Abstract
The paper presents data on the influence of additives of the pre-treated aluminium oxide powder on the structure of cast lead-tin-based bronzes. Different quantities of the modifier, based on the superdispersed aluminum oxide powder, were added to the bronze melt. The studies have shown that addition of a small amount of aluminum oxide powder (0.07... 0.25 %) allows modifying the micro structure of the obtained castings. This modification includes grain refinement, reduction of the matrix dendrites size of tin solid solution in copper, as well as formation of spherical inclusions of the low-melting phase - lead. In this case, the addition of such modifier influences weakly the morphology and the quantity of solid eutectoid inclusions based on electron compound Cu31 Sn8.
Highlights
In the modern mechanical engineering a significant number of parts are fabricated from lead-tin-base bronzes
At present one of the promising trends of enhancing a set of service properties of such bronzes is alloying them with superdispersed powders (SDP)
The nanopowder particles introduced into into the melt will serve as centres of crystallization
Summary
In the modern mechanical engineering a significant number of parts are fabricated from lead-tin-base bronzes They include a series of parts which should possess sufficiently advanced strength characteristics (sealings and piston rings, oil-seal and expander rings). At present one of the promising trends of enhancing a set of service properties of such bronzes is alloying them with superdispersed powders (SDP). Introduction of their small amount into the melt before a crystallization process allows increasing strength propeties of castings [1, 2]. A mechanism of interaction with lead-tin-based bronzes, as well as the process regularities of such modification, is not studied profoundly Such modification of copper alloys is promising from several points of view. This paper presents an investigation of the influence of different content of additives of the pretreated aluminium oxide powder on the structure of lead-tin-base bronze under formation
