In this study, Strontium (Sr) was added as modifier during the casting of Al-11.6Si-0.5Mg alloy, and the effect of T6 heat treatment on microstructure and performance of alloy was also investigated. The results showed that the 0.3% Al-8%Sr master alloy can refine effectively the α-Al dendrite and eutectic structure; the best economic process of T6 heat treatment is solution at 535°C for 6 hrs., and water cooling at 50~60°C,aging at 160°C for 6 hrs , then air cooling. After Sr modification and T6 heat treatment, the mechanical properties of alloy are improved remarkably, i.e., the tensile strength increased to 348MPa from 183MPa before modification and the elongation raises from 3.0% to 6.5%. So this alloy is applied to the strain clamp products in electric power fitting industry.
The new process electroless Sn deposition on cast AZ61 was revealed, which employed to AZ61 magnesium alloy automobile parts and could provide high wear-resistant and high hardness. The pretreatment processes before electroless Sn deposition could ensure better adhesion between Sn coating and magnesium alloy. The speed of the Sn deposition increases quickly with increasing the content of composite catalysts in the plating bath. The technology is environment friendly and cannot cause hazard to environment because of absence of nickel and chromate in the whole process. Wastewater treatment technology of electroless Sn bath was investigated as well.
One kind of deformed magnesium alloy with high strength and high plasticity was made to be bicycle parts. Meantime, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the magnesium alloy were analyzed. In addition, the deformation and welding technology of taper pipe and shaped tube of bicycle were studied. The results showed that the bicycle parts manufactured through extruding and welding of the new type magnesium alloy have high strength, good plasticity. The tensile strength can reach 321.3 MPa and the elongation is more than 20%. By adopting the new welding process of internal mending and cuttage grafting, the after-welding-strength is 90.2%. of the base metal Meanwhile, the industrialization level can meet the requirements of European Union (EU) vehicle standards.
