Investigating the Efficacy of Thermal and Thermomechanical Treatments for Strengthening High-zinc Single Phase Brass
Brass Ë 63 (ËÖ 37) usually attribute to the double
monophase composition-metals. However, researches of the last years showed that surplus β' - a phase in brass can
appear in a structure already at maintenance more than 30-32% Zn. Managing the type of initial structure, processes of dissolution a
nd selection of surplus phase, it is possible not only to affect complex of mechanical properties but also on the deformability of brass
in the process of cold flowage.
The aim of final work is a study
possibility of receipt different type of brasses structure as a result of tempering from different temperatures and estimation
of possible character her influence on work-hardening during a cold flowage and subsequent senescence.
In the process of experimental researches,
tempering of standards in a 8-9 mm thick was carried out after heating in monophase α- and β-fields and in diphasic (α+β) -field.
A subsequent cold flowage was carried out with a total degree by wringing out of 7-40%.
In the initial state structure of brass Ë 63
was grains α- solution with the including of surplus phase on borders at hardness of alloy HB 1200±30 Í/ìì2.
After tempering from 450îÑ got a monophase structure, characterized different grains, conditioned by forming on the borders of initial
grains α-phase area of ultrafine grains this phase, occupying to 35-38 % area of microsection.
Hardness of alloy some went (HB 1180±20 Í/ìì2) down here. Tempering from diphasic (α+β) -field provided the
receipt of minimum hardness - HB 990±10 Í/ìì2. Thus got a structure, consisting of "bits" and pieces
initial α-phase and areas of diphasic structure (to 50% from the area of viewing), consisting of crystals
metastable β-phase with dispersible excretions α-phase into such areas. Tempering from monophase β-field provided
the receipt of homogeneous structure martensit type, that caused the increase of hardness of brass to HB 1320±20 Í/ìì2.
It is set that character
and degree of work-hardening brass as a result of cold flowage depend on her initial structure. So,
increase of hardness at the maximal degree of deformation (35-40%) in case of rolling alloy, not exposed to the preliminary
tempering, made 430 Í/ìì2, and for the preliminary hard-tempered state, as far as the increase of temperature under tempering -
790, 710 and 690 Í/ìì2. Thus on the curves of change hardness and increase hardness depending on the degree of deformation it is
possible to distinguish 2 areas with the different degree of work-hardening : I - at the degree of deformation to 14-18% and II -
at the higher degrees of deformation. Thus maximal distinctions in the coefficients of work-hardening fixed in case of rolling of
alloy, not exposed to tempering : ÊI=5,4; ÊII=18,8, and minimum - in case of deformation of alloy with the martensit structure
(accordingly, ÊI=17,2; ÊII=18,3). These coefficients in case of tempering from monophase α - areas made - ÊI=27,1; ÊII=24,2, and
after tempering from diphasic (α+β) -field - according to 31,8 and 19,2 Í/ìì2/1%.
Thus, most distinctions in the coefficients
of work-hardening take place on the initial stages of deformation. At the degrees of deformation, exceeding 14-18%,
distinctions in the coefficients of work-hardening in case of the different initial state appear relatively small.
For further research the set problem is
planned to conduct antihunt treatment is a senescence and, on the basis of the experimental finding, to set optimal heat,
thermalmechanical treatment of monophase brass with enhanceable maintenance of zinc.
