On the basis of processing the PCrNi3MoVA steel with cryogenic treatment and then experimenting with the static tensile and impulse at room temperature, the effects of cryogenic treatment on macro-mechanical properties of the material is studied. The test results show that tensile mechanical property of PCrNi3MoVA steel can be improved with appropriate number of cryogenic treatment, otherwise can be weakened if the number is inappropriate; at the same time, there is no influence of cryogenic treatment on impact toughness of the material

Current work reports on evaluation of bulk mechanical properties of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with functionalized 1D (Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes- (MWCNTs) and 2D (hexagonal-Boron Nitride Nanoplatelets-(h-BNNPs) fillers. Mechanical mixing and injection moulding technique was used to prepare the composites. Evaluation of bulk mechanical properties like hardness, yield stress, fracture stress, impact toughness and Young`s modulus was carried out. The optimum properties were exhibited by HDPE/0.25 MWCNT/0.1 BNNP. Hardness, yield stress, fracture stress, impact toughness and Young`s modulus was observed to increase by 93.84, 80.83, 59.23, 115 and 42.05% on comparison with pure HDPE. TEM images confirm the tubular and hexagonal morphology of MWCNT and h-BNNP. It is concluded from test results that addition of MWCNT and h-BNNP into HDPE has improvised mechanical properties.

After reheated at different temperatures for 5 minutes, the 400MPa Ultrafine Grained Steel specimens were air-cooled to room temperature, and then carried out the mechanical nanocrystallization surface treatment and structure performance testing. On the basis of comparing the test results on the specimens before and after the mechanical nanocrystallization surface treatment, the process of mechanical nanocrystallization was analyzed briefly. The results show that: as the reheating temperature rising, the trend of grain size growing increases markedly, and the mechanical properties also drop down to different degrees; when the reheating temperature is around 800°C, because of the pearlite spheroidized significantly, its mechanical properties drop the most seriously; after the mechanical nanocrystallization surface treatment, not only its surface form a layer of fine nano-layer (about 100 nm) structure, but also its mechanical properties rise obviously, and the yield strength is over 450MPa.

Al2O3 particles reinforced ZL109 composites were prepared by in-situ reaction between Fe2O3+MnO2 and Al in this paper. The influence of ratio of Mn to Fe on the morphologies of Al-Si-Mn-Fe phase and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The microstructure was studied by electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the Al2O3 particles displaced by the Fe2O3+MnO2/Al system are in nanosize. The acicular Al-Si-Fe phases change from acicular to polygonal shape and become smaller with the increase manganese content. The hardness test results have no big difference on the composites. However, the ultimate tensile strength at room temperature and 350°C enhance evidently with the increasing of Mn/Fe.

The effects of rare earth metals on the inclusions and the mechanical properties of 21Cr11Ni austenitic steel were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the morphologies and sizes of inclusions in 21Cr11Ni stainless steel are changed, and rare earth played a very good role of modifying inclusions. The fracture mode of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but quasi-cleavage and dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with 21Cr11Ni stainless steel without RE, the transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel with RE is increased 25.33% at-40°C, and the room temperature strength are improved, the elongation and reduction of area have been improved 9.18%, 12.71% respectively.

Microstructures and phase compositions of as-cast and extruded ZK60-xHo (x=0~5) alloys were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. Meanwhile, tensile mechanical property and impact toughness were tested. The results showed that as-cast microstructure was refined gradually with increasing the Ho content. Mg-Zn-Ho new phase increased gradually, while MgZn2 phase reduced gradually to disappear. Second phase tended to distribute along grain boundary by continuous network. As-cast tensile mechanical property remained almost unchanged and impact toughness value αnK was low (9~17 J/cm2). After extrusion by λ=40/T=593 K, grain size reached the micron level (1~5 μm) and broken second phase distributed dispersedly. Extruded tensile mechanical property was enhanced obviously. Tensile strength σb at ambient temperature increased gradually from 355 MPa for ZK60 alloy to 375 MPa for ZK60-4.77Ho alloy, while elongation δ decreased gradually from 19.5% to 12.5%. σb at 473 K increased gradually from 120 MPa to 169 MPa. Meanwhile, αnK was enhanced to 26~54 J/cm2. Fine grain and few fine dispersed second phase enhanced the tensile mechanical property and impacted toughness of magnesium alloys effectively.

In this work, the effects of various conditions of short-term rejuvenation heat treatment on room-temperature mechanical properties of long-term aged P92 boiler steel were investigated. Normalized and tempered P92 steel pipe was thermally exposed at 600 °C for time durations up to 5000 h in order to simulate high-temperature material degradation, as also occurring in service conditions. Thus, thermally embrittled material states of P92 steel were prepared, showing tempered martensitic microstructures with coarsened secondary phase precipitates of Cr23C6-based carbides and Fe2W-based Laves phase. Compared with the initial normalized and tempered material condition, thermally aged materials exhibited a slight decrease in strength properties (i.e., yield stress and ultimate tensile strength) and deformation properties (i.e., total elongation and reduction of area). The hardness values were almost unaffected, whereas the impact toughness values showed a steep decrease after long-term ageing. An idea for designing the rejuvenation heat treatments for restoration of impact toughness was based on tuning the material properties by short-term annealing effects at various selected temperatures somewhat above the long-term ageing temperature of P92 material. Specifically, the proposed heat treatments were performed within the temperature range between 680 °C and 740 °C, employing variable heating up and cooling down conditions. It was revealed that short-term annealing at 740 °C for 1 h with subsequent rapid cooling into water represents the most efficient rejuvenation heat treatment procedure of thermally aged P92 steel for full restoration of impact toughness up to original values of normalized and tempered material state. Microstructural observations clearly indicated partial dissolution of the Laves phase precipitates to be the crucial phenomenon that played a key role in restoring the impact toughness.

Aging heat treatment is the most commonly used strengthening method for Al–Mg–Si alloys since high-density precipitates will be formed to hinder the movement of dislocations. In the current work, room temperature cyclic deformation was attempted to strengthen the alloy. We compared tensile test results of aged samples and cyclically deformed samples. It was found that cyclically deformed samples can achieve similar strength and approximately twice the uniform elongation as the peak aged samples. The high density of dislocations and nanoclusters observed in the cyclically deformed samples is thought to be the main reason for strengthening. Different cyclic deformation conditions have been tried and their effects were discussed.

The effect of cryogenic treatment on mechanical properties and wear resistance at room temperature of 06Cr19Ni10 austenitic stainless steel was studied in the present study. The cryogenic treatment process was carried out at-160 and different time in program-controlled cryogenic container. The results showed that, after cryogenic treatment, the room-temperature mechanical properties of the 06Cr19Ni10 steel remained stable without embrittlement, friction coefficient of the 06Cr19Ni10 steel decreased and the wear resistance improved after cryogenic treatment. When cryogenic treatment was treated at-160 for two hours and thirty minutes, the friction coefficient of the 06Cr19Ni10 steel was the smallest and wear resistance was the best.
