Ti3Al-Nb alloy (Ti-24Al-15Nb) was welded by a pulsed laser welding system without and with pure Nb filler metal. The results indicated that pure Nb filler metal had profound effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the laser-welded joints. The joint without filler metal consisted of the weld zone (α’2 + B2), heat affected zone HAZ1 (α2 + B2), HAZ2 (α2 + O + B2) and base metal (α2 + O + B2), and gas pores were generated in the weld resulting in the deterioration of the joint strength (330 MPa) and elongation (1.9%). When the Nb filler metal was used, the weld microstructure (NbTi solid solution + O + B2) was obtained, and the joint properties were significantly improved, which was associated with the strengthening effect of the NbTi solid solution, O phase precipitation and the slip transmission between O and B2 phases, and the restraining of the formation of martensite (α’2) and gas pores in the weld. The strength (724 MPa) and elongation (5.1%) of the joint increased by 119.4% and 168.4% compared with those of the joint without filler metal, and the joint strength was able to reach 81.7% of the base metal strength (886 MPa). It is favorable to use pure Nb filler metal for improving the mechanical properties of laser-welded Ti3Al-Nb alloy joints.

The effects of different Fe contents (0.168, 0.356 and 0.601 wt%) on microstructures and mechanical properties of the Al–1.6Mg–1.2Si–1.1Cu–0.15Cr–0.15Zr (all in wt%) alloys prepared by low frequency electromagnetic casting process were investigated in the process of solidification, hot extrusion, solid solution and aging treatments. The results show that the increase of Fe content promotes the formation of feathery grains in the process of solidification and the precipitation of another important strengthening phase Q′ with small size. Additionally, it also results in no recrystallization even after solid solution at a high temperature of 550 °C, which is because of the increase number of elliptical shaped and fine DO22-Al3Zr dispersoids (∼70 nm long and ∼35 nm wide) and the spherical or elliptical shaped Fe-containing phases. When Fe content of the alloy increases to 0.356 wt%, both the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy-T6 increase by more than 60 MPa and with little cost of ductility.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of single phase and multiphase alloys are reported for Al-rich intermetallic alloys containing up to 45 at. % Ti and as much as 68 at. % Cr. Among the individual phases formed in these alloys, TiAl and tau (Al67Cr8Ti25) had both the lowest hardnesses and the greatest resistance to cracking. Additionally, the presence of these two phases in multiphase alloys improved mechanical properties.

The influences of electric current on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy were investigated by electric conductivity measurement, tensile test, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. When applying electric current both at solid solution and ageing treatment, the alloy has the highest peak strength, and the time to peak strength shortens by 12h. The electric current applying during either solid solution or ageing, increases the density and size of β'' phase.

A series of Mg-6Al-2Sr-1.5Y-xNd (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2) alloy samples were prepared and their microstructures were observed and mechanical properties were measured. The existing forms of Y and Nd were studied. The effects of Y and Nd on microstructure and mechanical properties of AJ62 alloy were investigated. The results show that the main existing forms of Y and Nd in AJ62 alloy are Al2Y and Al2Nd. The combined addition of rare earth Y and Nd can refine α-Mg matrix obviously and reduce the amount of the β-Mg17Al12phases; after solid solution treatment, the tensile strength of the alloys rise first and fall later with increasing content of Nd. When the content of Nd is about 0.6%wt, the values of tensile strengthes are up to the maximum both at room temperature and at 448 K.

AZ31 magnesium alloy profiles were prepared by continuous rheo-extrusion process, and effects of solution and aging treatments on the microstructures and mechanical properties was investigated by OLYMPUS optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy device and tensile machine. The results reveal that saturated solid solution was formed in the profile at a solution temperature of 415 °C and 16 hours. During aging treatment of saturated solid solution, β-Mg17Al12 phase nucleates firstly at grain boundaries and takes on globular growth, which is mainly due to the lower interfacial energy in coherent or semi-coherent interface between β-Mg17Al12 phase and matrix phase. Lower interfacial energy is favorable to the nucleation and growth of β-Mg17Al12 phase at grain boundary. With the increase of aging time or the rise of aging temperature, β-Mg17Al12 phase precipitates out gradually from grain interior and starts to grow in globular shape. After β-Mg17Al12 phase grows to a certain extent, it grows in lamellar shape along the orientation of lower mismatch between β-Mg17Al12 phase and matrix phase. After solution at 415°C and 16h and aging at 180°C and 8h, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the profile are 305MPa and 13%, respectively.

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the effects of solid solution treatment and aging treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of an Al-13Si-5Cu-2Ni alloy. The results show that the size of eutectic silicon decreased with solid solution treatment temperature increasing until 510 °C. Subsequently, the eutectic silicon size continued to increase as the temperature increased to 520 °C. Initially, the acicular eutectic silicon of the as-cast alloy was 10.1 μm in size. After the solid solution treatment at 510 °C, the eutectic silicon size was reduced to 6.5 μm. The θ′ phase is the main strengthening phase in the alloy, therefore, the effect of aging treatment on θ′ phases was explored. As the aging time increased, the diameter, length, and fraction volume of the θ′ phases were found to increase. The main reason for the improved performance of this alloy following heat treatment is the passivation spheroidization of the silicon phase and Orowan strengthening due to the θ′ phases. The optimal tensile strength of an Al-13Si-5Cu-2Ni alloy was obtained after solid solution treatment at 510 °C for 8 h followed by an aging treatment at 165 °C for 8 h. Therefore, this work has great significance for promoting the application of Al alloys at high temperatures.

Effect of solid solution under high pressure on the microstructures and mechanical properties of AM60B alloy has been investigated. The results show that solid solution under high pressure leads to refined crystal grains of α-Mg phase in the alloys after aging treatment. When the solid solution pressure is about 4GPa, the smallest grain size can be obtained, which is only 8.4% of the grain size when the solid solution is carried out under ambient pressure. Moreover, hardness and compressive strength of AM60B after aging treatment both increase remarkably when the solid solution is performed under high pressure. The superior compressive strength and plasticity can be achieved at 5GPa.
