ABSTRACTAn investigation has been made on the effect of ternary additions of Mo and other elements on the room temperature tensile ductility and high temperature strength, including creep rupture strength in TiAl based alloys. Mo modified Ti-rich TiAl in an annealed condition exhibited higher tensile ductility at room temperature than other well-known Cr or Mn modified alloys, this resulting from the refinment of mean grain size in the duplex structure of lamellar (γ+α2) and single phase (γ) rather than the crystalline tetragonality of the γ phase. Moreover, creep strength in as cast Ti-rich TiAl is improved with the addition of Mo, and lowered with the addition of Mn. These results suggest that Mo modified Ti-rich TiAl can enhance, the potential of TiAl as a high temperature material more than other ternary modified TiAl.

ABSTRACTThe effects of alloying elements (Ni/Ta) on the temperature dependence of yield stress in Co3(Al,W) with the L12 structure have been investigated through compression tests of nearly single-phase polycrystalline alloys in the temperature range between room temperature to 1,473K. Compared with a ternary Co3(Al,W), a Ni/Ta-added Co3(Al,W) alloy exhibits a higher γ΄ solvus temperature and lower onset temperature of the yield stress anomaly (positive temperature dependence of yield stress), suggesting that the CSF energy is increased by Ni/Ta addition. As a consequence, the high-temperature strength in Co3(Al,W) is considerably enhanced.

AbstractSince the ternary intermetallic compound Co3(Al,W) with the L12 structure was discovered, two-phase Co-base alloys composed of the γ-Co solid-solution phase and the γ'-Co3(Al,W) phase as a strengthening phase have been investigated as promising high-temperature materials. Some Co-base alloys have been reported to exhibit high-temperature strength greater than those of conventional Ni-base superalloys. Although the excellent high-temperature physical properties of the Co-based alloys are considered to result from the phase stability and strength of Co3(Al,W), the pristine physical properties of Co3(Al,W) have not been fully understood, supposedly due to the difficulties in obtaining single-phase Co3(Al,W). In the present study, we examine the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure of alloys with compositions close to single-phase Co3(Al,W) as well as their mechanical properties, e.g. elastic modulus, thermal expansion, etc., in hope of deriving the pristine properties of the Co3(Al,W) phase. A single crystal with the composition of Co-10Al-11W grown by floating-zone melting exhibits a thermal expansion coefficient of 10×10-6 K-1 at room temperature, which is virtually identical to those of the commercial Ni-base superalloys. However, it increases with increasing temperature followed by a discontinuity at around 1000°C, inferring the phase transformation from γ' to γ. The investigated thermal expansion behavior indicates that the lattice mismatch between the γ' and γ phases is reversed from positive at room temperature to negative at high temperatures above around 500°C. The results of elastic property measurement and environmental embrittlement investigation of polycrystalline Co3(Al,W) will also be presented.

ABSTRACTFor improving the room temperature tensile ductility of direct-cast gamma TiAl sheets without affecting their high-temperature strength, direct sheet casting with T1B2 particle dispersion is employed and conducted. The T1B2 addition and rapid cooling results in the formation of a fine equiaxed grain microstructure with an average grain size of ∼10μm, contributing to the increase in the room temperature ductility to 2.1% with the high-temperature tensile strength kept at about 200MPa. This improvement of room-temperature ductility is attributable to the following fact. The high oxygen content of this material, about 2500wt. ppm, is not harmful to the tensile ductility when the oxygen is in the solid solution of the 0:2 lamellar phase or in oxide particles, which are fine enough not to cause brittleness to the matrix. From these findings, a principle is proposed that oxygen is not harmful to the ductility of gamma TiAl when its microstructure containing oxygen is fine enough.

Ni-Cr-Co type Nickel-based super alloy Inconel 740H was studied. The effect of Nb, Al and Ti on the equilibrium of this alloy was analyzed by JMatPro software. The amount of Ti and Nb should be controlled by 1.50wt.%, and meanwhile, Al should be 1.0-2.0wt.%. If Mo and W were added the amount of Mo should be in the range of 1.0-2.0wt. %, and W should be about 1.0wt.%. Based on these results, three types of new alloys were designed, which contain Ni-Cr-Co-Mo type (1#), Ni-Cr-Co-W type (2#) and Ni-Cr-Co-Mo-W type (3#). Compared with the Ni-Cr-Co type Inconel 740H alloy, the room temperature strength, high temperature strength and high temperature durable performance of the three new alloys improved, which can provide the evidence and reference to optimize the chemical composition of Inconel 740H alloy, i.e., adding 1.50wt.% Mo and 1.0wt.% W individually or together.

ABSTRACTIn recent years, interest in high temperature aluminum alloys has increased. However, nearly all the data available is for simple extrusions. This paper looks at the properties of sheet made from a rapidly solidified Al-10Fe-2.5V-2Si alloy. The sheet is made by direct forging followed by hot rolling, this is readily scalable, so allowing the production of large sheet. The room temperature strength and fracture toughness of the sheet are comparable to those of 2014-T6. The high temperature strength, specific stiffness and corrosion resistance are excellent. Recently, improved thermomechanical processing and new alloys have allowed higher strengths and fracture toughness values to be obtained.

The objective of this work has been to analyze the high-temperature behavior of magnetically single-and biphase microwires because of its interest from fundamental and applications viewpoints. Two alloy compositions with amorphous structure covered by glass have been prepared as magnetically single phase microwires by quenching & drawing technique: CoFe-based with near zero saturation magnetostriction constant and Fe-based with positive saturation magnetostriction constant. The same wires were used as the core for magnetically biphase microwires. Second CoNi phase was deposited by electroplating. Magnitudes as saturation magnetization and hysteresis parameters are determined in the temperature range from room temperature up to 1200 K. We proceed to a comparative analysis of their magnetic behaviour at different temperatures as well as after cooling down to room temperature. Information on the Curie temperature of different phases and on the influence of heating process on the magnetic properties is thus derived.

Silicon-deoxidized, tempered bainitic 1 percent CrMoV steel is currently used extensively for high-temperature steam turbine rotor forgings operating at temperatures up to 565°C due to its excellent creep rupture properties and relative economy. There is impetus to improve the creep rupture strength of this steel while maintaining its current toughness level and vice versa. The excellent creep rupture ductility of the low Si version of this steel allows the use of a higher austenitizing temperature or tensile strength level for improving creep rupture strength without loss in creep ductility or toughness. When the tensile strength of this steel is increased from 785 to 854 MPa, the creep rupture strength exceeds that of the more expensive martensitic 12CrMoVCbN steel currently used for high-temperature rotor applications where additional creep rupture strength is required. The toughness of 1 percent CrMoV steel is improved by lowering the bainite start (Bs) temperature in a “superclean” base composition which is essentially free of Mn, Si, P, S, Sb, As and Sn. The Bs temperature can be lowered through the addition of alloying elements (i.e., C, Ni, Cr, and Mo) and/or increasing the cooling rate from the austenitizing temperature. Using these techniques, the 50 percent FATT can be lowered from approximately 100°C to below room temperature, which provides the opportunity to eliminate the special precautionary procedures currently used in the startup and shutdown of steam turbines. The most promising steels in terms of creep rupture and toughness properties contain 2.5 percent Ni and 0.04 percent Cb (for austenite grain refinement and enhanced tempering resistance). In general, the creep rupture strength of the superclean steels equals or exceeds that of the standard 1 percent CrMoV steel. In addition, the superclean steels have not been found to be susceptible to temper embrittlement, nor do they alter the room temperature fatigue crack propagation characteristics of the standard 1 percent CrMoV steel. These new steels may also find application in combination high-temperature-low-temperature rotors and gas turbine rotors.

Abstract In petroleum refinery plants, materials with high sensitization resistance are required. 347AP has particularly been developed for such applications and shows good sensitization resistance owing to its low C content. However, further improvement in high temperature strength is required for high temperature operations in complex refineries, such as delayed cokers. Recently, a new austenitic stainless steel (low C 18Cr-11Ni-3Cu-Mo-Nb-B-N, UNS No. S34752) with high sensitization resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures has been developed. In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructures of several aged specimens will be reported. By conducting several aging heat treatments in the range of 550–750 °C for 300–10,000 h on the developed steel, it was revealed that there were only few coarse precipitates that assumed sigma phase even after aging at 750 °C for 10,000 h. This indicates that the newly developed steel has superior phase stability. The developed steel drastically increased its Vickers hardness by short-term aging treatments. Through transmission electron microscopy observations, the fine precipitates of Cu-rich phase were observed dispersedly in the ruptured specimen. Therefore, the increase in Vickers hardness in short-term aging is possibly owing to the dispersed precipitation of Cu-rich phase. There was further increase in Vickers hardness owing to Z phase precipitation; however, the increment was smaller than that caused by Cu-rich phase. The newly developed alloy demonstrated excellent creep rupture strength even in the long-term tests of approximately 30,000 h, which is attributed to these precipitates.

Studies have been conducted as to the effect of Cu, Mn, Fe concentration changes in Al-Cu-Mn-Fe-Ti alloy, the conditions of thermal and deformational treatment of ingots and extruded rods 40 mm in diameter on the microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties. It has been determined that changing Al-6.3Cu-0.3Mn-0.17Fe-0.15Ti alloy to Al-6.5Cu-0.7Mn-0.11Fe-0.15Ti causes an increase in the strength characteristics of extruded rods at the room temperature both after molding and in tempered and aged conditions, irrespective of the conditions of thermal treatment of the initial ingot (low-temperature annealing 420 °С for 2 h, or high-temperature annealing at 530 °С for 12 h). Increasing the extruding temperature from 330 to 480 °С, along with increasing Cu, Mn and decreasing Fe in the alloy Al-Cu-Mn-Ti, is accompanied by the increased level of ultimate strength in a quenched condition by 25% to 410 MPa, irrespective of the annealing conditions of the original ingot. An opportunity to apply the Al-6.3Cu-0.3Mn-0.17Fe-0.15Ti alloy with low-temperature annealing at 420 °С for 2 h and the molding temperature of 330 °С has been found to produce rods where, in the condition of full thermal treatment (tempering at 535 °С + aging at 200 °С for 8 hours), a structure is formed that ensures satisfactory characteristics of high temperature strength by resisting to fracture for more than 100 hours at 300 °С and 70 MPa.

AbstractHigh temperature mechanical properties of various Zr and Cr strengthened single phase Ni3Al are investigated, with emphasis on the ability of each element to elevate Tp, the temperature corresponding to the peak yield strength. It is observed that Zr is a very effective strengthener, more so below Tp than above it, while a combination of Cr and Zr is capable of shifting Tp to a higher temperature. The combination results in an effective improvement of the rupture strength of Ni3Al. The strengthening mechanisms of each element will be discussed in this paper.
