Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of numerical simulation technology of composite material microstructure, specifically relating to a numerical simulation method for particle dispersion in the molten pool of laser-remelted particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composite material. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium alloys possess advantages such as low density, high specific strength and stiffness, good electromagnetic shielding, and machinability, making them the lightest engineering materials currently available. However, their relatively low strength and hardness, as well as poor wear resistance and corrosion resistance, limit their development to some extent. Introducing ceramic particles into magnesium alloys can achieve exceptional physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites not only inherit the advantages of magnesium alloys but also significantly enhance absolute strength, high-temperature mechanical properties, and frictional properties, making them one of the most advantageous approaches to improving the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys and enabling industrial applications. However, a significant factor limiting the rapid development of as-cast particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites is the relatively large grain size resulting from the low cooling rate during casting. These large grains form triangular grain boundaries, reducing the continuity of the eutectic phase distribution at the grain boundaries. When exposed to corrosive media, if the eutectic phase is continuously distributed at the grain boundaries, it can act as a passivating phase to protect the magnesium matrix and slow down the corrosion rate; however, if the eutectic phase is discontinuously distributed at the grain boundaries, it cannot act as a passivating phase to protect the magnesium matrix. Since corrosion begins on the surface of components, research on surface modification of particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites is particularly important.
[0003] Laser surface remelting (LSR) utilizes a high-energy-density laser beam to irradiate a metal surface, instantly melting a surface layer of a certain thickness. The molten pool then rapidly solidifies through heat transfer and cooling within the substrate, thereby improving the material's surface microstructure, strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. However, different LSR processes have varying effects on the surface microstructure, consequently affecting mechanical properties and ultimately the product's usability. Experimentally exploring the quantitative relationship between LSR processes and microstructure is inherently risky; extensive experimentation involves significant trial and error, consuming substantial human, material, and financial resources.
[0004] With the development of computer technology, numerical simulation has become an important and effective tool for studying metal solidification processes. Numerical simulation allows for quantitative or qualitative analysis of a series of physical phenomena during nonlinear, unsteady solidification processes, such as heat / mass / momentum transport, particle transport, and grain nucleation and growth. The simulation results provide crucial guidance for process development and optimization. Numerical simulation can establish quantitative relationships between process parameters and microstructure in a short time, thus shortening the R&D cycle. However, current numerical simulation research focuses primarily on the molten pool evolution during LSR (Laminated Solidification), with less emphasis on the microstructure evolution during solidification. There are two main reasons for this: First, LSR involves melting, and the melted material is not homogeneous, meaning the assumption of "uniform composition in the initial state" no longer applies. Second, the system contains two substances: magnesium dendrites and ceramic particles. During LSR solidification, magnesium dendrites grow while ceramic particles move. Collisions between dendrites and particles can trigger particle movement, and particles also undergo Brownian motion under high temperatures. However, the interaction between dendrite growth and particle movement has not yet been fully considered. Therefore, the numerical simulation method for the microstructure of laser surface remelting particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites developed needs to be based on real component test results to establish a remelting model, map the real physical process to the numerical simulation process, so as to better reflect the real physical process and provide necessary theoretical guidance and technical support for the research and development and production of high-performance magnesium matrix composites. Summary of the Invention

[0038] If not all grids satisfy f s-r,k If (i,j) = 0, then return to step nine four;

[0048] Where, n z =0 represents a two-dimensional tissue simulation, and ε1, ε2, and ε3 are coefficients;
[0049]

[0053] Step 97: Let k = k + 1, and determine whether all grids within the computational domain satisfy f. s-s,k (i,j)=1;
[0054] If all grids satisfy f s-s,k If (i,j) = 1, it indicates complete solidification, C l,k(i,j)=0;
[0055] If not all grids satisfy f s-s,k If (i,j) = 1, then return to step nine six;
[0056] Cellular automata technology is used to simulate the process represented by the calculation results of steps 94 and 96, that is, to simulate the remelting of the solid phase and the formation of dendrites in the liquid phase, and output the microstructure at different times.
[0057] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0058] This invention obtains the temperature gradient and primary dendrite spacing within the molten pool based on experimental characterization, thereby calculating the liquidus line and eutectic reaction temperature during non-equilibrium solidification. Based on electron probe microanalysis results, the actual solid phase composition field in the as-cast state is used as the initial condition for calculation, more realistically reproducing the actual solidification process. Simultaneously, the microstructure evolution and particle movement are coupled in the calculation, solving the current problem of inaccurately predicting the microstructure formation of particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites. This provides theoretical guidance and data support for a deeper understanding of the microstructure formation within the molten pool and the optimization of process parameters during laser forming of composite materials.
[0059] This invention employs cellular automata technology to simulate magnesium alloys with reinforcing particles, using experimental data as the initial conditions for simulation calculations to simulate remelting. Considering the influence of dendrite growth on particle movement, numerical prediction of the microstructure of particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composites remelted by laser surface melting can be achieved. This invention can more accurately predict the formation of microstructure and particle migration within the molten pool during laser melting of metals, providing theoretical support for optimizing laser forming processes for composite materials.

[0114] Step 2: Determine the relationship between the melt viscosity and temperature of the particle-reinforced magnesium matrix composite material;
[0115] Step 3: Divide the molten pool region and air layer into cubic meshes. The size of each cubic mesh is Δx×Δx×Δx.
[0116] The substrate layer is divided into cubic meshes, and the size of each cubic mesh is Δx. o ×Δx o ×Δx o Δx < Δx o ;
[0117] Mesh generation allows for the calculation of heat and momentum transfer within the molten pool during the LSR process, thereby describing the changes in temperature and flow fields during molten pool formation.
[0118] Step 4: Based on the liquidus temperature T' during the non-equilibrium solidification process l Eutectic reaction temperature T' e The flow field in the air layer and molten pool region is calculated by analyzing the relationship between melt viscosity and temperature, and the average density and the flow velocity of the molten metal are obtained.
[0119] Step 5: For the air layer, molten pool region, and substrate region, calculate the temperature field based on the average density and molten metal flow velocity obtained in Step 4.
[0120] Step 6: For the molten pool region, calculate the net force on the particles based on the molten metal flow velocity obtained in Step 4. Solve the particle motion equations based on the net force on the particles and the molten metal flow velocity obtained in Step 4 to obtain the particle motion velocity field.
[0121] Step 7: Determine whether the laser scanning process is complete;
[0122] If the laser scanning process is completed, stop the calculation and output the temperature field, liquid flow velocity field and particle motion velocity field of the local area of the molten pool at different times, and then continue to execute step eight.
[0123] If the laser scanning process is not finished, increment the time step by 1, and return to step four using the net force on the particle calculated in step six.
[0124] Step 8: Select a sub-region from the molten pool region as the computational domain for tissue simulation (it should be noted that the selected region should not contain agglomerates, and the selected region should be a local area on a two-dimensional cross-section).

X-cell Line N Y-cell A matrix of columns;
[0128] Therefore, the computational domain for the microstructure simulation is the same size as the experimental test region contained in the experimental results data file. Thus, in the experimental results data file, the size of each grid in the computational domain is Δx. sub-cell ·Δx sub-cell The area of the computational domain is N. X-cell ·Δx sub-cell ·N Y-cell· Δx sub-cell Therefore, the X direction of the computational domain contains N. X-cell There are N grids, with N grids in the Y direction. Y-cell The number of grids means that the experimental results data file is an N-cell grid. X-cell Line N Y-cell A matrix of columns;
[0129] Step 92: Read the cooling curve file (tem-time.dat) output in Step 8, and assign the temperature T at different times to the grid in the i-th row and j-th column of the computational domain according to the cooling curve. cell,k (i,j), the cooling curve includes NK time points and a time step of Δt. cell =Time cell,2 -Time cell,1 =Time cell,3 -Time cell,2 =…=Time cell,NK -Time cell,NK-1 , where Time cell,1 This refers to the time corresponding to the first moment;
[0130] Furthermore, at the same time, the temperature of each grid in the computational domain is the same; that is, no heat transfer calculations are performed between grids at the same time, and each grid in the computational domain simultaneously obtains the maximum temperature T on the cooling curve. max-cell ;
[0131] Based on the experimental data file obtained from electron probe characterization, the solid phase composition Cs at the initial time is assigned to each grid in the computational domain. cell,1 (i,j), at each time point during the remelting stage, the solid composition of each grid remains unchanged, where i takes values in [1,N]. X-cell The value of j is [1, N]. Y-cell ];
[0132] Step 93: At the initial moment, initialize the initial value of the liquid phase composition of the mesh (i,j) to C. l,1 (i,j)=Cs cell,1 (i,j) / k v k v This represents the non-equilibrium solute partition coefficient, with the initial solid fraction of grid (i,j) being f. s-r,1 (i,j)=1, the initial value of the composition at the solid-liquid interface is The initial value of the solid fraction in the resolidification stage is f. s-s,k (i,j)=0, only parameter f s-s,k In (i,j), k represents the first moment of the resolidification stage;
[0133] Initialization time k = 1;
[0134] Step 94, according to f s-r,k The melting factor q of the computational mesh (i,j) is calculated. m :

These A or more particles will remain fixed within this grid. At any given moment within the current time step, if fewer than A particles move to the same position, these particles are considered not to have formed an agglomeration, and they will continue to participate in subsequent flow motion calculations.

[0251] A sand-cast gravity stepped-shape casting filling experiment was designed for thin-walled parts with wall thicknesses of 6 mm, 5 mm, 4 mm, and 3 mm. The sprue height was 66 mm and the runner length was 80 mm. Figure 4(a) shows the casting dimensions, and Figure 4(b) shows the casting pouring result. The stepped-shape casting design aims to ensure complete filling, thereby facilitating a better comparison between simulation and experiment, and determining the viscosity-temperature curve.

[0253] Figure 6 In this design, the computational domain is divided into the molten pool region, the air layer, and the substrate region. The molten pool region and the air layer are the main areas where physical phenomena occur during the laser remelting process; therefore, the mesh size is relatively small (Δx×Δx×Δx=50×50×50μm). 3 This improves computational accuracy; the substrate region only experiences heat transfer and is a non-primary region, therefore the mesh size is relatively large (Δx). o ×Δx o ×Δx o =500×500×500μm 3 ).

[0255] Figure 8 This is the flow field distribution obtained from numerical calculations. From... Figure 8 (a)~ Figure 8 (f) It can be seen that at all three scanning speeds, Mariganni flow and recoil pressure-induced flow exist within the molten pool. As the scanning speed decreases, the Mariganni flow and recoil pressure-induced flow become more intense and turbulent, mainly due to the high energy of the laser input. The keyhole phenomenon is more pronounced in the flow field obtained using non-equilibrium phase diagram data, while it is not obvious in the flow field obtained using equilibrium phase diagram data.
[0256] Figure 9 This represents the numerical calculation results of the particle dispersion state within the molten pool. From... Figure 9 (a)~ Figure 9 (f) It can be seen that as the scanning speed increases, the uniformity of particle dispersion weakens. This is because the flow intensity of the Magnus flow and the convection intensity caused by the back pressure in the molten pool both decrease, reducing the drag on the particles and preventing long-range migration, thus reducing the degree of uniform dispersion. Particles calculated using non-equilibrium phase diagram data are more dispersed; while particle dispersion calculated using equilibrium phase diagram data is less uniform, such as... Figure 9 (b) and (d) in the text, which is consistent with... Figure 10 The measurement results are inconsistent because Figure 10 When the scanning speed is 150 mm / s and 350 mm / s, the microhardness is 101.6 HV. 0.3 and 96.1HV 0.3 Higher microhardness corresponds to a more uniform particle dispersion. Figure 9 (a) and Figure 9 The particle dispersion predicted in (c) is more uniform and therefore more reasonable.
[0257] Figure 10 This is the temperature change curve calculated for a point in the molten pool. When the scan speed is 150 mm / s, the average heating rate at this point is 1.07 × 10⁻⁶. 5 K / s, with an average cooling rate of 1.44 × 10⁻⁶ K / s. 5 K / s; when the scanning speed is 350 mm / s, the average heating rate at this point is 1.23 × 10 K / s; 5 K / s, with an average cooling rate of 1.87 × 10⁻⁶ K / s. 5 K / s; when the scanning speed is 450 mm / s, the average heating rate at this point is 1.41 × 10 K / s; 5 K / s, with an average cooling rate of 1.73 × 10⁻⁶ K / s. 5K / s. As the scanning speed decreases, the heating rate also decreases because the laser moves slowly and requires a longer time to reach the maximum temperature. The cooling rate also decreases as the scanning speed decreases, but the pattern is not obvious. This is mainly because the laser input energy increases with decreasing scanning speed, which slows down the cooling rate. Simultaneously, as the laser input energy increases, the flow within the molten pool becomes more intense and complex. Therefore, under the combined effect of input energy and liquid flow, the cooling rate does not show a significant trend.
[0258] Figure 11 These are the results of electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) composition analysis. The EPMA test step size is 0.6 μm, which is submicron level, and the test area size is 240 μm × 180 μm. The EPMA test results of the as-cast Mg-9Al alloy show that the grain boundaries are rich in Al, approaching 20 wt.%, while the intragranular aluminum content is low, below 5 wt.%. Casting is a slow cooling process. According to the alloy equilibrium phase diagram, the composition of the first precipitated phase is low, while the grain boundaries are in the later solidification region, hence the high composition.
[0259] Figure 12 This represents the composition field distribution after remelting. When the scan speed is 150 mm / s, the liquid phase composition field after remelting is as follows: Figure 12 As shown in (a) above, compared to Figure 11 (Compositional distribution before remelting) shows a decrease in intergranular composition, but a uniform compositional distribution is not achieved, mainly because diffusion is the driving force for remelting. At a scan speed of 350 mm / s, the liquid phase compositional field after remelting is as follows: Figure 12 As shown in (b) above, compared to Figure 12 In (a), the intergranular composition is more uneven, mainly due to the increased cooling rate. When the scanning speed is 450 mm / s, the liquid phase composition field after remelting is as follows: Figure 12 As shown in (c) in the figure, compared to Figure 12 In (a) and (b), the intergranular composition is the most uneven because the cooling rate is faster. Figure 12 The obtained liquid phase composition field is used as the input parameter for subsequent tissue simulation calculations.
[0260] Figure 13 This simulation yields the grain structure and particle distribution at different scan rates. In (a1), (b1), and (c1), the calculated average grain sizes are 4 μm, 3.6 μm, and 4.56 μm, respectively. With increasing scan rate, the grain size first decreases and then increases. The simulated grain size variation trend and values are consistent with... Figure 14The experimental trends are consistent with those in (a2), indicating that simulation can quantitatively reproduce experimental results to a certain extent. From (a2), (b2), and (c2), it can be seen that the particle distribution is relatively similar. Under rapid cooling conditions, the effect of microstructure formation on particle displacement is greatly reduced, and more particles are captured by rapidly growing grains and thus exist within the grains. This trend is consistent with previous theoretical studies.
[0261] Figure 14 This is a statistical diagram of grain structure and grain size distribution at different scan rates obtained from EBSD experimental characterization. Figure 14 In the figure, (a) and (d) are statistical diagrams of grain structure and grain size distribution at a scanning speed of 150 mm / s, respectively. Figure 14 Figures (b) and (e) show the grain structure and grain size distribution at a scanning speed of 350 mm / s, respectively. Figure 14 Figures (c) and (f) show the grain structure and grain size distribution at a scanning speed of 450 mm / s, respectively. The black dashed line represents the substrate, i.e., the as-cast structure. The as-cast structure within the substrate is coarse, while the structure within the molten pool is very fine. The grain size distribution chart shows that as the scanning speed increases, the grain size first decreases and then increases. The decrease is due to the increased cooling rate resulting from the increased scanning speed, thus refining the grain structure. The increase is due to the shallower molten pool depth and increased temperature gradient, which promotes the formation of some columnar crystals (approximately elongated). The formation of columnar crystals prevents the nucleation of some equiaxed crystals (approximately circular), thus ultimately resulting in a slight increase in grain size.
