The influence of solution annealing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high nitrogen Fe-Cr-Mn-Mo-N austenitic stainless steels prepared by MIM was investigated. The results show that the solution treatment can improve the microstructure and properties of the stainless steels significantly. The sintered specimens before solution annealing consist of γ-austenite and embrittling intergranular Cr2N precipitates, showing a low mechanical property. After solid solution annealing, the specimens reveal a fully austenitic structure without any intergranular nitrides, whose tensile properties are much higher than those without solution annealing, which is attributed to the elimination of the nitride precipitation along the grain boundaries and the greater amount of nitrogen retained in solid solution. A mixed mode of intergranular and dimple fracture happen to the specimens before solid solution treatment, while a completely tough fracture of dimple happen to those after solid solution treatment.

Effect of B addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ84 Mg alloy was investigated in this study. Through calculation of phase equilibria of AZ84 Mg alloy, carried out by using FactSage® and FTLite database, solution treatment temperature was decided as temperature of 330oC, where supersaturated solid solution can be obtained. Solid solution treatment of AZ84 Mg alloy was successfully conducted at 330oC and supersaturated microstructure with all almost all phases resolved into matrix was obtained. After solution treatment, hot rolling was successfully conducted by reduction of 60%. Compression and tension tests were carried out at room temperature on the samples in as-cast, solution treated, hot-rolled and subsequently recrystallized states. After solid solution treatment, each alloy was soaked at temperatures of 180 and 200oC for time intervals from 1 min to 48 hrs and hardness of each condition was measured by micro-Vickers method. Peak aging conditions were deduced as at the temperature of 200 oC for 10 hrs for ZA84 Mg alloy. By addition of boron, aging kinetics was expedited and strength was enhanced.
