This paper reviews the phase structures and oxidation kinetics of complex Ti-Al alloys at oxidation temperatures in the range of 600–1000 °C. The mass gain and parabolic rate constants of the alloys under isothermal exposure at 100 h (or equivalent to cyclic exposure for 300 cycles) is compared. Of the alloying elements investigated, Si appeared to be the most effective in improving the oxidation resistance of Ti-Al alloys at high temperatures. The effect of alloying elements on the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys is also discussed. Significant improvement of the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys by element additions has been observed through the formation of new phases, grain refinement, and solid solution strengthening.

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.

The Cu-Cr and Cu-Cr-Ti alloy plates were prepared by vacuum melting and plastic deformation. The effect of slight Ti element on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-Cr alloy was discussed. The result shows that Cr particles with spherical shape precipitated from Cu matrix after aging. Plenty Ti atoms dissolved in the vicinity of Cr particles and there were still parts of solid solution Ti atoms in other regions. Improvements in peak hardness and softening resistance were achieved with the addition of Ti element in Cu-Cr alloy. The addition of 0.1 wt.% Ti element makes Cu-Cr alloy possess tensile strength of 565 MPa and hardness of 185.9 HV after aging at 450 °C for 120 min, which can be attributed to multiple strengthening mechanisms, i.e. work hardening, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

The solidification and tensile deformation behaviors of rheo-cast AZ91-Sn alloys were revealed to study the effects of Sn alloying on improvement of AZ91 alloy’s mechanical properties. Two kinds of Mg17Al12 phases precipitated from the supersaturated magnesium matrix during rheo-solidification were observed: coarse discontinuous precipitates (DP) at grain boundaries and small-sized continuous precipitates (CP) inside grains. With increasing Sn content, the amount of Mg17Al12 phases was increased whilst the amount of Al atoms in the matrix was decreased. Due to the higher melting point of Mg2Sn than Mg17Al12, Mg2Sn precipitated earlier from the melt, and therefore provided heterogeneous nuclei for Mg17Al12 during the eutectic reaction. Due to grain refinement and solid solution strengthening, AZ91-2.4Sn (mass%) gained 52% increase in tensile strength and 93% increase in elongation compared with pure AZ91 alloy. The higher-density twins and microcracks induced by Sn alloying relaxed stress concentration during plastic deformation, so the fracture mode was transformed from cleavage fracture of pure AZ91 alloy to ductile fracture of AZ91-Sn alloys.

ABSTRACTIt was experimentally shown that the achievement of a high deforming stress level due to dispersion hardening and solid solution strengthening of FCC single crystals with a low stacking-fault energy leads to the deformation mechanism changing from slip to twinning, the dependence of mechanical properties on a crystal orientation and a sign of applied stresses. During deformation by twinning at T<150–300K effects of pseudoelasticity associated with elastic twinning is observed.

In this research, effects of Zn and Cu content on microstructure, mechanical properties, electric and thermal conductivity of the as-extruded Al-x(Zn+0.5Cu) alloys were investigated. As the content of Zn and Cu increased, the area ratio of Al2Cu intermetallic compounds increased. After homogenization treatment and extrusion process, most of Al2Cu intermetallic compounds was disappeared due to solution in Al matrix of Cu atoms. As the (Zn+0.5Cu) content increased from 1 to 2 wt.%, the average grain size decreased remarkably from 645 to 227 μm due to the dynamic recrystallization caused by the solute Zn and Cu atoms during the extrusion. With increasing Zn and Cu additions, the thermal conductivity was decreased from 225 (x = 1) to 208 (x = 2) and 183 W/mK (x = 4) due to electric scattering by solute Zn and Cu atoms. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the as-extruded Al-x(1Zn+0.5Cu) alloys improved remarkably from 77 (x = 1) to 142 MPa (x = 4) as Zn and Cu content increased, and the elongation increased from 30 to 33%. This improvement in the strength resulted from the grain refinement and solid solution strengthening due to the solute Zn and Cu atoms. The Zn and Cu addition in Al alloy played an important role in thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.

ABSTRACTSubstantial solid solution strengthening of GaAs by In acting as InAs4 units has recently been predicted. This strengthening could account for the reduction of dislocation density in GaAs single crystals grown from the melt. High temperature hardness measurements up to 700ºC have been carried out on (100) GaAs and Ga0.9975 In0.0025 As wafers. Results show a significant strengthening effect in In—doped GaAs even at concentration levels of about 0.2 wt%. A temperature independent flow stress region is observed for both these alloys. The In—doped GaAs shows ahigher plateau stress level compared to the undoped GaAs. The results are consistent with the solid solution strengthening model.

The high strength and low cost Ti-Fe based alloy was produced by double vacuum induction melting method followed by hot deformation. The microstructure has been investigated by Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The microstructure of as-forged alloy is composed of α and β phase without the precipitation of TiFe intermetallic compound. The Ti-Fe-Al alloys show good comprehensive mechanical properties, demonstrating ultimate tensile strength of 1100MPa and elongation above10%. The results indicate the Fe is a good candidate for solution strengthening and simultaneously increasing ductility in titanium alloys. Effect of the Fe and Al elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties have been discussed.

Solution Strengthening

With different heat treatment, the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloy were investigated. It can be concluded that heat treatment has great effect on mechanical properties of ZK60. With artificial aging after extruding, the precipitation of the second phase from the supersaturated solid solution significantly improved mechanical properties. It can greatly increase yield strength of ZK60 alloy, while the tensile strength has little change. For the combination of solid solution strengthening and age hardening, two opposite factors must be considered. On one hand, the solid solution strengthening and the later precipitation strengthening is good for alloy’s strength; on the other hand, the properties decrease as the grains grew under high temperature for a long time during solution heating.
