简介：4月份美国硬币产量创近一年以来次低，仅为9．6亿枚，环比三月份下降33．6％。根据近一年的数据显示，2016年12月美国造币厂硬币产量仅为6．97亿枚，为全年最低产量，7月产量达到18．07亿枚创下年内最高产量。近期价格波动较大是造成产量下降的主要原因。

简介：研究析出强化AW-6016-T4金属板材的低温成形行为。利用拉伸和Nakazima测试方法获得材料在-196至25°C范围内的流变曲线和成形极限曲线。结果表明，材料的强度和伸长率随温度的降低而增大。背散射电子衍射(EBSD)研究表明变形材料在室温和低温下显微组织有细微区别。但连续加热差热分析表明析出动力学之间无明显区别。本研究结果表明低温变形可用于制造8mm深的B柱，而常温变形只能制造6mm深的B柱。

简介：研究热挤压Al5083/B4C纳米复合材料的显微组织表征和力学行为。Al5083和Al5083/B4C粉末在氩气气氛和旋转速度400r/min条件下球磨50h。为提高伸长率，将球磨粉末与30%和50%（质量分数）平均粒径>100μm和<100μm未球磨粉末进行混合，然后进行热压和热挤压，挤压比为9:1。采用光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、能谱、透射电子显微镜、拉伸和硬度测试研究了热挤压合金。结果表明，机械球磨和B4C颗粒使Al5083合金的屈服强度从130MPa提高至560MPa，但伸长率急剧下降(从11.3%降至0.49%)。添加平均粒径<100μm未球磨颗粒可提高合金的塑性但降低拉伸强度和硬度，而添加平均粒径>100μm未球磨颗粒同时降低拉伸强度和塑性。随着未球磨颗粒含量的增加，断裂机理从脆性断裂转变为韧性断裂。
