The DZ417G alloy with different proportion of recycling material was fabricated by directional solidification, and its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the directionally solidified alloy changes little, which indicates the recycling material has little effect of on the alloy. However, the ductility of the directional solidified alloy with different proportion of recycling material changes greatly. With the increase of the recycling materials, the mechanical properties of the alloy decrease firstly and then increase a little and decrease at last. But the strength of the alloy almost has no change. The alloy with 70%recycle material has the relative better mechanical properties.

The microstructure and mechanical properties including room temperature fracture toughness Kq, tensile strengthσb and elongationδ at 1250°C of the Nb based alloy directionally solidified in an electron beam floating zone melting (EBFZM) furnace have been evaluated. The microstructure is primarily composed of Nb solid solution (Nbss), α-(Nb)5Si3 and (Nb)3Si phases. After directional solidification with the moving rate of electron beam gun R being respectively 2.4, 4.8 and 7.2 mm/min, the primary Nbss dendrites, Nbss + (Nb)5Si3/(Nb)3Si eutectic colonies (lamellar or rod-like) and divorced Nb silicide plates align along the longitudinal axes of the specimens. When R = 2.4 mm/min, the best directional microstructure is obtained. Directional solidification has significantly improved theσb at 1250°C and Kq. The maximumσb occurs for the specimens with R = 2.4 mm/min and is about 85.0 MPa, meanwhile, the Kq is about 19.4 MPam1/2.

The effect of Ca on the microstructure and mechanical properties of directionally solidified (DSed) Mg-3Zn-xCa alloys (x=0.2,0.5,0.8wt.%) was investigated in the present work. The results showed that the DSed samples with the growth rate of 120 μm/s had columnar dendritic structures and the primary dendritic arm spacing (PDAS) decreased with the content of Ca increase. The TEM result indicated that the growth orientation of the DSed Mg-Zn-xCa alloys was , which was independent of the content of Ca. The tensile tests at room temperature showed that the mechanical properties of the DSed Mg-Zn-xCa alloys were strongly affected by the content of Ca. The addition of Ca remarkably improved the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the yield strength (YS), while dramatically reduced the elongation (El). Prismatic slip and twinning were the main deformation mechanisms in tensile tests.
