ABSTRACTB2 aluminides have a role of Al reservoir for Al2O3 surface and it is expected to increase oxidation resistance of (Nb,Mo)-bccss substrate. For the accumulation of the basic information to design the alloy composed of B2 coating on bccss matrix, bccss - B2 two-phase field was investigated in the Nb-Mo-Ni-Pd-Al system at 1273 K. It is found that Pd-rich B2-(Ni,Pd)Al phase is in equilibrium with Nb-rich bccss phase, while without Pd, the composition range of bccss coexisting with B2-NiAl phase is limited to be low Nb.

ABSTRACTFor the improvement of oxidation resistance of Nb-based alloys, PdAl-B2 is expected as Al reservoir for Al2O3 surface layer because it is in equilibrium with Nbss (bcc) phase. However, PdAl forms cracks during casting caused by B2 -> β’ transformation. To suppress B2 -> β’ transformation, Rh, Ru and Ir were chosen as additive elements. It is found that bcc / B2 two-phase field in Nb-Pd-Ir-Al system is limited to be small fraction of Ir, while (Pd,Rh)Al-B2 is in equilibrium with bcc solid solution in a wide composition range and addition of Rh prevents occurrence of B2 -> β’ transformation. Composition range of (Pd,Ru)Al-B2 in equilibrium with bcc phase is wider than (Pd,Ir)Al-B2 but narrower than (Pd,Rh)Al-B2. Rh and Ru addition are also beneficial for improving eutectic temperature of Nb-bcc / B2 aluminide two-phase alloys.

The equilibrium alloys closed to Mg-Nd side in the Mg-rich corner of the Mg-Zn-Nd system at 400°C have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. The binary solid solutions Mg12Nd and Mg3Nd with the solubility of Zn have been identified. The maximum solubility of Zn in Mg12Nd is 4.8at%, and Mg12Nd phase can be in equilibrium with Mg solid solution. However, only when the solubility range of Zn in 26at%~32.2at%, Mg3Nd can be in two-phase equilibrium with Mg solid solution. As the results, two two-phase regions as Mg+Mg12Nd and Mg+Mg3Nd and a three-phase region as Mg+Mg12Nd+Mg3Nd in Mg-Nd-Zn ternary isothermal section at 400°C have been identified.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy prepared by spark plasma sintering of gas atomized powders have been investigated. After consolidation, precipitates were observed to form in the α-Mg solid solution matrix of the Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy. These precipitates consisted of Mg12YZn and Mg24Y5 phases. The density of the consolidated bulk Mg-Zn-Y alloy was 1.86 g/cm3. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation were dependent on the consolidation temperature, which were in the ranges of 280 to 293 MPa and 8.5 to 20.8 %, respectively.

Studies have already established that the mechanical properties of Babbitt coatings significantly depend on the microstructural characteristics, such as the amount and distribution of intermetallic compounds dispersed in a soft solid solution matrix. For Sn–Sb–Cu-based Babbitt coatings, the formation of SbSn- and CuSn-based precipitates has a substantial influence on the resulting microhardness and thus determines the maximum load carrying capacity. Thermal spraying of Sn-based Babbitt coatings results in a relatively more refined structure of these precipitates than in common manufacturing processes, such as casting, due to the thermal processing conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the temperature of the propellant gas and substrate temperature on the microstructural characteristics of Sn–Sb–Cu-based Babbitt coatings deposited by low pressure cold spraying (LPCS). The deposits were examined for their phase composition, microhardness and mesoscopic structure. It was found that the coatings were mainly composed of Sb2Sn23, Sb0.49Sn0.51 and Sorosite (CuSn or CuSb0.115Sn0.835), regardless of the substrate temperature or temperature of the propellant gas to be investigated. For a gas temperature above 300 °C, an increased microhardness was observed, which correlates with the appearance of a more homogenous distribution of Sb0.49Sn0.51 dispersed in a soft Sn-rich solid solution matrix.

Precipitation in commercial partially-stabilized zirconia (PSZ) has been studied in order to facilitate "alloy design" in these materials. The commercial material used in this study is a 2.8 wt. % MgO alloy and has the cubic flourite structure at its sintering temperature. Upon cooling, a nearly MgO-free ZrO2 phase with tetragonal symmetry precipitates, which on further cooling inverts martensitically to a phase with monoclinic symmetry. At room temperature, commercial PSZ's therefore consist of a cubic solid solution matrix containing monoclinic precipitate; size, morphology, and distribution of the precipitate phase strongly influence mechanical properties.Figures I and II show typical microstructures of the material as it is commercially produced. Both large and small precipitates are present (Figure I), indicative of precipitation over a range of temperatures during slow cooling through the two-phase region. Figure II shows heavily-twinned monoclinic particle; such large particles produced during commercial fabrication are believed to be deleterious to the mechanical behavior.

A layer of Ni-Cr-Si-B-Fe alloy was successfully coated on plain steel substrate by hot dipping process. The Ni-Cr-Si-B-Fe alloy coating has a homogeneous thickness of 3mm. The chemical composition and microstructure were studied with SEM and XRD in this paper. The result shows that the Ni-Cr-Si-B-Fe alloy coating is defect-free and chemical bonded with plain steel substrate. A light band zone of 8-10 m width is between Ni-Cr-Si-B-Fe alloy coating and plain steel substrate, and may be considered as a quickly solidified layer. The coating microstructure is a heterogeneous microstructure and changes from the light band zone to the surface of the coating, which is composed mainly of coarse columnar dendrite, needle-like precipitates and scattered eutectic structures. Four regions across the thickness of Ni brazing alloy coating, due to solidification conditions upon hot-dipping, have been identified with distinguished microstructure. In γ-(Fe, Ni) solid solution matrix, the hard phases of CrB, Fe2B and Cr23C6 is identified in the coating.

In this article, the microstructural peculiarities and properties of dispersion-hardened beryllium bronze with Ni and Ti are studied after quenching (780 °C) in a supersaturated solid solution and aging (320 °C, 3h). Decomposition of the α-solid solution matrix is implemented by means of an intermittent reaction with a primary allocation intermetallic χ-phase (type Be12Ti) with a VCT-lattice. It is shown that the strength properties (yield strength, micro-hardness) of the alloy more than double after aging.

Electron microscopy techniques were used to characterize the microstructure and deformation behavior of AZ61 alloy proceeded by ECAP. The commercial AZ61 alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation possesses a two-phase microstructure consisting of solid solution matrix and massive γ-phase Mg17Al12, or Mg17(Al,Zn)12 distributed mostly at grain boundaries. Based on selected area diffraction and electron back scattered diffraction applied to a sample after the third pass, it can be concluded that plastic deformation induced by ECAP occurs mainly by slip mode forming a high density network of dislocation inside the grains. The grains size was significantly refined to 1.4 μm after the third pass of ECAP. The refinement of grain size is probably due to polygonization process associated with formation of high angle grain boundaries due to dislocations rearrangement. (Al, Zn)12Mg17 precipitates of size scattered from 100 to 200 nm and also the primary precipitates of Al6Mn phase were observed in this alloy.
