The effects of near β heat treatment on the microstructure of TC18 alloy during three temperature stages were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the sample is tri-modal microstructure after near β heat treatment, and the size of αp does not significantly, but dispersible αs increases and has a tendency to merge, and then it would not grow up anymore ; β phase would grow up, but the grain boundary has some broken. The experiment result shows that the tri-modal microstructure could obtain high damage tolerance properties of titanium alloy in theory.

The effect of heat treatment on vacuum die-casting (VDC) AT72 magnesium alloy was studied. The optimal process of heat treatment was obtained. The result shows that the alloy was composed of α-Mg, Mg17Al12and Mg2Sn. After solution treatment at 686K for 24h, Mg17Al12completely dissolved in α-Mg matrix. With the aging treatment following solution treatment, Mg17Al12kept precipitating in the matrix and along grain boundary. Moreover, Mg2Sn distributed along the grain boundary did not disappear after solution treatment at 686K. This indicates that Mg2Sn phase exhibits very high thermal stability. The heat treatment process was optimized with solution at 686K for 24h plus ageing at 473K for 18h, in the condition of which AT72 magnesium alloy exhibits a maximum hardness with value of 90.8Hv. The successful application of heat treatment for AT72 magnesium alloy could be attributed to the elimination of the air bubble in the casing through VDC. However, the porosity in the cast couldnt be efficiently eliminated by VDC, which result in the growth of shrinkage pore.

The main causes of the damage of a compressor’s turbine blade are documented and described in the article. The turbine blade was made from titanium alloy grade 5 (VT6, Ti-6Al-4V). The analysed segments of the turbine blade were damaged by corrosion and erosion. The sample from the damaged blade was compared with an undamaged reference sample. The observed substantial distinctions between microstructure of the damaged and the reference sample were found using of light and scanning electron microscopy. The observed distinctions of the microstructure were caused by the differences in the heat treatment process.

The effects of solution temperature and aging temperature on microstructure of a new metastable β titanium alloy were studied. With the decrease of solution temperature, β grain size gradually decreased. When the solution temperature dropped to 780°C, the average grain size was about 10 μm. As the aging temperature increased from 500 °C to 560 °C, the secondary α phase increased. The nucleation of the secondary α phase within the grain was uniform, and its relationship with the β matrix was satisfied with Burgers. With the extension of aging time, the amount of the secondary α phases increased obviously, and they had a staggered arrangement with each other, presenting the phenomenon of the tensile strength increasing continuously. The strength level reached to 1500 MPa after aging at 500 °C for 8 h.

This study is conducted to analyze the effect on the Hardness and Micro Structural Behaviour of three Sample Grades of Tool Steel i.e. EN-31, EN-8, and D3 after Heat Treatment Processes Such As Annealing, Normalizing, and Hardening and Tempering. The purpose of Selecting Tool Steel is Because Tool Steel is Mostly Used in the Manufacturing Industry.This study is based upon the empirical study which means it is derived from experiment and observation rather than theory.

The paper presents a failure analysis on a counterweight assembly installed on crank shaft which resulted in an in-flight shutdown of a piston aeroengine. The counterweight assembly failure includes counterweight block material loss and fractured washer which is the most crucial part for in-flight shutdown in this type of aeroengine. Macro observation, fractography analysis, metallography analysis and hardness test were conducted on the failed counterweight assembly. The result shows that failure mechanism of counterweight block and washer is fatigue. The washer failure is likely due to inappropriate heat treatment process and continuous impact in flight by slightly tilted roller. Counterweight material loss is attributed to stress concentration, low structure strength and impact came from the tilted roller. Finally some safety suggestion on design and maintenance is given.

This study investigated the mechanical properties and microstructures of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. The research found that the H114-T sheet of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys showed a relative good comprehensive performance in mechanical properties. With the special rolling and heat treatment process, this H114-T sheet showed different morphology of microstructures with the other sheets in Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. Grains in H114-T sheet performed irregular shape polygon, a number of subgrains appeared in grains, the amount of dislocations in grains decreased. H114-T sheet possessed a lot of Copper texture, this may be one of important factors influenced the mechanical properties.
