The temperature dependence of the strength of a thin copper electrodeposit has been measured, by microtensile testing, from room temperature to 150 °C. The ultimate tensile strength decreased from around 240 MPa at room temperature to just above 200 MPa at 150 °C. The yield strength followed a similar trend. Elongation to failure increased slightly with temperature. The Young’s modulus, as measured by the unload-load slope, was well below the values expected based on averaging single-crystal elastic constants at all test temperatures. The effect of strain rate on strength at room temperature, using a range of over a decade, was low, with a weak trend upward.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

To investigate the effects of Mo and Bi on mechanical properties of a Zr-Fe-Cr alloy at room temperature, seven Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys with different compositions were designed. They were subjected to a series of rolling processes and heat treatments, and then sampled to measure mechanical properties by hardness and tensile test and to characterize microstructures by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron channel contrast (ECC) technique. Results indicated that among them two types of Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys achieve the designed goals on mechanical properties and have the following advantages: (i) the hardness of the alloys, up to 334HV after annealing, is 40% higher than traditional Zr-4. (ii) The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloys are 526 MP a and 889 MP a after hot rolling and annealing, markedly higher than the traditional Zr alloy. (iii) Good plasticity of the new Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloy is obtained with about 40% elongation, which is greatly higher than the Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo alloy thanks to the addition of Bi offsetting the disadvantage of addition Mo. Furthermore, according to observations of the microstructure observation, the reasons of the effect of the Mo and Bi elements on the mechanical performance of Zr-Fe-Cr alloy were studied and discussed.

Alumina dispersion hardened copper-base composite was fabricated by internal oxidation method. The high temperature tensile fracture of Cu-Al2O3 composite was studied and tensile strengths were determined at different temperatures of 600, 680 and 780 °C. Microstructure was investigated by means of optical microscope and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results show that, ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of copper alumina nanocomposite decrease slowly with increasing temperature. The yield strength reaches 119 MPa and ultimate tensile strength reaches 132 MPa at 780 °C. Surface fractography shows a dimple-type fracture on the fracture surface of the tensile tests where dimple size increases with increasing testing temperature and in some regions brittle fracture characteristics could be observed in the fracture surface.


In the present study, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is implemented to determine optimum process variables of TIG welding of Incoly-800HT sheets. Voltage, Welding current and speed of welding are considered as factors. Ultimate tensile strength at room temperature, yield strength at room temperature, ultimate tensile strength at 7500C, yield strength at 7500C and toughness are considered as responses. The Design of Experiment based on central composite response surface design, experimenting is formulated using the Design Expert 12 software. Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) carried on the responses and grey relational coefficients are calculated. The grey relational coefficients are subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using PAST 3.26 software that transforms the five responses into a single response. The optimization of parameters is carried by Response Surface Methodology and contribution by each input parameter is estimated by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance).

In this study, the effect of calcium contents on tensile properties of squeeze cast Mg-Al-Ca alloys at room temperature was investigated. The results show that as the calcium content of AMC50X increases from 0 to 4 wt.%, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation-to-failure (Ef) decrease dramatically at room temperature. But, the yield strengths (YS) of the alloys improve slightly.

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.

With recent development in automotive industries, aluminium alloys have great demand in sheet metal fabrication industries. Sheet metal forming at slightly elevated temperatures is more acceptable in forming operations. The mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and percentage of elongation are very influential in determining the formability of sheet metals in various applications. In this paper, tensile property of Al5052 alloy is investigated at constant strain rate under different annealing conditions from room to 350°C. Servo controlled universal testing machine was used for tensile testing. The results of tensile testing indicate that the tensile properties including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength decreases and elongation percentage increases with the increase in annealing temperature. The analysis shows that the formability parameters, strain hardening index and strength coefficient increase with increase in annealing temperatures.

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

In this work, the tensile properties of AZ31 Mg alloy deformed by multi-directional forging (MDF) were investigated at room temperature. And the enhanced mechanical properties of yield strength of 93 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 253 MPa and elongation of 29% were achieved. It is discovered that the MDF deformation makes the crystallographic orientation of original as-cast microstructure randomization, providing the condition for the following twinning during tensile deformation. In addition, the original fine grains and continuously refined grains can enhance the strength by restricting the growth of grains and motion of dislocations.

In the present work, mechanical properties and microstructures of hot-rolled and solution-treated Fe-26Mn-6Al-1C steel (6Al steel) were investigated. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature. The samples were characterized by using XRD, OM, SEM and TEM. The results suggested that the microstructure of the hot rolled 6Al steel was fully austenitic. After solution treatment and deformation, the microstructure was still single austenite. With the increase of the solution treatment temperatures, the strength decreased and the elongation increased. After solution treated at 1100°C for 1h, the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation were 378MPa, 756MPa and 57%.
