A new type of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si series high temperature titanium alloy was prepared by a water-cooled copper crucible vacuum induction melting method, and its phase transition point was determined by differential thermal analysis to be Tβ = 1017 °C. The influences of solution temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-forged high temperature titanium alloy were studied. XRD results illustrated that the phase composition of the alloy after different heat treatments was mainly α phase and β phase. The microstructures showed that with the increase of the solution temperature, the content of the primary α phase gradually reduced, the β transformation structure increased by degrees, then, the number and size of secondary α phase increased obviously. The tensile results at room temperature (RT) illustrated that as the solution temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually increased, and the plasticity decreased slightly. The results of tensile test at 650 °C illustrated that the strength of the alloy enhanced with the increase of solution temperature, the plasticity decreased first and then increased, when the solution temperature increased to 1000 °C, the alloy had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, the tensile strength reached 714.01 MPa and the elongation was 8.48 %. Based on the room temperature and high temperature properties of the alloy, the best heat treatment process is finally determined as: 1000 °C/1 h/AC+650 °C/6 h/AC.

A high temperature alloy Ti-1100 was produced by vacuum induction melting technology. The effects of casting modulus on the microstructure and hardness of the cast alloys were determined and the results were presented and briefly discussed. Results demonstrate that the microstructure of cast alloys with different modulus are all widmanstatten structure with basket weave features where individual α-laths are separated by a thin layer of retained prior β phase. The greater the modulus, the larger the prior β grain size and α-laths spacing, and the less the Vickers hardness. The roles of the casting modulus governing the microstructures and hardness of the alloys were also discussed.

AbstractThe objective of this study is to evaluate the high temperature behavior of γ TiAl-based alloy sheets containing AI2O3 particles, produced by a combination of vacuum induction melting, use of a CaO crucible, and direct sheet casting, over a wide temperature range. Alumina particles, having a tendency to coagulate during solidification of a TiAl ingot, are finely dispersed due to the disturbance of high frequency induction, and frozen without having enough time to grow in size by direct sheet casting. The TiAl sheet thus produced shows remarkable high temperature tensile strength which exceeds that of conventional ingots having the same composition and various different structures. This is determined to be attributable to the dispersion strengthening of finely dispersed AI2O3 particles whose diameter is from 100 to 500nm. Moreover, because of the small size of these alumina particles, the TiAl sheet does not show any significant retardation in high temperature ductility, which is often the case in conventional ceramic-reinforced intermetallic compound composites.

In this research, a composition optimized In718 superalloy powder suitable for additive manufacturing has been developed by using the vacuum induction melting gas atomization (VIGA) and the powder sieving process. VIGA which combines the vacuum induction melting (VIM) and gas atomization (GA) processes uses high pressure inert gas to atomize the metal melt formed by VIM to form metal droplets. These metal droplets are solidified to form metal powders during the falling process in the atomized chamber. After the sieving process, the mean particle size D50 of the powder is less than 35 μm and the particle size distribution (PSD) ranges from 10 to 55 μm (D10~D90). Besides, the produced powder has high flowability (ICarr ≦15), which is suitable for selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing (AM). After the SLM process, the tensile tests are conducted at room temperature and high temperature of 650°C. The results show that the high temperature properties of the optimized In718 superalloy are superior to the commercial In718 superalloy.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Ni3Al based intermetallic alloys produced by vacuum arc melting and vacuum induction melting were investigated in terms of phase analysis using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometer and tensile test machine. The duplex microstructural feature consisting of γ’ matrix phase and small intermetallic dispersoids was observed to be distributed over the whole microstructure in the Zr and/or Mo-added samples. From the SEM-EDS analysis of the alloys, it is clearly confirmed that the Mo is solved both into γ’ matrix phase and intermetallic phase while Zr has a role to form an intermetallic Ni5Zr phase for the entire alloys investigated. The ultimate tensile strength of the present alloy was superior to iron-based and Ni-based die materials especially in the high temperature region. The mechanical results obtained will be discussed in correlation with microstructural observations, phase analyses.

Iron-base alloys containing 8-11 wt.% Si, 4-8 wt.% Al, known as “Sendust” alloys, show excellent soft magnetic properties. These magnetic properties are strongly dependent on heat treatment conditions, especially on the quenching temperature following annealing. But little has been known about the microstructure and the Fe-Si-Al ternary phase diagram has not been established. In the present investigation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to study the microstructure in a Sendust alloy as a function of temperature.An Fe-9.34 wt.% Si-5.34 wt.% Al (approximately Fe3Si0.6Al0.4) alloy was prepared by vacuum induction melting, and homogenized at 1,200°C for 5 hrs. Specimens were heat-treated in a vertical tube furnace in air, and the temperature was controlled to an accuracy of ±2°C. Thin foils for TEM observation were prepared by jet polishing using a mixture of perchloric acid 15% and acetic acid 85% at 10V and ∼13°C. Electron microscopy was performed using a Philips EM 301 microscope.
