In this paper, multi-axial compression of LM6 Al alloy were performed at room temperature using strain of 0.2 in each pass. Total cumulative strains 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8, were applied in three, six and nine passes, respectively. Microstructural evolution is studied using light optical microscopy of the compressed specimen. Properties (tensile strength, hardness, toughness) of deformed specimens were studied using tensile and hardness tests, and relate them with their microstructures and fractographs. As passes increased from zero to nine, 62% of tensile strength of the material is increased along with hardness from 52 VHN to 74VHN.

Al Composite

In the present study, the aluminum (Al) 1050–FeTiO3 composite was fabricated through accumulative roll bonding process, and the resultant mechanical properties were evaluated at different deformation cycles at ambient temperature. The effect of the addition of FeTiO3 particle on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the composite during accumulative roll bonding was investigated. The Al–2, 4, and 8 vol.% FeTiO3 composites were produced by accumulative roll bonding at room temperature. The results showed improvement in the dispersions of the particles with the increase in the number of the rolling cycles. In order to study the mechanical properties, tensile and hardness tests were applied. It was observed that hardness and tensile strength improve with increasing accumulative roll bonding cycles. The microhardness and tensile strength of the final composites are significantly improved as compared to those of original raw material Al 1050 and increase with increasing volume fraction of FeTiO3, reaching a maximum of ∼75 HV and ∼169 MPa for Al–8 vol.% FeTiO3 at seventh cycle, respectively.

Cryogenic Temperatures

Aluminum alloy sheets were asymmetrically rolled at room and cryogenic temperatures by imposing different velocity ratios of 1~1.5 between the upper and bottom rolls. After rolling, the stress-strain curves, microhardness as well as the microstructures of the rolled samples were characterized and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the asymmetric cryorolling could improve the grain refinement and offered (~12%) higher room temperature tensile strength than that processed by symmetrical rolling with velocity ration of 1.0 (~280 MPa). However, at cryogenic temperature, the strength of asymmetrically cryorolling sheet (with velocity ratio of 1.5) was 5.1%, which is less than that processed by symmetrical rolling.

Al Alloy

A small amount of Zn or Sn was added to Mg-3%Al alloy to improve the formability of alloy. The elongation of as-rolled alloy was increased at both room temperature and 300oC by addition of Sn or Zn, even though the tensile strength at room temperature was remarkably increased only by Zn. When the as-rolled alloy was annealed to be fully recrystallized, the ductility at room temperature was significantly enhanced, however the elongation at 300oC was rather decreased probably attributed to the dynamic recrystallization occurred during the tensile test.

Three groups of commercial 1050 Al alloy were subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature using route A, route C and route Bc, respectively. Mechanical properties and fracture modes of as-annealed and ECAPed samples were investigated. The microhardness of 1050 Al fabricated by ECAP increases by a factor of about 1.5 compared to the as-annealed state. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increases significantly after ECAP, while the elongation decreases. But they are strongly dependence on the number of ECAP passes and the pressing route. The UTS and elongation of the samples processed by route Bc are best, consequently, the static toughness U of the samples is enhanced. Besides, all specimens subjected to ECAP deformation failed in a ductile manner.

Three groups of commercial 5052 Al alloy sheets were subjected to groove pressing (GP) at room temperature using parallel GP, 180° cross GP and 90° cross GP, respectively. Mechanical properties and fracture modes of as-annealed and GPed samples were investigated. The microhardness of the samples processed by parallel GP increases by a factor of about 1.6 compared to the as-annealed state, and that of the samples processed by cross GP is higher. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increases significantly after GP, while the elongation decreases. But they are strongly dependence on the number of GP passes and the pressing modes. Besides, fracture surface morphology demonstrates that the fracture mode is ductile even after four passes. With increasing the number of GP pass, the amount of small dimples increases, and the dimples become shallow and more uniform.

Developing new alloys and techniques is important for the applications of magnesium alloy products. The greatest challenge in the area is to exploit new wrought magnesium alloys[1]. In this paper, the effects of Zn addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the MZK60 wrought alloy which is modified from ZK60 have been investigated. The microstructures of these alloys at various states were evaluated by optical microscopy. The mechanical properties at room temperature of these alloys were studied systematically by tensile test. Experimental results indicated that increasing Zn content to 7~10%wt is able to get not only higher tensile strength and yield strength, but also higher elongation.

Insight Into

To provide insight into the mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of bulk nanograined (NG) Ni-based alloys during annealing, the Ni-based alloy sheets with grain size about 50 nm was produced through severe cold-rolling at room temperature, and then the cold rolled (CRed) Ni-based alloys were annealed at different states. The evolution of the nanostructure of the CRed Ni-based alloy during annealing and corresponding change in mechanical properties was investigated. The results showed that the CRed Ni-based alloy exhibited prominent enhancement in the yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), which increased respectively from 253 MPa to 1455 MPa, 684 MPa to 1557 MPa. Further increase of the YS and UTS were obtained in the annealed-CRed Ni-based alloy with dual-phase. The YS and UTS of the NG dual-phase Ni-based alloy was respectively 2013 MPa and 2061MPa, which was annealed at 700 °C for 1h. In terms of the microstructural evolution, lower density of defects on the grain boundary were observed and the nanograins can be maintained about 100 nm even when annealed for 30 h at 700 °C, which suggests high thermal stability at this temperature. Both the high thermal stability and strength are due to the formation of the γ′ precipitates and slight grain growth of the NG matrix.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

This paper investigates the effect of Fe, Cr and B additions, in small proportions, as alloying elements in Ni3Al with the purpose to reduce its intrinsic fragility and extrinsic embrittlement and to enhance, in the same time, its mechanical properties. It represents a development of some previous research works of the authors, proving that Ni3Al-Fe-Cr-B alloys obtained by reactive synthesis (SHS) starting from Mechanically Alloyed powder mixtures have superior both room temperature tensile strength and ductility, and compression ones at temperatures up to 800 °C, than pure Ni3Al. These create premises for their using as superalloys substitutes.
