The Inconel X-750 indicates good hot corrosion resistance, high stability and strength at high temperatures and for this reason the alloy is used in manufacturing of gas turbine hot components. The objective of this research was study the effect of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on fusion zone and heat affected zone microstructure and mechanical properties of Inconel X-750 weld. After welding, samples were solutionized at 1500 0C. Various aging temperature and times were studied. The results show that aging temperature and time during PWHT can greatly affect microstructure and hardness in fusion zone and heat affected zone. As high aging temperature was used, the grain size also increased and M23C6 at the grain boundary decreased. This can result in decreased of hardness. Moreover excessive aging temperature can result in increasing MC carbide intensity in parent phase (austenite). It can also be observed that M23C6 at the grain boundary decreased due to high aging temperature. This resulted in decreasing of hardness of weld metal and heat affected zone. Experimental results showed that the aging temperature 705 0C aging time of 24 hours provided smaller grain size, suitable size and intensity of MC carbide resulting in higher hardness both in weld metal and HAZ.

The aims of this research are to investigate the effect of Sm addition in Mg-Al-Ca alloys on microstructure and mechanical properties. Sm addition to Mg-5Al-3Ca based alloys results in the change from dendritic to equiaxed grain morphorlogy and formation of Al-Sm rich itermetallic compounds at grain boundary and α-Mg matrix. And these Al-Sm rich intermetallic compounds were dispersed homogeously and stabilized at high temperature. And maximum yield and ultimate strength value was obtained at Mg-5Al-3Ca-2Sm alloys at elevated temperature because of homogeneous dispersion of stable Al-Sm rich intermetallic compound at high temperature.

The effect of manganese addition on decreasing hot crack susceptibility of submerged arc welding in microalloyed steels is well understood, but its increment should not cause unsuitable changes in metallurgical and mechanical properties of weld metal. Therefore, since weld metal Mn content in SAW process is mainly controlled by welding wire composition, the aim of this investigation is to study the effect of wire Mn content on the microstructure, mechanical properties and hot crack susceptibility of helical linepipes weld metal. In this regard, three different wires with 0.88, 1.05 and 1.54 wt% of Mn content were selected and welding was performed in both experimental and production process condition of X70 helical linepipes. As a result, 1.26, 1.44 and 1.67 wt% of Mn in weld metal was obtained respectively. Metallographical examinations using optical and scanning electron microscopy showed that, increasing the amount of Mn in weld metal, decrease the grain size of all phases (acicular ferrite, primary ferrite and ferrite with aligned second phase). Moreover, in the expense of increasing acicular ferrite, the volume fraction of primary ferrite (mostly grain boundary ferrite) and ferrite with aligned second phase decreased. Also, the results of mechanical properties indicated that the higher the amount of Mn, the higher the strength and hardness of weld metal, but in the case of impact toughness and tensile elongation, an optimum level was observed and lower toughness in the highest Mn content weld metal is attributed to the increasing hardenability and thus formation of martensite/retained austenite islands and grain boundary carbides in coincident sites of acicular ferrite grains. Moreover, analyzes in more than 1000m helical linepipes weld metal length showed that increasing weld metal Mn content up to 1.4wt%, reduced the possibility of hot crack formation from total percentage of 0.005 to around 0.001.

A 20 mm thick TC4 titanium alloy plate was welded by ultranarrow gap laser welding with filler wire with Ar and He as shielding gas, respectively. A characterization analysis of the microstructures and mechanical properties of the welded joint was conducted with OM, SEM, XRD, and EBSD and through the microhardness test and tensile test. The results showed that HAZ of the welded joint formed with Ar as shielding gas was much wider than that with He, and weld microstructure composition with the two shielding gases was basically consistent; phase boundary of the weld metal obtained with Ar was clearer, with a larger misorientation between the laths; α′ martensite lath in weld metal prepared with He showed obvious preferred orientation distribution, and α′ martensite microstructure was much finer; the misorientation of α′ phase grain boundary of weld microstructure prepared with Ar was slightly less distributed in high angle grain boundary than that with He; tensile property of the welded joint prepared with He was better than that with Ar; the hardness of each zone of welded joint prepared with He was less fluctuated and the hardness value measured was slightly higher than that with Ar.

The results of the research of structure and properties of a composite compact from 13 Cr – 2 Мо and BN powders depending on the concentration of boron nitride are provided. It is shown that adding boron nitride in an amount of more than 2% by weight of the charge mixture leads to the formation of extended grain boundary porosity and finely dispersed BN layers in the structure, which provides a high level of wearing properties of the material. The effect of boron nitride concentration on physical and mechanical properties is determined. It was found that the introduction of a small amount of BN (up to 2 % by weight) into the compacts leads to an increase in plasticity, bending strength, and toughness by reducing the friction forces between the metal powder particles during pressing and a more complete grain boundary diffusion process during sintering. The formation of a regulated structure-phase composition of powder compacts of 13 Cr – 2 Mо – BN when the content of boron nitride changes in them allows us to provide the specified physical and mechanical properties in a wide range. The obtained results of studies of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the developed material allow us to reasonably choose the necessary composition of the powder compact for sealing structures of the flow part of steam turbines, depending on their operating conditions.

This paper presents results from experimental work on mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete, mortar and paste prepared using fly ash and blended slag. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength tests were conducted on large sets of geopolymer and ordinary concrete, mortar and paste after exposure to elevated temperatures. From Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) test results, the geopolymer exhibits excellent resistance to elevated temperature. Compressive strengths of C30, C40 and C50 geopolymer concrete, mortar and paste show incremental improvement then followed by a gradual reduction, and finally reach a relatively consistent value with an increase in exposure temperature. The higher slag content in the geopolymer reduces residual strength and the lower exposure temperature corresponding to peak residual strength. Resistance to elevated temperature of C40 geopolymer concrete, mortar and paste is better than that of ordinary concrete, mortar and paste at the same grade. XRD, TGA and SEM analysis suggests that the heat resistance of C–S–H produced using slag is lower than that of sulphoaluminate gel (quartz and mullite, etc.) produced using fly ash. This facilitates degradation of C30, C40 and C50 geopolymer after exposure to elevated temperatures.

AbstractThe alloy 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V is commonly used for heavy wall pressure vessels in the petrochemical industry, such as hydrogen reactors. As these reactors are operated at elevated temperatures and high pressures, the 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V welding consumables require a beneficial combination of strength and toughness as well as enhanced creep properties. The mechanical properties are known to be influenced by several welding parameters. This study deals with the influence of the heat input during submerged-arc welding (SAW) on the solidification structure and mechanical properties of 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V multilayer metal. The heat input was found to increase the primary and secondary dendrite spacing as well as the bainitic and prior austenite grain size of the weld metal. Furthermore, it was determined that a higher heat input during SAW causes an increase in the stress rupture time and a decrease in Charpy impact energy. This is assumed to be linked to a lower number of weld layers, and therefore, a decreased amount of fine grained reheated zone if the multilayer weld metal is fabricated with higher heat input. In contrast to the stress rupture time and the toughness, the weld metal’s strength, ductility and macro-hardness remain nearly unaffected by changes of the heat input.
