The shaft parts surface was treated by ultrasonic surface machining (USM) technology after surface induction hardening and tempering. In order to study the surface strengthening mechanism of ultrasonic punching on the surface of induction quenching and tempering, nano-intendation, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy were utilized to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion properties of untreated and USM-treated surface. The results indicated that the surface treated by USM had an obviously gradient plastic deformation layer and the grain of lath martensite was refined by this deformation. The surface mircohardness of USM-treated sample had a gradient trend, and the surface highest hardness was increased. Surface residual stress of USM-treated specimen was higher than untreated surface. The surface of USM-treated specimen also exhibited a lower friction coefficient, and a smaller wear scar. In addition, the surface of USM-treated sample had better corrosion resistance than untreated surface.

Magnesium alloys are promising candidate materials for cardiovascular stents due to their good biocompatibility and degradation property in human body. However, in vivo tests also show that improvement in mechanical property and corrosion resistance is necessary for wide application. In this study, hot extrusion and cyclic extrusion compression (CEC) were used on Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy, the effects of hot extrusion and CEC process on the microstructures, mechanical properties and corrosion properties of alloy were studied. The results showed that the microstructures of CEC treated Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy became finer and more homogenous, some nanoparticles which came from the cluster phase uniformly precipitated inside grains, alloy had good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The immersion test results in SBF solution at 37 for 24h showed that the alloy after CEC treatment is uniform corrosion.

The effects of aluminum on the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior in artificial seawater of Cu-Ni-Fe-Mn alloys were investigated. Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn samples, consisting of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt % aluminum along with the same contents of other alloying elements (Ni, Fe, and Mn), were prepared. The microstructure of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and its corrosion property was tested by an electrochemical system. The results show that the mechanical and corrosion properties of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy have an obvious change with the aluminum content. The tensile strength has a peak value of 395 MPa by adding 3 wt % aluminum in the alloy. Moreover, the corrosion rate in artificial seawater of Cu-7Ni-3Al-1Fe-1Mn alloy is 0.0215 mm/a which exhibits a better corrosion resistance than the commercially used UNS C70600. It is confirmed that the second-phase transformation of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy follows the sequence of α solid solution → Ni3Al → Ni3Al + NiAl → Ni3Al + NiAl3. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows that the adding element aluminum in the Cupronickel can improve the corrosion resistance of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy.

Al-Zn-Mg alloys are widely used construct material for wide range of application including automotive industry, building, and aviation. Scandium is rare earth metal, which modifies structure of semi-products and can lead to increasing of tensile and yield strength because of Al3Sc intermetallics of nanoscale size. This paper describes results of influence of small addition of scandium (0,08 wt. %) on mechanical and corrosion properties of cold-rolled sheets of 1913 alloy. 1913 is Russian medium strength corrosion resistant weldable Al-Zn-Mg alloy with addition of Cu for improvement of stress corrosion resistance and Mn with Zr for structure improvement. It is shown that addition of Sc transforms kinetics of artificial aging and accelerates decomposition of solid solution, besides tensile strength increases up to 50 MPa in artificially aged tempers. Changes in microstructure and quench sensitivity are described; results of intergranural corrosion, exfoliation and stress corrosion tests are introduced after different heat treatment including peak strength aging and overaging tempers.

This work presents mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steels obtained through powder metallurgy starting from austenitic X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (AISI 316L), martensitic X6Cr13 (AISI 410L) powders by controlled addition of alloying elements in the proper quantity to obtain the chemical composition of the structure similar to biphasic one. In the mixes preparations the Schaffler’s diagram was taken into consideration. Prepared mixes of powders have been sintered in a vacuum furnace with argon backfilling. After sintering rapid cooling was applied using nitrogen. Produced duplex stainless steels have been studied by SEM with EDS and light optical microscopy (LOM) and X-rays analysis to determine obtained structures. Corrosion properties have been studied through electrochemical methods in 1M NaCl.

WC reinforced Al-based coating with added CeO2 was prepared on the surface of S420 steel by laser cladding. The microstructure and structure of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and optical profiler. The mechanical properties and corrosion properties of the coatings were studied by microhardness tester, friction and wear tester, Charpy impact tester, and electrochemical workstation. The results show that the coating is mainly composed of Al-phase, continuous-phase, and hard reinforced-phase WC, and the coating and substrate show good metallurgical bonding. When the content of CeO2 is 1%, the fine grain strengthening effect is obvious, and the impact toughness of the coating is obviously improved. Appropriate amount of rare earth CeO2 can significantly improve the hardness of the coating. When the content of CeO2 is more than 1%, the wear resistance of the coating decreases. The coating prepared with different CeO2 content has higher impedance and corrosion resistance than that of the substrate. At 1% CeO2 content, the coating has the best corrosion resistance.

Magnesium alloys act as ideal biomedical materials with good biocompatibility. In this paper, the extruded biomedical Mg-6Zn-0.5Nd-0.5/0.8Ca alloys were prepared and their microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion properties were investigated. The results showed that the surfaces of Mg-6Zn-0.5Nd-0.5/0.8Ca alloys extruded at medium temperature were smooth and compact without cracks. The tensile strength and elongation of Mg-6Zn-0.5Nd-0.5/0.8Ca alloys were 222.5 MPa and 20.2%, and 287.2 MPa and 18.4%, respectively. A large number of dislocations were generated in the grains and on grain boundaries after the extrusion. The alloy was immersed in simulating body fluid (SBF) for the weightlessness corrosion, and the corrosion products were analyzed by FTIR, SEM equipped with EDS. It was found that the corrosion rate of Mg-6Zn-0.5Nd-0.5Ca and Mg-6Zn-0.5Nd-0.8Ca alloy were 0.82 and 2.98 mm/a, respectively. Furthermore, the compact layer was formed on the surface of the alloy, which can effectively hinder the permeation of Cl− and significantly improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

AbstractThis is the first report presenting the development of a Co–Cr–W–Ni–Mn alloy by adding 6 mass pct Mn to ASTM F90 Co–20Cr–15W–10Ni (CCWN, mass pct) alloy for use as balloon-expandable stents with an excellent balance of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The effects of Mn addition on the microstructures as well as the mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated after hot forging, solution treatment, swaging, and static recrystallization. The Mn-added alloy with a grain size of ~ 20 µm (recrystallization condition: 1523 K, 150 seconds) exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 1131 MPa, 0.2 pct proof stress of 535 MPa, and plastic elongation of 66 pct. Additionally, it exhibited higher ductility and lower yield stress while maintaining high strength compared to the ASTM F90 CCWN alloy. The formation of intersecting stacking faults was suppressed by increasing the stacking fault energy (SFE) with Mn addition, resulting in a lower yield stress. The low-yield stress is effective in suppressing stent recoil. In addition, strain-induced martensitic transformation during plastic deformation was suppressed by increasing the SFE, thereby improving the ductility. The Mn-added alloys also exhibited good corrosion resistance, similar to the ASTM F90 CCWN alloy. Mn-added Co–Cr–W–Ni alloys are suitable for use as balloon-expandable stents.
