The microstructure of magnesium alloy sheets (nominal composition Mg–6Zn–Y in at. %) was investigated with the Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) technique after the annealing treatment. Tensile test at room temperature was performed to show the influence of annealing treatment on mechanical properties. Experimental results indicate that there are a large number of twin crystals appearing in microstructure of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y alloy sheet at 350 °C. The distinct icosahedral phase appears on the α-Mg matrix in granular form and the strength gets largely improved to the maximum. The uniform distribution of isometric crystal contributes to the best elongation at the annealing temperature of 400 °C.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The microstructure and mechanical properties of aged Mg-5.5Al-1.2Y magnesium alloy with Sb addition are investigated by optical microscope, SEM and X-ray diffraction analyzer. The results show that with proper content of Sb addition,the microstructure of Mg-5.5Al-1.2Y magnesium alloy is refined obviously and high melting point intermetallic compounds Sb3Y5 and Mg3Sb2 are formed. Meanwhile, the β-Mg17Al12 phase is more distributed. With the increase of Sb addition, the mechanical properties of the alloy at room and elevated temperature increase at first, and then decrease. When the content of Sb is up to 0.5%, the values of tensile strength and elongation at room temperature, 150ºC and 175ºC are up to their maxima synchronously, 241MPa /16.84%, 198MPa/20.27.86% and 169MPa/21.21% respectively.

As-cast AM60 magnesium alloy was solid dissolved with exercising different pressures to it. The microstructure of the products was characterized by optical microscope and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties of the products were investigated by microhardness tester and tensile testing. The results show that increasing the exercising pressure promotes the fracture and dissolution into the α-Mg matrix of the coarse β-Mg17Al12 phases distributed along the grain boundaries with a network appearance. With increasing the exercising pressure, the tensile strength, elongation percentage and percentage reduction of area of the alloy significantly increase, but its microhardness decreases.

The annealing temperature is a key parameter for the mechanical properties and microstructure control of the 2195 Al-Li alloy sheet in the annealing process. In the present study, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure of 2195 Al-Li alloy sheet was investigated using a general mechanical testing machine, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and backscattered electron microscope (EBSD). It was found that the optimized annealing temperature for 2195Al-Li alloy sheet of H112 state is 400°C, the alloy sheet shows the satisfactory mechanical properties. In addition, with the increase of annealing temperature, the δ' phase, the θ' phase and the T1 phase are formed in the alloy sheet, which leads to the strength of the alloy increase. Furthermore, the annealing temperature obviously affect the texture component and intensity during annealing treatment process.

Mechanical And Structural Properties

From the hard and anti-corrosions coatings, we found the chromium carbides, these components were discovered by large studies; like thin films since years ago. They were pointed a good quality for the protection of steel, because of their thermal and mechanical properties for this reason, it was used in many fields for protection. Plus: their hardness and their important function in mechanical coatings. The aim of this work joins a study of the effect of the thermal treatment on mechanical and structural properties of the Cr/steel system. Thin films were deposited by cathodic magnetron sputtering on the steel substrates of 100C6, contain 1% wt of carbon. Samples were annealing in vacuum temperature interval between 700 to 1000 °C since 45 min, it forms the chromium carbides. Then pieces are characterising by X-ray diffraction, X-ray microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical properties are analysing by Vickers test. The X-ray diffraction analyse point the formation of the Cr7C3, Cr23C6 carbides at 900°C; they transformed to ternary carbides in a highest temperature, but the Cr3C2 doesn’t appear. The X-ray microanalysis shows the diffusion mechanism between the chromium film and the steel sample; from the variation of: Cr, Fe, C, O elements concentration with the change of annealing temperature. The variation of annealing temperature shows a clean improvement in mechanical and structural properties, like the adhesion and the micro-hardness.

In this research, microstructure and mechanical properties of stir rheocast AA2024/TiB2 metal matrix composite have been investigated. The working temperature was 640℃, which was the selected semisolid temperature that corresponds to 40% of the solid fraction. Two weight percentage, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% of the TiB2 reinforcements were added to the matrix. The field emission scanning electron microscope micrographs of the developed composites showed a uniform distribution of the particles in the case of the 2 wt% and 4 wt% of the reinforcements. However, the particles agglomerated as the weight percentages of the reinforcement increases to 6%. The optical microscope of the liquid cast sample showed the dendritic structure, whereas the rheocast samples showed a globular structure. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the distribution of the reinforcements in the matrix and the formation of some intermetallic compounds. Mechanical properties significantly improved by the addition of the reinforcements in the matrix. An increase in tensile strength of 13.3%, 40%, 28%, and 5% was achieved for the unreinforced rheocast sample, 2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% reinforced rheocast samples respectively, compared to the liquid cast sample. An increase in 20% of hardness was attained for the composite with 2 wt% TiB2 compared to the liquid cast sample. According to the fractography analysis, small dimples were observed on the fractured surface of the unreinforced rheocast sample, whereas small and large voids were dominant on the fractured surface of the 2 wt% composite, which shows the ductile fracture mode.

Effects of extrusion on mechanical properties and damping capacity of Mg-1.8wt.%Cu -0.5wt.%Mn (MCM1805) alloy have been investigated. Tensile tests and dynamic mechanical analyzer were respectively used to measure tensile properties and damping capacity at room temperature of as-cast and as-extruded MCM1805 alloy. The microstructure was studied using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Granato-Lücke model was used to explain the influences of extrusion on damping capacity of MCM1805 alloy. The results showed that extrusion dramatically decreases the grain size but has little influence on phase composition and solute atoms concentration of MCM1805 alloy, and the grain refinement was the dominant reason for the obvious increase of tensile properties and decrease of internal friction of MCM1805 alloy.

Si and Ge ions are implanted into SiO2thin films, subsequently the annealing treatment are carried out. The samples exhibit photoluminescence (PL) peaks at 400, 470, 550 and 780 nm. With the annealing temperature increasing, the intensity of 400-470 nm PL band increases remarkably. After oxidation annealing treatment, the intensity of 400-470 nm PL band decreases, and that of 550 nm and 780 nm PL peaks rises. Combing with the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and PL measurement, we propose that the PL peaks at 400 nm, 470 nm, 550 nm and 780 nm originate from ≡Ge−Si≡ center, ≡Si−Si≡ center, SPR center and GeO center, respectively.

In this work, ?-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) was successfully prepared by the thermal transformation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursor. ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) was used for preparation of ACP precursor and played an important role in designing its special structure. The phase composition and microstructures of the obtained ?-TCP at different annealing temperature were analysed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, and confirmed that ?-TCP can be prepared at 650?C for 3 h using ACP as precursor, which is much lower than the phase transition temperature of ?-TCP. Mechanical properties were tested 24 h after mixing the obtained ?-TCP with 30 wt.% of deionised water. The compressive strength and the flexural strength were 26.4MPa and 12.0MPa, respectively. The flexural strength was higher than that of ?-TCP prepared by other methods.

The present work aimed to characterize the microstructure of the icosahedral phase (quasicrystalline phase-ϕ) of the system with stoichiometric composition of the quasicrystal Al63Cu25Fe12. The ternary alloy with nominal composition of Al63Cu25Fe12 was processed by mechanical alloying (MA) as a viable solid state processing method for producing various metastable and stable quasicrystalline phases. The structural characterization of the obtained samples was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while the elemental composition of the chemical elements Al, Fe and Cu were determined by X-ray spectroscopy technique of dispersive energy (EDS). According to the results of XRD, the diffraction patterns of Al63Cu25Fe12 showed the presence of β-Al(Fe, Cu) and λ-Al13Fe4 phases coexist with the thermodynamic ϕ-phase quasicrystalline. Finally, elemental analysis indicates that during alloy synthesis there is little variation of the ideal composition. The results indicate that alloys with high percentage of icosahedral phase can be obtained by casting in the air.
