AbstractDeformation microstructures in γ-TiAl + α2Ti3Al based fully lamellar (FL) and nearly lamellar (NL) microstructures have been simulated using micro-mechanical methods. The deformation is extremely inhomogenous resulting in a large accumulation of hydrostatic stresses at the grain boundaries, thereby promoting intergranular fracture initiation. In particular, the increase in ductility with increasing equiaxed γ-grain volume fraction (with compliant deformation characteristics) in nearly lamellar alloys is explained by the reduction of the hydrostatic stress buildup at the boundaries, consequently mitigating fracture.

In the present investigation, a bimodal structured alloy with ultrafine-grained (UFG) eutectoid matrix embedded with micrometer-grained pre-eutectoid phase was introduced into the hypo-eutectoid Cu-10.8wt.%Al and Cu-11.3wt.%Al alloys by means of pre-pressing heat-treatment, equal-channel-angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent annealing. Different size of micrometer grained pre-eutectoid phase was obtained by controlling the cooling rate during pre-pressing heat-treatment of the hypo-eutectoid alloy. The tensile deformation behavior of the developed microstructures is characterized by a maximum tensile yield strength up to 800MPa, which is three times higher than that of the un-treated alloy. It is found that the size of the micrometer grained pre-eutectoid phase is critical to the improvement of the bimodal structured alloy. With larger micrometer grained pre-eutectoid phase, no obvious improvement in plastic elongation was observed with the increase of volume fraction of the pre-eutectoid phase from 20% to 40%, but a decrease in the yield tensile strength was observed. An optimal combination of strength and ductility was obtained particularly in those samples embedded with small-sized micrometer-grained pre-eutectoid phase, which provide extra strain gradient hardening effect.

ABSTRACTSpecial ultrafine fully-lamellar microstructures have been found recently in γ-TiAl alloys with 46–48 at.% Al, when they are processed or heat-treated above the α-transus temperature (Tα). Hot-extrusion above Tα also produces a refined colony or grain size. Refined-colony/ultrafine-lamellar (RC/UL) microstructures produce an excellent combination of room-temperature ductility and high-temperature strength in Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb (at.%) alloys. UL structures generally have an average interlamellar spacing of 100–200 nm, and have regularly alternating γ and α2 lamellea, such that they are dominated by γ/α2 interfaces with relatively few γ/γ twin boundaries. The focus of this study is how variations in processing parameters or alloy composition affect formation of the UL structure, particularly the α2 component.

The paper presents the role of equiaxed α׳ in the bimodal microstructure to attain an optimal combination of ductility and strength. The study revealed that the production of bimodal microstructure and volume fraction of equiaxed α׳ were reliant on the forging temperature and subsequent heat treatment. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy was forged in the two phase region and different heat treatment cycles were employed to get the desired bimodal microstructure and thus the combination of strength and ductility. The mechanical properties of fully lamellar microstructure were compared with bimodal microstructure containing equiaxed α׳. The experimental results showed that the amount of equiaxed α׳ in the bimodal microstructure was critical for achieving a well-balanced profile of mechanical properties.

A combined model taking account of the dislocation strengthening effects and particle cracking during tensile straining based on Eshelby equivalent inclusion method is presented to model the deformation behavior of SiCp/Fe composites. Stress-strain curves of the composites were simulated and it is found that the curves vary obviously with the volume fraction and particle size. The yield stress is increased significantly by increasing the volume fraction and decreasing the particle size. Stress in particles is very high during straining and the fraction of cracked particles increased obviously with increasing the particle size. These results indicate that higher volume fraction and finer particles can give better mechanical properties of the composites attributed to the increased load sharing effect and dislocation strengthening effects of the matrix.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of internal pores on the tensile properties of a Co–Cr–Mo alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). Design/methodology/approach The size and volume fraction of pores were controlled through high temperature annealing (HTA) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP). Findings After HTA, the size and fraction of pores decreased compared with the as-built SLM sample, and no pores were observed after HIP. Tensile tests of the HTA and HIP samples showed nearly similar tensile deformation behavior. From the results, the authors found that the size of the internal pores formed in the SLM process had little effect on the tensile properties. The as-built SLM sample had less elongation than the HTA and HIP samples, which would not the effect of porosity, but rather the effect of the residual stress and the retained ε phase after the SLM process. Originality/value Although pores are a main factor that influence the mechanical properties, the effect of pores on the tensile properties of Co–Cr–Mo alloys fabricated by SLM has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, the effect of pores on the tensile properties of a Co–Cr–Mo alloy fabricated by SLM was studied.
