Deformation Surface

Laboratory-scale sheets of 5182-type AlMgMn alloys with varying Mg and Mn contents and additions of different amounts of Zn, Cu, Zr and Er were studied. The sheets were produced using two different cold-rolling degrees and two soft-annealing treatment procedures: air-circulated furnace annealing at 370 °C with subsequent furnace cooling, and salt-bath annealing with subsequent water quenching. Mechanical properties and deformation surface quality were studied via tensile tests with simultaneous visual surface characterization. The influence of the chemical composition and the processing route on grain size, mechanical properties, and surface quality is discussed in the study. A reduction in the Mg content improves the surface quality after plastic deformation, but at the expense of the mechanical properties. The results suggest the presence of an optimum Mn content in terms of optical appearance and mechanical properties. Adding Zr largely inhibits recrystallization, which is reflected in a textured microstructure. Adding Er affects neither the surface quality nor the mechanical properties. Specific combinations of Zn or Cu addition, cold-rolling degree, and heat treatment generate significant improvements in the mechanical and optical properties. In general, annealing at high temperature with subsequent quenching leads to enhanced surface quality and mechanical properties, and adding Zn enables further noteworthy improvements.

In order to guide atmosphere annealing process in industry, the effect of atmosphere and holding times on the surface quality and mechanical properties of the cold-rolling plate of Fe-42% Ni (4J42) was studied. It is found that in the laboratory, surface qualities of all the samples annealed at different annealing condition are all good enough. When the ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen is below 70%:30%, at different holding time, with increasing of H2 proportion, 4J42’s tensile strength and yield strength all increases, and the hardness declines. And except H2:N2=70%:30, when holding time is less than or equal to 1.2min, at different ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen, holding time will influence 4J42’s mechanical properties little. So combine requires in industry with the experiment results, it can be concluded that for 4J42 alloy, annealing at atmosphere of hydrogen nitrogen ratio is less than 70%:30% for about 1.2min is appropriate to atmosphere annealing process in industry.

Ods Steels

In this work, new oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steels have been produced by powder metallurgy using an alternative processing route and characterized afterwards by comparing them with a base ODS steel with Y2O3 and Ti additions. Different alloying elements like boron (B), which is known as an inhibitor of grain growth obtained by pinning grain boundaries, and complex oxide compounds (Y-Ti-Zr-O) have been introduced to the 14Cr prealloyed powder by using mechanical alloying (MA) and were further consolidated by spark employing plasma sintering (SPS). Techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the obtained microstructures. Micro-tensile tests and microhardness measurements were carried out at room temperature to analyze the mechanical properties of the differently developed microstructures, which was considered to result in a better strength in the ODS steels containing the complex oxide Y-Ti-Zr-O. In addition, small punch (SP) tests were performed to evaluate the response of the material under high temperatures conditions, under which promising mechanical properties were attained by the materials containing Y-Ti-Zr-O (14Al-X-ODS and 14Al-X-ODS-B) in comparison with the other commercial steel, GETMAT. The differences in mechanical strength can be attributed to the precipitate’s density, nature, size, and to the density of dislocations in each ODS steel.

State 1

Pre-cold rolling with the reduction of 15% was employed on Mg-8Gd-3Y-0.5Zr (wt.%) (GW83K) alloy in different initial states: as-extruded (state 1) and extruded followed by annealing (state 2) with the aim to investigate the effects on microstructure and mechanical properties. Microstructure observation revealed that there are more amounts of mechanical twins in the alloy in state 2 than that of the alloy in state 1 after cold rolling, which indicates the different deformation mechanisms. Further investigation through EBSD has elucidated the grain boundary structure and types of twins in the alloys. Pre-cold deformation greatly promotes the age hardening response and the peak aging time at 200°C was found to be nearly 12h for the alloy in both state 1 and state 2, which were about 24h and 80h less than that of their non-deformed counterparts, respectively. Tensile tests at temperatures lower than 250°C showed that the alloy in state 1 has a predominant mechanical property than that of the alloy in state 2, while at 300°C, it displayed a reverse tendency.

Fracture Morphologies

Copper foils with 91% cold rolled deformation annealed at temperature between 140°C and 170 °C.The microstructures were observed by EBSD. The mechanical properties were measured at room temperature by tensile test machine and the fracture morphologies observed by SEM. After annealed at 150 °C, recrystallization begins to occur, while the elongation increases evidently and tensile strength decreases sharply. When the temperature rises to 170 °C, recrystallization is complete and the grain starts to grow. When the foils are annealed at 140 °C, it exhibits a strong cold rolling textures characterized by Brass {011}<211> and Cu {112}<111>. After annealed at 170 °C, there are olny weak Brass {011}<211> texture.

The purpose of this work is to experimentally investigate the effect of annealing treatment on the formability and springback at room temperature for magnesium alloy AZ31 sheets, which were produced by rolling through reversible warm mill after twin roll strip casting. Microstructure evolutions were investigated using OM after annealing at temperature raging from 350°C to 450°C. Tensile tests at room temperature were performed to show the influence of annealing treatment on mechanical properties. In order to evaluate the formability in stamping processes, the Erichsen cupping tests were carried out and the Erichsen number were measured. As for springback, the V shaped air bending tests were achieved and the angle changes after springback were collected. The experimental results showed that Erichsen numbers increased by the annealing treatment, while springback angle decreased.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The Ti-6.5Al-2Sn-4Zr-1.5Mo-2Nb-0.25Fe-0.2Si (wt%) alloy is a novel two-phase high temperature alloy for short-term application. The effects of different heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated through electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), optical microcopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and tensile tests at room temperature and 650°C. Subjected to the annealing treatment at α+β region (1010 °C/2 h, FC to 990 °C+990 °C/2 h, AC), the microstructure was composed of bimodal structure, which consists of equiaxed primary α (αp) phase and lamellar transformed β (βt) structure. As a strong β stabilizer, the content of Fe in α phase is much less than that in β phase. Annealing at β region (1040 °C/2 h, AC) resulted in the formation of widmannstatten structure, consisting of coarse raw β grain and secondary α phase precipitated on the β grain. With respect to the tensile property, different heat-treated alloys obtained similar strength. However, widmannstatten structure was characterized by lower plasticity, with the elongation only half that of bimodal structure. The fracture characteristics at room temperature for the alloy with bimodal structure and widmannstatten structure are dominated by ductile fracture and cleavage fracture, respectively.

The effects of cold rolling, solid solution, aging and annealing treatment on Pt-0.7Ti microalloy were investigated in this study. The microstructures of Pt-0.7Ti microalloy and the precipitated ordered phase Pt8Ti were observed and analyzed by OM, TEM, XRD. The mechanical properties of the alloy were evaluated Vicker micro-hardness. The results showed that micro amount of Ti was an effective element for solid-solution strengthening of Pt, the micro-hardness of 97% deformation for ST and ST+AG samples increased to 214HVand 224HV, respectively, which almost are double that of pure Pt. Micro-amount of long range ordered phase Pt8Ti was precipitated during the heat treatment, but the effect of order hardening in Pt-0.7Ti microalloy was not obvious. The microhardness by large rolling deformation for quenched samples almost unchanged after an annealing below 500°C for 1h, but decreased significantly at 700°C, and the recrystallization temperature was risen by 200°C than that of pure Pt.

ABSTRACTIt has been reported [1] that microwave radiation can enhance many of the mechanical properties of Bombyx mori silkworm cocoon silk, as measured in constant strain rate tensile tests to failure and in stress relaxation tests. The consequences of microwave radiation will affect decisions about the use of silk in settings subjected to significant microwave exposure – for example, as a reinforcing fiber in an epoxy matrix composite that may be microwave cured, or as a component in aircraft radomes.There are two possible mechanisms by which microwave radiation may affect a material [2]: (i) the radiation may enable chemical and/or microstructural changes – and therefore property changes – in the same way that conventional heating would, or (ii) the high heating rates that are achievable by microwaving may selectively favor changes that would be masked under conventional conditions, where heating rates are low enough to give preference to changes that have a lower activation energy. Here we explore the former possibility for silk.We characterized several mechanical properties of degummed and subsequently annealed B. mori silk, and compared them to the corresponding properties of degummed B. mori silk that was not annealed. The annealing treatment was carried out at 140 °C for 7 hours (conditions that optimally increased crystal size in an unrelated study of B. mori silk [3]), and then the fibers were allowed to cool gradually to room temperature over the course of an hour. Comparison of mechanical properties revealed no differences between the materials that we tested. Thus, for annealed silk, we do not observe the enhancements that can be achieved by microwaving. We conclude that in cases where microwaving affects the properties of silk, those changes are not a simple consequence of annealing by the microwaves.
