Team research achievements and application fields

It has successively undertaken more than 30 national key research and development plans, major special projects of Ningbo scientific and technological innovation and other topics, and has accumulated more than 30 million yuan of national research and development funds. It has won more than ten national, ministerial and provincial awards, published more than 400 papers, and authorized more than 40 invention patents.

Representative achievements:
1. Study on electromagnetic modification technology and engineering application of light alloy

                       electromagnetic continuous casting system        direct cold continuous casting and electromagnetic casting ingots

                  Hot top electromagnetic casting thin slab                   Magnesium alloy ingots, extruded bars and rolled sheets

Take the lead in conducting research on aluminum alloy electromagnetic casting (EMC) technology in China, master the forming and control technology and key process parameters of semi suspension column in aluminum alloy electromagnetic casting, and manufacture high-quality high-strength aluminum alloy flat ingot (520 × 130 × 1000mm) and round ingots（ Φ 174mm × 1800mm), propose the idea of hot top electromagnetic casting for continuous casting of aluminum sheet, and successfully cast 480 × 20 × 850mm aluminum sheet. The soft contact electromagnetic continuous casting technology and the original electromagnetic suspension continuous casting technology are used to effectively improve the surface quality and internal structure of magnesium alloy ingots, and significantly improve their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Mg-Al-Zn+RE, Mg-Gd-Y-Zn Zr and Mg-Sn-Zn-Al+(Gd, Y) series magnesium alloys have been developed, and magnesium alloy billets with excellent surface and internal quality have been prepared.

    It has 4 national patent, especially the continuous casting technology of bulk amorphous alloy, which breaks through the technological bottleneck of large-scale continuous production of amorphous alloy bars for the first time in the world, reachies the world's advanced level. It has deeply cooperated with Ningbo Branch of Chinese Academy of Ordnance Science to develop bulk amorphous products with a technical maturity of more than 5 levels, showing a good industrialization prospect. More than 30 academic papers have been published in Materials Letters, JAC and other journals.

3. Design, preparation and numerical simulation of porous metals

Aluminum foam with different porosities

    As a structural material, porous metal has the advantages of light weight, high specific strength and high specific stiffness. As a functional material, it has the characteristics of filtering, shielding, sound absorption performance, etc. By using melt foaming method, metal gas eutectic directional solidification method and percolation method, combined with numerical simulation theoretical calculation and mechanical/electromagnetic stirring, porous metals with different structure types were designed and prepared, and their mechanical properties and functional properties were further studied.

4. High performance amorphous nanocrystalline soft magnetic material technology

High-performance amorphous nanocrystalline soft magnetic material technology

With Ningbo Zhongke Bipulasi New Material Technology Co., Ltd., we jointly built an innovation base of "High performance amorphous nanocrystalline soft magnetic material technology development and application". In view of the urgent demand for high permeability soft magnetic materials at high frequencies in the development of high frequency and miniaturization of electronic components, new amorphous and nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy materials with higher permeability at frequencies above 100kHz were developed. The magnetic permeability of new amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys at 100kHz will reach more than 40000, and their performance will reach the international leading level. After the completion of the project, a thousand ton new amorphous and nanocrystalline alloy strip production line will be built, and the products will be widely used in 5G communication, automotive, high-frequency filtering, wireless charging and other fields.
