Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn, β-phase titanium alloy, is subjected to study the temperature effects on microstructure and mechanical behavior by using different aging temperature (426 ∼ 600 oC) and high temperature (450oC) notched tensile test. It follows that the highest hardness of Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn would be got up to 420 Hv after 426 oC aging. Afterward, the hardness is decreasing with increasing aging temperature. By means of microstructure analyses, it reveals that the narrow and intragranular α-phase precipitates with lamella-shape in the grains at 426 oC aging treatment caused the age hardening of the titanium alloy. Subsequently, the α-phase precipitates were coarsening with increasing the aging temperature and showed the thick morphologies distributed along grain boundaries, which results in overaging. In the notched tensile test at 450oC, the highest notched tensile strength (1160 MPa) is also obtained after 426oC aging treatment, and then decreasing with increasing aging temperature. Its mechanical behavior is different from the room temperature notched tensile test, which demonstrates the lowest notched tensile strength (813 MPa) after 426 oC aging treatment due to the notched embrittlement effect. According to microstructure study, it suggests that the environment temperature effect enhanced the toughness of the alloy and terminated the notched embrittlement effect resulted from the 426oC aging treatment.

The effect of solution and aging temperatures on microstructure and tensile property of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Fe Alloy was investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength lowered, when the solution and aging temperature rose respectively. The alloy with different heat treatments showed better tensile strength totally, i.e. the minimum level of ultimate and yield strength passed 1280 MPa and 1245MPa. The highest ultimate tensile strength could reach 1445 MPa. After (α+β) solution and aging treatment, the microstructure consists of primary α phase and transformed β phase with fine secondary α phase precipitating to improve the tensile strength effectively.

The effect of aging treatments on the mechanical behavior of Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al (Ti153) alloy was evaluated in the present study. Properties of the two-step aged specimens were also compared with those of the one-step aged specimens. The second aging treatment, which was performed at 426o°C for 24 h, apparently raised the tensile strength at the expense of the notched tensile strength for the specimens previously aged at 426°C or below. On the other hand, the second-step aging had a minor effect on further hardening of the specimens prior to aging at 538°C and 593°C. In general, theJ-integral value (fracture toughness) had the same trend as that of the notch brittleness of the specimens. Overall, the specimens subjected to the two-step aging treatment did not show any advantage over the specimens subject to one-step aging treatment.

Two-phase TC21 titanium alloy samples were solution-treated at 990 °C (β phase zone) and cooled by furnace cooling (FC), air cooling (AC), and water quenching (WQ), respectively. The second solution stage treatment was carried out at 900 °C (α + β phase zone), then aging treatment was performed at 590 °C. The influence of the size and quantity of the α phase on the properties of the sample were studied. The experimental results showed as the cooling rate increased after the first solution stage treatment, wherein the thickness of primary layer α gradually decreased, and the tensile strength and yield strength gradually increased. After the second solution stage treatment, the tensile properties of samples increased due to the quantity of layers α increased. The aging treatment promoted the precipitation of the dispersed α phase and further improved the tensile strength. After the third solution stage treatments, the FC samples with more β-phase had the best comprehensive mechanical properties.

Purpose: This research examined the effects of artificial-aging temperature and time on tensile strength, hardness, microstructure, and fault morphology in AlSiMg. Design/methodology/approach: This research was conducted using aluminium alloy at 120°C, 150°C, and 180°C artificial-aging temperature and 6 hours holding time. The tensile test used ASTM B211-03 standard and hardness test adapted to ALCOA 6061 standard. Findings: Tensile test results indicated the highest tenacity on aluminium alloy at a 150ºC temperature that was 47.263% strain level. In addition to the strain level, this research also obtained the highest tensile strength level at 180ºC that was 62.267 kgf/mm2 and the highest hardness value that was 110 HV. The increase in tensile strength and hardness at 180°C was caused by the increase in Mg, Si, and Al. Based on the microstructure test, the highest tenacity was obtained at 150°C temperature as the result of closed and gathered Mg2Si precipitates; while at 180°C temperature, the precipitates appeared to be more distributed, causing a rise in hardness value and tensile strength. AlSiMg tenacity also exhibited from the number of dimples compared to cleavages at 150°C temperature. Research limitations/implications: The limitation that found in this research was conducted using AlSiMg aluminium Al6061 specimen with an artificial-aging treatment at 120ºC, 150°C, and 180°C temperature for 6 hours and then compared to the raw material. AlSiMg tensile specimen was made according to ASTM E8-E8M standard. Practical implications: This research can be applied in industrial manufacture process to find tensile strength, hardness, microstructure, and fault morphology of Al6061 alloy. Originality/value: According to research result, can be understood that by conducting these experiments, Artificial-aging treatment temperature variations in AlSiMg aluminium alloy could increase hardness.

This work presents a comprehensive study on the microstructure evolution and mechanical property under different heat treatment procedures of a new near β type titanium Ti-5321(Ti-5Al-3Mo-3V-2Cr-2Zr-1Nb-1Fe). Two solution temperatures(830°C and 900°C) and a group of aging temperatures(300-650°C) were carried out to investigate the influence of heat treatment on this new alloy. The strengthening mechanism of Ti-5321 after solution and aging treatment was discussed by analyzing the microstructure and its mechanical properties. The best ultimate tensile strength can be achieved to 1564 MPa with 5% on elongation when solution treated at 830°C and aging at 450°C for this new alloy. The lamellar and globular α grains can be found in all 830°C solution treated specimens which contribute to a better ductility. Ultra-fine α phase can be found in all low aging temperature treated specimens but will coarsen significantly when raising the aging temperature and thus increase the tensile strength and lower the ductility. All these results can provide a comprehensive guidance on heat treatment for this new near β type titanium in the future.

The evolution regularities of microstructure and property of a new metastable β titanium alloy with different solution treatment and aging treatment were studied using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile test. The results show that, the volume fraction of primary α phase decreases and globularization of α phase occurs with the increasing aging temperature from 540 to 580 and solution treated temperature from 800 to 820. When the solution treated temperature is 820, the acicular secondary α phase precipitates along β grain boundary. The strength of the investigated alloy increases and the ductility decreases with the solution treated temperature increasing. While the strength of the investigated alloy increases and the ductility decreases with the aging temperature decreasing.

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.

Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn, β-phase titanium alloy, is subjected to study the microstructure and mechanical behavior after thermohydrogen processing. It aims to study the relationship between microstructure modification and notched tensile test at room temperature. Meanwhile, the notched tensile test and fracture features of Ti-15-3 alloy without THP is also discussed. It follows that the hardness of Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn would be clearly enhaced up to Hv 499 after thermohydrogen processing due to grain refinement. Besides, the notched tensile strength of the as-received specimen is about 904 MPa, and is increased to 959 MPa after THP, that is, Ti-15-3 alloy after THP shows higher hardness and notched tensile strength than as-received alloy. The enhanced high hardness does not induce a significant notched embrittlement effect.
