This paper reviews the phase structures and oxidation kinetics of complex Ti-Al alloys at oxidation temperatures in the range of 600–1000 °C. The mass gain and parabolic rate constants of the alloys under isothermal exposure at 100 h (or equivalent to cyclic exposure for 300 cycles) is compared. Of the alloying elements investigated, Si appeared to be the most effective in improving the oxidation resistance of Ti-Al alloys at high temperatures. The effect of alloying elements on the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys is also discussed. Significant improvement of the mechanical properties of Ti-Al alloys by element additions has been observed through the formation of new phases, grain refinement, and solid solution strengthening.

Solution Strengthening

The Cu-Cr and Cu-Cr-Ti alloy plates were prepared by vacuum melting and plastic deformation. The effect of slight Ti element on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-Cr alloy was discussed. The result shows that Cr particles with spherical shape precipitated from Cu matrix after aging. Plenty Ti atoms dissolved in the vicinity of Cr particles and there were still parts of solid solution Ti atoms in other regions. Improvements in peak hardness and softening resistance were achieved with the addition of Ti element in Cu-Cr alloy. The addition of 0.1 wt.% Ti element makes Cu-Cr alloy possess tensile strength of 565 MPa and hardness of 185.9 HV after aging at 450 °C for 120 min, which can be attributed to multiple strengthening mechanisms, i.e. work hardening, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

ABSTRACTIt was experimentally shown that the achievement of a high deforming stress level due to dispersion hardening and solid solution strengthening of FCC single crystals with a low stacking-fault energy leads to the deformation mechanism changing from slip to twinning, the dependence of mechanical properties on a crystal orientation and a sign of applied stresses. During deformation by twinning at T<150–300K effects of pseudoelasticity associated with elastic twinning is observed.

ABSTRACTSubstantial solid solution strengthening of GaAs by In acting as InAs4 units has recently been predicted. This strengthening could account for the reduction of dislocation density in GaAs single crystals grown from the melt. High temperature hardness measurements up to 700ºC have been carried out on (100) GaAs and Ga0.9975 In0.0025 As wafers. Results show a significant strengthening effect in In—doped GaAs even at concentration levels of about 0.2 wt%. A temperature independent flow stress region is observed for both these alloys. The In—doped GaAs shows ahigher plateau stress level compared to the undoped GaAs. The results are consistent with the solid solution strengthening model.

Solution Strengthening

With different heat treatment, the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloy were investigated. It can be concluded that heat treatment has great effect on mechanical properties of ZK60. With artificial aging after extruding, the precipitation of the second phase from the supersaturated solid solution significantly improved mechanical properties. It can greatly increase yield strength of ZK60 alloy, while the tensile strength has little change. For the combination of solid solution strengthening and age hardening, two opposite factors must be considered. On one hand, the solid solution strengthening and the later precipitation strengthening is good for alloy’s strength; on the other hand, the properties decrease as the grains grew under high temperature for a long time during solution heating.

AbstractOrientation-dependent solid solution strengthening was explored through a combined microtexture plus nanoindentation study. Pure zirconium (6N purity crystal-bar Zr) and commercial Zircaloy-2 were investigated for comparison. Local mechanical properties were estimated through finite element (FE) simulations of the unloading part of the nanoindentation load–displacement response. Combinations of ‘averaging’ scheme and constitutive relationship were used to resolve uncertainty of FE-extracted mechanical properties. Comparing the two grades, non-basal oriented grains showed an overall hardening and increase in elastic modulus. In contrast, insignificant change was observed for basal (or near-basal) oriented grains. The strengthening of non-basal orientations appeared via elimination of the lowest hardness/stiffness values without a shift in the peak value. Such asymmetric development brought out the clear picture of orientation-dependent solid solution strengthening in zirconium.

Abstract Sesquioxides such as Y2O3 and Sc2O3 are important optical materials, but the fabrication of their transparent ceramics remains a challenge due to the ultra-high melting point of over 2400 oC. In this work, a series of (Y1-xScx)2O3 transparent ceramics were successfully fabricated by a simple vacuum sintering process without any sintering additives, and the effect of Scandium (Sc) content on the crystal structure and optical/thermal/mechanical properties were evaluated. Y2O3 and Sc2O3 form a complete solid solution with a cubic bixbyite structure. The formation of (Y1-xScx)2O3 solid solution promotes the densification of ceramics, leading to the realization of high transparency close to the theoretical transmittance over a wide wavelength range of 0.35-8 mm. In particular, the in-line transmittance in the range of 0.6-6 mm remains above 80% for (Y1-xScx)2O3 with x = 0.23-0.31, while the pristine Y2O3 and Sc2O3 are opaque. Moreover, the mechanical properties including Vickers hardness (Hv), fracture toughness (KIC), and biaxial strength (δb) are evidently enhanced due to the solid solution strengthening, while the thermal conductivity is reduced due to the reduction of photon free path. This study demonstrates that forming of solid solution is a facile and universal approach for preparing sesquioxides transparent ceramics with high optical and mechanical quality.

This work sought to examine the suitability of twin roll strip casting for Ag-27%Cu- 25%Zn-3%Sn brazing alloy (BAg-7A) and to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructure of the strip. The effect of aging heat treatment on the properties was also studied. This new manufacturing process has applications in the production of the brazing alloy. XRD and microstructural analysis of the Ag-27%Cu-25%Zn-3%Sn strip represented eutectic microstructure of a Cu-rich phase and a Ag-rich matrix regardless of heat treatment. The results of mechanical tests showed tensile strength of 470MPa, a significant enhancement; and an 18% elongation of the twin roll casted strip, due mainly to the solid solution strengthening of Zn atoms (~20%) in the Cu-rich phases. Tensile results showed gradually decreasing strengths and increasing elongation with aging heat treatment. Microstructural evolution and fractography were also investigated and related to the mechanical properties.
