In this work, the effect of double-ageing heat treatments on the microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour of a metastable β-titanium Ti-3.5Al-5Mo-4V alloy is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The double-ageing treatments are composed of low-temperature pre-ageing and high-temperature ageing, where the low-temperature pre-ageing is conducted at 300 °C or 350 °C for different times, and the high-temperature ageing is conducted at 500 °C for 8 h. The results show that the phase transformation sequence is altered with the time spent during the first ageing stage, the isothermal ω phase is precipitated in the pre-ageing process of the alloy at 300 °C and 350 °C with the change in the ageing time, and the ω phase is finally transformed into the α phase with the extension of pre-ageing time. The existence time of the ω phase is shortened as the pre-ageing temperature increases. The microhardness of the alloy increases with increasing pre-ageing time and temperature. Compared with single-stage ageing, the ω phase formed in the pre-ageing stage changes the response to subsequent high-temperature ageing. After the two-stage ageing treatment, the precipitation size of the α phase is obviously refined after the double-ageing treatment. A microhardness test shows that the microhardness of the two-stage aged alloy increases with extended pre-ageing time.

Annealing Heat Treatment

After two-stage annealing heat treatment process, the near β-Titanium alloys reveal a mixed microstructure containing lath-like α phase and finer acicular α phase in β matrix, leading to the improvement of strength-ductility balance. In this paper, the microstructural evolution and the behaviour of α precipitate during high temperature ageing process were investigated by SEM in a near β-Titanium alloy called Ti-55531.The relationship between α precipitates and the β grain orientation in high temperature was investigated by EBSD. The results show that the α-phase precipitated only at some places of the β grain boundaries at higher ageing temperature (~780 °C); the amount of grain boundary α increased with the decreased of the ageing temperature; after ageing at 720 °C for 45 min, we found that the α-phase precipitated not only at grain boundaries but also within the grains. It seems that the precipitation of grain boundary α is strongly influenced by β grain boundary energy which means that grain boundary α tends to form preferentially at high energy grain boundaries (high-angle grain boundaries); The α-phase precipitates more easily at the grain boundaries where the {110} plane of adjacent β grains have the same orientation.

It is well known that severe plastic deformation not only leads to strong grain refinement and material strengthening but also can drive phase transformations. A study of the fundamentals of α → ω phase transformations induced by high-pressure torsion (HPT) in Ti–Nb-based alloys is presented in the current work. Before HPT, a Ti–3wt.%Nb alloy was annealed at two different temperatures in order to obtain the α-phase state with different amounts of niobium. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were applied for the characterisation of phase transitions and evolution of the microstructure. A small amount of the β-phase was found in the initial states, which completely transformed into the ω-phase during the HPT process. During HPT, strong grain refinement in the α-phase took place, as did partial transformation of the α- into the ω-phase. Therefore, two kinds of ω-phase, each with different chemical composition, were obtained after HPT. The first one was formed from the β-phase, enriched in Nb, and the second one from the α-phase. It was also found that the transformation of the α-phase into the ω-phase depended on the Nb concentration in the α-Ti phase. The less Nb there was in the α-phase, the more of the α-phase was transformed into the ω-phase.

Martensitic β→α′(α″) transformation, β→ω transformation and eutectoid decomposition in a series of Ti-base alloys with d transition metals of Groups I, IV-VIII have been investigated using the techniques of X-ray diffraction, optical and transmission electron microscopy. Phase and structural information is given on the non-equilibrium and metastable modifications occurring in these alloys after quenching from high-temperature β-field and aging. The conditions of the orthorhombic α″-phase, ω-phase and metastable β-phase formation in binary titanium–base alloys with d-metals of V-VIII groups were investigated. It was established that the position of the alloying metal in the Periodic Table defines the presence or absence of the α″-phase in the alloy after quenching and the minimum concentration of the alloying metal necessary for formation of the α″-phase, ω-phase and metastable β-phase.

Temperature Regimes

Marzak and Oum-rabia wheat seeds were produced under three temperature regimes (20:15, 28:21, 36:29 °C) starting 10 d after anthesis through harvest. Nucleotide levels and respiratory activity of mitochondria isolated from imbibing embryos were determined. Mitochondrial structure from the radicle meristem region of imbibed embryos was examined under electron microscopy. Embryos from low-temperature treatments showed rapid accumulation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and higher energy levels and rates of oxygen uptake than embryos from high-temperature treatments. Embryos from medium-temperature treatments exhibited intermediate values. Parallel to these metabolic changes during early seed germination, results from electron microscopy revealed visible differences in mitochondrial structure. Mitochondria from the low-temperature regime were well developed with visible membranes and cristae; those from the high-temperature regime were degenerating. These results provide clear evidence of the influence of parent temperature conditions on the seed metabolism during early stages of germination.

AbstractReliability and durability are essential for optical fibres in both telecommunication networks and sensor applications. We report on stress-free accelerated ageing of modem telecommunication fibres in a temperature range from 60 °C to 150 °;C in dry air, relative humidity (rh) up to 85 %, and deionised water. Fibre fracture stress was measured by dynamic tensile testing according to IEC 60793-1-3 standard requirements. Ambient humidity effects on fibre fracture strength are shown. High temperature and relative humidity ageing behaviour of fibres and acrylate coatings is discussed. Fibre fracture strengths were fitted as functions of ageing time and ageing temperature using single process Arrhenius-based models. Acceleration factors can differ by several orders of magnitude, depending on the activation energy of the process. High temperatures damage acrylate coatings, which might deteriorate its adhesion to the fibre, thus introducing new ageing mechanisms not experienced under service conditions. Nevertheless, short time ageing at high temperature is useful for estimating relative lifetime of different products and for optimizing production process.

A two-stage cascade pre-cooling test bed was designed and set up to develop a -30°C /-60°C pre-cooling equipment. An internal heater exchanger and a condenser were set in low-temperature cycle. Theoretically the two stages can work stably at setting temperature and the low-temperature cycle can operate independently with aided starting of the high-temperature cycle. The experimental results indicate that the test bed can provide cooling capacity steadily at -46°C and -100°C respectively and the low-temperature cycle cannot operate alone for compressor overload protection. Based on the analysis, the possible reasons and detailed suggestions were put forward.

The solubility limit of copper in iron at temperature lower than 700°C is not precisely known because copper diffusion is too slow to reach an equilibrium with classical experimental techniques involving long range diffusion. However, fine precipitation of copper can lead to an equilibrium in a reasonable ageing time. Hence, coupling ThermoElectric Power and Small Angle X-ray Scattering techniques leads to a precise estimation of this solubility limit in the temperature range 500°C-700°C. Values obtained are confirmed by Tomographic Atom Probe and give results much higher than what is usually extrapolated from high temperature experiments.
