The effect of arc modes on the microstructure and tensile properties of 5183 aluminium alloy fabricated by cold metal transfer (CMT) processes has been thoroughly investigated. Heat inputs of CMT processes with three arc modes, i.e., CMT, CMT advance (CMT+A), and CMT pulse (CMT+P), were quantified, and their influence on the formation of pores were investigated. The highest tensile strength was found from samples built by the CMT+A process. This agrees well with their smallest average pore sizes. Average tensile strengths of CMT+A arc mode-built samples were 296.9 MPa and 291.8 MPa along the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The difference of tensile strength along the horizontal and vertical directions of the CMT+P and CMT samples was mainly caused by the pores at the interfaces between each deposited layer. The successfully built large 5183 aluminium parts by the CMT+A arc mode further proves that this arc mode is a suitable mode for manufacturing of 5183 aluminium alloy.

In this work, an attempt has been made to improve the mechanical strength of 6063 aluminium alloy and thus its lightness via combination of severe plastic deformation (grain size refinement) and heat treatment (precipitation hardening). 6063 aluminium alloy was chosen as the best material for lightweight structures, where mass reduction is important, because of its high extrudability. Samples were hydrostatically extruded (HE) in supersaturated condition and subsequently subjected to an aging process. HE brings about significant grain size refinement well below 1 micron. The influence of aging parameters such as time and temperature on mechanical properties evolution of extruded material was determined. The microstructure of ultrafine grained (UFG) alloy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. The average grain diameter and grain boundary misorientation angles (using Kikuchi lines) were measured. Mechanical properties were examined in microhardness and tensile tests. The results have shown that it is possible to combine grain boundary and precipitation strengthening and obtain ultrahigh strength in 6xxx series alloys. Additionally, heat treatment of UFG samples causes an increase in ductility measured in tensile tests, which is rather poor in severely deformed materials. To prove advantages of UFG aged samples for lightweight applications, finite element modelling was performed to compare the mass of chair elements made of coarse and ultrafine grained material. Simulations were made for the same stresses applied. It has been shown that if the chair was made of UFG aluminium alloy the mass reduction would be approximately 30 %.

A new type of Al-Mg-Si-Cu aluminium alloy with high ductility was studied in the present work. The microstructure features and mechanical properties of this alloy were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron back-scatter Diffraction (EBSD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and tensile and fatigue test. The percentage of sub-grain boundary under forging and aging process reaches up to 72% which can be attributed to the suppression of recrystallization by the nano-sized AlMnCrSi dispersoids. The combination of mechanical properties of the new alloy product in aged state showed that the ductility keeps in the range of 15~18%, yield strength and tensile strength are 310MPa and 380MPa respectively, fatigue strength ranges from 130MPa to 135MPa. It presents more excellent properties than commercial 6061 alloy for the nano-sized AlMnCrSi dispersoids, initial-β” precipitates and high percentage of sub-grain boundary.

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.
