Effect of Fe addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Ti49Ni51 alloy were investigated. The experimental results shows the microstructures of Ti48.5Ni51Fe0.5 and Ti48Ni51Fe1 alloys are mainly composed of TiNi matrix phase (body-centered cubic, BCC), Ti3Ni4 and Ni2.67Ti1.33 phases; the microstructure of Ti47Ni51Fe2 alloy is mainly composed of BCC TiNi, Ti3Ni4, Ni2.67Ti1.33, and Ni3Ti phases; the microstructure of the Ti45Ni51Fe4 alloy is mainly composed of TiNi, Ti3Ni4 and Ni3Ti phases. The Ni3Ti nanocrystalline precipitates at the adjacent position of Ni2.67Ti1.33 phase. The Ti48.5Ni51Fe0.5 and Ti48Ni51Fe1 alloys have high yield strength and fracture strength, and can be as the engineering materials with excellent mechanical properties. In addition, the Ti48.5Ni51Fe0.5 alloy with the low elastic modulus and large elastic energy is also a good biomedical alloy of hard tissue implants. The fracture mechanism of the four alloys is mainly cleavage fracture or quasi-cleavage fracture, supplemented by ductile fracture. The experimental data obtained provide the valuable references in application of as-cast alloys and heat-treated samples in the future.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of rapidly solidified β-type Ti–Fe–Sn–Mo alloys with high specific strength and low elastic modulus were investigated. The results show that the phases of Ti–Fe–Sn–Mo alloys are composed of the β-Ti, α-Ti, and TiFe phases; the volume fraction of TiFe phase decreases with the increase of Mo content. The high Fe content results in the deposition of TiFe phase along the grain boundary of the Ti phase. The Ti75Fe19Sn5Mo1 alloy exhibits the high yield strength, maximum compressive strength, large plastic deformation, high specific strength, high Vickers hardness, and large toughness value, which is a superior new engineering material. The elastic modulus (42.1 GPa) of Ti75Fe15Sn5Mo5 alloy is very close to the elastic modulus of human bone (10–30 GPa), which indicating that the alloy can be used as a good biomedical alloy. In addition, the large H/Er and H3/Er2 values of Ti75Fe19Sn5Mo1 alloy indicate the good wear resistance and long service life as biomedical materials.

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.

Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 was prepared by arc melting and solidified in situ by suction casting into 2–5-mm-diameter rods under various cooling rates (200–2000 K/s). The microstructure was investigated along the length of the rods by electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and mechanical properties were investigated under compression. The microstructure of differently prepared specimens consists of macroscopic spherical shape chemically inhomogeneous regions together with a low volume fraction of randomly distributed CuZr B2 phase embedded in a 2–7 nm size clustered “glassy-martensite” matrix. The as-cast specimens show high yield strength (1721 MPa), pronounced work-hardening behavior up to 2116 MPa and large fracture strain up to 12.1–15.1%. The fracture strain decreases with increasing casting diameter. The presence of chemical inhomogenities and nanoscale “glassy-martensite” features are beneficial for improving the inherent ductility of the metallic glass.
