This study verifies the option to process chopped polyethylene fibre reinforced polyolefins without causing fibre relaxation. It generates a new family of materials whose property range is as wide as the number of combinations of matrix choice and fibre content. The generic effect of the fibre on the mechanical properties is to turn a soft polyolefin matrix, characterised by low modulus and yield stress and high ductility, into a rigid, high strength composite material.

It is well known that plastic deformation induced by conventional forming methodssuch as rolling, drawing or extrusion can significantly increase the strength of metalsHowever, this increase is usually accompanied by a loss of ductility. For example, Fig.1 shows that with increasing plastic deformation, the yield strength of Cu and Almonotonically increases while their elongation to failure (ductility) decreases. Thesame trend is also true for other metals and alloys. Here we report an extraordinarycombination of high strength and high ductility produced in metals subject to severeplastic deformation (SPD). We believe that this unusual mechanical behavior is causedby the unique nanostructures generated by SPD processing. The combination ofultrafine grain size and high-density dislocations appears to enable deformation by newmechanisms. This work demonstrates the possibility of tailoring the microstructures ofmetals and alloys by SPD to obtain both high strength and high ductility. Materialswith such desirable mechanical properties are very attractive for advanced structuralapplications.

Revived interest for beta Ti alloys with increased oxygen content is motivated by the prospect of achieving material with low modulus and high strength simultaneously. Fine tuning of amount of oxygen and beta stabilizing elements is critical for achieving good mechanical properties. This study shows that powder metallurgy method of spark plasma sintering is capable of producing Ti-Nb-Zr-O alloys from elemental powders. This simple approach allows for quick sampling and production of several alloys with various chemical composition. Elemental powders were mixed with appropriate amount of titanium dioxide to achieve Ti-29Nb-7Zr-0.7O alloy. Sintering was performed at 1400 - 1500 °C for 15 – 30 minutes.

Electrical discharge machinable ceramics provide an alternative machining route independent on the material hardness which enables manufacturing of customized ceramic components. In this study a composite material based on an alumina/zirconia matrix and an electrically conductive titanium nitride dispersion was manufactured by hot pressing and characterized with respect to microstructure, mechanical properties and ED-machinability by die sinking. The composites show a combination of high strength of 700 MPa, hardness of 17–18 GPa and moderate fracture resistance of 4.5–5 MPa√m. With 40 kS/m the electrical conductivity is sufficiently high to ensure ED-machinability.

A series of Ti-Mo-Sn alloys with different Mo contents from 7% to 15% (wt. %) were prepared, and the effects of Mo content and thermo-mechanical treatment on their microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior were investigated. The experimental results indicated that the β to α martensite transformation can be effectively suppressed with increasing Mo content. After cold rolling treatment, superior mechanical properties and low modulus were achieved in Ti-8Mo-4Sn alloy, with tensile strength of 1108MPa, yield strength of 1003MPa and low Youngs modulus of 53GPa. The influence of severe cold deformation on the macrostructure and mechanical properties was discussed based on the characterization of X-Ray diffraction and mechanical tests. It was demonstrated that the cold rolling induced fine α martensite and high density dislocations lead to the high strength of the Ti-Mo-Sn alloys. The fine α martensite as well as the β matrix with low stability guarantee low Youngs modulus.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this research work is to study the effect of boron addition on mechanical properties and microstructure of a new family of low carbon NiCrVCu advanced high strength steels (AHSS). Experimental steels are thermo-mechanically processed (TMP) (hot-rolled+quenched). Results show that the microstructure of these steels contains bainite and martensite, predominantly, which nucleate along prior austenite grain boundaries (GB). On the other hand, tensile tests reveal that the TMP steels have YS (0.2% offset) of 978 MPa, UTS of 1140 MPa and EL of 18%. On the basis of exhibited microstructure and mechanical properties, these experimental steels are classified as bainitic-martensitic complex phase (CP) advanced ultra-high strength steels (UHSS).

To develop a superplastic damping device, the mechanical properties and superplastic capability of Zn-22Al alloy with a large size in the rolled samples were investigated. It is indicated that the alloy with a large size has some advantage properties, such as high ductility, low yield stress and low work hardening at room temperature, which is very useful to a seismic damper.

This paper analyzed mechanical properties and splitting fracture performance of 46MnVS5 with different microstructures. It will provide support of date for new type of splitting fracture connecting rod materials. The results show that bainite has good strength and ductility, but its high ductility is bad for splitting fracture. Martensite and tempered martensite have high strength and low ductility, which is bad for using performance. Ductility of tempered sorbite is too high to meet splitting fracture performance. Tensile and yield strength, impact toughness of tempered troostite is 1569MPa, 1407MPa and 17.5J/cm2, respectively. Tempered troostite has high strength and good splitting fracture performance. Bainite+martensite and tempered troostite maybe two good choices for better splitting fracture and using performance.

Combined strengthening-toughening technologies of several high property titanium alloys, such as TC4-DT, TC6, TC18, TC21 for aviation uses, have been studied via purification, quasi-b heat treatment, quasi-b forging and grain refinement. The effects of microstructure parameters of lamellar structure, basket-weave structure, refined grain structure etc. on the comprehensive mechanical properties of titanium alloys have been analyzed. The results have shown that, to acquire highly comprehensive static mechanical properties and excellent damage tolerance properties, quasi-b treatment and purification processing should be used for medium strength titanium alloys to get high ductility lamellar structure, while quasi-b forging processing be utilized for high strength titanium alloys to obtain high ductility basket-weave structure. Grain refinement processing is very necessary for both the strength levels of titanium alloys.

An experimental study of microstructure and mechanical properties in the Al2O3 particulate reinforced 6061 Aluminum composites has been used to determine the effect of extrusion and particle volume fraction (20, 26, 30, 40, 50, 60%Vf) in deformed metal matrix composites. The microstructure of Al2O3 /6061Al composite before and after hot extrusion is investigated by TEM and SEM. Results show that dislocation and subgrain generated after hot extrusion as well as the particle distribution of composite become more uniform with extrusion ratio of 10:1. The ultimate strength, yield strength and elongation of the composite also increase after hot extrusion. Dispersion strengthening and subgrain boundary strengthening is discussed and also the effect of precipitate introduced by heat treatment both after casting and after extrusion. The yield stress (0.2% offset) of the composites has been calculated and predicted using a standard dislocation hardening model. Whilst the correlation between this and the measured value of yield stress obtained in previous experimental test is reasonable.
