AlMgB14–TiB2 composites with ideal structures are successfully prepared by field activated and pressure assisted synthesis. The effects of different TiB2 contents on the relative hardness and toughness of the composites were investigated. The results showed adding TiB2 could both increase the hardness of AlMgB14 and improve the fracture toughness. The TiB2 contributed more to the hardness than to the toughness. The microstructure analysis shows that the main toughening mechanisms of AlMgB14–TiB2 composites are hard phase dispersion strengthening, high-strength interface bonding and the high elastic modulus of TiB2. Therefore, reducing the particle size of TiB2 to nanoscale is an efficient way to improve the toughness and hardness. The results of friction and wear experiment at room temperature have shown that the addition of TiB2 into AlMgB14 enhances the abrasion–resistant property.

An effect of tempforming on the microstructure, the carbide precipitation, and the strengthening mechanisms of high-strength low-alloyed steel has been analyzed. The quenched steel was subjected to 1 h tempering at a temperature of 873 K, 923 K, or 973 K followed by plate rolling at the same temperature. Tempforming resulted in the formation of an ultrafine grained lamellar-type microstructure with finely dispersed carbides of (Nb,V)C, Fe3C and Cr23C6. A decrease in tempforming temperature resulted in a reduction of the transverse grain size from 950 nm to 350 nm. Correspondingly, the size of Fe3C/Cr23C6 particles decreased from 90 nm to 40 nm while the size of (Nb,V)C particles decreased from 17 nm to 4 nm. Refining the tempformed microstructure with a decrease in thetempforming temperature provided an increase in the yield strength from 690 MPa to 1230 MPa.

In the present study, in situ reaction technique has been employed to prepare AA5052 matrix composites reinforced with different vol. % of ZrB2 particles (i.e., 0, 4.5, and 9 vol. %). Composites have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to confirm the in situ formation of ZrB2 particles in the matrix. Optical Microscopy (OM) studies reveal the refinement of aluminum-rich phase due to the presence of ZrB2 particles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies reveal size and distribution of ZrB2 particles while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals the presence of dislocations in the matrix around ZrB2 particles. Hardness and tensile testing of composites have been carried out at room temperature to evaluate the mechanical properties. The results reveal the improvement in hardness and strength with increased amount of ZrB2 particles. Strength of AA5052/ZrB2 in situ composites has been analyzed by various strengthening mechanism models. The analysis revealed that Orowan and Solid solution strengthening mechanisms are the predominant mechanism for high strength composites. Theoretical yield strength is about 6–10% higher than the experimental values due to clustering tendency of ZrB2 particles.
