The slag bath accelerated formation technological processes in the "solid" start of mono-and bifilar process schemes are worked out. The melted electroslag steel 5ХНМ (5HNM) and 34ХН1М (34HN1M) properties satisfy to the requirements that apply to the open wrought metal smelting mechanical properties. It is found that an effective way to enhance productivity is the electroslag processes exothermic flux (slag, ferroalloys, and aluminum powder in amounts sufficient to exothermic reactions) use. It is experimentally proved that an electrically conductive layer exothermic flux presence allows electroslag process, both in mono and bifilar schemes in "solid" start. The 34ХН1М (34HN1M) steel in non-heat treated condition tend to hairline cracks formation. The heat treatment provides the required mechanical properties and the hairline cracks absence in electroslag molten metal.

Twin Roll

Since 2018, the institute of metal forming has been studying the novel twin-roll casting (TRC) of magnesium wire at the pilot research plant set up specifically for this purpose. Light microscopic and scanning electronic investigations were carried out within this work and show the unique microstructure of twin-roll cast AZ31 magnesium alloy with grain sizes of about 10 μm ± 4 μm in centre and 39 μm ± 26 μm near the surface of the sample. By means of a short heat treatment (460 °C/15 min), segregations can be dissolved and grain size changes in centre to 19 μm ± 12 μm (increase) and near the surface to 12 μm ± 7 μm (decrease). Further, the mechanical properties of the twin-roll cast and heat-treated wire were analysed by tensile testing at room temperature. By heat treatment, the total elongation could be increased by a third whereas the strength decreases slightly. In heat-treated state, no preferred orientation is evident. In addition to the twin-roll cast and the heat-treated condition, the rolled state was analysed. For this purpose, the twin-roll cast wire was hot rolled using an oval-square calibration. After hot rolling, a dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement of the twin-roll cast wire could be achieved. It can be seen, that an increase in strength as well as in total elongation occur after wire rolling. Beside this, a rolling texture is evident.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of Sc-modified AA2519 extrusion joints. The workpiece was welded by FSW in non-heat-treated condition with seven different sets of welding parameters. For each obtained joint macrostructure and microstructure observations were performed. Mechanical properties of joints were investigated using tensile test together with localization of fracture location. Joint efficiencies were established by comparing measured joints tensile strength to the value for base material. The obtained results show that investigated FSW joints of Sc-modified AA2519 in the non-heat-treated condition have joint efficiency within the range 87–95%. In the joints obtained with the lowest ratio of the tool rotation speed to the tool traverse speed, the occurrence of imperfections (voids) localized in the stir zone was reported. Three selected samples were subjected to further investigations consisting microhardness distribution and scanning electron microscopy fractography analysis. As the result of dynamic recrystallization, the microhardness of the base material value of 86 HV0.1 increased to about 110–125 HV0.1 in the stir zone depending on the used welding parameters. Due to lack of the strengthening phase and low strain hardening of used alloy the lack of a significantly softened zone was reported by both microhardness analysis and investigation of the fractured samples.

This study aims to identify an optimal heat-treatment parameter set for an additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy in terms of increasing the hardness and eliminating the anisotropic microstructural characteristics of the alloy in as-built condition. Furthermore, the influence of these optimized parameters on the fatigue properties of the alloy investigated. In this respect, microstructural characteristics of an AlSi10Mg alloy manufactured by Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion in non-heat-treated and heat-treated conditions were investigated. Their static and dynamic mechanical properties were evaluated, and fatigue behavior was explained by a detailed examination of fracture surfaces. Much of the microstructure in the non-heat-treated condition was composed of columnar grains oriented parallel to the build direction. Further analysis revealed a high fraction of pro-eutectic α-Al. Through heat-treatment, the alloy was successfully brought to its peak-hardened condition, while eliminating the anisotropic microstructural features. Yield strength and ductility increased simultaneously after heat-treatment, which is due to the relief of residual stresses, preservation of refined grains, and introduction of precipitation strengthening. The fatigue strength, calculated at 10^7 cycles, improved as well after heat-treatment and finally detailed fractography reviled that a more ductile fracture mechanism has happened in the heat-treated condition compared to the non-heat-treated condition.

The present work deals with the effect of aging on the mechanical and tribological properties Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (AA7068) alloy. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness and sliding wear of the alloy in as cast and heat treated condition were examined in order to achieve the maximum properties. Microstructural examination of the alloy in as cast and heat treated condition was carried out to observe the effect of aging. SEM study was also done to observe the worn surfaces and the mechanism of material removal. It is observed that there is a substantial improvement in the mechanical and tribological properties of the alloy due to heat treatment as compared to the as cast alloy. The microstructural study of the cast alloy shows primary dendrites of aluminium and intermetallic phases around the inter-dendrites regions. Due to the heat treatment, the identity of the dendritic structure is lost, because of uniform distribution of precipitates, wherein intermetallic phases were seen dispersed within the grains and the grain boundaries. Results show that the tensile strength of the heat treated alloy at 210oC aging temperature has increased by 155% as compared to as cast alloy. The compressive strength and hardness of the alloy at 210oC aging temperature shows improvement of 41% and 54% respectively as compared to as cast alloy. Wear loss of the heat treated alloy at 210oC aging temperature has decreased at an applied load of 20, 40, 60 and 80 N in both 1.57m/s and 3.00m/s sliding speed.
