Grain Boundary Character

The effects of grain boundary serration on grain coarsening and liquation behavior in simulated weld heat-affected-zone (HAZ) of a wrought Ni-based superalloy Alloy 263 have been investigated. Recently, the present authors have found that grain boundary serration occurs in the absence of adjacent coarse γ' particles or M23C6 carbides when a specimen is direct-aged with a combination of slow cooling from solution treatment temperature to aging temperature. This serration leads to a change in grain boundary character as special boundary based on the crystallographic analysis demonstrating that the grain boundaries tend to serrate to have specific segments approaching to one {111} low-index plane at a boundary. The present study was initiated to investigate the interdependence of the serration and HAZ property with a consideration of this serration as a potential for the use of a damage-tolerant microstructure. It was found that the serrated grain boundaries suppress effectively grain coarsening, and are highly resistant to liquation cracking in HAZ due to their lower tendency to be wetted and penetrated by the liquid phase. These results reflect closely a significant decrease in interfacial energy as well as grain boundary configuration by the serration.

Electrochemical Corrosion Resistance

In this experiment, Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy was used as material and solution temperature was used as variable to investigate its effect on the corrosion properties of the alloy and Hardness test, metallographic observation, electrochemical test, intergranular corrosion and exfoliation corrosion test were carried out on three groups of samples. The results show that the intergranular corrosion resistance of the alloy decreases with the increase of solution treatment temperature, and the sample treated at 505 °C has the best performance. This is mainly because grain boundary structure plays a role in increasing PFZ and expanding corrosion channels. The exfoliation corrosion resistance of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy increases first and then decreases, and the sample treated at 515 °C has the best performance. This is due to the dual effects of grain boundary structure and grain morphology. On the one hand, the solution treatment temperature increases, which widens the precipitation-free zone and reduces the electrochemical corrosion resistance of the alloy. On the other hand, the increase of recrystallized grains decreases the cohesion of corrosion products and enhances the electrochemical corrosion resistance of the alloy.

Nickel Based Superalloy

The formation of serrated grain boundaries and its subsequent effect on creep resistance have been investigated in a wrought nickel based superalloy Nimonic 263. The grain boundaries were considerably serrated without the presence of γ' phases or M23C6 when a specimen was slow-cooled from the solution treatment temperature. The high resolution observation on the lattice image of the serrated grain boundary suggested that the grain boundaries tended to serrate to have specific segments approaching to one {111} low-index plane at a boundary in order to have lower interfacial free energy of grain boundary. The grain boundary serration led to a change in M23C6 carbide characteristics: the carbide morphology from granular to planar, a lowered density and their coherency pattern to two neighboring grains from consistent to zigzag. The improvement of creep resistance was noticeably observed by the introduction of GB serration without deterioration of basic mechanical properties. This improvement in creep resistance by the serration was associated with a lower rate of cavitation and crack propagation through the modification of carbide characteristics as well as grain boundary configuration.

Abstract This paper studies the effect of solution temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TB10 titanium alloy bars. The results show that the microstructure is composed of β phase and primary α phase (αp) when solution treatment is below the phase transition temperature. With the increase of the solution temperature, the β phase grain size in the microstructure increases, the thickness of the grain boundary decreases, and the number and size of the αp phase decrease, so that the strength of the alloy decreases and the plasticity increases. When the solution treatment temperature is 800°C, the reticulated grain boundary αp phase causes the plasticity to drop rapidly. When the solution treatment temperature is above the phase transition point, as the solution temperature rises, the β phase re-nucleates and grows, the grain size increases, the number of αp phase decreases. The super-cooled β phase grains induce martensite phenomenon due to stress, which eventually causes the strength and plasticity to decrease.

Microstructural changes occurring in biomedical Co-Cr-Mo alloys with three carbon levels due to solution treatment and aging were investigated. Ingots of Co-Cr-Mo alloys with three different carbon levels were prepared by vacuum furnace melting; their chemical composition was Co-28Cr-6Mo-xC (x = 0.12, 0.25 and 0.35 mass%). Precipitates were electrolytically extracted from as-cast and heat-treated alloys. An M23C6 type carbide and a phase were detected as precipitates in as-cast Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.12C alloy, and an M23C6 type carbide and an  phase (M6C-M12C type carbide) were detected in as-cast Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.25C and Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.35C alloys. Only the M23C6 type carbide was detected during solution treatment. Complete precipitate dissolution occurred in all the three alloys after solution treatment. The holding time required for complete precipitate dissolution increased with increasing carbon content and decreasing solution treatment temperature. Complete precipitate dissolution occurred in the Co-Cr-Mo-C alloys solution treated at 1523 K for 43.2 ks; they were then subjected to aging from 873 to 1473 K for a heating time up to 44.1 ks after complete precipitate dissolution in solution treatment at 1523 K for 43.2 ks. The M23C6 type carbide with a grain size of 0.1–3 m was observed after aging. A time-temperature-precipitation diagram of the M23C6 type carbide formed in the Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.25C alloy was plotted.

The effects of dissolution of the η′ phase by solution treatment on the mechanical properties of A7075-T6 alloy were investigated. Immediately after solution treatment of the T6 sheet at 450 oC or higher, elongation significantly increased and dissolution of the η′ phase occurred. η′ is the main hardening phase. After natural-aging, GPI, which is coherent with the aluminum matrix, was formed and strength increased. When bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength slightly increased due to partial dissolution of the GPI and re-precipitation of the η′ phase. In contrast, after solution treatment at 400 oC, there was less elongation increase due to the precipitation of the coarse η phase at grain boundaries and low dissolution of the η′ phase. In addition, when bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength decreased due to insufficient GPI, which is the nucleation site of the η′ phase. To promote reprecipitation of the η′ phase, the solution treatment temperature was set to a level that would increase solubility. As a result, the yield strength was significantly increased through re-precipitation of a large number of fine and uniform η′ phase. In addition, to increase the effect of dissolution, a pre-aging treatment was introduced and the bake hardenability can be improved after dissolution.
