Thermally hardened alloys based on iron (50 Cr – V – N type steel), titanium (VT-14), and aluminum (D16) were subjected to deformation by gas extrusion with local heating in the mode of deformation-thermal hardening with high degrees of deformation 90 % or more to obtain a thin wire at the output. Gas extrusion was performed at various combinations of processing parameters — gas pressure, deformation temperature, extrusion speed. The wire deformed under various combinations of processing parameters was cooled in air, subjected to tempering or aging and a tear test. The mechanical properties obtained as a result of the tests were compared with the data on the mechanical properties of the initial, undeformed alloys, heat-treated and non-heat-treated. On all gas-extruded alloys, the mechanical properties exceeded the initial ones both in strength and plasticity. The combination of gas extrusion parameters (gas pressure, deformation temperature, extrusion speed) has a decisive influence on the combination of strength and ductility of alloys treated by gas extrusion.

This work is to study the influence of heat treatment on microstrudture and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy prepared by solid -state recycling. AZ31B magnesium alloy chips were recycled by hot extruding. Three different heat treatments were conducted for recycled alloy. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the recycled specimen and heat treated specimen were investigated. 300°C×2h annealing specimen exhibits finer grain due to static recrystallization, and microstructure of 400°C×2h annealing specimen becomes more coarse. 300°C×2h annealing treatment improves obviously strength and ductility of recycled alloy. Ultimate tensile strength of alloy decreases and elongation to failure increases after 400°C×2h annealing. Grain size, dislocation density and bonding of chips have an effect on the elongation of recycled materials. 190°C×8h ageing has no influence on microstructure and mechanical properties of recycled alloy.

The objective of the study was to optimize the strength and ductility values of the 4330M steel. Optimization was conducted through different types of heat treatments. Tensile testing, hardness testing, optical microscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the mechanical properties and microstructure of the as-received and the heat treated samples. The alloy was provided from two vendors; vendor H and vendor S. Results showed that by increasing the tempering temperatures, strength values decreases, while ductility values remain unchanged. Vendor H samples had higher strength values and much finer grain structure which was revealed only at 5000x magnification.

Magnesium Addition

The effect of magnesium addition up to 0.9 wt.% on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-9Si-0.35Mn alloy has been investigated in both as-cast and heat treated conditions. Generally, Mg addition increases the heat treatability and strength of the alloys at the expense of the lower ductility. High levels of magnesium addition, causes the formation of large and brittle intermetallics, a slight increase in porosity and hence, a decrease in ultimate tensile strength and ductility of the cast alloys. T6 heat treatment increases the strength of the alloys up to 80 percent compared to as-cast samples. Among the studied compositions, heat treated Al-9Si-0.35Mn-0.25Mg alloy, has the maximum value of quality index and can be regarded as a promising material with the optimum mechanical properties for industrial applications.

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can achieve low-cost, short-cyclemanufacturing of titanium alloys and has promising application prospects. In this paper, themicrostructure and mechanical properties of both as-deposited and heat-treated Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si(TC11) alloys fabricated byWAAM were investigated. The results show that continuousgrain boundary α(αGB) phase and basket-weave microstructure can be observed in the as-depositedTC11 alloy. And the as-deposited alloy exhibits high ductility but low strength. After the annealingtreatment, the microstructure becomes thicker and the strength becomes lower. Accordingly, a duplexheat treatment near β transus was designed. We can observed that the content of α phase in themicrostructure was gradually decreased, and the continuous αGB was broken gradually. As thetemperature increases, the strength and ductility of TC11 alloy increase first and then decrease, andthe best comprehensive mechanical properties are achieved at 970°C.

Ni-rich alloys based on approximate ternary composition Ni-8Mo-15A1 (at%) are presently under investigation in an attempt to study the contribution, if any, of the profusion of Mo-rich NixMo metastable compounds that these alloys contain to their excellent mechanical properties. One of the alloys containing metastable NixMo precipitates is RSR 197 of composition Ni-8.96Mo-15.06A1-1.98Ta-.015Yt. The alloy was prepared at Pratt and Whitney Government Products Division, West Palm Beach, Florida, from rapidly solidified powder. The powder was canned under inert conditions and extruded as rod at 1315°C. The as-extruded rod, after air cooling, was solution treated at 1315°C for two hours, air cooled, and heat treated for one hour at 815°C, followed again by air cooling.

Average Grain Size

Superalloy René 77 is very wide used for turbine blades, turbine disks of aircraft engines which work up to 1050°C. These elements are generally produced by the investment casting method. Turbine blades produced by conventional precision casting methods have coarse and inhomogeneous grain structure. Such a material often does not fulfil basic requirements, which concern mechanical properties for the stuff used in aeronautical engineering. The incorporation of controlled grain size improved mechanical properties. This control of grain size in the casting operation was accomplished by the control of processing parameters such as casting temperature, mould preheating temperature, and the use of grain nucleates in the face of the mould. For nickel and cobalt based superalloys, it was found that cobalt aluminate (CoAl2O4) has the best nucleating effect. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of the inoculant’s content (cobalt aluminate) in the surface layer of the ceramic mould on the microstructure and mechanical properties at high temperature of nickel based superalloy René 77. For this purpose, the ceramic moulds were made with different concentration of cobalt aluminate in the primary slurry was from 0 to 10% mass. in zirconium flour. Stepped and cylindrical samples were casted for microstructure and mechanical examinations. The average grain size of the matrix ( phase), was determined on the stepped samples. The influence of surface modification on the grain size of up to section thickness was considered. The microstructure investigations with the use of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) enable to examine the influence of the surface modification on the morphology of ’ phase and carbides precipitations. Verification of the influence of CoAl2O4 on the mechanical properties of castings were investigated on the basis of results obtained form creep tests.

New AlxCo50−xCu50−xMnx (x = 2.5, 10, and 15 atomic %, at%) immiscible medium-entropy alloys (IMMEAs) were designed based on the cobalt-copper binary system. Aluminum, a strong B2 phase former, was added to enhance yield strength and ultimate tensile strength, while manganese was added for additional solid solution strengthening. In this work, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the designed Al-Co-Cu-Mn system are examined. The alloys exhibit phase separation into dual face-centered cubic (FCC) phases due to the miscibility gap of the cobalt-copper binary system with the formation of CoAl-rich B2 phases. The hard B2 phases significantly contribute to the strength of the alloys, whereas the dual FCC phases contribute to elongation mitigating brittle fracture. Consequently, analysis of the Al-Co-Cu-Mn B2-strengthened IMMEAs suggest that the new alloy design methodology results in a good combination of strength and ductility.

This study evaluated the microstructure, grain size, and mechanical properties of the alloy 800H rotary friction welds in as-welded and post-weld heat-treated conditions. The standards for the alloy 800H not only specify the composition and mechanical properties but also the minimum grain sizes. This is because these alloys are mostly used in creep resisting applications. The dynamic recrystallization of the highly strained and plasticized material during friction welding resulted in the fine grain structure (20 ± 2 µm) in the weld zone. However, a small increase in grain size was observed in the heat-affected zone of the weldment with a slight decrease in hardness compared to the base metal. Post-weld solution heat treatment (PWHT) of the friction weld joints increased the grain size (42 ± 4 µm) in the weld zone. Both as-welded and post-weld solution heat-treated friction weld joints failed in the heat-affected zone during the room temperature tensile testing and showed a lower yield strength and ultimate tensile strength than the base metal. A fracture analysis of the failed tensile samples revealed ductile fracture features. However, in high-temperature tensile testing, post-weld solution heat-treated joints exhibited superior elongation and strength compared to the as-welded joints due to the increase in the grain size of the weld metal. It was demonstrated in this study that the minimum grain size requirement of the alloy 800H friction weld joints could be successfully met by PWHT with improved strength and elongation, especially at high temperatures.
