A study of the effects of normalizing and austenitizing on the mechanical properties of Mn-Mo and Mn-Mo-Ni steels is presented. It is shown that the quenched and tempered condition has superior notch toughness, elevated temperature tensile properties, and creep ductility than the normalized and tempered condition. The basis of comparison used for strength is the percentage of the room temperature strength. The creep strength and rupture resistance of the normalized and tempered condition are better than those of the quenched and tempered condition. Also, a comparison of the properties of the steels is made to evaluate the effects of a 0.5 percent Ni addition. While it improves hardenability, Ni tends to impair the elevated temperature creep strength and rupture resistance. Significant effects of Ni are seen on the elevated temperature tensile properties. The loss in ultimate tensile strength with increasing temperature is greater for the Ni modified grade than for the unmodified Mn-Mo. In the quenched and tempered condition, both yield strength and ultimate tensile strength are less affected by temperature when no Ni is added.

Tensile properties of rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy produced by Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) technique was investigated as a function of temperatures from 25°C to 250 °C in order to assess the potent of high temperature applications. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy decreased steadily with increasing temperature. There was loss in strength of about 33% at 200°C and 46% at 250 °C comparing to the strength at room temperature. At T = 250 °C, the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy were higher than those of the wrought 7075-T651 Al alloy. Keyword: 7075 Al alloy; Gas Induced Semi Solid (GISS) technique; Elevated temperature tensile.

Microstructures and tensile properties of Mg-8Zn-4Al-xCax=0.6wt.%, 1.0wt.%, 1.3wt.%, named as alloy 1#, 2# and 3# , respectively)extruded magnesium alloy tube were studied at room and elevated temperature. The results show that Ca can increase tensile strength of the alloy at 150 and 200°C significantly. At the temperature of 200°C, alloy 3# achieved optimal tensile properties, of which the ultimate tensile strength, the yield strength and the elongation were 165.8MPa, 108.7Mpa and 41.5% respectively. Compared with the properties of as cast ZAC8506 Magnesium alloy, it is shown that the tensile properties of alloy 3# are much higher than that of ZAC8506 at both room temperature and 150°C. Alloy 3# also gets better tensile performance than AZ91D extruded tube produced in the same way at the temperature of 200°C Mg2Al3 and Ca2Mg5Zn13 phases are found in the microstructure which should contribute to the higher performance of alloy 3# at elevated temperature

The mechanical properties of 2219-T87 and 2219-T6 aluminum were determined after soak times from 0 to 300 sec at temperatures from 300 deg F (149 deg C) to 600 deg F (316 deg C). Specimens were tested also at ambient temperatures after a soaking period of 300 sec at temperatures of 200 deg F (93 deg C) to 700 deg F (371 deg C). In general, the tensile strength of the 2219 aluminum alloy decreased with increasing temperature. The tensile properties were not significantly influenced by variations in the soak times used through 500 deg F (260 deg C). At 600 deg F (316 deg C), increasing the soak time affected the strength slightly. For relatively short time exposures, this material can be recommended for load-bearing applications to 400 deg F (204 deg C), at which temperature 70 percent of the ambient temperature strength is still retained. When tested at ambient temperature after exposure to 400 deg F (204 deg C) for 300 sec, 2219-T87 retained approximately 97 percent of its original ambient temperature strength.

The elevated temperature mechanical behavior of Mg-Y-Zn alloys was investigated. It was found that the extruded Mg-Y-Zn alloy exhibited excellent mechanical properties both at ambient temperature and elevated temperature. With the increase of tensile temperature, the ultimate tensile strengths of Mg-Y-Zn alloys decreased and their elongations increased. The ultimate tensile strengths increased and elongations decreased with the increase of yttrium content. However, a gradual increase in the ultimate tensile strength and elongation both at ambient temperature and elevated temperature was obtained by increasing both yttrium and zinc contents. The fracture modes of Mg-Y-Zn alloys at different tensile temperature were also investigated.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is highly commercialized Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology for its ability to build complex parts with low cost in a short period of time. The process parameters in the FDM play a vital role in the mechanical properties of the polymeric parts. Most of the research studies show that the variable parameters such as orientation, layer thickness, raster angle, raster width, and air gap are some of the key parameters that affect the mechanical properties of FDM-processed polymeric parts. However, no reports have been made regarding the influence of nozzle diameter with raster width on the tensile properties of FDM fabricated polymeric parts. This work was devoted to achieving improved and isotropic mechanical properties in polycarbonate (PC) and PC/carbon nanotube (PC/CNT) nanocomposites by investigating the effect of printing parameters in FDM process. The nozzle diameter to raster width ratio, α was found to significantly affect the mechanical properties. The printing direction dependency in tensile properties were studied with the ratio α < 1 and α≥ 1 at three different raster angles of 0°, 45°/−45° and 90°. For α < 1, Ultimate tensile strength and modulus of elasticity were higher for 0°, compared to 45°/−45° and 90° raster angles. However, for α ≥ 1, the ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity showed little dependency to print direction. This certainly determines the decrease in anisotropy at higher values of α. Mesostructure characterization with microscopy and image analysis were used to further explain the printing behavior and the resultant properties of the printed samples.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of an Al-Si-Cu-Mg-Ni aluminium alloy have been investigated after thermal exposure at 350 °C for time intervals up to 1000 h. Experimental results showed that, with increasing the thermal exposure time, room temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature ultimate tensile strength, and Brinell hardness firstly decreased remarkably (up to 100 h) and then decreased slightly to a certain constant value (100-1000 h). Before thermal exposure, room temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature elongation percentage, and Brinell hardness of the alloys are 203.5 MPa, 48.7 MPa, 9.2%, and 82.3, respectively. With increasing the thermal exposure time, eutectic silicon grows up steadily, and the amount of Q phase with a flower shape increases. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the formation of stable θ precipitates was found in the microstructure.

AbstractMg-0.5Si-xSn (x=0.95, 2.9, 5.02wt.%) alloys were cast and extruded at 593K (320oC) with an extrusion ratio of 25. The microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and extruded test alloys were investigated by OM, SEM, XRD and tensile tests. The experimental results indicate that the microstructure of the Mg-0.5Si-xSn alloys consists of primary α-Mg dendrites and an interdendritic eutectic containing α-Mg, Mg2Si and Mg2Sn. There is no coarse primary Mg2Si phase in the test alloys due to low Si content. With the increase in the Sn content, the Mg2Si phase was refined. The shape of Mg2Si phase was changed from branch to short bar, and the size of them were reduced. The ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of Mg-0.52Si-2.9Sn alloy at the temperature of 473K (200oC) reach 133MPa and 112MPa respectively. Refined eutectic Mg2Si phase and dispersed Mg2Sn phase with good elevated temperature stability are beneficial to improve the elevated temperature performance of the alloys. However, with the excess addition of Sn, large block-like Mg2Sn appears around the grain boundary leading to lower mechanical properties.

Friction stir processing (FSP) was used to fabricate Al/Cu metal matrix composite (MMC). The effects of two different tool pin profiles (straight cylindrical and square) and the number of FSP passes on microstructure, tensile properties and microhardness were studied. The results indicated that good dispersion of micro-sized Cu particles, finer grains, higher tensile properties and higher microhardness, can be achieved by the square tool pin profile compared to the samples produced by the other tool. Also it was observed that the ultimate tensile strength of the samples produced by two FSP passes, as a result of Cu particles shattering, increased intensively compared to the samples fabricated with first FSP pass. Further FSP passes increased the elongation of the composites without any considerable changes in yield and ultimate tensile strength.

The effect of Gd addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-5Sn-Zn-Al alloy was investigated with variations of Gd contents. These results show that adding Gd can effectively refine the grain size and growth. In addition, the solubility of Gd increases the lattice constants ofα-Mg phase. Accordingly, the tensile properties of the as-cast Mg-5Sn-Zn-Al alloy are improved by the addition of Gd. The Mg-5Sn-Zn-Al-0.4Gd exhibits the highest tensile properties, and the values of the yield and ultimate tensile strength and elongation are 111 MPa, 188 MPa and 18.0%, respectively.
