Titanium is considered to be a ubiquitous element since it has the 9th-highest Clarke number of all elements. Iron and manganese can also be used as beta stabilizers for Ti alloys, and can be considered to be ubiquitous because of their 4th- and 11th-highest Clarke numbers, respectively. However, investigations into the behavior of Ti-Mn-Fe alloys during heat treatment have shown that in some alloys, the isothermal omega phase is precipitated. Because this phase can lead to brittleness, it is very important to prevent it from forming. It is well known that aluminum can suppress the precipitation of the isothermal omega phase. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the effect of Al content on the phase constitution and heat-treatment behavior of Ti-8.5mass%Mn-1mass%Fe-0 to 4.5mass%Al alloys using electrical resistivity, Vickers hardness, and X-ray diffraction measurements. In all solution-treated and quenched alloys, only the beta phase was identified, thus confirming the suppression of omega-phase precipitation. The resistivity was found to increase monotonically with Al content, while the Vickers hardness decreased up to 3 mass% Al and then remained constant.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an alternative method to join aluminum (Al) alloys in a solid-state condition. However, the coarsening or dissolution of precipitation hardening phases in the welding zone causes strength reduction or softening behavior in the welded area of age-hardened Al alloys. Therefore, this research aimed to improve the mechanical properties of an FSW Al–Mg–Si alloy via post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and the possibility of controlling the abnormal grain growth (AGG) using different welding parameters. FSW was performed with different rotational and travel speeds, and T6 heat treatment was carried out on the FSW samples as the PWHT. The results showed a decrease in the strength of the FSW samples compared with that of the base material (BM) due to the dissolution of precipitation hardening particles in the heat-affected zone. However, the emergence of AGG in the microstructure after the T6-PWHT was identified as the potential event in the microstructure of the PWHT samples. It is found that the AGG of the microstructure in similar joints of Al6061(T6) was governed by the welding parameters. The results proved that PWHT was able to increase the tensile properties of the welded samples to values comparable to that of Al6061(T6)-BM. The increased mechanical properties of the FSW joints were attributed to a proper PWHT that resulted in a homogeneous distribution of the precipitation hardening phases in the welding zones.

The synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe, Fe–4 wt% Al, and Fe–10 wt% Al solid solutions by SPEX ball milling has been studied. The microstructural evolution during ball milling, as well as subsequent heat treatment, has been characterized. The results demonstrate that ball milling promotes the formation of αFe–4 wt% Al and αFe–10 wt% Al solid solutions by reducing the activation energy of these alloys and generating thermal energy during this process. For Fe–10 wt% Al powders milled for various time intervals up to approximately 20 min, the FeAl intermetallic compound is formed. For alloys annealed at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 °C, the addition of 10 wt% Al to Fe significantly enhances the thermal stability of the nanocrystalline Fe–Al alloys. Interestingly, the addition of Al within the range of 4–10 wt% seems to have little effect on the thermal stability of these alloys annealed under the same conditions. Also, the thermal stability improves for alloys milled in air as opposed to those processed using Ar.

ABSTRACTPowders of Al alloy 7091 have been consolidated by means of dynamic compaction. The dependence of density and hardness on projectile velocity has been determined. The resulting as-compacted material has been characterized using analytical transmission electron microscopy and evidence of interparticle melting observed. The microstructural responseof the compacted material to heat treatment at 523 and 723°K has been investigated.

Abstract The anodic polarization characteristics in 1N H2SO4 (25 C) of Fe-8 Wt% Si, Fe-8Al and Fe-5Si-3Al alloys fabricated by conventional processing (ingot metallurgy) and of Fe-8Al fabricated by powder metallurgy were determined. With the exception of the Fe-8Si, the alloys undergo an active-to-passive transition. The passivation behavior is controlled by the aluminum content of the alloys, the aluminum decreasing the passivation potential. Although the appearance of the corrosion attack is different, the anodic polarization characteristics of the Fe-8Al alloy are essentially independent of the method of fabrication (i.e., ingot metallurgy vs powder metallurgy).
