In this paper, developed a non-aluminum die casting magnesium alloys were studied based on Mg-xGd-Y-Zr(x=6, 8, 12 wt.%)alloys in cold chamber press. The microstructures and mechanical properties of die casting GWK alloys have been investigated using OM, SEM, XRD, EDS and mechanical property test. The experimental results show that with increasing Gd content of Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys, the tensile strength increase, but elongation decrease. In particular, die casting GWK alloys after short-term and low-temperature solid solution treatment (T4) have a small variation in grain size and more uniform microstructures, and the second phases distribute at the grain boundaries in form of discontinuous rod shape or granule shape, which result in an obvious improvement in tensile mechanical properties of alloys. The Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.5Zr die casting alloy exhibit maximum tensile strength after solution heat treatment, and the value is 269MPa at room temperature. The effect of solution heat treatment on die casting Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys was also discussed.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of three powder metallurgy Ti-48Al-2Cr- 2Nb-xW alloys (where x=0, 0.5, and 1 atomic percent (at.%)) are presented. The results indicate that a solution heat treatment combined with controlled cooling generate a fully lamellar (FL) microstructure without the formation of detrimental Widmanstätten or massively transformed γ phases. Aging causes coarsening of the FL microstructure in the alloys containing 0%W and 0.5%W, while almost no coarsening occurs in the 1%W sample. The addition of W to the base composition results in the formation of precipitates at the lamellar interfaces and grain boundaries during aging which helps stabilize the FL microstructure. The amount of W and the aging time affect the room temperature hardness values and tensile properties.

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of a squeeze-casted Al-6.8%Zn-2.7%Mg-2.0%Cu alloy were studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is found that squeeze casting can refine the microstructure of the alloy markedly accelerates the diffusion process of solute atoms during solution heat treatment. After solution heat treatment at 470°C for 10h and artificial aging at 130°C for 24h, the tensile strength and the elongation of the squeeze-casted alloy reach 590MPa and 5.0%, respectively, which are almost equal to those of the wrought alloy, and are significantly higher than those of the gravity-casted alloy (435MPa and 1.3%). Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of microstructural evolution and the effect of squeeze casting on the kinetics of solute diffusion and aging precipitation of the squeeze-casted Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy were discussed.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Zr-Y alloy extruded bar with different heat treatment processes were investigated, including solution treatments of 400 oC, 450 oC and 500 oC for 3 hours followed by 170 oC×24h aging treatment, and solely aging treatments of 160 oC, 180 oC for 24hours without solution after extruding. By comparing the grain size, strength and elongation of the samples, the heat treatment processes for extruded products with high strength and with medium strength were recommended.

This paper deals with the study of the development, structural and microstructural characterization and, selected mechanical properties of Ti-25Ta-50Zr alloy for biomedical applications. The alloy was melted in an arc furnace and various solution heat treatments were performed to analyze the influence of the temperature and time on the structure, microstructure, microhardness and elastic modulus of the samples. The structural and microstructural results, obtained by X-ray diffraction and microscopy techniques, showed that the solution heat treatment performed at high temperatures induces the formation of the β phase, while solution heat treatment performed at low temperatures induces the formation of the α” and ω metastable phases. Regarding the effect of time, samples subjected to heat treatment for 6 hours have only the β phase, indicating that lengthy treatments suppress the α” phase. Regarding the hardness and elastic modulus, the alloy with the α” and ω phases, after treatment performed at a temperature of 500 °C, has a high hardness value and elastic modulus due to the presence of the ω phase that hardens and weakens alloys. The titanium alloys developed in this study have excellent mechanical properties results for use in the orthopedic area, better than many commercial materials such as cp-Ti, stainless steel and Co-Cr alloys.
