The influence of the solution treatment (at the temperature of 500-520°C for 4-12 h) on microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy was investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness measurement. The as-cast alloy contains a microstructure consisting of α-Mg matrix, Mg5Gd phase and Mg24Y5phase. With increasing solution temperature and time, the quantity of the primary particles (Mg5Gd and Mg24Y5) in the alloy continually decreased, and the degree of recrystallization gradually increased, which result in the gradual decrease of the Vickers hardness of the solution-treated alloys.

Ti Addition

This research focused on investigating the effects of Ti addition on the age hardening response of Al 7xxx alloy for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine impeller application in power plant generators. Al-10Zn-6Mg wt. % alloys were produced by squeeze casting with 0.02, 0.05, and 0.25 wt. % Ti addition. As-cast samples were homogenized at 400 °C for 4 h. Solution treatment was conducted at 440 °C for 1 h, followed by quenching and ageing at 130 °C for 200 h. Age hardening result was observed using Rockwell B hardness measurement. Other characterizations included impact testing, STA, optical microscopy, and SEM-EDS. Results showed that the addition of Ti in all content variations increased the as-cast hardness due to the diminution of secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) values of the alloy. Ageing at 130 °C strengthened the alloys, however the addition of Ti was not found to affect neither peak hardness nor impact values of the alloy. Identities of second phases formed during solidification were found to be T (Mg32(Al,Zn)49), β (Al8Mg5), and TiAl3, while precipitates produced during ageing were GP Zone, η′, and η (MgZn2).

Simultaneous Processing

Extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing is a very attractive technique for fabricating a rod-shape material with fine grain and random texture. We have proposed a new screw form rolling process combined with preliminary extrusion-torsion simultaneous working. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property change of AZ91D magnesium alloy during extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing was examined through microstructure observation, X-ray diffraction analysis and micro-Vickers hardness measurement. By the addition of torsion, the crystal orientation of AZ91D magnesium alloy workpiece was drastically changed from basal crystalline orientation to the random orientation. Crystal grain occurred through the dynamic recrystallization and tended to coarsen with an increase of extrusion-torsion temperature. Grain refinement under 2 um was achieved at the lowest extrusion-torsion temperature of 523 K. M8 gauge AZ91D magnesium alloy screw was successfully formed at room temperature using the extrusion-twisted workpiece preliminary solution treating at 678 K for 345.6 ks. It was found that the extrusion-torsion temperature of 678 K must be selected to fabricate the good screw without any defects.

The titanium alloys are used in aeronautical applications (up to 75% of titanium alloys), reinforcements, biomedical applications, army industry, because of a high traction resistance, low weight, excellent corrosion resistance and capacity to resist at extreme temperatures. However, some titanium applications are restricted by the small hardness, high friction coefficient and low usage resistance. The paper shows the experimental researches made on Ti-6Al-4V alloy, subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatments. The hardening heat treatment of titanium alloys with α+β structure consists in stabilization phenomenon of β solid solution dissolved in α’ and α’’ metastable phase. After quenching and tempering heat treatments, are obtained good mechanical properties in biphasic alloys, maintaining the plasticity characteristics in reasonable limits. The efficiency evaluation of heat treatments was realized through micro-hardness measurement and structure analyses on electronic microscope.

Evaporation Method

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals is very interesting due to its nonlinear optical property. This study investigated on improving of material for academic use by adding boric acid to modify ADP crystals. Slow evaporation method in aqueous solutions of pure ADP and ADP doped with three concentrations of H3BO3 as 0.1, 1.0, 5.0 %wt were studied. The grown crystals were confirmed tetragonal structure by powder X-ray diffraction studies. The FTIR spectrum analysis presented various functional groups of boron in three conditions of doped ADP. TGA study was comfirned the temperature stability at 220 °C for both pure and doped ADP crytals. The machanical stress was analyzed by Vicker’s hardness measurement. The results of this analysis showed boric acid doped 1.0 %wt had superior machanical stress from 10 to 75 grams. ADP doped with boric acid at 1.0 %wt was accepted in all test properties.
