The effect of aging on the precipitates, mechanical and magnetic properties of Fe-21Cr-15Ni-6Mn-Nb low magnetic stainless steel were investigated. The steel was aged at 550–750 °C for 2 h after solution heat treatment at 1100 °C for 1 h. During the aging treatment, the (Nb, V)(C, N) particles gradually precipitated in the grain, which were coherent or semi-coherent with the matrix. When the aging temperature was beyond 650 °C, the coarsening rate of (Nb, V)(C, N) particles increase rapidly and the coherent orientation between (Nb, V)(C, N) particles and the matrix was lost gradually. Meanwhile, coarse M23C6 was distributed at the grain boundary with chain shape, which was non-coherent with the matrix. The coarsening behavior of (Nb, V)(C, N) precipitates in the grain was analyzed, and the size of the particles precipitated after aging treatment at 650°C for different time was calculated and studied. After aging treatment at 650 °C for 2 h, the yield strength and tensile strength of the stainless steel was 705.6 MPa and 1002.3 MPa, the elongation and the relative magnetic permeability was 37.8% and 1.0035, respectively.

Eutectic Si

The as-casted Al-Si-Mg alloy was treated by solution and aging process of 545°C/10h/water cooling plus 175°C/6h /air cooling. The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical property of Al-Si-Mg was investigated by metallographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectrum analysis and mechanical testing. The experimental results showed that the alloy had the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 317MPa and the elongation of 2%, and suitable for squeezing cast. During solution treatment, the plate-like eutectic Si particles became small granular or short bacilliform morphology, and the non-uniformly distributed eutectic phase was eliminated substantially. In addition, Si particles distributed uniformly and finely in the matrix. The tensile strength of as-casted alloy was 180 MPa, while it was up to 317 MPa after solution and aging treatment process, and the elongation increased from 2% to 3%, which is consistent with the microstructure. Fracture surface analysis showed that fracture mode of the alloy transformed from brittle fracture into co-existence of ductile fracture and brittle fracture during T6 treatment.

Grain boundary serrations were produced in heat-resistant austenitic stainless steel containing Cu by applying after solution heat-treatment a holding time in the range 700-800oC between 30 minutes to 3 hours. These special treatments provide an enhancement of the tensile ductility of about 40 and 113%at room temperature and 750oC, respectively, while no significant change in the yield stress and tensile strength could be observed.

The in-situ Ti alloying of aluminium alloys was fulfilled by electrolysis, and the material was made into A356 alloy and used in automobile wheels. The results show that the grains of the A356 alloy was refined and the second dendrites arm was shortened due to the in-situ Ti alloying. Trough 3-hour solution treatment and 2-hour aging treatment for the A356 alloy, the microstructures were homogeneous, and Si particles were spheroid and distribute in the matrix fully. The outstanding mechanical properties with tensile strength (σb≥300Mpa) and elongation values (δ≥10%) have been obtained because the heat treatment was optimized. Compared with the traditional materials, tensile strength and elongation were increased by 7.6~14.1% and 7.4~44.3% respectively. The qualities of the automobile wheels were improved remarkably.

In this study, Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy (EW75) was produced by melting method and then press-forged into large size plate. The properties of the Mg-7Gd-5Y-1.2Nd-0.5Zr alloy were optimized through T6 heat treatment. The microstructures of alloy were observed by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its mechanical properties under different heat treatment conditions were determined by tensile tests. The results indicated that increasing the solid solution temperature and prolonging the solid solution time can both lead to the dissolution of second phase in the alloy back into the matrix. The solid solution temperature affects the dissolution process more than the solid solution time. Grain growth occurred during the solid solution process. The grain size of the matrix enlarges with the increase of solid solution temperature. The tensile test result showed that the tensile strength of the alloy was significantly improved after T6 heat treatment. Its tensile strength in the same direction was nearly 40% up after T6 heat treatment. The analysis shows that T6 heat treatment can effectively eliminate the larger deformed precipitates and beneficial to the formation of hard precipitates, which leads to an improvement in the alloys tensile strength.

In this study, 7075 aluminum matrix composites reinforced with 1.5 wt.% nanosized Al2O3 were fabricated by ultrasonic vibration. The effect of T6 heat treatment on both microstructure and hardness of nanosized Al2O3 reinforced 7075 (Al2O3np/7075) composites were studied via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and hardness tests. The Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 phases gradually dissolved into the matrix under solution treatment at 480 °C for 5 h. However, the morphology and size of Al7Cu2Fe phases remained unchanged due to their high melting points. Furthermore, the slenderness strips MgZn2 phases precipitated under aging treatment at 120 °C for 24 h. Compared to as-cast composites, the hardness of the sample under T6 heat treatment was increased ~52%. The strengthening mechanisms underlying the achieved hardness of composites are revealed.

Mechanical And Electrical Properties

The effect of thermal heat treatment on the mechanical and electrical properties of Cu–Ag alloys was investigated. The homogenization heat treatment leads to an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in electrical conductivity due to dissolution of Ag into copper matrix. Also, it is shown that electrical conductivity of as-cast Cu–Ag alloys decreases with increasing Ag content. In contrast, the aging heat treatment gives rise to increase both the tensile strength and electrical conductivity because the Ag solute diffuses out from copper matrix during aging heat treatment. Therefore, it can be mentioned that the electrical conductivity of Cu–Ag alloys depends on Ag solute in copper matrix. Also, aging treatment is favorable to acquire high strength and high electrical conductivity.

In this paper, developed a non-aluminum die casting magnesium alloys were studied based on Mg-xGd-Y-Zr（x=6, 8, 12 wt.%）alloys in cold chamber press. The microstructures and mechanical properties of die casting GWK alloys have been investigated using OM, SEM, XRD, EDS and mechanical property test. The experimental results show that with increasing Gd content of Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys, the tensile strength increase, but elongation decrease. In particular, die casting GWK alloys after short-term and low-temperature solid solution treatment (T4) have a small variation in grain size and more uniform microstructures, and the second phases distribute at the grain boundaries in form of discontinuous rod shape or granule shape, which result in an obvious improvement in tensile mechanical properties of alloys. The Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.5Zr die casting alloy exhibit maximum tensile strength after solution heat treatment, and the value is 269MPa at room temperature. The effect of solution heat treatment on die casting Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys was also discussed.
