High-strength crystalline/amorphous composites materials based on (Ti-Ni)-(Cu-Zr) system were developed. The optimal concentrations of additional alloying elements Al, Fe, and Cr were obtained. Structural investigations were carried out using X-ray diffraction equipment (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy-dispersive X-ray module (EDX). It was found that additives of aluminum and chromium up to 5 at% dissolve well into the solid matrix solution of the NiTi phase. At a concentration of 5 at%, the precipitation of the unfavorable NiTi2 phase occurs, which, as a result, leads to a dramatic decrease in ductility. Iron dissolves very well in the solid solution of the matrix phase due to chemical affinity with nickel. The addition of iron does not cause the precipitation of the NiTi2 phase in the concentration range of 0–8 at%, but with an increase in concentration, this leads to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the alloy. The mechanical behavior of alloys was studied in compression test conditions on a universal testing machine. The developed alloys have a good combination of strength and ductility due to their dual-phase structure. It was shown that additional alloying elements lead to a complete suppression of the martensitic transformation in the alloys.

Small amounts of various alloying elements were added to a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy and their effects on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and casting characteristics were investigated. Silicon additions with or without extra Mg to the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy could enhance the castability such as fluidity, feedability, and hot tearing resistance significantly while maintaining a high strength. However, in these alloys containing silicon the compositional adjustment was necessary to prevent the Mg2Si phase formation from degrading the precipitation of MgZn2 phase that is responsible for the high strength. Zr addition to the base alloy was also observed to improve the feedability without deteriorating the tensile strength.

Structure and mechanical properties of high-strength alloys on the basis of the Fe-Cr-Co system with W, Ga, Cu and Al additives have been investigated by the Mossbauer technique. It is shown that the magnitude of yield strength is independent of the dopants, whereas the relative elongation is controlled by the process of phase separation in the alloys which is dependent on additions.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys constitute an attractive structural material for transportation industries, due to their low density and high strength/weight ratio. However, high susceptibility to corrosion of Mg alloys limits their use. Therefore, there is a growing interest for development of new Mg alloys with good mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance. Production of wrought Mg alloys results in enhancement of mechanical properties, whereas addition of alloying elements may result in improved corrosion behavior. In this study we distinguish the role of aluminum, zinc, tin and calcium additions on the corrosion performance of new wrought Mg alloys. Overall, addition of alloying elements resulted in precipitation of second phase particles with cathodic behavior (relatively to Mg matrix). This enhanced the micro-galvanic effects and the corrosion resistance in short periods of immersion was deteriorated. However, in longer periods of immersion the passive characteristics of the oxide layer played a significant role in improving the alloys' corrosion resistance. The contribution of each element to the oxide layer will be discussed in detail. In general, the quantities of alloying element should be sufficient to stabilize the corrosion products layer; yet as low as possible, in order to reduce the micro-galvanic effects.

The mechanical properties of four cast high-strength steels, 4340, 15-5 PII stainless steel, and two maraging steels were examined. To provide a direct comparison with wrought steels split heats were prepared in which part of each heat was sand cast and the balance was forged and hot-rolled to plate. The KIc properties of the castings were comparable to the plate properties. Limited tests indicated that the cast steels also had reasonably good fatigue and stress corrosion cracking resistance. The castings showed surprisingly low Charpy values, which was attributed to notch acuity due to the more heterogeneous nature of the fractures in the cast structures. The overall results suggest that cast high-strength steels had satisfactory toughness and could be used in many applications.

The aim of this research is to develop the high strength Al alloy sheet for the automotive body. For the fabrication Al - Mg alloy sheet, the composition of alloying elements was designed by the properties database and CALPHAD (Calculation Phase Diagram) approach which can predict the phases during solidification using thermodynamic database. Al - Mg alloys were designed using CALPHAD approach according to the high content of Mg with minor alloying elements. After phase predictions by CALPHAD, designed Al - Mg alloys were manufactured. Addition of Mg in Al melts were protected by dry air/Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) mixture gas which can control the severe Mg ignition and oxidation. After rolling procedure of manufactured Al - Mg alloys, mechanical properties were examined with the variation of the heat treatment conditions.

The effect of Ta, Nb, Hf and Zr on the microstructure and high temperature tensile properties of DM02 alloy, which is a novel developed Ni base superalloy for high temperature die material, had been studied in this paper. The results showed that the four alloying elements affect the composition and morphology of carbides obviously, and have almost no effect on the morphology and size of γ´ phase in DM02 alloy. 0.5-1wt% Hf make the morphology of MC carbide change from bone-like to blocky and inhibit the formation of primary M6C carbide, thus improve the ductility of DM02 alloy, while 0.1wt% Zr has no similar effect. The strengthening effect of 3wt% Ta is better than that of 1.5wt% Nb. DM02 alloy with 3wt% Ta and 0.5wt% Hf has high strength and good ductility at 1050°C.
