The tensile yield strength of AM1 and MC-NG single crystal superalloys with a γ’ precipitate size close to 300 nm were compared within the 20-1050°C temperature range. The room temperature yield strength of the fourth generation MC-NG superalloy is about 200 MPa less than that of the AM1 first generation one. Inversely, at higher temperatures (T > 800°C), the tensile strength of MC-NG is higher than that of AM1. These results are discussed by taking into account the elementary deformation mechanisms and the respective strengths of the γ and γ’ phases. Experiments on a modified MC-NG alloy show that reinforcing the γ’ phase by increasing the contents of Ti and Ta is an efficient way to recover a higher tensile strength at low temperatures. Rhenium addition and increase of the γ’ solvus temperature are suggested to be beneficial for the high temperature tensile strength. Data published on various other single crystals are in agreement with these hypotheses.

The tensile properties of a low-cost first generation single crystal superalloy DD16 have been investigated. The results show that values of the tensile strength and yield strength of DD16 alloy were similar at typical temperatures; from room temperature to 760, the yield strength of DD16 alloy increases; However, above 760, the yield strength of DD16 alloy decreases remarkably, and the maximum of the yield strength was 1145.5MPa at 760. From room temperature to 760, the fracture mode was cleavage fracture; But above 760, the fracture characteristics changed from cleavage to dimple.

The present work mainly investigated the effect of extrusion temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-1.3Zn-0.5Ca (wt.%) alloys. The alloys were subjected to extrusion at 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C with an extrusion ratio of 9.37. The results demonstrated that both the average size and volume fraction of dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grains increased with increasing extrusion temperature (DRXed fractions of 0.43, 0.61, and 0.97 for 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C, respectively). Moreover, the as-extruded alloys exhibited a typical basal fiber texture. The alloy extruded at 300 °C had a microstructure composed of fine DRXed grains of ~1.54 µm and strongly textured elongated unDRXed grains. It also had an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 355 MPa, tensile yield strength (TYS) of 284 MPa, and an elongation (EL) of 5.7%. In contrast, after extrusion at 400 °C, the microstructure was almost completely DRXed with a greatly weakened texture, resulting in an improved EL of 15.1% and UTS of 274 MPa, TYS of 220 MPa. At the intermediate temperature of 350 °C, the alloy had a UTS of 298 MPa, TYS of 234 MPa, and EL of 12.8%.

The extrusion process with a large extrusion ratio (36:1) has a great effect on microstructure refinement and strength improvement of the Mg-10Gd-2Y-0.5Zn-0.3Zr alloy. The tensile yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation of the extruded alloy are 306MPa, 410MPa, and 16.3%, respectively. The causes of strength improvement of the extruded alloy are discussed in detail. The grain refinement is a main strengthening source, contributing ~67MPa to the tensile yield strength of the extruded alloy. Dense precipitation of long period stacking ordered (LPSO) and β′ phases on the matrix and transformation of texture type in the extrusion process also partly increase the strength. In addition, a small number of {10 1 ¯ 2} twins during tensile test is another factor improving the strength of the extruded alloy.

The mechanical properties of g-TiAl at elevated temperatures have been investigated extensively over the last 30 years. Designed alloys have been proposed from the first generation alloy (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb) to the second, the third and the fourth generations. However, a decisive chemical composition of g-TiAl has not been agreed among researchers yet. The main reasons for this situation are difficulties in compositional control of Ti-Al-X-Y. In this paper, the high temperature tensile properties of g-TiAl alloy with lots of different composition have been examined from the room temperature to 1200C and the tensile strength data of those specimens have been summarized. It is clear that Ti/Al atomic ratio plays an important role on the behaviors of the high temperature strength since the Ti/Al atomic ratio is strongly related to the phase stabilities between g and a2phases in the binary Ti-Al phase diagram. A very narrow confine of a/a2atomic ratio exists in the specimens having the comparatively high tensile strength at the elevated temperatures. Moreover, additions of the third elements such as Cr, Nb, Ta and W to g-TiAl contribute on the increase of the tensile strength and the shift of the phase stability among a2, b and g phases. In order to utilize g-TiAl alloys in the various machine components at high temperatures, the severe process controls of melting, casting, thermo-mechanical treatments and heat treatments are indispensable.

The microstructure, high temperature tensile behavior of the DS NiAl-Cr(Mo)-W/Nb alloy have been investigated. The transverse microstructure of the alloy consists typically of eutectic colonies of NiAl and Cr(Mo) phase with white phases segregating at the cell boundaries. The white phase is possibly Cr(Mo) phase containing large amount of Nb and W elements. The longtitudinal microstructure of the alloy is lamellar with the direction basically parallel to the directional solidification direction. The tensile yield strength and ultimate strength of the DS NiAl-Cr(Mo)-W/Nb alloy are much higher than that of the general cast NiAl-Cr(Mo)-W/Nb alloy, and the elongation of the alloy is also higher than that of the general cast alloy. The fracture is debonding along phase boundary and cleavage.

ABSTRACTIn-situ composite fibers produced by directional solidification of two phase oxide eutectics are one means of producing fibers with good strength and higher creep resistance than single crystal fibers. In this work, directionally solidified alumina-yttria stabilized zirconia eutectic fibers have been grown by the laser heated float zone (LHFZ) method at NASA Lewis. The average tensile strength of the alumina-zirconia (60.8 m/o Al2O3; 39.2 m/o ZrO2 (9.5 m/o Y2O3)) eutectic fibers was 1.2 GPa at room temperature. The high temperature tensile strength and creep resistance of the eutectic fiber were determined and compared to single crystal Al2O3.
