This work is to study the influence of heat treatment on microstrudture and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy prepared by solid -state recycling. AZ31B magnesium alloy chips were recycled by hot extruding. Three different heat treatments were conducted for recycled alloy. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the recycled specimen and heat treated specimen were investigated. 300°C×2h annealing specimen exhibits finer grain due to static recrystallization, and microstructure of 400°C×2h annealing specimen becomes more coarse. 300°C×2h annealing treatment improves obviously strength and ductility of recycled alloy. Ultimate tensile strength of alloy decreases and elongation to failure increases after 400°C×2h annealing. Grain size, dislocation density and bonding of chips have an effect on the elongation of recycled materials. 190°C×8h ageing has no influence on microstructure and mechanical properties of recycled alloy.

Two γ-based TiAl alloys with 7 at.% of Nb, alloyed with 2 at.% Mo and 0.5 at.% C, were studied. A heat treatment leading to very fine lamellar microstructure was applied on both alloys. Microstructure after the heat treatment was described and mechanical properties including fatigue behaviour were measured. The as-received material alloyed with C possesses high strength and very limited ductility, especially at RT. After application of selected heat treatment it becomes even more brittle; therefore, this process could be considered as not appropriate for this alloy. On the contrary, in the case of Mo alloyed material, both strength and ductility are improved by the heat treatment at RT and usual working temperature (~750 °C). Presence of the β phase is responsible for this effect. The selected heat treatment thus can be an alternative for this alloy to other thermomechanical treatments as high temperature forging.

Al–Si–Mg based alloys can provide high strength and ductility to satisfy the increasing demands of thin wall castings for automotive applications. This study has investigated the effects of T6 heat-treatment on the microstructures, the local mechanical properties of alloy phases and the fracture behavior of high vacuum die-cast AlSiMgMn alloys using in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in combination with nano-indentation testing. The microstructures of the alloys at as-cast and T6 treated conditions were compared and analyzed. It is found that the T6 heat treatment plays different roles in affecting the hardness and the Young’s modulus of alloy phases. This study also found that the T6 heat treatment would influence the failure modes of the alloys. The mechanisms of crack propagation in the as-cast and T6 treated alloys were also analyzed and discussed.

Thermally hardened alloys based on iron (50 Cr – V – N type steel), titanium (VT-14), and aluminum (D16) were subjected to deformation by gas extrusion with local heating in the mode of deformation-thermal hardening with high degrees of deformation 90 % or more to obtain a thin wire at the output. Gas extrusion was performed at various combinations of processing parameters — gas pressure, deformation temperature, extrusion speed. The wire deformed under various combinations of processing parameters was cooled in air, subjected to tempering or aging and a tear test. The mechanical properties obtained as a result of the tests were compared with the data on the mechanical properties of the initial, undeformed alloys, heat-treated and non-heat-treated. On all gas-extruded alloys, the mechanical properties exceeded the initial ones both in strength and plasticity. The combination of gas extrusion parameters (gas pressure, deformation temperature, extrusion speed) has a decisive influence on the combination of strength and ductility of alloys treated by gas extrusion.

The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and properties of Q345R/304 clad plate was studied. The microstructure of the base layer was analyzed by metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope, and mechanical properties such as tensile, shear and impact were investigated after heat treatment. The chromium content in the compound interface was analyzed after heat treatment through spectrum analysis technology. The results show that heat treatment affects the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of stainless clad plate significantly. After air cooling, the microstructure of the base layer consi+sts of ferrite and pearlite, the strength of clad plate is low, and the corrosion resistance is poor. After oil cooling to 450°Cand air cooling, the microstructure of the base layer consists of bainite, ferrite and a small amount of pearlite. The strength and plasticity of clad plate can meet the application requirements and the corrosion resistance is excellent as well.

The effect of the combined action of hot work and heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Mg-2Gd-Nd-0.4Zn-0.3Zr (wt. %) (E21) alloy was investigated. Results showed that the solution treatment time of the ingot played a great effect on the mechanical properties of the extruded alloy. With solution treating time of the ingot increasing, the tensile strength of the extruded alloy decreased gradually, but the elongation increased greatly. The best combination of strength and ductility was achieved for the extruded alloy after the ingot solution treated at 520°C for 3 h, extrusion at 400°C and aging at 200°C for 16 h, namely ultimate tensile strength = 331MPa and elongation = 7.1%.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) on the microstructure and mechanical behaviour of low alloy steel. Hot forging is carried out at 1200°C using mechanical press of 500 and 800 ton. The effect of hot forging reduction ratios (1.11 and 1.29) on the hardness and mechanical properties are studied. TMT samples are given different heat treatment i.e. annealing (A), normalizing (N), hardening (H), hardening and tempering (H/T) and their corresponding impact toughness are obtained. Selected heat treatment (normalizing and annealing) are given to tensile test samples and their corresponding strength and ductility are obtained. Ultimate tensile, 0.2% offset yield strength and percent elongation are measured. Hardness and impact toughness measurements were carried out for all alloy conditions. Hardness (HV), ultimate tensile stress (UTS-MPa) and 0.2% offset yield stress (MPa) increases with increasing reduction ratio. TMT leads to a sharp rise in alloy hardness and strength. Normalizing and annealing following TMT revealed a low hardness values compared to those observed in the TMT condition. Annealing reduces hardness and strength but increases ductility and impact toughness. This could be attributed to the recovery and coarsening effect. Pro-eutectoid ferrite phase are observed along the grain boundaries of low alloy steel in the TMT conditions regardless of the reduction ratios. Normalized samples show a refined pearlitic microstructure while coarse pearlite is observed in the annealed one. Good mechanical properties can be obtained by a combination of plastic deformation and thermal treatment. Heat treatment is one of the major factors used to enhance the mechanical properties of low alloy steel. An understanding of the combined effect of TMT and subsequent heat treatment on the structure and mechanical properties of low alloy steel would help in selecting conditions required to achieve the optimum mechanical properties and alloy high strength to weight ratio. This may be achieved by measuring hardness, impact toughness, strength and ductility resulting from different heat treatment following TMT.

Heat-treatment, such as annealing, can reduce these effects of hydrogen embrittlement. The electroformed metal can also be converted to alloy steel by carburizing; and by other heat-treatments, such as hardening and tempering, a range of mechanical properties for the foil can be achieved.


This work is a part of research on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr-Mn-Si steels after various thermal treatments. In order to increase the resistance of the materials against failure it is necessary to possess simultaneously high strength and plasticity at the same time. Normally, in conventional metals, this is impossible. The purpose of the present study is to trace the polymorphic transformation of the microstructure and the redistribution of the trace elements in the corresponding microstructural transformations of the steel at each stage of applied heat treatment - austenization, quenching, austempering, tempering. The chosen sequence of applied heat treatments is to obtain a bainite structure of up to 50% in order to achieve high strength and toughness of the material.

AbstractThe current research of the Q-P and Q-P-T process has been focused on controlling the heating temperature and holding time, or adding alloy elements into the steel to induce precipitation strengthening and improve the strength and plasticity of the steel. In this article, based on a quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) process combined with a hot deformation technology, a deforming-quenching-partitioning-tempering (D-Q-P-T) process was applied to medium carbon steel. The effect of the heat treatment parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of experimental steel under deformation was studied. Through use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile tests, the optimal heat treatment conditions for realizing high strength and plasticity that meet the safety requirements were obtained. The mechanism for the D-Q-P-T process to improve the strength and plasticity of experimental steel was discussed. A multiphase composite structure of lath martensite and retained austenite was obtained. Compared with the Q-P-T process, use of the D-Q-P-T process can increase the strength of steel by 57.77 MPa and the elongation by 5%. This study proposes a method to improve the strength and plasticity of steel.
