Cast Mg-9Li alloy was successfully solid-solution (SS) treated via heating at 575 °C for 4.5 h and rapidly quenched with ice-water mixture. The mechanical property and corrosion resistance of the SS alloy were simultaneously improved. Rapid bcc/hcp phase transition of the alloy occurred during the quenching process, creating the newly precipitated needle-like fine α-Mg phase, uniformly distributed in the β-Li phase matrix. Dramatic grain refinement and uniform distribution of the α-Mg phase, as well as the massively increased α/β phase interfaces, are factors leading to the improved mechanical property of the SS alloy. Meanwhile, due to the modified duplex-phase structure, the SS alloy has a uniform corrosion-resistant surface film on the β-Li phase, which completely covers the entire alloy surface and efficiently protects the substrate. In addition, the SS alloy has fewer difference in the elements concentration and corrosion activity of the duplex phases, which reduces the pitting sensitivity and improves the corrosion resistance of the alloy matrix. The findings in this binary Mg-Li alloy can also serve as a benchmark for other more practical and complicated Mg-Li alloys.

Effect of the solid-solution treatment on the structures and properties of the die-casting AZ91D alloy with mixed rare-earth elements was explored.The results show that the the tensile strength and the elongation ratio δ have been improved by solid-solution treatment.The higher the treatment temperature was,the better the improvement were.With the increase of the temperature,the content of β phase was lower when those of M-RE compound and the refinement α phase were higher.The tensile strength can reach 304.74Mpa and the elongation ratio can reach 11% after the solid-solution treatment of 370°C×16h.

In order to improve the bio-corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy Mg-8.0Al-1.0Zn-xGd in the simulated human fluid, different heat treatment procedures were studied. Results showed that annealing treatment lowered the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness, while T6 treatment (solid solution+ aging) improved the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness. Microstructure analysis showed that the β phase dissolved into α phase after the annealing treatment. Hence, annealing treatment decreased the alloy’s corrosion resistance. However, lots of β-phases were precipitated in the T6 heat treatment, and they impeded the corrosion extending.

The element of zirconium (Zr) belongs to the same group 4 as Ti in the periodic table. Therefore it possesses similar chemical properties. The Ti-Zr binary system forms a continuous solid solution for both high temperature β phase with the body centered cubic (BCC) structure and low temperature α phase with the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure throughout the entire range of composition. As is well known, on the other hand, the element of iron (Fe) is not only inevitable but also effective element in Ti.By incorporating Fe at the stage of alloy design, off-grade sponge titanium can be employed. Both elements seem to be effective in strengthening the titanium alloys. The purpose of this work was to prepare Ti-Zr-Fe alloys and then mechanical property and heat treatment behaviours were investigated as a fundamental research. Ti-x mass% Zr-1mass% Fe alloys (x=0, 5, 10) were melted in a laboratory-scale arc furnace under a high purity argon atmosphere from the sponge Ti, the sponge Zr and the Fe wire. The resulting ingots were hot forged and rolled at approximately 1120 K to obtain plates of approximately 2 mm in thickness. Well-mixed and homogeneous samples could be obtained, oxygen contaminations were less than 0.09 %. Solid solution of Zr into Ti was confirmed by the XRD peak shift in α phase. Vickers hardness and proof stress increased with Zr content. No remarkable changes could be observed in the microstructures after the solution treatment at 1173 K. However, Young’s modulus increased at x=10 by the treatment.

Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high purity MA2-1(Mg-5wt.%Al-1wt.%Zn-0.4wt.%Mn) alloy sheet were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the microstructure of high purity MA2-1 alloy sheet annealed consisted of α-Mg solid solution, β (Mg17Al12) phase and Al-Mn phases such as Al6Mn and Al10Mn3. β phase dissolved into α-Mg solid solution during the solution treatment and formed supersaturated α-Mg solid solution. After aging at the temperatures of 423 K, 473 K and 523 K for 12 hours, β phase precipitated from the supersaturated α-Mg solid solution. Optical microscope observation found that the grain size of the MA2-1 alloy sheet became larger after heat treatment. As a result, the mechanical properties of the MA2-1 alloy sheet such as the tensile strength and yield strength declined after the heat treatment.

Effects of solid solution treatment and rolling treatment on microstructure and electrochemical properties of Al-Ga-Mg-Mn-Bi anode alloy were investigated by means of SEM and electrochemical measurements. The results show that after solid solution treatment the microstructure segregation of the as-cast alloy was reduced, the hydrogen evolution was restrained, the corrosion resistance was increased. The open circuit potential moves towards negative after solid solution treatment. Rolling treatment had little impact on the alloy. The effects of solid solution treatment were superior to rolling treatment.

Duplex stainless steel, consisting of ferrite and austenite, has good corrosion resistance and is often used in harsh marine environments. In this paper, welding on SAF2507 duplex stainless steel with 5 mm thickness was finished by laser beam welding (LBW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The post-weld solid solution treatment was also conducted at temperature of [Formula: see text]C followed with cooling by water after 1 h. The results showed that both LBW and GTAW could produce well-produced welds. The microstructures of the welds were composed of ferrite and austenite phases. After solid solution treatment at [Formula: see text]C, the two-phase structure of LBW joint became uniform, while [Formula: see text] phase was produced in GTAW joint. The impact test of welded joints at room-temperature was carried out. After solid solution treatment at [Formula: see text]C, the impact toughness of LBW joints obviously increased, but the impact toughness of GTAW joint decreased with the fracture morphology of brittle mode. The electrochemical experiments on the welded joints showed that the pitting corrosion resistance of LBW joints improved after solid solution treatment, while the pitting corrosion resistance of GTAW joints decreased.

Abstract β-titanium alloys are essential in many applications, particularly biomedical applications. Ti-14Mn β-type alloy was produced using an electric arc furnace from raw alloying elements in an inert atmosphere. The alloy was homogenized at 1000 °C for 8 hr to ensure the complete composition distribution, followed by solution treatment at 900 °C, then quenched in ice water. The alloy was subjected to cold deformation via cold rolling with different ratios: 10, 30, and 90%. The phases change, microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of Ti-14Mn alloys were evaluated before and after cold rolling. The results showed that the β-phase is the only existed phase even after a high degree of deformation. The microstructure shows a combination of twinning and slipping deformation mechanisms in the deformed alloy. Microhardness values indicated a linear increase equal to 30% by increasing the ratio of cold deformation due to the strain hardening effect. The corrosion resistance of Ti-14Mn alloy was doubled after 90% cold rolling.
