In this study, semi-solid Al-Mg-Si alloy (AC4C) was produced by using the Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) die casting process. The tensile strength and ductility of the semi-solid die cast Al alloy (GISS-DC) after T6 heat treatment were investigated and compared with those of the conventional liquid die casting (CLDC). The microstructures of GISS-DC and CLDC observed by an optical microscopy were presented. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (0.2% YS) of GISS-DC are compatible with those of the CLDC. However, the GISS-DC has better ductility than the CLDC, this may be due to the smaller and more globular primary α-Al phase and rounder shaped-Si particle microstructures presented in the GISS-DC. Common shrinkage pores and defects were also observed by SEM from the fracture surfaces of both alloys.

Purpose: The paper presents the results of microstructure, surface development and thickness of the oxide layer on the pure titanium Grade 2 after mechanical activation and heat treatment (550°C/5h). Design/methodology/approach: Studies show that it is possible to control the thickness of the oxide layer by using different materials to change the roughness of surface - mechanical activation before heat treatment. After mechanical activation and heat treatment, the results of the thickness of the oxide layer as well as a level of surface development were obtained, presented and discussed. Findings: The conducted research have proved that mechanical activation of the surface which cause increase of surface development results in greater thickness of oxide layer which is formed during heat treatment. Nevertheless mechanical activation that results in decrease of surface development, such as polishing, results in decrease of oxide layer thickness. Research limitations/implications: The conducted research have showed up that mechanical activation of the surface which cause increase of surface development results in greater thickness of oxide layer which is formed during heat treatment. Nevertheless, mechanical activation that results in decrease of surface development, such as polishing, results in decrease of oxide layer thickness. Practical implications: are possible using similar method for passivation titanium alloys for medical application. Originality/value: The paper presents the possibility of using mechanical preactivation of surface before heat treatment passivation.

In this paper, pure titanium rods, with high strength and ductility, were prepared by vacuum sintering titanium powder compacts at 1300oC for 2h and then hot extruding the as-sintered titanium billets at 900oC in air. The microstructure and property changes, after vacuum sintering and hot extrusion, were investigated. The results showed clear evidence of porosity in the microstructure of as-sintered titanium billet and tensile testing of as-sintered material gave yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and ductility values of 570MPa, 602MPa and 4%, respectively. After extrusion at 900oC, no obvious pores could be seen in the microstructure of as-extruded titanium rod, and the mechanical properties were significantly improved. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and the ductility reached 650MPa, 705MPa and 20%, respectively, which are much higher than values for CP titanium (grade 4), with a yield strength of 480MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 550MPa and ductility of 15%. The fracture characteristics of as-sintered and as-extruded titanium rods have also been investigated.

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%.

Titanium is seen as a good material for application in many fields due to its compatibility with different environments. However, it remains unclear whether what happens when this material is exposed to certain high temperatures for longer periods of time. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of heat on a 3 mm commercially pure titanium grade 2 plate at a constant temperature of 900°C at different heating times. Three different heating times were employed in this study: 30 minutes for the first period, 60 minutes for the second period, and 90 minutes for the third period. All heated samples were air cooled to room temperature after each heating period. Microhardness, microstructure, tensile strength, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests were performed. All the results were analyzed and compared with the parent sample. It was observed that the heating period influenced microstructural arrangement of the material. The microstructural changes affected negatively the ultimate tensile strength while percentage elongation was improved. The microhardness of the heat treated samples were firstly negatively affected which later jumped and exceeded that of the parent material.
