Abstract The results of the selected mechanical properties i.e. ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield stress (YS), elongation (EL), reduction of area (RA), hardness (HV) and impact strength (KCV) of the common, S235JR grade steel, are presented in the paper. A strong relationship between the above mentioned properties and cooling rates after hot rolling of rods, made of this steel, was found. Additionally, the possibility of further enhancing of mechanical properties (UTS and YS) by the controlled, dynamic cold working, was shown. The use of such deformation, through changes in the microstructure allows for the upper yield stress (YS) increase - app. 10% and ultimate tensile strength UTS - app. 5%. Simultaneously, very high indicators of plasticity (EL, RA) and impact strength (KCV) are retained, as they were immediately after the rolling. The possibility of improving the mechanical properties of rods made of this steel grade has a great technological and commercial importance for its manufacturers, as well as for their final users.

This work aims to determine the Kearns texture parameters and evaluate on their basis the elastic moduli, mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength, conditional yield stress), as well as damageability parameters of the sheets commercial titanium (CT-grade 1: 0.04% Fe; 0.015% C; 0.05% N 0.05% c; 0.009% H)  as delivered after rolling and annealing at 840°C (original sheet) and further alternating bending (AB) in the amount of 0.5; 1, 3 and 5 cycles. Damageability parameters characterizing damage accumulation were determined from the elastic modulus change after the above-mentioned number of AB cycles relative to the values ​​of the elastic modulus in different directions of the original sheet of the studied titanium. The elastic constants of the single crystal and the Kearns texture parameters were used to estimate the elastic modulus in the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD) of the original sheet, and sheets after an above number of AB cycles. The deviation of the calculated and experimental values ​​of the elastic modulus did not exceed 5%. The deviation of the calculated and experimental values of the ultimate tensile strength and yield stress in the RD and TD both in the initial state and after the corresponding number cycles of the AB did not exceed 10%.

Metal components produced by additive manufacturing processes usually have inferior properties and performances as compared with the counterparts by the traditional forming and machining processes. To close the gap, the metal matrix can be strengthened by adding reinforcement particles in additive manufacturing processes. This research presents the fabrication of nano-TiC reinforced Inconel 718 composites using selective laser melting (SLM). Tensile and wear performance tests are conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the formed composites. It is discovered that the composites exhibit improved mechanical properties in terms of ultimate tensile strength and yield stress. Compared with the pure Inconel 718 specimens by SLM, the ultimate tensile strength and yield stress of the reinforced Inconel 718 increase by 207 MPa and 204 MPa, respectively, with 0.5 wt.% addition of nano-TiC particle. Smaller increases are observed with 0.25 wt.% and 1.0 wt.% nano-TiC additions. On the other hand, the addition of nano-TiC particles decreases the ductility of Inconel 718. To investigate the strengthening mechanism of nano reinforcement particles in SLM, the microstructures with different levels of nano-TiC particles are observed. The results indicate that the microstructure of Inconel 718 is remarkably refined by the TiC particles, and the reinforcement particle significantly impede the growth of columnar grain in the solidification process.

The RHEOMETALTM process is a commercially used semi-solid process for production of high integrity cast components. The process differs from most other semi-solid casting processes in that temperature control is not necessary during processing and large amount of slurry with required solid fraction can be quickly produced. The simplicity of this process has led to a large commercial interest during the last year. This work is based on an investigation regarding the variation of as-cast mechanical properties for secondary Al-Si based alloys (~2.5 % Cu) with a Si content varying from 4.55 to 8.90 % using the RHEOMETALTM process. The purpose was to find the most suitable Al-Si alloy for rheocasting, in comparison with the common HPDC-alloy A380 (EN-AC46000). It was found that lower Si containing alloys exhibited better elongation but slightly lower yield strength. The alloy containing 5.39 wt% Si showed the highest ultimate tensile strength in this investigation. The lower Si containing alloys also demonstrated better feedability in the rheocasting process, which is contrary to what normally is found for normal liquid casting processes. Based on the results in this investigation it is recommended to use an alloy containing about 5-7 wt% Si for rheocasting purposes.

Abstract Reinforcement particle size is very important for the performance of metal ceramic composites. This work studied the influence of B4C particle size on the mechanical properties of Al matrix layered composites. These composites were fabricated using a simplified semicontinuous casting and hot-rolling process. To obtain an optimized filling structure of particles, Horsfield filling principle was applied to determine the size and mass fraction of B4C particles. Four sizes of B4C particles were used with various combinations. The results showed that with the increase of the B4C particle size and fine B4C mass fraction, the hardness of the composites decreases whereas the impact strength and ultimate tensile strength increase. The residual stress at interface should be responsible for the variation in properties. Besides, the interparticle distance also contributes to the change in impact strength and ultimate tensile strength.

The paper presents the results of research of the structural blocking influence in Al-Mg sheet aluminum alloys on the change in mechanical properties and the stamp ability after cold working and annealing. The study was provided on sheet billets of AlMg1, AlMg5 and AlMg6 alloys containing respectively 1, 5 and 6 mass.% Mg. The initial thickness of the blanks is 2.5 mm. The blanks were cold rolled with a reduction rate of 30%. To eliminate the cold working hardening alloys were subjected to annealing at temperatures of 380 and 420°C for 1 hour. The charts of tensile strength, yield stress, and elongation change are plotted, depending on the state of the samples. Stamping was evaluated by the stamping ratio σ0.2/σb. To analyze the alloys’ grain structure blocking, the change in the size of the coherent scattering areas was estimated on the basis of X-ray diffraction studies. It is established that annealing leads to a significant decrease in the tensile strength, yield stress and elongation growth of alloys AlMg1, AlMg5 and AlMg6 sheet samples in the annealing temperature interval 380...420 ̊С. Despite the high plasticity of the AlMg1 alloy, it has lower stamping characteristics than alloys with higher magnesium content (AlMg5 and AlMg6). The yield stress of alloys decreases with increasing of annealing temperature, which indicates an increase in their stamping ability after annealing. The change in the coherent scattering areas sizes in alloys depends on the magnesium content. With an increase in the magnesium content, the coherent scattering area size increase with the annealing temperature. For an AlMg1 alloy, annealing after cold rolling does not lead to a change in the coherent scattering area size.

Effect of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature and subsequent annealing at temperatures ranging from 450 to 600°C on microstructure, mechanical properties and electric conductivity of an Al-8%Ce alloy was examined It was shown that Al4Ce-type eutectic particles having plate-like shape break under ECAP; distribution of the particles appears to be more homogeneous. ECAP leads to about two-fold increase in yield stress (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS); ductility and electric conductivity decrease significantly. Under following annealing, the spheroidizing and coagulation of Al4Ce-type particles occur extensively resulting in decreased strength and increased electric conductivity and ductility.

The tensile properties of a normalized-and-tempered 2-1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel were determined from 25 to 566° C and the strain rate 2.67 × 10−6 to 144/s. The specimens were taken from a 1-in. thick plate and had a microstructure that was essentially 100 percent bainite. Except at 25 and 566° C, the 0.2 percent yield stress was little affected by strain rate; at 25 and 566° C, the yield stress increased with increasing strain rate. At a constant strain rate, the yield stress decreased with increasing temperature. The effect of strain rate and temperature on the ultimate tensile strength was somewhat more complicated. A strength peak that resulted from dynamic strain aging was observed in the ultimate tensile strength-temperature relationship. The position of these peaks moved to higher temperatures with increasing strain rate. Total elongation and reduction of area were relatively constant over the range of test variables, except at 566° C, where they increased with decreasing strain rate. However, uniform elongation decreased with decreasing strain rate at 510 and 566° C, dropping to 1 and 0.6 percent, respectively.

The present study deals with the effect of pre-deformation technique of AA2519 alloy (Al–5.64Cu–0.33Mn–0.23Mg–0.15Zr–0.11Ti–0.09V–0.08Fe–0.01Si (wt. %)) under T8 tempers, on condition that intermediate strains are equal. After undergoing T87 by pre-stretching and peak ageing the alloy demonstrates the yield stress, ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of 425.4±2.4 MPa, 475±2.4 MPa, 12.1±0.4%, respectively. The 7% pre-straining by rolling leads to-5% decrease in yield stress, practically the same ultimate tensile strength and-20% decrease in ductility. This effect can be ascribed to more homogeneous distribution of dislocations which act as heterogeneous nucleation sites for the θ′-phase precipitation. In addition to precipitates of the Al–Cu family (θ′′ and θ′), Ω-phase plates on {111}α habit plane was observed. The effect of pre-straining prior to ageing on the precipitation behavior and its relation with mechanical properties of the AA2519 is considered.

Co-Ni alloys in which Co, Ni, Cr and Mo are principal elements, exhibit an impressive combination of high strength, high toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, the effects of cold-rolled combined with the heat-treatment ranged from 673 to 973 K from 1hour to 10 hours on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Co-Ni alloys were investigated systematically. The relations between the aging temperature and mechanical properties were concluded. The initial ultimate tensile strength of 790 MPa increased to 1808 MPa by cold rolled 80 pct. After aging the cold-rolled alloy (80 pct ) at temperature 773K for 4hours, the ultimate tensile strength and the hardness reached to 2220MPa and 759(HV), respectively. It is found that the material was hardened by the cold working and aging which provided the second hardening. However, TEM observations and X-ray diffractions suggested that no structural change could be found. The cold deformation introduced platelets of a few atomic layers in thickness less than 100 nm, which were identified as stacking faults. A high density of nanoplatelets and dislocations, piled up in the vicinity of twin plate strengthened materials. The aging treatment provided the second major source of strengthening after cold-working (and only after cold-working) by the formation of secondary twins. The ultimate strength resulted from that the intersection of deformation twins and secondary twins blocking the dislocation movement.

Fumed silica particles (SiO2) were directly added into poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) by melt mixing process. The effects of amount of fumed silica particles on mechanical properties of PBS/fumed silica composites, those are tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength as well as flexural strength, were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties decreased with increasing fumed silica loading (0-3 wt%). In order to increase polymer-filler interaction, fumed silica was treated with 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPMS), and its structure was analyzed by FT-IR spectrophotometry. The PBS/modified was found to possess better tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength and flexural strength that those of PBS/fumed silica composites.
