ABSTRACTMicrostructures and mechanical properties of directionally solidified (DS) MoSi2 / Mo5Si3 / Mo5Si3C ternary eutectic composites were investigated. Ternary eutectic microstructure of a script-lamellar type that is characterized by rod-shaped Mo5Si3 and Mo5Si3C phases extending along the growth direction in the MoSi2 single crystalline matrix was developed simply by directional solidification at a growth rate of 10 mm/h. Compression tests along $[{\rm{1}}\mathop 1\limits^- 0]_{MoSi_2 }$ nearly parallel to the growth direction revealed that the DS ternary eutectic composites were plastically deformed above 1000 °C. Yield stresses of the DS ternary eutectic composites were much higher than those of binary composites mainly because of a smaller average thickness of MoSi2 matrix.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

Microstructures and mechanical properties of directionally solidified Mg-xGd (5.21, 7.96 and 9.58 wt.%) alloys were investigated at a wide range of growth rates (V = 10-200 μm/s) under the constant temperature gradient (G = 30 K/mm). The results showed that when the growth rate was 10 μm/s, different interface morphologies were observed in three tested alloys: cellular morphology for Mg-5.21Gd alloy, a mixed morphology of cellular structure and dendritic structure for Mg-7.96Gd alloy and dendrite morphology for Mg-9.58Gd alloy, respectively. Upon further increasing the growth rate, only dendrite morphology was exhibited in all experimental alloys. The microstructural parameters (λ1, λ2) decreased with increasing the growth rate for all the experimental alloy, and the measured λ1 and λ2 values were in good agreement with Trivedi model and Kattamis-Flemings model, respectively. Vickers hardness and the ultimate tensile strength increased with the increase of the growth rate and Gd content, while the elongation decreased gradually. Furthermore, the relationships between the hardness, ultimate tensile strength, the growth rate and the microstructural parameters were discussed and compared with the previous experimental results.

Lamellar Type

Nb-NiTi and Nb-CoTi eutectic alloys were directionally solidified in an optical floating zone furnace. Rod-type eutectic structures with Nb rods aligned parallel to the growth direction are obtained for Nb-41Ni-40Ti grown at relatively slow growth rates below 1.0mm/h, while lamellar-type eutectic structures are obtained for Nb-35Co-34Ti grown at the same condition. The hydrogen permeability for the Nb-41Ni-40Ti DS alloy with Nb rods perpendicular to the membrane surface is 2.60×10-8mol H2 m-1 Pa-1/2 at 673K, which is about 2.5 times higher than that of as-cast sample. No hydrogen embrittlement is observed between 573 and 673K, indicating that the Nb-NiTi rod-type eutectic structure effectively suppresses the hydrogen embrittlement of Nb during hydrogen permeation.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

AbstractIn this paper, the effects of extrusion–shear (ES) on the microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy has been studied, which has been achieved by conducting a lot of experiments and tests, including ES process, direct extrusion with different billet temperatures, microstructure analysis, hardness test, tensile & compression tests. The results show that the ES-processed rods has higher strengths (yield strength and tensile strength) than the direct extrusion ones with the same billet temperature, which contributed to their lower averaged grain size obtained from microstructure analysis according to Hall–Petch relation. Besides, the hardness of ES-processed AZ31 magnesium alloy decreases with the increasing of billet temperature. By comparing the two processes, it can be seen that the ES process could refine the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.

The Impact

A multiphase microstructure comprising of different volume fractions of prior martensite and ultra-fine bainite (bainitic ferrite and retained austenite) was obtained by quenching to certain temperatures, followed by isothermal bainitic transformation. The effect of the prior martensite transformation on the bainitic transformation behavior, microstructures, and mechanical properties were discussed. The results showed that the prior martensite accelerated the subsequent low-temperature bainite transformation, and the incubation period and completion time of the bainite reaction were significantly shortened. This phenomenon was attributed to the enhanced nucleation ratio caused by the introduced strain in austenite, due to the formation of prior martensite and a carbon partitioning between the prior martensite and retained austenite. Moreover, the prior martensite could influence the crystal growth direction of bainite ferrite, refine bainitic ferrite plates, and reduce the dimension of blocky retained austenite, all of which were responsible for improving the mechanical properties of the ultra-fine bainitic steel. When the content of the prior martensite reached 15%, the investigated steels had the best performance, which were 1800 MPa and 21% for the tensile strength and elongation, respectively. Unfortunately, the increased content of the prior martensite could lead to a worsening of the impact toughness.

The TiC-TiB2-SiC system was a ternary eutectic, whose eutectic composition was 34TiC-22TiB2-44SiC (mol%). A TiC-TiB2-SiC ternary eutectic composite were synthesized via the floating zone method using TiC, TiB2 and SiC powders as starting materials. The TiC-TiB2-SiC eutectic composite showed a lamellar texture. TiC(022), TiB2(010) and SiC(111) of the eutectic composite were perpendicular to the growth direction. The TiC-TiB2-SiC ternary eutectic composite had a specific relationship among the crystal planes: TiC[011]//TiB2[010]//SiC[112], TiC(200)// TiB2(001)//SiC( 402 ) and TiC(111)//TiB2(101)//SiC( 220 ).
