Triggering transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) and twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) mechanisms in metastable β titanium alloys (bcc, body centered cubic) have helped reaching unprecedented mechanical properties for Ti-alloys, including high ductility and work-hardening. Yet the yield strength of such alloys generally remains rather low. So far, mostly single-phase metastable bcc alloys have been developed. In this study, a dual phase TRIP/TWIP alloy is designed and investigated. While the β-matrix is expected to display TRIP/TWIP deformation mechanisms, the addition of a second phase, α in the present study, aims at increasing the yield strength. The composition was designed in the Ti-Cr-Sn system, based on Calphad prediction and on the semi-empirical d-electron alloy design approach. Results were compared to the published full β Ti – 8.5Cr – 1.5Sn (wt%) TRIP/TWIP alloy. The dual-phase alloy was prepared and processed to reach the desired microstructure containing about 20% α. It displays remarkable mechanical properties such as a ductility of 29%, an ultimate tensile strength of 1200 MPa and a yield strength of 760 MPa, 200MPa higher than the Reference single-phase β alloy. Analysis of the mechanical properties and deformation microstructures confirm the TRIP and TWIP effects, validating the proposed approach.

The pipeline steel with excellent deformability with ferrite and bainite dual-phase microstructure are obtained by inter-critically accelerating cooling method, aiming to get good deformation capability of avoiding failure from the geological disasters such as landslides and earthquake. The influence of volume fraction of bainite on the mechanical properties of dual-phase pipeline steels was investigated by means of microscopic analysis method and mechanical properties testing. The results indicated that both yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the steels increase almost linearly with the increasing volume fraction of bainite, while ductility, work hardening exponent and impact absorption energy decrease. When the volume fraction of bainite is about 50%, the yield strength, the yield strength/tensile strength ratio (Y/T), work hardening exponent, uniform elongation and impact absorption energy of X80 pipeline steels with excellent deformability is 665MPa, 0.8, 0.12, 8% and 245J respectively.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of cast and cold-rolled equitomic CoCrFeCuNi alloy in which Mn was substituted by Cu from Cantor alloy was studied. The separation into two solid solutions (Cr-Co-Fe rich and Cu-rich phases) were observed in CoCrFeCuNi. Coarsening and widening of interdendritic Cu-rich phase after homogenization was observed after homogenization, suggesting Cu-rich phase is thermodynamically stable. The compressive stress-strain curves of homogenized cast CoCrFeCuNi alloy exhibited the reasonably high strength and excellent deformability for the cast alloy. The yield strength increased up to 960MPa after cold rolling from 265MPa of the homogenized cast alloy. The significant increase of yield strength is thought to be associated with the alignment of Cu-rich second phase in addition to cold work dislocation storage after cold rolling.

AbstractHigh temperature mechanical properties of various Zr and Cr strengthened single phase Ni3Al are investigated, with emphasis on the ability of each element to elevate Tp, the temperature corresponding to the peak yield strength. It is observed that Zr is a very effective strengthener, more so below Tp than above it, while a combination of Cr and Zr is capable of shifting Tp to a higher temperature. The combination results in an effective improvement of the rupture strength of Ni3Al. The strengthening mechanisms of each element will be discussed in this paper.

Abstract In this study, the effect of different boriding parameters on the some mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of AISI H11 steel, which is extensively used in hot and cold processing applications, was investigated. The grown boride layers were compact and crack-free for all boriding conditions and they were detected as single phase (Fe2B) at 800°C and dual phase (FeB+Fe2B) at 900 and 1000°C. Depending on the treatment condition, the thickness, surface hardness and Ra values of the coatings were ranged between 10.25-94.5 µm, 1704-2015 HV, and 0.285-0.650 µm, respectively. The corrosion resistance was observed to be related to the phase structure, coating thickness, surface roughness and the density of the boride layers. There found to be an increase in the corrosion resistance up to almost 65 times after the boriding process, due to the barrier effect of the grown boride layers (such as B2O3).

Recently, due to the requirements of lightweight and safety, the grade of 980MPa high-strength steel has the demand of high hole expansibility and high yield strength. Due to the large difference of hardness between the soft ferrite and hard martensite, the traditional DP980Y dual phase steel has poor hole expansibility. In order to improve the hole expansibility of DP980Y dual phase steel, the best way is to modify the microstructure into a single-phase to eliminate the large difference of hardness. In this paper, the steel of nearly full bainite microstructure with small amount of ferrite and M/A constituents was studied. Compared to the DP980Y dual phase steel, it was found that this modified steel with a single-phase microstructure has the same grade of 980MPa of tensile strength, but can achieve the demand of higher yield strength and hole-expansion ratio. This study shows reducing the amount of ferrite can increase the homogeneity of matrix with the single phase to improve the hole expansibility. In addition, the use of lower bainite transformation temperature and lower carbon content has the higher hole-expansion ratio due to the less amount of M/A constituents.

AbstractSince the L12 structured Al3Ti alloy exists only in a narrow compositional range, further alloying of the single phase Ll2 alloy to improve its property seems hardly successful. Developing two-phase or multiphase Al3Ti alloys may be an effective approach for strengthening and toughening. In this article, a new type of Al3Ti-based alloy which has a Ll2 matrix with precipitates of a second phase is reported. The quaternary alloys based on Al67Mn8Ti25, and modified with Nb additions, consist of an Ll2 matrix and DO22 second phase particles in the annealed state, but the second phase can be dissolved by solution treatment and precipitated during high temperature aging. Remarkable strenghtening and promising compressive ductility were exhibited by the experimental alloy. The influence of composition on the microstructure and properties of the alloys are reported also.

The effect of reduction on the microstructure refinement and mechanical properties of the as-hot rolled dual-phase Nb-bearing steel were studied at laboratory. It is found that the dual-phase steel displays clearly classic dual phase morphology which is ferrite and martensite or bainsite, and the fine island or lath martinsite is dispersed on the matrix of ferrite by the observation of microstructure. The grain can be refined, and the increased precipitated second particles are fined and dispersed with the increasing of reduction. The mechanical properties determination result shows that the mechanical properties have greatly improved by large reduction. The tensile strength obtained in the laboratory is up to 680MPa, the ratio of yield strength and tensile strength is low, and the elongation is better.

The thermomechanical control processing (TMCP) was conducted through the adjustment of the rolling technological parameters to the test steel. The influence of the finishing temperature, cooling rate and alloying elements to the microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by comprehensive utilization of grain refining strengthening and second phase strengthening.The results show that the microstructure was mainly composed of bainite, ferrite and second phase TiC; at the finishing temperature of 870°C, the yield strength was 596.7 MPa, the tensile strength reached 748.5 MPa, the elongation ratio was 20.17%; at high cooling rate of 16°C/s, the yield strength achieved 616.7 MPa, the tensile strength reached 785.5 MPa, the tensile ratio reduced for 0.78, and the elongation ratio enhanced to 20.92%. And the quantity of bainite increased with the raise of finishing temperature from 800°C to 870°C, which improved the hardness and wear resistance of the steel.

The high temperature mechanical properties of dual phase heavy metal of 95W-3.5Ni-1.5Fe alloy were investigated in tension. The specimens were prepared by liquid phase sintering. Yield strength decreased and ductility increased as the testing temperature was increased to 300°C, reached a plateau at between 300 and 500°C and then decreased considerably. The fracture modes of alloys when deformed at room temperature were a mixture of intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage. As the temperature was increased, the percentage of intergranular cleavage increased, although transgranular fracture also remained. At higher temperatures, substantial reduction in ductility and in yield strength was a result of loss of bonding strength between tungsten grains and matrix phase.

In this paper, a typical new zirconium alloy (Zr-Sn-Nb system) was used as the research object. The zirconium alloy strip was prepared from a series of production processes from smelting. By optimizing the process of cold processing with the change of the deformation amount and the intermediate heat treatment, the mechanical properties of the zirconium alloy were studied by different processing. The results are as follows: (1) The mechanical properties of the new zirconium alloy have reached the mechanical properties of Zirlo alloy with the optimization of the alloy composition, and (2) The zirconium alloy can refine the grain strength by the control of deformation degree and annealing temperature during cold deformation. The larger of the cold deformation, the smaller the average of the grains and the higher the yield strength of the material. The yield strength of the material was decreased by cold rolling and annealing more than once; (3) The larger the cold rolling variable of the zirconium alloy in cold deformation, it is beneficial to the second phase to be fine, dispersed and uniformly distributed, thus improving the strength of the material.
