Because of being in possession of shape memory effect and superelasticity, Ni-Ti shape memory alloys have earned more intense gaze on the next generation applications. Conventionally, Ni-Ti shape memory alloys are manufactured by hot forming and constraint aging, which need a capital-intensive investment. To have a cost benefit getting rid of plenty of die sets, this study is aimed to form Ni-Ti shape memory alloys at room temperature and to age them at elevated temperature without any die sets. In this study, starting with solution treatments at various temperatures, which served as annealing process, Ni-rich Ni-Ti shape memory alloy wires were bent by V-shaped punches in different curvatures at room temperature. Subsequently, the wires were aged at different temperatures to have shape memory effect. As a result, springback was found after withdrawing the bending punch and further after the aging treatment as well. A higher solution treatment temperature or a smaller bending radius leads to a smaller springback, while a higher aging treatment temperature made a larger springback. This springback may be compensated by bending the wires in further larger curvatures to keep the shape accuracy as designed. To explore the shape memory effect, a reverse bending test was performed. It shows that all bent wires after aging had a shape recovery rate above 96.3% on average.

Microstructural changes occurring in biomedical Co-Cr-Mo alloys with three carbon levels due to solution treatment and aging were investigated. Ingots of Co-Cr-Mo alloys with three different carbon levels were prepared by vacuum furnace melting; their chemical composition was Co-28Cr-6Mo-xC (x = 0.12, 0.25 and 0.35 mass%). Precipitates were electrolytically extracted from as-cast and heat-treated alloys. An M23C6 type carbide and a phase were detected as precipitates in as-cast Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.12C alloy, and an M23C6 type carbide and an  phase (M6C-M12C type carbide) were detected in as-cast Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.25C and Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.35C alloys. Only the M23C6 type carbide was detected during solution treatment. Complete precipitate dissolution occurred in all the three alloys after solution treatment. The holding time required for complete precipitate dissolution increased with increasing carbon content and decreasing solution treatment temperature. Complete precipitate dissolution occurred in the Co-Cr-Mo-C alloys solution treated at 1523 K for 43.2 ks; they were then subjected to aging from 873 to 1473 K for a heating time up to 44.1 ks after complete precipitate dissolution in solution treatment at 1523 K for 43.2 ks. The M23C6 type carbide with a grain size of 0.1–3 m was observed after aging. A time-temperature-precipitation diagram of the M23C6 type carbide formed in the Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.25C alloy was plotted.

The effects of dissolution of the η′ phase by solution treatment on the mechanical properties of A7075-T6 alloy were investigated. Immediately after solution treatment of the T6 sheet at 450 oC or higher, elongation significantly increased and dissolution of the η′ phase occurred. η′ is the main hardening phase. After natural-aging, GPI, which is coherent with the aluminum matrix, was formed and strength increased. When bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength slightly increased due to partial dissolution of the GPI and re-precipitation of the η′ phase. In contrast, after solution treatment at 400 oC, there was less elongation increase due to the precipitation of the coarse η phase at grain boundaries and low dissolution of the η′ phase. In addition, when bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength decreased due to insufficient GPI, which is the nucleation site of the η′ phase. To promote reprecipitation of the η′ phase, the solution treatment temperature was set to a level that would increase solubility. As a result, the yield strength was significantly increased through re-precipitation of a large number of fine and uniform η′ phase. In addition, to increase the effect of dissolution, a pre-aging treatment was introduced and the bake hardenability can be improved after dissolution.

The thermodynamic calculation is valuable for judging the feasibility of a reaction. In the present paper, the enthalpy change (∆HR), entropy change (∆SR) and Gibbs free energy change (∆GR) among various components in AZ91D Mg alloy-Cenosphere composites (FAC/AZ91D) were calculated. Through the calculation, we obtained the relationships between the Gibbs free energy changes and temperatures. The difficulty degree of every potential reaction could be directly reflected by the correlation curve between the temperature and the Gibbs free energy change. The analysis result provided the theoretical basis for the reaction temperature and the solution treatment temperature of the FAC/AZ91D system. At the same time, the analysis based on the minimum principle of the reaction free energy revealed the final components (MgO, Mg2Si and MgAl2O4), which was partially similar to the result of XRD analysis (MgO, Mg2Si and Mg17Al12).
