ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties of two-phase TiAl sheets with different compositions and microstructures were investigated over the temperature range 25–1000 °C. The microprocesses of plasticity were characterized by electron microscope observations. Particular emphasis has been paid to the mechanisms governing the deformation behavior at elevated temperatures which are relevant for the fabrication and engineering applications of structural components.

An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.

Intermetallide alloys based on the Al2Ti compound are the most promising heat-resistant materials for future energy plants.The review examines the mechanical properties of the Al2Ti Intermetalide, two-phase alloys based on it and the doped niobium alloy. For use at temperatures of up to 950 °С, alloys with phase composition r-Al2Ti + γ-TiAl and platemicrostructure with additional doping of refractory elements are of interest.

Rolling and punching techniques of AZ31 alloy were investigated in this paper. Various rolling experiments were carried out to make fine-grained Mg sheets. Punching tests were conducted at the temperatures range from 70 to 300 oC. The analysis revealed that there existed an excellent warm forming temperature for as-rolled AZ31 alloy. A warm deep punching tool setup using heating elements was designed and manufactured to produce the cell phone. Microstructures were observed using optical and scanning electron microscope equipped with EBSD. The textures in as-rolled and as-annealed specimens attribute to different mechanical properties along the various direction.

AbstractPolymer blends comprising an unsaturated polyester resin and dispersed particles were prepared. Rubbery particles were synthesized by sequential emulsion polymerization and had core-shell morphology. Curing of materials was carried out at ambient temperature and subsequently post cured at elevated temperatures to obtain materials of consistent properties. Materials made of different particle content were prepared and their tensile properties evaluated. Effect of matrix ductility was investigated by inclusion of ethyl acrylate in the polyester resin composition. Deformation mechanisms involved in these materials were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and real-time small angle X-ray spectroscopy (RT-SAXS). Incorporation of rubbery particles in the polyester resin was found to generally improve the tensile properties of the materials. Furthermore, the deformation mechanisms were found to involve cavitation/debonding processes as evidenced from stress whitening in the failed specimen and from real-time small angle X-ray scattering experiments.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to identify key microstructural parameters which control the mechanical properties of two-phase γ-TiAl alloys with lamellar structures. TiAl alloys with the base composition of Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb (at. %) were prepared by arc melting and drop casting, followed by hot extrusion at temperatures above the oc-transus temperature, Tα. The hot extruded materials were then heat treated at various temperatures above and below Tα in order to control microstructural features in these lamellar structures. The mechanical properties of these alloys were determined by tensile testing at temperatures to 1000° C. The tensile elongation at room temperature is strongly dependent on grain size, showing an increase in ductility with decreasing grain size. The strength at room and elevated temperatures is sensitive to interlamellar spacing, showing an increase in strength with decreasing lamellar spacing. Hall-Petch relationships hold well for the yield strength at room and elevated temperatures and for the tensile elongation at room temperature. Tensile elongations of about 5% and yield strengths around 900 MPa are achieved by controlling both colony size and interlamellar spacing. The mechanical properties of the TiAl alloys with controlled lamellar structures produced directly by hot extrusion are much superior to those produced by conventional thermomechanical treatments.

Dynamic observation of dislocation movements is a direct means of examining proposed deformation mechanisms. Room temperature deformations have been observed dynamically by various authors, but at elevated temperatures no observation has been reported. Various dislocation theories have been proposed on the creep mechanism of metals at elevated temperatures. They disagree to each other even in the basic eharacteristics of the dislocation movements. The dislocation may move either individually or as a group. The motion may be either smooth or intermittent. The dynamic observation is suitable to resolve those basic conflicts.A heating-straining goniometer stage (Fig. 1) was developed for the experiment. It was mounted in a Hitachi 200KV electron microscope. The foil is pasted between A areas and heated indirectly by a furnace B through a stainless steel tube C. A rapid drying paste Aron α was used in the present experiment. The tube C surrounds the top of the specimen holder.

AbstractThe quasibinary NiAI-Mo system exhibits a large two-phase field between NiAl and the terminal (Mo) solid solution, and offers the potential for producing in-situ eutectic composites for high-temperature structural applications. The phase stability of this composite system was experimentally evaluated, following long-term exposures at elevated temperatures. Bend strengths as a function of temperature and room-temperature fracture toughness data are presented for selected NiA1-Mo alloys, together with results from fractography observations.
