Investigations of the plastic deformation mechanisms of Ni-W-based heavy alloys varying with increasing temperatures are very important for the development of hot forming processes and applications at elevated temperatures. In this study, the continuous variation of strength and plasticity of a novel Ni-W-based heavy alloy with increasing temperatures was investigated. The tensile strength of a Ni48W35Co17 sample at 600 °C was 471 MPa, which was 47% lower than that at 100 °C. A variation in an abnormal decrease in elongations at temperatures from 400 °C to 800 °C was found in this alloy. The elongation rate of the sample tensile at 600 °C was 19%, which was 73% lower than that at 100 °C. A microstructural analysis revealed that the number of twins in the sample tensile at a temperature higher than 600 °C increased considerably compared with the sample tensile at lower temperatures, indicating that the dislocation slips were suppressed during the high-temperature stretching process. The precipitates of the NiW phase were found in the 600 °C tensile sample, which was not clearly observed in the 400 °C tensile sample, suggesting that dislocation slips were affected by the formation of these precipitates. Moreover, the orientation relationship between the matrix and NiW phase was (200)Ni//(240)NiW and [001]Ni//[001]NiW. The tiny precipitated phase was the main reason for the plasticity decrease of the alloy with the temperature increase.

We report on advanced Ni3Al based high temperature structural alloys with refractory alloying elements such as Zr and Mo to be apllied in the fields of die-casting and high temperature press forming as die materials. The duplex microstructure consisting of L12 structured Ni3Al phase and Ni5Zr intermetallic dispersoids was observed to display the microstructural feature for the present alloys investigated. Depending on alloying elements, the volume fraction of 2nd phase was measured to be different, indicating a difference in solid solubility of alloying elements in the matrix γ’ phase. Lattice parameter of matrix phase increased with increasing content of alloying elements. In the higher temperature region more than 973K, the present alloys appeared to show their higher strength compared to those obtained in conventional superalloys. On the basis of experimental results obtained, it is suggested that refractory alloying elements have an effective role to improve the high temperature strength in terms of enhanced thermal stability and solid solution hardening.

A chemical approach to the formation of columnar defects involving the growth and incorporation of MgO nanorods into high temperature superconductors (HTS's) has been developed. MgO nanorods were incorporated into Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oz, Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oz, and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3Oz superconductors at areal densities up to 2 × 1010/cm2. Microstructural analyses of the composites demonstrate that the MgO nanorods create a columnar defect structure in the HTS matrices, form a compositionally sharp interface with the matrix, and self-organize into orientations perpendicular and parallel to the copper oxide planes. Measurements of the critical current density demonstrate significant enhancements in the MgO nanorod/HTS composites at elevated temperatures and magnetic fields compared with reference samples.

Two similar mixes were made with cement contents of about 350 kg/m3 and a water–cement ratio of 0.50. The concrete specimens, moist cured for 7 days, were cured in air for 28 and 120 days, respectively, prior to heating. The exposure temperatures were 75, 150, 300, and 450 °C. The periods of exposure at each temperature were 2, 30, and 120 days.The compressive strengths, before heating, of the specimens cured for 35 and 120 days were 41.0 and 46.2 MPa, respectively, and the flexural strengths were 4.9 and 5.8 MPa. Compared with those strengths, the strengths of the specimens heated for 30 days or more increased at 75 °C but decreased at higher temperatures. The losses increased with increase in temperature, reaching about 30% at 450 °C.The flexural strength of the concrete cured in air for 28 days was more adversely affected than was the compressive strength. The flexural and compressive strengths of the concrete cured in air for 120 days were affected to about the same degree. The longer curing period had little effect on the relative losses in compressive strength, but the longer curing period reduced the loss in flexural strength. In most applications, the loss in strength could be compensated by proportioning the mix to overdesign for strength. Key words: high-density concrete, ilmenite, aggregates, high temperature, mechanical properties, nondestructive tests.

The present study is focussed on the oxidation behavior of nonoxide silicon-based ceramics. Various Si3N4 and SiC ceramics were examined after long term oxidation tests (up to 5000 h) at 1500°C in ambient air. The damage mechanisms were discussed on the basis of a comprehensive chemical and microstructural analysis of the materials after the oxidation tests. The diffusion of oxygen into the material and its further reaction in the bulk of the material were found to be the most critical factors during long term oxidation treatment at elevated temperatures. However, the resulting damage in the microstructure of the materials can be significantly reduced by purposeful microstructural engineering. Using Si3N4/SiC and Si3N4/MoSi2 composite materials provides the possibility to improve the high temperature stability. [S0742-4795(00)00301-X]

Titanium–tantalum shape memory alloys (SMAs) are promising candidates for actuator applications at elevated temperatures. They may even succeed in substituting ternary nickel–titanium high temperature SMAs, which are either extremely expensive or difficult to form. However, titanium–tantalum alloys show rapid functional and structural degradation under cyclic thermo-mechanical loading. The current work reveals that degradation is not only governed by the evolution of the ω-phase. Dislocation processes and chemical decomposition of the matrix at grain boundaries also play a major role.

The influence of long time service on the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of T23 steel was studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and tensile testing machine. Results showed that lathy bainite ferrite disappears with the increasing service time, both the size and number of the carbides increases, and M23C6 carbides transform into M6C carbides rich in W element. The service process also has a significant influence on the recovery. Sub-grains were found at the grain boundaries with little dislocations in the matrix after 27448 h service time. After running for 27448 h the microstructure degradation of T23 steel is serious. High temperature tensile properties of T23 are closely related to the alloy aging degree. The reasons for the decrease of high temperature mechanical properties after long time service included microstructure degradations such as the increase of both the size and quantity of M23C6 carbides, the transformation of M23C6 to M6C, the desolution of Cr,W,and Mo elements, the decrease of the dislocation density and the occurrence of the sub-grains.

The mechanical properties of Al alloys are strongly affected by their microstructure: the size and shape of precipitates, their homogeneous distribution and their coherency with the matrix are of primary importance for an effective strengthening of the alloys at room and elevated temperatures. Physically-based models are powerful tools to predict the influence of the mentioned parameters on the mechanical properties of the alloy after age hardening, and also to predict the effect of high temperature service conditions on microstructure evolution. Scope of this work is to model the dimensional kinetic evolution of plate shaped precipitates of an Al-based alloy during aging and after different overaging times at elevated temperature, and use these results to estimate the alloy yield strength. The alloy strengthening response is due to three terms, linearly summed: the intrinsic strength of Aluminum, the contribution from solute in solid solution and the contribution arising from precipitates. The consistency of the model is verified with experimental data obtained from a 2014 Al alloy.

The effects of alloying elements on the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of Mg-Al alloys were investigated in this study. In order to improve the high temperature mechanical properties, Sr or Mm was added to the Mg-9Al alloy. The effect of Sn on the Mg-9Al alloy was also examined since Sn was expected to improve the high temperature mechanical properties by forming the thermally stable Mg2Sn phase. The specimens used in this study were produced on a 320 ton cold chamber high-pressure die casting machine. The microstructures of the specimens were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy and tensile and creep tests were performed at elevated temperatures. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature, 150oC and 200oC using an initial strain rate of 2×10-4/sec. In addition, tensile creep tests were conducted at the stress levels of 50 MPa and 70 MPa. From the microstructure analyses of the specimens after heat treatment at 400oC for 12 hours, it was found that most of the Mg17Al12 precipitate dissolved into the matrix, while the thermally stable phases continued to exist. The high temperature mechanical properties of the Mg-9Al alloys were found to improve significantly with the additions of Sr, Mm and Sn, due to the formation of the thermally stable precipitates.

The affecting laws of boron and silicon on structure and properties of Fe-based superalloy were studied by analyses of scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Proper content of boron could not only purify the matrix and restrain the polymerizing and growing of carbides effectively, but also promote the forming of secondary precipitate of borides, which dispersed in form of micro particles to strengthen grain boundaries and enhance the heat strength for Fe-based superalloy. Boron was an adverse element to high temperature oxidation resistance. Silicon could toughen the matrix by solid solution strengthening. Overfed silicon in alloys caused great dropping of strength and toughness. The component of SiO2 endowed the oxide scale with flat and compact structure, fine and even grains, and few exfoliating. The optimum contents of boron and silicon in Fe-based superalloy are 0.02wt.% and 1.5wt.% respectively by comprehensive consideration of high temperature mechanical properties and oxidation resistance.

In this research work, the tribological behaviour of an AZ91D alloy and its composites reinforced with different titanium-based ultra-high-temperature ceramic particulates was investigated. Titanium-based ultra-high-temperature ceramic materials (5 wt%) such as titanium carbide, titanium boride and titanium nitride was used for the fabrication of three different composites, namely ATC, ATB and ATN, respectively. The proposed composites were prepared using a novel ultrasonic treatment-assisted stir-squeeze casting technique. Material characterization was performed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The porosity and hardness of the composites were determined prior to the wear test. In the pin-on-disc tribometer, the wear test was carried out at room temperature by varying the normal load (12.5–50 N) and the sliding speed (0.25–1 m/s). In addition, at a temperature of up to 200 °C, the tribological behaviour of the composites was assessed. The homogeneous distribution of ultra-high-temperature ceramic particles in the matrix was confirmed by the analysis of the microstructure using scanning electron microscopy images. The X-ray diffraction results showed that the reinforcement materials in the matrix were thermally stable. The hardness of the ATC, ATB and ATN was improved by approximately 31%, 33.8% and 29.6%, respectively. In comparison, at all wear testing conditions, ATB demonstrated superior tribological performance, while the performance of ATN was poor and ATC was moderate. Abrasion, oxidation and delamination were the wear mechanisms at room temperature. At elevated temperatures, oxidation, delamination, thermal softening and plastic deformation wear mechanisms were significant..
