In this research, formation mechanism of a Cu/10 wt.% Cr-10 wt.% Al2O3 nanocomposite via mechanical alloying and subsequent heat treatment has been investigated. It was found that during milling process, Cu (Al) solid solution and Cu9Al4 phase were formed as intermediate products. Further heat treatment carried out under argon atmosphere at 900°C for 8 hours resulted in completion of Cr2O3 reduction by Al. The mechanism of in-situ formation of Al2O3 reinforcement in the copper matrix was also discussed as a two stages process. The SEM and TEM results confirmed the proposed mechanism and showed that the Cr dispersoids surrounded by Al2O3, in the nanometric scale. Also, the Cu matrix with mean crystallite size of 30 nm was stable at high temperature.

Microlaminate composites consisting of alternating layers of a high temperature intermetallic compound for elevated temperature strength and a ductile refractory metal for toughening may have uses in aircraft engine turbines. Microstructural stability at elevated temperatures is a crucial requirement for these composites. A microlaminate composite consisting of alternating layers of Cr2Nb and Nb(Cr) was produced by vapor phase deposition. The stability of the layers at elevated temperatures was investigated by cross-sectional TEM.The as-deposited composite consists of layers of a Nb(Cr) solid solution with a composition in atomic percent of 91% Nb and 9% Cr. It has a bcc structure with highly elongated grains. Alternating with this Nb(Cr) layer is the Cr2Nb layer. However, this layer has deposited as a fine grain Cr(Nb) solid solution with a metastable bcc structure and a lattice parameter about half way between that of pure Nb and pure Cr. The atomic composition of this layer is 60% Cr and 40% Nb. The interface between the layers in the as-deposited condition appears very flat (figure 1). After a two hour, 1200 °C heat treatment, the metastable Cr(Nb) layer transforms to the Cr2Nb phase with the C15 cubic structure. Grain coarsening occurs in the Nb(Cr) layer and the interface between the layers roughen. The roughening of the interface is a prelude to an instability of the interface at higher heat treatment temperatures with perturbations of the Cr2Nb grains penetrating into the Nb(Cr) layer.

TiAl-based intermetallic alloys have come to the fore as the preferred alloys for high-temperature applications. Conventional methods (casting, forging, sheet forming, extrusion, etc.) have been applied to produce TiAl intermetallic alloys. However, the inherent limitations of conventional methods do not permit the production of the TiAl alloys with intricate geometries. Additive manufacturing technologies such as electron beam melting (EBM) and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), were used to produce TiAl alloys with complex geometries. EBM technology can produce crack-free TiAl components but lacks geometrical accuracy. LPBF technology has great geometrical precision that could be used to produce TiAl alloys with tailored complex geometries, but cannot produce crack-free TiAl components. To satisfy the current industrial requirement of producing crack-free TiAl alloys with tailored geometries, the paper proposes a new heating model for the LPBF manufacturing process. The model could maintain even temperature between the solidified and subsequent layers, reducing temperature gradients (residual stress), which could eliminate crack formation. The new conceptualized model also opens a window for in situ heat treatment of the built samples to obtain the desired TiAl (γ-phase) and Ti3Al (α2-phase) intermetallic phases for high-temperature operations. In situ heat treatment would also improve the homogeneity of the microstructure of LPBF manufactured samples.

SiC-AlN solid solution powders were prepared from the mixtures of aluminum, silicon and carbon black in a nitrogen atmosphere with preheating self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The powders synthesized with different ratios of Al/Si were mixed with paraffin wax and the microwave permittivity of the mixtures was measured at the frequency of 8.2~12.4GHz. The results were contrasted with that of SiC powders synthesized by preheating SHS in argon and nitrogen atmosphere respectively. The ε′, ε″, and the tgδ (ε″/ε′) of the mixture of SiC prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere are highest, followed with those of the SiC-AlN solid solution powders and the SiC powders prepared in an argon atmosphere. Along with the increase of atomic ratio of Al/Si, the ε′, ε″, and tgδ of SiC-AlN solid solution decrease. We believe that, with the increase of AlN dissolved, the concentration of carriers and the effect of dielectric relaxation will decrease because of the two contrary dopants.

Silicon-silicon carbide (Si-SiC) composite powders were synthesized by in-situ self- propagating high-temperature synthesis using rice husk ash (RHA)/carbon/Mg as precursors in argon atmosphere. The as-SHS powders were leached by two leaching steps. The microstructure and chemical composition of the obtained Si-SiC composite powders were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD), respectively.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of heat treatment alone or in combination with the addition of lignosulfonate (LSO3) on canola cake protein, lysine, and methionine degradation in the rumen. Cold-pressed canola cake was left untreated, heated at 90, 110, 130, or 150 °C, or processed with 5% of LSO3 (in dry matter) and then heated. Effective rumen degradability of crude protein (CP), lysine, and methionine was less for treated than untreated canola cake (P < 0.05) and decreased with increased temperature of heating, but particularly when canola cake was heated at 150 °C (quadratic, P < 0.01). In general, effective rumen degradability of CP, lysine, and methionine was less for canola cake heated at 130 °C in combination with LSO3 compared with canola cake heat treated only (quadratic × LSO3 interaction, P ≤ 0.07). Results of this study indicate that high temperature heating (130 °C or greater for 60 min) may be necessary to protect canola cake protein from degradation in the rumen, and the combination of heat treatment and LSO3 may be more effective in protecting canola cake protein, lysine, and methionine from degradation in the rumen than the use of heat treatment only.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is one of the most widely used additive manufacturing technologies. Fabricating nickel-based superalloys with SLM has garnered significant interest from the industry and the research community alike due to the excellent high temperature properties and thermal stability exhibited by the alloys. Haynes-282 alloy, a γ′-phase strengthened Ni-based superalloy, has shown good high temperature mechanical properties comparable to alloys like R-41, Waspaloy, and 263 alloy but with better fabricability. A study and comparison of the effect of different heat-treatment routes on microstructure and mechanical property evolution of Haynes-282 fabricated with SLM is lacking in the literature. Hence, in this manuscript, a thorough investigation of microstructure and mechanical properties after a three-step heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been conducted. In-situ heat-treatment experiments were conducted in a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study γ′ precipitate evolution. γ′ precipitation was found to start at 950 °C during in-situ heat-treatment. Insights from the in-situ heat-treatment were used to decide the aging heat-treatment for the alloy. The three-step heat-treatment was found to increase yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). HIP process enabled γ′ precipitation and recrystallization of grains of the as-printed samples in one single step.
