In the present paper, new heat treatment was performed on 10 vol.% TiC/Ti-6Al-3Sn-9Zr-1.5Mo composite fabricated by an in situ casting technique. The aim is to obtain fully lamellar structure in matrix, control the lamellar structure quantitatively and understand the variation of the tensile properties of as-cast and heat-treated composites. For as-cast composite, matrix exhibited fully lamellar structure with some extent of basket-weave characteristics, and reinforcement was mainly in fine rod and strip shape. After β heat treatment, matrix microstructure was refined visibly. As the new cooling method was employed, wider α lath in matrix was obtained. The composite with very fine lamellar structure showed better yield strength (YS) in comparison with that with coarse lamellar microstructure below 650 °C. At 700 °C, fine grain strengthening cannot exert effective influence on tensile strength. It is proved that the enhanced YS is mainly ascribed to the refinement of α lath at ambient temperature. The heat-treated composites with wider α lath displayed excellent ductility at ambient temperature. Above 600 °C, the effect of α phase size on tensile elongation was negligible in the heat-treated composites, since matrix was softened.

Effects of holding temperature and time at (β+γ) two phase region on the microstructure of fully lamellar Ti-46Al-7Nb-0.7Cr-0.2Ni-0.1Si (mol%) intermetallic compounds are studies. Fully lamellar microstructure is observed after homogenization heat treatment for 3.6 ks at 1643 K (α single phase state). Fine β phased grains precipitate at fully lamellar structure after heat treatment of homogenized material at 1373 K. Holding the homogenized material for 72 ks at 1373 K decompose partially the lamellar structure. Heat treatment of homogenized material at 1273 K also precipitates the fine β phased grains in fully lamellar structure. In this temperature range, decomposition of lamellar structure is not observed up to 72 ks heat treatment. The toughness of homogenized material is ~ 15 MPa√m. Heat treatment of homogenized material at 1373 K and 1273 K for 3.6 ks indicates maximum fracture toughness in each temperature range. This may due to the precipitation of fine β phased grains. The fracture toughness decreases with the increase in heat treatment time up to 18 ks and/or 36 ks. Then, the value of fracture toughness became constant. Specimens heat treated at 1373 K for 36 ks and 72 ks indicate lower toughness than homogenized material. However, when the specimens are heat treated at 1273 K for 36 ks and 72 ks, the toughness is higher than that of homogenized material. This change is due to the decomposition of the lamellar structure.

The microstructures and creep properties at 760 °C and 276 MPa of three powder metallurgy TiAl alloys (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb, Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+0.5W, and Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+1W (atomic percent)) are presented. The results indicate that the addition of W to the base composition, the use of a solution heat treatment combined with controlled cooling (to generate a fully lamellar microstructure), and the use of an aging heat treatment (to generate precipitate particles at the lamellar interfaces) improve creep properties dramatically. The solution heat treated and aged Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+1W alloy has a time to 0.5% strain of 8.3 hours, a time to 1% strain of 46.4 hours, and a creep life of 412 hours with a rupture ductility of 16.9%.

Step Heat Treatment

Powder metallurgical TiAl alloy was fabricated by gas atomization powders, and the effect of heat treatment temperature on the microstructure evolution and room tensile properties of PM TiAl alloy was investigated. The uniform fine duplex microstructure was formed in PM TiAl based alloy after being heat treated at 1250/2h followed by furnace cooling (FC)+ 900/6h (FC). When the first step heat treatment temperature was improved to 1360/1h, the near lamellar microstructure was achieved. The ductility of the alloy after heat treatment improved markedly to 1.2% and 0.6%, but the tensile strength decreased to 570MPa and 600MPa compared to 655MPa of as-HIP TiAl alloy. Post heat treatment at the higher temperature in the alpha plus gamma field would regenerate thermally induced porosity (TIP).

The effect of extrusion ratios and solution heat treatment on microstructure and tensile properties of extruded Al-15%Mg2Si-1.0%Gd composite was investigated. The as-cast composite was hot extruded using three different dies and solution heat treated. After conducting heat treatment on extruded samples, microstructure alteration was examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Furthermore, mechanical properties of the composites were studied with tensile test. The results demonstrated that extruded and heat treated composite possesses higher strength and ductility compared to as-extruded composites. It was also found that the extrusion and heat treatment processes altered the morphology of primary Mg2Si particles as well as reduction in their size especially when the extrusion ratio increases. Fracture surface examination revealed a transition from ductile fracture in as-extruded samples to more ductile fracture in extruded and heat treated ones. This can be attributed to the change in size and morphology of primary Mg2Si particles as well as fragmentation of Gd intermetallic compounds.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of heat treatment alone or in combination with the addition of lignosulfonate (LSO3) on canola cake protein, lysine, and methionine degradation in the rumen. Cold-pressed canola cake was left untreated, heated at 90, 110, 130, or 150 °C, or processed with 5% of LSO3 (in dry matter) and then heated. Effective rumen degradability of crude protein (CP), lysine, and methionine was less for treated than untreated canola cake (P < 0.05) and decreased with increased temperature of heating, but particularly when canola cake was heated at 150 °C (quadratic, P < 0.01). In general, effective rumen degradability of CP, lysine, and methionine was less for canola cake heated at 130 °C in combination with LSO3 compared with canola cake heat treated only (quadratic × LSO3 interaction, P ≤ 0.07). Results of this study indicate that high temperature heating (130 °C or greater for 60 min) may be necessary to protect canola cake protein from degradation in the rumen, and the combination of heat treatment and LSO3 may be more effective in protecting canola cake protein, lysine, and methionine from degradation in the rumen than the use of heat treatment only.

ABSTRACTC11b/C40 fully lamellar microstructures, similar to the well-known TiAl/Ti3Al lamellae, were obtained in Ta- and Nb-added MoSi2 polycrystalline alloys in a previous work. In the present study, the crystallography of the lamellar structure is investigated in a MoSi2-15mol%TaSi2 pseudo-binary alloy after homogenized at 1400°C for 168h, in order to provide some useful parameters for microstructural control to improve mechanical properties. The orientation relationship between C11b and C40 phases and its three distinct variants were identified. Coherency of the lamellar interface is analyzed in comparison with the TiAl/Ti3Al lamellae. Approach to modify the C11b/C40 lamellar microstructure to increase its coherency is discussed based on the results obtained.

The AA7075-4%TiC metal matrix composite produced through in-situ casting technique was hot extruded and subjected to annealing at 415°C for 150 minutes. Another set of hot extruded AA7075-4%TiC metal matrix composite was heat treated to T6 condition. Dry sliding wear test was conducted with different sliding speeds and loads for both annealed and T6 conditioned composites to compare their wear behaviour. It was observed that irrespective of the heat treatment conditions, the depth of wear, decreases with increasing sliding velocity for all the loads tested and increases with increasing load for all the sliding velocities.

The effect of adding 5% calcium lignosulfonate (LSO3) and heat to canola screenings on in situ ruminal and intestinal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance in Holstein cows was investigated. Treatments consisted of untreated canola screenings, canola screenings that had been heated to 100 °C for 30 or 60 min and canola screenings that had 5% (wt wt−1) LSO3 added and were subsequently heated at 100 °C for 0, 30 or 60 min. Results indicate that treatment of canola screenings with 5% LSO3 and heated to 100 °C for 60 min was effective in reducing rumen degradation of DM and CP with a corresponding increase in disappearance in the lower gastrointestinal tract when compared to untreated and heat-treated canola screenings.

Heat treatment of rheo-high pressure die cast (R-HPDC) A356 brake callipers has produced good mechanical properties on the laboratory scale. An industrial heat treatment is required to evaluate the applicability and conformance of the R-HPDC A356 brake callipers to the automotive industry. This research studied A356 brake callipers heat treated on the industrial scale with particular emphasis on the resulting microstructure, hardness and tensile properties. The eutectic Si-particle spheroidisation after solution heat treatment was achieved and observed with optical microscopy. A hardness increase from 64 to 100 Vickers was achieved from the as-cast condition to the industrially heat treated T6 condition. The heat treatment caused no significant variation in hardness and tensile properties from brake callipers within the same batch or from different batches. The yield and ultimate strengths of the industrial heat treated brake callipers were lower compared to the laboratory scale heat treatment properties, while the ductility increased, mainly due to quenching effects. Even though the industrial heat treated A356 brake callipers resulted in yield and ultimate tensile strengths lower than those achieved on a laboratory scale, they still exceeded the minimum specifications for gravity die cast A356 brake callipers.
