A semi-solid microstructure of Mg–10Zn–6.8Gd–4Y alloys is acquired via an isothermal heat treatment process, and the effects of the holding time on the microstructure evolution of Mg–10Zn–6.8Gd–4Y alloys are investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the cast alloy is composed of primary α-Mg dendritic grains with a eutectic structure (W-phase and eutectic Mg) distributed at the grain boundaries. The primary α-Mg dendritic grains grow in size with increasing holding time, and they tend to grow into more globular structures in the initial stage; they then become a bit more dendritic, as small branches grow from the grain boundaries after holding the sample at 580 °C for 10 min. Meanwhile, the interdiffusion of magnesium atoms within the eutectic region, and between the primary α-Mg and eutectic structure, leads to the formation of fine and relatively globular eutectic Mg grains in the eutectic structure after holding for 10 min. The eutectic Mg grains begin to grow, coarsen, coalesce, or be swallowed by the surrounding primary grains, causing fluctuations of the general grain size. Over the whole isothermal heat treatment process, two mechanisms—coalescence and Ostwald ripening—dominate the grain coarsening.

Effects of SiC particle and holding time on microstructure evolution of SiCP/AZ61 composites during semi-solid isothermal heat treatment method were studied, and evolution mechanism of semi-solid microstructure of composites was discussed. The results indicated that the process of microstructure evolution of SiCP/AZ61 composites by the isothermal holding at the temperatures of 595°C for different times (0min~90min) experienced in succession the rapid merging of the secondary dendritic arms →large massive structure→melting and separating of the local grain boundary →spheroidization of the gains →slowing growth of globular microstructure. Synthetically, after isothermal holding at 595°C for 30min to 60min the favorable semi-solid microstructure can be obtained; Compared with the monolithic AZ61alloy, microstructure of SiCP/AZ61 composites during semi-solid isothermal heat-treatment was finer as a result of entering of Sic particle, and with the increasing of SiC particle volume fraction, globular gain size was smaller.

The heat treatment process of a kind of hypereutectic aluminum silicon alloy which is suitable for semi-solid forming and the change of microstructure and performance during the process of heat treatment had been studied in this paper. In order to guide the heat treatment process, the phase diagram of the alloy had been calculated by the software of Thermo-Calc, and the theoretical solid and liquid line had been gotten. Twelve kinds of heat treatment process had been selected in this study. Finally the best process which the solution temperature is 495°C for 2h and aging temperature is 160°C for 8h had been gotten.

This study is conducted to analyze the effect on the Hardness and Micro Structural Behaviour of three Sample Grades of Tool Steel i.e. EN-31, EN-8, and D3 after Heat Treatment Processes Such As Annealing, Normalizing, and Hardening and Tempering. The purpose of Selecting Tool Steel is Because Tool Steel is Mostly Used in the Manufacturing Industry.This study is based upon the empirical study which means it is derived from experiment and observation rather than theory.
