Abstract The influence of bonding temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of AA5251 alloy sheets have been analyzed in the paper. The alloy was deformed with the method of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) in various temperature conditions i.e. at ambient temperature up to 5th cycle (ε = 4.0) and using pre-heating of sheet packs at 200°C and 300°C up to 10 cycles (ε = 8.0). The deformed material was subjected to structural observations using TEM, measurements of crystallographic texture with the technique of X-ray diffraction and tensile tests. It was established that the temperature of roll-bonding had a significant effect on the structure evolution and the observed changes of mechanical properties. High refinement of microstructure and optimum mechanical properties were obtained for the material processed at lower temperatures, i.e. at ambient temperature and pre-heating at 200°C. Recovery structure processes occurring during deformation were observed in the alloy bonded with pre-heating at 300°C and therefore mechanical properties were lower than for the alloy bonded at lower temperatures.

In this study, 8009 heat resistant aluminum alloy was synthesized by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and tensile tests. The secondary phases in the microstructure of the spray-deposited alloy were examined. The tensile test results indicate that the spray-deposited 8009 alloy both at room and elevated temperature displays superior tensile strength due to the presence of the thermally stable Al12(Fe,V)3Si particles.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al-2.24Cu-1.42Mg-0.9Fe-0.9Ni alloy were studied using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and tensile tests. The results indicate that the microstructures of the as cast alloy involve α-Al matrix, Al/Al2CuMg eutectic structure, Al7Cu2Fe, Al7Cu4Ni and Al9FeNi compounds. The tensile test results indicate that the alloy at elevated temperature (200°C) displays superior tensile strength due to the presence of the thermally stable Al7Cu2Fe, Al7Cu4Ni and Al9FeNi compounds.

In this study, Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy was synthesized by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile tests. It can be seen that the microstructure of spray-deposited Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy is composed of the Zn/Al eutectoids and few compounds. The Zn/Al eutectoids were shown lamellar, particle and Chinese script morphologies. The compound phases in the microstructure of the spray-deposited alloy were examined. The property test results indicate that the spray-deposited Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy displays superior tensile strength.

A series of refractory high-entropy alloys VTaTiMoAlx with x=0,0.2,0.6,1.0 were designed and produced by vacuum arc melting. The effect of added Al elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties of refractory high-entropy alloys were investigated. The X-ray diffraction results showed that all the high-entropy alloys consist of simple BCC solid solution. SEM indicated that the microstructure of VTaTiMoAlx changes from equiaxial dendritic-like structure to typical dendrite structure with the addition of Al element. The composition of different regions in the alloys are obtained by energy dispersive spectroscopy and shows that Ta, Mo elements are enriched in the dendrite areas, and Al, Ti, V are enriched in inter-dendrite areas. The yield strength and compress strain reach maximum (σ0.2=1221MPa, ε=9.91%) at x=0, and decrease with the addition of Al element at room temperature. Vickers hardness of the alloys improves as the Al addition.
