The corrosion resistance (exfoliation corrosion and inter-granular corrosion) and mechanical properties (strength and hardness) of a high-alloying Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy were improved by the synergistic effect of Ce addition and aging treatment. Ce addition promotes the morphology change of grain boundary precipitates from continuous form to discontinuous form at T6 temper. But the Cu content in grain boundary precipitates became much lower than that in Ce-free alloy, owing to a large amount of Cu being trapped in AlCuCe phase. Hence retrogression and re-aging (RRA) treatment were then adopted. The Cu content in grain boundary precipitates was improved, which can be attributed to the removal of Cu from solid solution during high temperature aging and its subsequent incorporation into grain boundary precipitates. In addition, the size and the distribution discontinuity of the grain boundary precipitates can be further increased and the main intra-grain phases of RRA alloy are still fine η′ phase similar to T6 temper. Therefore, the alloy at RRA temper obtains the optimal corrosion resistance without loss of high strength.

Due to high strength, perfect plasticity and higher hardness, bulk metallic glass (BMG) has been widely concerned. The work used the vaccum casting of copper-formed mold to establish (Ti36.1Zr33.2Ni5.8Be24.9)100-xCux, where x = 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Thermal properties, mechanical behaviors of compression, and corrosion resistance in the proposed compounds were investigated. The results show that the increase in Cu content enhances the heat resistance and the forming of glass of BMGs, small amount of fine dendritic crystals presents in BMG when x = 3, and the best corrosion resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained when x = 7, the yield strength, fracture strength and plastic strain can reach 1496.15 MPa, 2003.44 MPa and 19.19%, respectively.

Abstract Allegheny Stainless Type 205 is a chromium-manganese nitrogen austenitic high strength stainless steel that maintains its low magnetic permeability even after large amounts of cold working. Annealed Type 205 has higher mechanical properties than any of the conventional austenitic steels-and for any given strength level, the ductility of Type 205 is comparable to that of Type 301. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-640. Producer or source: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation. Originally published March 1996, revised October 1997.

Abstract JESSOP JS17Cr-4Ni is a martensitic, precipitation-hardening chromium-nickel-copper stainless steel. It provides an excellent combination of high strength and hardness, short-time low-temperature precipitation hardening and good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600 F (316 C). Its corrosion resistance is quite good but inferior to lower strength grades produced for corrosion-resistance applications. JS17Cr-4Ni is used widely for critical applications in the aerospace, chemical, food processing and other industries. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: SS-412. Producer or source: Jessop Steel Company.

In this study, the effect of various aging treatment (T6 and T7 treatment) on the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and the microstructure of an Al-7.5Zn-1.3Mg-1.4Cu-0.12Zr alloy has been investigated. The results show that with elevating the aging treatment temperatures, the aging response rate is greatly accelerated. When T6 temper is performed at 140°C for 12h, as compared to peak aging for 24h at 120°C, the UTS and the corresponding Elongation values keep the same level, whereas the TYS and the electrical conductivity obviously increase by 5% and 9%, which is up to 560 MPa and 22.6 MS/m, respectively. And there are clear PFZs along the grain boundary and slightly coarser precipitates inside the grain. GPI zones, GPII zones and η' phases are major precipitates for the alloy under T6 condition. When T7 temper is performed on the alloy, the main precipitates are GPII zones, η′ and η phases. The coarser precipitates inside the grain and discontinuous grain boundary precipitates are favorable to electrical conductivity, which decrease the strength of 5~17% compared to T6 treatment. After T76 treatment (i.e., 110°C/6 h + 160°C/6 h), the UTS, TYS, Elongation and electrical conductivity values were 540 MPa, 510 MPa, 16.7% and 23.5 MS/m, respectively.
