Mechanical properties of (001) Mo and (001) Mo – 1.5 at.% Ir single crystals have been studied by nanoindentation. It has been found that the iridium addition to molybdenum leads to an increase in both hardness and elastic modulus. An abrupt elasto-plastic transition (pop-in) at a depth of about 20 - 40 nm caused by dislocation nucleation in previously dislocation-free volume has been observed in the initial portion of the loading curve. It has shown that the Ir addition essentially affects the dislocation nucleation. Mean shear stress required for the dislocation nucleation increased from 10.8 GPa (G/12) for a Mo single crystal to 18.2 GPa (G/8) for the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution. Thus, the Ir solution in a Mo single crystal affects not only the resistance to the motion of dislocations (hardness) but the nucleation of them as well. The latter is likely to occur as a result of an increase in the structure perfection of the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution as compared to the pure Mo single crystal.

Sr added ignition-proof AZ91D-0.3Be magnesium alloy was prepared. The influence of Sr content on microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy was studied. Results show that the microstructure of ignition-proof AZ91D-0.3Be magnesium alloy is refined by a small amount of Sr addition. It is due to that the enrichment of a few Sr atoms in solid liquid interface in the process of magnesium alloy solidification inhibits grain growth and accelerates more nucleation. However, with increasing of Sr addition the microstructure is coarsened. By 0.01% Sr addition the tensile strength of as-cast experimental alloy is increased by about 25% and that of both the solid-solution and aged alloy is increased by about 40%. The elongation of as-cast alloy is increased by about 20% and that of solid-solution alloy increased by about 30%.

In order to improve the bio-corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy Mg-8.0Al-1.0Zn-xGd in the simulated human fluid, different heat treatment procedures were studied. Results showed that annealing treatment lowered the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness, while T6 treatment (solid solution+ aging) improved the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness. Microstructure analysis showed that the β phase dissolved into α phase after the annealing treatment. Hence, annealing treatment decreased the alloy’s corrosion resistance. However, lots of β-phases were precipitated in the T6 heat treatment, and they impeded the corrosion extending.

This work, in combination with industrial tests of casting welding, shows that the causes of high-temperature brittleness are the partial tears of the structure and the hot cracks of both the castings, as well as the welded and padded joints. Such phenomena should be treated as irreversible failures caused by the process of crystallization that is in the area of co-existence of the solid and liquid structural constituent. Nil-strength temperature (NST), nil-ductility temperature (NDT) and ductility recovery temperature (DRT) were determined using Gleeble 3800. Obtained results enabled the defining of brittle temperature range of MSR-B magnesium alloy. The assessment of the resistance to hot fractures was conducted on the basis of the transvarestriant trial. The transvarestriant trial involves changing of strain during welding. It was stated that the range of the high-temperature brittleness is very broad, which significantly limits the application of the welding techniques to join or repair elements made of the MSRB alloy. brittleness is caused mainly by metallurgical factors, i.e. precipitation of intermetallic phases from the solid solution.

The effects of different solid solution and aging technologies on the microstructure of AM50 were studied. The results indicated that heat-resistant Al-Mn phases were the major second phases in AM50 alloy under all testing conditions. Highest microhardnesses were obtained not only in as-aged sample but in as-solution treated sample, which indicated that the strengthening mechanism for AM50 alloy was not limited to precipitation reinforcement.

In this paper, the effects of Sb and RE on the solutionized microstructure and microhardness of Mg-6A1-1Zn-0.7Si magnesium alloy are investigated. The research results indicate that the solid solution treatment can result to the modification of Chinese script shaped Mg2Si phases in the microstructure of experimental alloy, and adding small amounts of RE and Sb can strengthen the modification efficiency. In addition, after the solid solution treatment at 420°C, the Mg-6A1-1Zn-0.7Si alloy added 0.4%Sb and 0.25%RE exhibits higher microhardness, but the effect of Sb and RE additions on the changing law between microhardness and solutionized time, is not obvious.

Commercial magnesium alloys such as AZ31 exhibit strong crystallographic textures during massive deformation such as rolling. A randomisation of the texture, however, was found in alloys with rare earth (RE) elements in solid solution. This paper describes the development of microstructure and texture during rolling of the Al-free RE-containing wrought magnesium alloy ZEK100 during hot rolling. This alloy develops a strong texture with a pronounced component towards the transverse direction (TD) of the sheets. This TD component forms already after the first rolling pass, persists through all following passes and is further enhanced by subsequent heat treatment. These results are contrasted with results from a study on texture development of binary RE containing Mg-alloys, which show that the presence of RE elements alone is not responsible for the tilt of basal planes towards the TD. There is, however, a threshold concentration at which the texture begins to weaken.

In order to identify the influence of solid solution, aging and solid solution plus aging treatments on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of the extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy, the low-cycle fatigue tests were performed at room temperature for the extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy with different treating states. The results indicate that the cyclic stress response behavior of the extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy exhibits both cyclic strain hardening and stability. The solid solution, aging and solid solution plus aging treatments tend to decrease the cyclic deformation resistance of the extruded AZ61 alloy in most conditions. The solid solution treatment can enhance the fatigue lives of the extruded AZ61 alloy at medium total strain amplitudes. In addition, the aging treatment can prolong the low-cycle fatigue lives of the AZ61 alloy at most total strain amplitudes, while the case for the solid solution plus aging treatment is just contrary. For the extruded AZ61 alloy with different treating states, a linear relationship between cyclic stress amplitude and plastic strain amplitude is noted.
