The joining of high-temperature titanium alloy is attracting much attention in aerospace applications. However, the defects are easily formed during laser welding of titanium alloys, which weakens the joint mechanical properties. In this work, laser oscillating welding was applied to join TC31 high-temperature titanium alloy. The weld appearance, microstructure and mechanical properties of the laser welds were investigated. The results show that sound joints were formed by using laser oscillating welding method, and a large amount of martensite was presented in the welds. High mechanical properties were achieved, which was approaching to (or even equaled) the strength of the base material. The joints exhibited a tensile strength of up to 1200 ± 10 MPa at room temperature and 638 ± 6 MPa at 923 K. Laser oscillating welding is beneficial to the repression of porosity for welding high-temperature titanium alloy.

Strength And Ductility

The microstructure stability and tensile properties of Ti-15-3 titanium alloy were investigated by aging the alloy at different conditions. The results showed that when the temperature was below 250°C, ω phase precipitates and the tensile strength increased with increasing aging time. Although there were a little of ω phase after aging at 200C for 1000h, Ti-15-3 alloy still presented good strength and ductility. When the aging temperature was 250°C~400°C, ω precipitation or β’ phase separation occurred from β matrix, and finally transformed to α precipitates. The tensile strength increased firstly and then decreased with increasing aging time. When aged at above 400°C, α phase precipitated fast from the alloy, and the strength increased gradually.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

This paper investigates the effect of Fe, Cr and B additions, in small proportions, as alloying elements in Ni3Al with the purpose to reduce its intrinsic fragility and extrinsic embrittlement and to enhance, in the same time, its mechanical properties. It represents a development of some previous research works of the authors, proving that Ni3Al-Fe-Cr-B alloys obtained by reactive synthesis (SHS) starting from Mechanically Alloyed powder mixtures have superior both room temperature tensile strength and ductility, and compression ones at temperatures up to 800 °C, than pure Ni3Al. These create premises for their using as superalloys substitutes.

The elastic properties of nickel beryllide have been evaluated from room temperature to 1000 °C. The room temperature modulus is measured to be 186 GPa, which is relatively low by comparison with other B2 aluminides such as NiAl and CoAl. Hardness measurements were carried out on specimens that had compositions over the range from 49 to 54 at. % Be, using both a Vickers microhardness tester and a nanoindentor. It was found that the hardness of NiBe exhibits a minimum at the equiatomic composition. This behavior is similar to that of aluminides of the same crystal structure, e.g., NiAl and CoAl. The effect of interstitial oxygen on the hardness of NiBe has also been studied and the results show that the presence of oxygen in NiBe can cause a significant increase in hardness. It is demonstrated that the hardness increase for the off-stoichiometric compositions is primarily caused by interstitial oxygen and can only be attributed partially to anti-site defects generated in off-stoichiometric compositions. Nickel beryllides appear to have some intrinsic room temperature ductility, as evidenced by the absence of cracking near hardness indentations.

The present study focuses on the effect of 1% Zr addition on the microstructure, tensile properties and superplasticity of a forged SP700 alloy. The results demonstrated that Zr has a significant effect on inhibiting the microstructural segregation and increasing the volume fraction of β-phase in the forged SP700 alloy. After annealing at 820 °C for 1 h and aging at 500 °C for 6 h, the SP700 alloy with 1% Zr showed a completely globular and fine microstructure. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and tensile elongation of the alloy with optimized microstructure were 1185 MPa, 1296 MPa and 10%, respectively. The superplastic deformation was performed at 750 °C with an elongation of 1248%. The improvement of tensile properties and superplasticity of the forged SP700 alloy by Zr addition was mainly attributed to the uniform and fine globular microstructures.

Angular Pressing

The effects of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), further heat treatment and rolling on the structure and room temperature mechanical properties of the commercial aluminum alloys 6061 (Al-0.9Mg-0.7Si) and 1560 (Al-6.5Mg-0.6Mn) were investigated. It has been shown that the strength of the alloys after ECAP is higher than that achieved after conventional processing. Prior ECAP solution treatment and post-ECAP ageing can additionally increase the strength of the 6061 alloy. Under optimal ageing conditions a yield strength (YS) of 434 MPa and am ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 470 MPa were obtained for the alloy. Additional cold rolling leads to a YS and UTS of 475 and 500 MPa with 8% elongation. It was found that the post-ECAP isothermal rolling of the 1560 alloy resulted in the formation of a nano-fibred structure and a tensile strength (YS = 540 MPa and UTS = 635 MPa) that has never previously been observed in commercial non-heat treatable alloys.

In this work, ECAP technique was combined with cold rolling process in order to enhance mechanical properties and microstructure of pure Titanium. Coarse grain (CG) Titanium with original grain size of 150 μm had been pressed by ECAP at 425oC by 4, 8 and 12 passes, respectively. This process then was followed by rolling at room temperature with 35%, 55%, and 75% rolling strains. After two steps, mechanical properties such as strength, hardness and microstructure of processed Titanium have been measured. The result indicated significant effect of cold rolling on tensile strength, hardness and microstructure of ECAP-Titanium.

The microstructures and room temperature and 600°C tensile properties of Ti-5.8Al-4.0Sn-4.0Zr-0.7Nb -0.4Si-1.5Ta alloy after isothermal forging have been studied. The forging temperature range was from 850°C to 1075°C, and the constant strain rate of 8×10-3/S-1 was adopted. With the increase of forging temperature, the volume fraction of primary α phase decreased and the lamellar α phase became thicker when the temperatures were in range of 850°C -1040°C; The grain size became uneven and the α phase had different forms when the forging temperature was 1040°C and 1075°C respectively; The tensile strength was not sensitive to the temperature and the most difference was within 20MPa. Tensile strength and yield strength attained to the maximum when temperature was 1020°C; the ductility decreased with the increase of forging temperature, and this trend became more obvious if forging temperature was above the β-transus temperature.

New Type

A new type of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si series high temperature titanium alloy was prepared by a water-cooled copper crucible vacuum induction melting method, and its phase transition point was determined by differential thermal analysis to be Tβ = 1017 °C. The influences of solution temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-forged high temperature titanium alloy were studied. XRD results illustrated that the phase composition of the alloy after different heat treatments was mainly α phase and β phase. The microstructures showed that with the increase of the solution temperature, the content of the primary α phase gradually reduced, the β transformation structure increased by degrees, then, the number and size of secondary α phase increased obviously. The tensile results at room temperature (RT) illustrated that as the solution temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually increased, and the plasticity decreased slightly. The results of tensile test at 650 °C illustrated that the strength of the alloy enhanced with the increase of solution temperature, the plasticity decreased first and then increased, when the solution temperature increased to 1000 °C, the alloy had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, the tensile strength reached 714.01 MPa and the elongation was 8.48 %. Based on the room temperature and high temperature properties of the alloy, the best heat treatment process is finally determined as: 1000 °C/1 h/AC+650 °C/6 h/AC.
