microstructure in a commercial purity aluminum
نویسندگان
چکیده
The topic of reconstruction of polycrystalline microstructures is briefly reviewed. An example is given of using orientation maps to reconstruct digital microstructures with a representation of a polycrystal structure that includes crystallographic orientation information. The method uses packing of ellipsoids to approximate the grain structure, coupled with Voronoi tessellation. For the example of hot rolled commercial purity aluminum that was chosen, the highly elongated grain shapes required stretching of the tessellation in order to match the observed aspect ratios. 2006 Acta Materialia Inc.

Grain Refinement Efficiency in Commercial-Purity Aluminum Influenced by the Addition of Al-4Ti Master Alloys with Varying TiAl3 Particles
A series of Al-4Ti master alloys with various TiAl₃ particles were prepared via pouring the pure aluminum added with K₂TiF₆ or sponge titanium into three different molds made of graphite, copper, and sand. The microstructure and morphology of TiAl₃ particles were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The microstructure of TiA...
متن کاملStochastic reconstruction of carbon fiber paper gas diffusion layers of PEFCs: A comparative study
A 3D microstructure of the non-woven gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is reconstructed using a stochastic method. For a commercial GDL, due to the planar orientation of the fibers in the GDL, 2D SEM image of the GDL surface is used to estimate the orientation of the carbon fibers in the domain. Two more microstructures with different fiber orientations are g...

Al-Ti-B master alloys are widely used in the aluminum industry as grain refiners for the control of the microstructure of the aluminum alloys. The SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) is an ex situ method that uses exothermic reactions to sustain the chemical reaction in a combustion wave. The advantages of SHS are the low energy requirement, simplicity and product purity. However,...
متن کاملEffect of Mg addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum
The effect of Mg addition on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of high-purity aluminum was studied over a wide range of strain, up to ∼8. The high strains were achieved by applying the equal-channel angular pressing technique. The stress–strain relationship was related to the evolution of the microstructure investigated by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffrac...
