Ti–xNi–12Cu (at%) (x = 39, 40) alloys were prepared and then their transformation behavior and microstructures were investigated after solution treatment at various temperatures by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Matrix (B2), Ti2 (Ni, Cu) and Ti(Ni, Cu)2 phases were observed in all specimens except the TiNi39Cu12 alloy solution treated at 1373 K in which matrix (B2) and Ti2 (Ni, Cu) were observed. Volume fraction of Ti(Ni, Cu)2 phase decreased with increasing solution treatment temperature. All specimens showed the B2–B19 martensitic transformation behavior. Transformation temperatures and hysteresis decreased with increasing solution treatment temperature, which was ascribed to the decrease in the volume fraction of Ti(Ni, Cu)2 phase resulting in the increase in Ni content of matrix.

The effect of solution treatment temperature on the microstructure, phase present and hardness on Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was study in this work. The Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was experienced a solution treatment process at six different temperatures which are 950 °C, 1000 °C, 1050 °C, 1100 °C, 1150 °C and 1200 °C for 3 hours soaking time followed by water quench. The average grain size was measured by using linear intercept methods ASTM E112. Microstructure of solution-treated Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was characterized by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrometer. The phase present was analyzed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The Vickers hardness was used to measure the hardness of solution-treated Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy. Increasing the solution treatment temperatures were increase the average grain size of solution-treated Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy. In addition, all samples exhibited an equiaxed matrix grain with slight distribution of precipitates particles. The hardness of solution-treated Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was decrease as the solution treatment temperature increase.

The Ti compressor disks of aviation jet engines are produced by forging. Their microstructure, which depends on the forging conditions, strongly affects their mechanical properties. In this study, changes in the microstructure of Ti-17 alloy as a result of different solution-treatment (ST) temperatures and the related tensile yield strengths were investigated to elucidate the correlation between the ST temperature, microstructure, and yield strength. Ti-17 alloys ingots were isothermally forged at 800 °C and solution-treated at 750, 800, and 850 °C. The microstructure and yield strength were investigated for samples subjected to different ST temperatures. The primary α phase formed during the ST, and the secondary α phase formed during the aging treatment at 620 °C. The yield strength increased with increasing volume fraction of the primary α phase and increased further upon formation of the secondary α phase during the tensile test at room temperature. The correlation of the primary and secondary α phases with yield strength was clarified for tensile properties at room temperature, 450, and 600 °C. An equation to predict the yield strength was constructed using the volume fraction of the primary and secondary α phases.

Al 7xxx alloy is a heat treatable Al alloy with superior strength. Solution treatment in precipitation hardening sequence of the alloy has an important role to dissolve second phases and bring vacancies out to form precipitates in the ageing process. Another strengthening can be done by Ti addition as grain refiner. As cast alloy by squeeze casting was homogenized at 400 °C for 4 h. Solution treatment was conducted at 220, 420, and 490 °C, followed by rapid quenching. Subsequent ageing was conducted at 130 °C for 48 h. Characterization was performed by optical microscope, SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), Rockwell hardness testing, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), and STA (Simultaneous Thermal Analysis). Ti added alloy showed rounder grains, lower hardness, and more reduction in second phase volume fraction along with increasing solution treatment temperature than those in alloys without Ti addition. Otherwise, the alloy final hardness was increasing and higher after the ageing process due to higher second phase dissolution which leads to more precipitates formed.

The microstructures of AA6111 automotive aluminum alloy were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results indicated that as-cast AA6111 alloy has a complex microstructure. There were many kinds of intermetallic phases, such as lath-shaped β-Al5FeSi, Al15(FeMn)3Si2and Mg2Si on the grain boundaries. The Al5Cu2Mg8Si6precipitates presented non-equilibrium eutectic morphology in the grain interiors. After homogenization treatment (6h at 470), the low melting point Mg2Si phase began dissolving. The eutectic Al5Cu2Mg8Si6phase were dissolved completely after 530/24h homogenization treatment. The Al15(FeMn)3Si2phase started to be spheroidized at 560. Increasing treatment temperature will promote Mn to substitute for Fe in this phase.

The microstructures, tensile properties, and fatigue lives of the forged Ti-17 using a 1500-ton forging simulator subjected to different solution treatments and a common aging treatment under both load- and strain-controlled conditions to evaluate high cycle fatigue and low cycle fatigue lives, respectively were examined. Then, the tensile properties, microstructures, and relationships between fatigue lives and the microstructural factors were discussed. The fatigue limit under load-controlled conditions increases with increasing solution treatment temperature up to 1143 K, which is in the (α + β) region. However, it decreases with further increase in the solution treatment temperature to 1203 K in the b region. The fatigue ratio at fatigue limit is increasing with decreasing solution treatment temperature, namely increasing the volume fraction of the primary α phase, and it relates well qualitatively with the volume fraction of the primary α phase when the solution treatment temperature is less than the b transus temperature. The fatigue life under strain-controlled conditions to evaluate the low cycle fatigue life increases with decreasing solution treatment temperature, namely increasing the volume fraction of the primary α phase. The fatigue life under strain-controlled conditions to evaluate the low cycle fatigue life relates well quantitatively with the tensile true strain at breaking of the specimen and the volume fraction of the primary α phase for each total strain range.

Effect of solution treated temperature at 5001100°C on ferrite/austenite ratio and σ phase precipitation has been studied in this paper, and the tensile properties after solution treatment at 950°C and 1050°C is compared. The results shows that the ferrite/austenite ratio treated 1050~1100°C is about 1:1; and the formation of σ phase occurs in the ferrite or at ferrite - austenite boundary. The quantity of the σ phase precipitation increases firstly and then decreases with increase of the solution treatment temperature, reaching the maximum at 900°C, and disperse at above 1050°C. Tensile tests show that the fracture is brittle divided and stretched by ductile belt at 950°C, and ductile at 1050°C.

The thermal stability of constituent particles in both as-rolled and solution treated in AA7A55 has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three types of solution treatments were used to dissolve particles constituents. Whereas the degree of recrystallization aggravates which deteriorates the properties with increasing the solution temperature, a significant amount of recrystallization exists after utilizing 480°C solution treatment whereas a much smaller extent from 480°C to 490°C. And electrochemical and exfoliation corrosion matched with the degree of recrystallization. With increasing the recrystallization the corrosion become worse.

Microstructure and corrosion behavior of the solution-treated Mg-1.8Zn-1.74Gd-0.5Y-0.4Zr (wt%) alloy were studied. The results of microstructure indicated that the second phases of as-cast alloy was mainly comprised of Mg12Zn(Gd,Y) phase, Mg3Zn3(Gd,Y)2 phase and (Mg,Zn)3(Gd,Y) phase. After solution treatment process, the second phase gradually dissolved into the matrix, and the grain size increased. The effect of microgalvanic corrosion between α-Mg matrix and second phase was also improved. At the range of 470~510 °C solution treatment temperature, the corrosion resistance of the samples increases at first and then decreases slightly at 510 °C. All the solution-treated Mg-Zn-Gd-Y-Zr samples exhibit better corrosion resistance in comparison with as-cast sample. The existence form of the remaining phase affects the morphology of the corroded surface that relatively complete dissolution with homogeneous microstructure makes the sample more effective to obtain uniform corrosion form. The optimum temperature for solution treatment is 490 °C, which shows a much better corrosion resistance and uniform corrosion form after soaking for a long time.

This work examines the effect of solution heat treatment temperature on the tensile strength of Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. All samples were machined according to the ASTM B557. The samples were solution treated at 450°C and 530°C and followed by ageing at 160°C for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 hours. Tensile test was carried out on the samples after heat treatment. The results showed that the highest tensile strengths (201.69 MPa) was given by the sample solution heat treated at 530 °C for 5 hours followed by 20 hours aging at 160 °C. Whereas, the lowest tensile strength (98.52MPa) was given by the sample solution treated at 450°C for 20 hours. Tensile strength was increased with ageing process and decreased for over-aged samples.
