Various reactions and the in-situ formation of new phases can occur during the mechanical alloying process. In the present study, Al powders were strengthened by AlN, using the in-situ processing technique during mechanical alloying. Differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction studies were carried out in order to examine the formation behavior of AlN. It was found that the precursors of AlN were formed in the Al powders and transformed to AlN at temperatures above 600oC. The hot extrusion process was utilized to consolidate the composite powders. The composite powders were canned in an Al can and then extruded at elevated temperatures. The microstructure of the extrusions was examined by SEM and TEM. In order to investigate the mechanical properties of the extrusions, compression tests and hardness measurements were carried out. It was found that the mechanical properties and the thermal stability of the Al/AlN composites were significantly greater than those of conventional Al matrix composites.

The development of thermomechanical models of Pb-free solders is more complex than for Pb-Sn solders as a result of their higher reactivity and processing temperature that leads to the continuous evolution of stiff and angular intermetallics in the microstructure. In this paper, nanoindentation has been explored for its potential to characterize mechanically the complex microstructure of Pb-free solder joints. Hardness and Young's modulus of the various microphases in a Sn-Ag-Cu/Cu solder joint were characterized at 25°C and averages were obtained from nanoindentation maps composed of 100–200 indentations. The possibility to map mechanical property gradients across the various solder joint interfaces and to differentiate between different presentations of the same phase, including in situ at elevated temperatures, has been suggested to be useful in extending the available data for constitutive models used in reliability simulations of Pb-free solders.

AbstractThe quasibinary NiAI-Mo system exhibits a large two-phase field between NiAl and the terminal (Mo) solid solution, and offers the potential for producing in-situ eutectic composites for high-temperature structural applications. The phase stability of this composite system was experimentally evaluated, following long-term exposures at elevated temperatures. Bend strengths as a function of temperature and room-temperature fracture toughness data are presented for selected NiA1-Mo alloys, together with results from fractography observations.

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) has been observed to achieve greater cemented strength when cured in situ compared with equivalent mixes cured and tested in a laboratory environment. This is in part due to the development of effective stress and generation of elevated temperatures by exothermic cement hydration reactions occurring during curing in a typical underground stope environment. This differs from curing in typical laboratory environments, where little or no effective stresses are generated and curing occurs under constant-temperature conditions. This paper outlines the development, calibration, and testing of a temperature-controlled hydration cell that provides closer representation of in situ conditions by controlling the rate and final amount of specimen temperature increase, in addition to curing under effective stress. The temperature-controlled hydration cell was used to examine the effect of curing under combined effective stress and temperature conditions on the development of small-strain stiffness over a 7 day curing period and the unconfined compressive strength at the end of this period. Curing with both elevated temperature and effective stress was found to significantly increase the mechanical properties of CPB compared with curing at elevated effective stress or ambient temperatures alone.

Interaction of iron and boron at elevated temperatures results in the formation of an E (Fe + Fe2B) eutectic phase that plays a great role in enhancing mass transport phenomena during thermal annealing and therefore in the densification of sintered compacts. When cooled down, this phase solidifies as interconnected hard and brittle material consisting of a continuous network of Fe2B borides formed at the grain boundaries. To increase ductile behaviour, a change in precipitates’ stoichiometry was investigated by partially replacing iron borides by titanium borides. The powder of elemental titanium was introduced to blend of iron and boron powders in order to induce TiB2 in situ formation. Titanium addition influence on microstructure, phase composition, density and mechanical properties was investigated. The observations were supported with thermodynamic calculations. The change in phase composition was analysed by means of dilatometry and X-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled with thermodynamic calculations.

AbstractPreviously, Cr-Cr3Si in-situ composites produced by arc-melting were shown to have good strengths at high temperatures1. For example, samples of a 25% Cr and 75% Cr3Si composite achieved bend strengths of 135 MPa at 1200°C. However, there is potential for even higher strengths at high temperatures and a need for improvement in the low temperature strength and toughness. In order to improve the properties, two approaches were taken. The first used powder metallurgy to develop a better microstructure than in the cast alloys, to try to improve both strength and toughness. The second approach was to incorporate erbia into the composites, to improve the strength and stability of the microstructure at elevated temperatures.High density samples of hot pressed Cr-15.5Si and Cr-18.6Si have been produced by mixing Cr and Gr3Si powders and hot pressing in a graphite die. Erbia powders have been incorporated into some compacts for comparison.Micros true tures have been characterized and mechanical properties determined. Both the hot pressing and the erbia affected the properties. In addition the erbia had a significant effect on consolidation of the samples.

All welded parts undergo aging once operated at elevated temperatures. Exposures of structures on elevated temperatures adversely affect the material performance and deteriorate the structure’s toughness. The welded part also develops the high risk of brittle fracture. In order to establish the fracture toughness, it is not always possible to remove the specimen from the service. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an In-situ Non-destructive testing (NDT) based on Ultrasonic Testing (UT) method along with advanced signal processing techniques. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is an extensively used Non-destructive testing technique that offers improved damage detection capability. The objective of the study is to found a quantitative relation between UT and mechanical properties of welded joint heat treated specimens. The data was acquired from the testing of weld specimens at different levels of temperatures through UT testing. There is a trend observed between the variation in the UT signal’s characteristics i.e. attenuation and the variation in the mechanical properties. The likely categorization of UT signal in terms of different thermal aging levels has also been explored using Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) on acquired UT signals. The experimental relationships will enable welded specimen toughness prediction solely through in-situ UT testing while the specimen will remain in service.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.
