Tissue Reactions

The cytotoxic tissue reactions of alloying elements (Al, V) of Ti-6Al-4V have been reported, whereas the Ti-39Nb-6Zr (TNZ40) alloy developed by adding β-phase stabilizing elements is known to have no cytotoxicity and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. In addition, there is a slight modulus difference between the TNZ40 alloy and human bones as the elastic modulus of the TNZ40 alloy is very low. This can inhibit detrimental effects such as osteoblast loss due to a stress-shielding effect. In this study, various Si contents were added and heat treatment under various conditions was performed to control the microstructure and mechanical properties of the TNZ40 alloy. In the β-type titanium alloy, the ω phase is commonly observed by quenching from the solution-treatment or aging-treatment temperature. These ω precipitates can typically increase the elastic modulus, hardness, and embrittlement of the β-type titanium alloy, which are important to control this phase. The correlation between Si content and precipitation and the effects of solution treatment and aging condition on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, and hardness, were analyzed.

Hardness Values

The sheet of ZK60 alloy with a thickness of 1mm was prepared from a casting ingot followed by homogenization and warm-rolling. Variations in microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 alloy sheets were investigated during T6 treatment. Especially artificial aging after solution heat treatment affected both precipitates distribution and mechanical properties with aging treatment. Variations of mechanical properties were related to precipitates, i.e. rod-shaped ( 1 β ′ ) or disc shaped ( 2 β ′ ) particles. Around the peak of hardness values, regularly distributed rod-shaped ( 1 β ′ ) precipitates were found. The rod-shaped ( 1 β ′ ) precipitates were oriented with a growth direction of [0001]. When over-aged, rod-shaped ( 1 β ′ ) precipitates were expected to decrease and the density of disc-shaped ( 2 β ′ ) precipitates to change. The rod-shaped ( 1 β ′ ) precipitates mainly consist of {Mg, Zn}, while disc-shaped ( 2 β ′ ) precipitates, {Mg, Zn, Zr} or {Mg, Zn}. In this study the optimum T6 treatment was determined as solution treatment at 430 °C for 6 hours and subsequently aging treatment at 175 °C for 18 hours. At this T6 condition the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are 321MPa, 280MPa and 16%, respectively.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Effects of solution and aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of rolled AM50+xCa alloys(x=0, 1, 2 wt. %) were studied. The results indicated that, with increasing solution time i, the secondary phase Mg17Al12 was dissolved into the Mg matrix and Al2Ca became thinner and shorter, then gradually broken and spheroidized.With an increase of aging time, Mg17Al12 precipitated from the Mg matrix in the form of particles and Al2Ca changed a little. After solution treatment, hardness and tensile properties of the alloy’s decreased. After the aging treatment, the alloy’s hardness increased first and decreased later while the tensile properties increased little. The solution and aging treatment can increase the ductility of AM50 and AM50+1Ca alloys. For AM50+2Ca alloy, the ductility increased after solid solution treatment and decreased after aging treatment.

The Impact

AbstractThe effect of aging heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic steel was investigated in this article. The microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the microstructure of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic is composed of austenite. This steel was strengthened by precipitates of secondary phases that were mainly M23C6 carbides and NbCrN nitrides. As aging treatment time increased, the tensile strength first rose (0–3,000 h) and then fell (3,000–5,000 h) due to the decrease of high density of dislocations. The impact absorbed energy decreased sharply, causing the sulfides to precipitate at the grain boundary. Therefore, the content of sulfur should be strictly controlled in the steelmaking process.

The effects of dissolution of the η′ phase by solution treatment on the mechanical properties of A7075-T6 alloy were investigated. Immediately after solution treatment of the T6 sheet at 450 oC or higher, elongation significantly increased and dissolution of the η′ phase occurred. η′ is the main hardening phase. After natural-aging, GPI, which is coherent with the aluminum matrix, was formed and strength increased. When bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength slightly increased due to partial dissolution of the GPI and re-precipitation of the η′ phase. In contrast, after solution treatment at 400 oC, there was less elongation increase due to the precipitation of the coarse η phase at grain boundaries and low dissolution of the η′ phase. In addition, when bake hardening after natural-aging was performed, the yield strength decreased due to insufficient GPI, which is the nucleation site of the η′ phase. To promote reprecipitation of the η′ phase, the solution treatment temperature was set to a level that would increase solubility. As a result, the yield strength was significantly increased through re-precipitation of a large number of fine and uniform η′ phase. In addition, to increase the effect of dissolution, a pre-aging treatment was introduced and the bake hardenability can be improved after dissolution.

In this paper,effect of the different forging processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the flat flat billets of TA15 titanium alloy was investigated.The flat billiets of 80 mm×150 mm×L sizes of TA15 titanium alloy are produced by four different forging processes.Then the different microstrure and properties of the flat billiets were obtained by heat treatment of 800 °C~850 °C×1 h~4h.The results show that, adopting the first forging temperature at T1 °C、slow cooling and the second forging temperature at T2°C 、quick cooling, the primary αphases content is just 10%, and there are lots of thin aciculate phases on the base. This microstructure has both high strength at room temperature and high temperature, while the properties between the cross and lengthwise directions are just the same. So the hot processing of the first forging temperature at T1 °C、slow cooling and the second forging temperature at T2°C 、quick cooling is choosed as the ideal processing for production of aircraft frame parts.

Angular Extrusion

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of AZ80 Mg alloy during annular channel angular extrusion (350 °C) and heat treatment with varying parameters were investigated, respectively. The results showed that dynamic recrystallization of Mg grains was developed and the dendritic eutectic β-Mg17Al12 phases formed during the solidification were broken into small β-phase particles after hot extrusion. Moreover, a weak texture with two dominant peaks formed owing to the significant grain refinement and the enhanced activation of pyramidal <c + a> slip at relative high temperature. The tension tests showed that both the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the extruded alloy were dramatically improved owing to the joint strengthening effect of fine grain and β-phase particles as compared with the homogenized sample. The solution treatment achieved the good plasticity of the alloy resulting from the dissolution of β-phases and the development of more equiaxed grains, while the direct-aging process led to poor alloy elongation as a result of residual eutectic β-phases. After solution and aging treatment, simultaneous bonding strength and plasticity of the alloy were achieved, as a consequence of dissolution of coarse eutectic β-phases and heterogeneous precipitation of a large quantity of newly formed β-phases with both the morphologies of continuous and discontinuous precipitates.
