GH3535 supperalloy, whose grade of ASME is UNS N10003, is currently considered as a candidate material for solid-fuel and fluid-fuel molten salt reactor in china. During the development of procedures for welding GH3535 superalloy, consideration should always be given to the possibility that repair welding may be necessary. This paper presents weld repairs of GH3535 alloy rolled plates using gas tungsten arc welding with filler metal. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the low heat input process for weld repair of GH3535 alloy plates about the microstructure features and mechanical properties. The results demonstrated that sound joints without defects could be obtained after weld repairs. Due to repair thermal cycles on the original weld seam, the size of carbide precipitate became large, but repair welding is found to cause no decrease in short-term time-independent strength.

The microstructures, phase constitutions and mechanical properties of as-cast samples, extruded rods and plates of Mg-3.52Sn-3.32Al and Mg-6.54Sn-4.78Al alloys were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and mechanical testing. The results show that as-cast microstructure consists of α-Mg matrix, Mg2Sn and a few dispersed β-Mg17Al12 phases. The two as-cast alloys exhibit good tensile mechanical properties. After hot extrusion, dynamic recrystallization occurs. Average grain size reaches 6 μm ~ 8 μm for rods, and a lot of fine micro-scaled particles exist, resulting in significant enhancement of tensile mechanical properties. The extruded Mg-3.52Sn-3.32Al rod exhibits better comprehensive tensile mechanical property than AZ31B alloy, with tensile strength σb of 295 MPa, yield strength of 200 MPa and elongation of 21.5% at ambient temperature. The extruded Mg-6.54Sn-4.78Al rod exhibits equivalent comprehensive tensile mechanical properties with ZK60 alloy, achieving tensile strength of 355 MPa, yield strength of 275 MPa and elongation of 11% at ambient temperature. The extruded plates at ambient temperature performed a tensile strength of 270 MPa.

Abstract In this study, hydroxyapatite-reinforced ZK60 Mg alloybased composites were fabricated via a powder metallurgy route. The mechanical properties of these composites were studied by compressive tests and hardness tests. The in-vitro corrosion behavior was also investigated using immersion testing and electrochemical measurement. The influence of hydroxyapatite content on the mechanical properties and invitro corrosion behavior was evaluated. The microstructure and corrosion morphology were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the composite materials with 10 wt.% hydroxyapatite exhibited a better combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Compared with ZK60 alloy, the addition of 10 wt.% hydroxyapatite resulted in an increase in corrosion resistance by 38.6%.
