Abstract |
In the present study, the effects of P and/or Misch metal (Ms) on the microstructure and high temperature tensile behavior of Bi-added, Pb-free brass were examined. It was found that the tensile ductility of Bi-added. Pb-free brass decreased significantly at 300℃. The addition of P and/or Ms, on the other hand, greatly improved elevated temperature tensile ductility of the present alloy. The microstructural observation demonstrated that the formation of Bi film along the α-β, phase boundary. which is the main cause for the low tensile ductility at elevated temperature, was substantially reduced with the addition of P and/or Ms. The retarded Bi film formation was believed to be due to the thermally stable Bi-related compounds formed in Bi-added, Pb-free brass.
