AlMgB14–TiB2 composites with ideal structures are successfully prepared by field activated and pressure assisted synthesis. The effects of different TiB2 contents on the relative hardness and toughness of the composites were investigated. The results showed adding TiB2 could both increase the hardness of AlMgB14 and improve the fracture toughness. The TiB2 contributed more to the hardness than to the toughness. The microstructure analysis shows that the main toughening mechanisms of AlMgB14–TiB2 composites are hard phase dispersion strengthening, high-strength interface bonding and the high elastic modulus of TiB2. Therefore, reducing the particle size of TiB2 to nanoscale is an efficient way to improve the toughness and hardness. The results of friction and wear experiment at room temperature have shown that the addition of TiB2 into AlMgB14 enhances the abrasion–resistant property.

Directionally solidified oxide eutectic ceramics were prepared from Al2O3, Ln2O3 and ZrO2 based binary or ternary systems. Their microstructures consist of continuous networks of single-crystal Al2O3 and oxide compounds (LnAlO3, Ln3Al5O12) which interpenetrate without grain boundaries. The outstanding stability of these microstructures gives rise to a high strength and creep resistance at high temperature. Influence of growth conditions on the morphology of the as-obtained microstructures was studied. Preferred growth directions, orientation relationships between phases and single-crystal homogeneity of specimen were revealed. Low residual stresses were measured in the binary eutectics and fracture toughness at room temperature was improved by the addition of zirconia at a eutectic composition in ternary systems.

Effect of extensive grain refinement on mechanical properties of an Al-Mg-Sc alloy subjected to equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 300°C is considered in detail. It was shown that the Hall-Petch relationship with the coefficient, ky, of 0.2 MPa×m1/2 is valid in a wide strain range despite a great difference in deformation structures. Volume fraction of fine grains with an average size of ∼1 μm gradually increases with strain. It is caused by the fact that additive contributions of grain size strengthening and dislocation strengthening to the overall strengthening take place in this alloy. Upon ECAP the extensive grain refinement is accompanied by increasing dislocation density. Superposition of deformation and structural strengthening mechanisms provides achieving very high strength in the alloy. It was shown that ECAP at 300°C has no remarkable effect on a dispersion of coherent dispersoids. Al3(Sc,Zr), which gives a significant contribution to overall strength through dispersion strengthening. Contributions of different strengthening mechanisms to overall strength of the material are analyzed.

ABSTRACTNb-silicide based in-situ composites consist of a ductile Nb-based solid solution with high-strength silicides, and they show excellent promise for aircraft engine applications. The Nb-silicide controls the high-temperature tensile behavior of the composite, and the Nb solid solution controls the low and intermediate temperature capability. The aim of the present study was to understand the effects of substitutional elements on the room temperature tensile behavior and identify the principal microstructural features contributing to strengthening mechanisms.

Nb/Nb5Si3 in-situ composites are very attractive structural materials for these materials perform a good balance in mechanical properties, including a high strength at high temperature (>1373K) and reasonably high fracture toughness at room temperature. Metastable phase Nb3Si plays an important role in the properties of Nb/Nb5Si3 composites by affecting microstructure and volume fracture of ductile phase. In this paper, Nb-10Si-xMo and Nb-18Si-xMo (x=0,5,15) are prepared by arc melting and annealed at 1473K for 100h. Single edge-notched bending (SENB) test was used to study the fracture toughness of Nb-Si-Mo alloys. The stability of metastable phase is analyzed by XRD. The room temperature fracture toughness of Nb-10Si is 10.47MPa(m)1/2 and higher than that of binary Nb-18Si alloys at near-eutectic compositions. The addition of Mo improves the fracture toughness of as cast Nb-Si alloys from 4.1 MPa(m)1/2 to 9.9MPa(m)1/2 at near-eutectic compositions and decreases it from 10.47 MPa(m)1/2 to 8.8MPa(m)1/2 at hypoeutectic compositions.
