Normalizing is a kind of heat treatments, which have lower cost and higher efficiency. Through this process, the ship plate steel’s microstructure and performance can be promoted evidently. This article studies the effect of normalizing temperature on the microstructure and performance of controlled rolling and controlled cooling (TMCP) EH36 ship plate steel with the thickness of 15mm ,by mechanical properties text and optical microscopy. The results show that the comprehensive property of TMCP ship plate steel can be enhanced remarkably,although it’s hardness could be decrease,the plasticity of it can be improved obviously,especially the low temperature impact property. With the increasing of normalizing temperature,the grain grows,the impact property is decreased.

Non-degradable properties of polyethylene (PE) films due to long-chain structure cause increment of solid waste plastic. Many researchers, with different purposes, have studied the incorporation of functional materials to PE. Studying the impact of incorporation of aloe vera (AV) into PE films in terms of its characteristic and mechanical properties is the main objective of this paper. The films were prepared using melt-blending and hot press technique. The characterization assessed for the PE and PE-AV films were spectroscopy, crystalline phase, thermal analysis and performance of mechanical properties of the sample.  The functional group detected in spectroscopy studied did not show any changes for PE film or PE with the presence of AV. Lower thermal degradation temperature (Td) obtained for PE-AV3 while others film found no significant changes of Td value and only one peak of thermal degradation occurred for all film. The same goes to the analysis obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data. However, the crystalline structure displayed momentous peak changes for PE with AV. The highest tensile strength (TS) obtained by PE-AV3, at once developing highest value of Young’s modulus (YM), modulus of resilience (UE) and modulus of toughness (UT). A certain amount of AV has substantial effect on changing the polymeric structure especially improving the mechanical properties of PE film. Therefore, AV has potential to become an additive for developing a new partially degradable PE film.

We examined the effects of tempering process and alloying elements on the microstucture, tensile properties, bendability and impact property of direct quenched (DQ), and re-austenitizing and quenched (RQ) low-carbon martensitic steels. For this purpose, four low carbon martensitic steels (Fe-0.07C-1.8Mn-Cr-Nb-Ti-B) were selected. We have investigated the effects of tempering temperature and alloying elements of chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb) on mechanical properties and microstructures. Mechanical properties and microstructures were analyzed as well using tensile test, V-bending test, charpy V-notched impact test and electron microscopy for DQ, DQ and tempered (DQ-T), RQ and RQ and tempered (RQ-T) low-carbon martensitic steels. It has been found that the as-quenched microstructures of the DQ and RQ specimens were fully martensitic structure. Prior austenite grain size and effective grain size after quenching were larger in the case of RQ steel. In both cases, tempering made the needle-shaped carbides. It is shown that the strength decreased when the tempering temperature increased. The strengths of the DQ and DQ-T steels were 30~50MPa higher than those of the RQ and RQ-T steels. Despite the higher strength of the DQ and DQ-T states, both had similar impact properties with the RQ and RQ-T states. However, the impact properties of the Nb added RQ and RQ-T steels with fine martensite morphology exhibited higher than those of DQ and DQ-T steels.

By way of alloying, a sort of low-chromium heat-resistant ductile iron material was developed. Through the observation of microstructure, testing of mechanical properties and process performance, heat-resistant test, the microstructure and properties of heat resistant ductile iron of low chromium was studied. The results show that microstructure of the developed heat-resistant ductile iron is spherical graphite distributed regularly on matrix of pearlite and a small amount of ferrite; mechanical properties, processing performance and high-temperature heat resistance of samples of different chrome composition are preferable, but 1.6% of chromium component possess the best performance.

Characteristics of deformation-induced transformation (DIT) in the refractory low alloy steel 2.25Cr1Mo were experimentally studied. Effect of different controlled-rolling and controlled-cooling process on the steel microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated and the mechanism was discussed. Results show that the grain size and the ferrite volume fraction were obviously affected by the rolling and cooling processes. Proper DIT technique may significantly accelerate the transformation of austenite to ferrite in the steel and improve the steel strength.

Superplastic forming (SPF) is an important process for forming fine grained 1420 Al-Li alloy. However, the mechanical properties will be decreased after deforming at high temperature. How to obtain the optimize relationship of strength and ductility after SPF is one of the key problems for the process. In this paper, a set of artificial aging tests including single and two-step aging were carried out, which are the typical strengthening process for Al-Li alloy. Based on experimental results, strength and elongation were studied by means of tensile tests at room temperature, and the effect of aging processes on mechanical properties was analyzed. Finally, the microstructures fore and after aging were examined by OM and TEM, and the strengthening mechanism of 1420 Al-Li alloy was further studied. It is found that artificial aging especially two-step aging can increase mechanical properties of post-SPF material obviously, and δ (Al3Li) is the primary strengthening phase.

An ultrahigh carbon steel alloy containing 1.4 wt pct carbon (UHCS-1.4C) was studied. The steel was processed into ultrafine grain and fully spheroidized microstructure through a controlled rolling and controlled-cooling divorced eutectoid transformation, and was then given austempering treatment to form bainite. The mechanical properties of the heat-treated steel were evaluated by tension tests at room temperature. After austenitized at 850 °C and then austempered at 300 - 350 °C, the microstructure was ultrafine upper bainite, retained austenite, and unsolvable cementite. It was shown that the ultimate tensile strengths of UHCS-1.4C ranged from 1420 to 1830 MPa, elongations to failure from 6 to 14%; the ultimate tensile strength increases with decreasing austempering temperature, while the tensile ductility decreases. The fracture surface of bainitic UHCS-1.4C consists mainly of dimples and voids, which reveal a ductile fracture. The present results indicate that ultrahigh carbon steel can be easily processed to achieve bainitic microstructures and unique properties.

This work mainly investigated the influence of element Nd on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Zn-25Al-5Mg-2.5Si alloys with different Nd contents. The tensile and hardness tests were carried out at room and elevated temperatures. The results show that the addition of element Nd leads to the grain refining and the formation of Al2Nd and NdZn2 phases in the microstructure, and the mechanical properties of the alloys rise at first and then drop with the increasing of Nd content. The optimization of microstructure and performance especially the tensile strength at high temperature is obtained when Nd content is 0.8 wt.%. It can result in increase of tensile strength by 48.8% and micro-hardness by 67.4% at 180。C.
