Structures And Properties

Effect of the solid-solution treatment on the casting structures and properties of the die-casting Mg alloy was explored through the way of adding mixed rare earths Y, Gd and Nd into the commercial Re-AZ91 Mg alloy . The results show that the solid-solution treatment could improve effectively the microstructures of the alloy, and Mg17Al12 phrase on the grain boundaries could transform from network struture into dotlike or granular one. At the same time, the compounds on the grain boundaries were less than those before the solid-solution treatment, the compounds were dispersed inside the grain . Both the microstructures and the mechanics properties of the alloy could be improved remarkably, and also, the tensile strength σb could reach over 280MPa, the elongation ratio δ over 9% when the temperature of the solid-solution treatment was between 270°C and 410°C. When the temperature of the solid-solution treatment exceeded 420°C, coarse Al-RE compounds would be formed inside the alloy, which could reduce the mechanics properties of AZ91 Mg Alloy.

Effect of B addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ84 Mg alloy was investigated in this study. Through calculation of phase equilibria of AZ84 Mg alloy, carried out by using FactSage® and FTLite database, solution treatment temperature was decided as temperature of 330oC, where supersaturated solid solution can be obtained. Solid solution treatment of AZ84 Mg alloy was successfully conducted at 330oC and supersaturated microstructure with all almost all phases resolved into matrix was obtained. After solution treatment, hot rolling was successfully conducted by reduction of 60%. Compression and tension tests were carried out at room temperature on the samples in as-cast, solution treated, hot-rolled and subsequently recrystallized states. After solid solution treatment, each alloy was soaked at temperatures of 180 and 200oC for time intervals from 1 min to 48 hrs and hardness of each condition was measured by micro-Vickers method. Peak aging conditions were deduced as at the temperature of 200 oC for 10 hrs for ZA84 Mg alloy. By addition of boron, aging kinetics was expedited and strength was enhanced.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

A series of Mg-6Al-2Sr-1.5Y-xNd (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2) alloy samples were prepared and their microstructures were observed and mechanical properties were measured. The existing forms of Y and Nd were studied. The effects of Y and Nd on microstructure and mechanical properties of AJ62 alloy were investigated. The results show that the main existing forms of Y and Nd in AJ62 alloy are Al2Y and Al2Nd. The combined addition of rare earth Y and Nd can refine α-Mg matrix obviously and reduce the amount of the β-Mg17Al12phases; after solid solution treatment, the tensile strength of the alloys rise first and fall later with increasing content of Nd. When the content of Nd is about 0.6%wt, the values of tensile strengthes are up to the maximum both at room temperature and at 448 K.

The effects of solid solution temperature on the structures and properties of TC16 titanium alloy bars that made solid solution treatment in 780°C, 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, respectively, the processing time for 30min, then cooled in the air were studied. The results show that during solid solution treatment under 800°C, the alloy structures are the primary ɑ phase and the metastable β phase, while solid solution temperature rise to 800°C, the alloy structures begin to appear ɑ" martensite phase. With the increase of solid solution temperature, the alloy grain grow up somewhat, material tensile strength increases gradually, yield strength firstly decreases and then increases, elongation at break firstly increases and then decreases, percentage reduction of area at break decreases gradually. Solid solution state of TC16 titanium alloy bars are not suitable for cold heading forming, strengthening the titanium alloy must be subsequent artificial aging treatment.

The microstructure evolution of the Mg-3Zn-0.5Er-0.5Al (mass fraction, %) alloy under the different condition was investigated. The results showed that as-cast Mg-3Zn-0.5Er-0.5Al alloy mainly consisted of primary large irregular Mg4Zn7 phase and needlelike (Mg, Zn, Er, Al) quaternary phase. Mg4Zn7 phase almost dissolved into the matrix after solid solution treatment at 400 oC for 10 h, while the (Mg, Zn, Er, Al) quaternary phase still existed. The solution treated alloy was extruded at 250 °C. The ultimate tensile strength of the as-extruded alloy was approximately 268 MPa and the YTS was approximately 163 MPa companying with an elongation of 28%. The tensile strength of the as-extruded alloy improved obviously, which was mainly attributed to the grain refinement.

Treatment Parameter

The aim of this study is to explore alloy 718 that treated at an optimal HIP process, and then imposed various solid-solution temperatures and aging treatment. The experimental results indicated that Laves and δ precipitations obviously appeared within the grain boundary, under HIP treatment and lower solid-solution temperatures (940°C), which would result in poor mechanical properties. However, Laves and δ phase can be completely dissolved at 1020°C 1 hour solid-solution treatment. The tensile strength was increased to 1331.5 MPa, and elongation reached up to 6.1% under a 1020°C solid-solution and aging treatment. Increasing the solid-solution temperature to 1060°C would cause parts of the NbC to dissolve, thus a large number of the thin sheet-shaped NbC would appear in the solid-solution and aging specimen. The yield stress is slight increase, but a lot of NbC precipitations will result in the decreasing tensile strength (1298.8 MPa) and elongation (5.4%). As a result, the optimal solid-solution treatment parameter of alloy 718 is 1020°C for 1-hour.

Al-Si alloys are being widely used as main engine components replacing iron in several parts in the automotive industry. Some of its mechanical properties were a reference in its alloy utilization. In this research, the heat treatment carried out on the specimen included solid solution treatment and the artificial aging process for aluminium alloys. Test pieces were heated on the furnace with a solid solution treatment process at 540 ° C with holding time around 5 hours and quenched at 60 °C with water quenchant, followed by 3 different aging treatment which included single-stage aging, artificial aging with pre-aged, and double stage aging. Tests carried out by hardness test, tensile strength test, impact test, metallographic and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) observations. The results of this research showed the differences in phase constituent and morphology microconstituents due to variations of aging. The difference of each treatment could be seen in the morphology of the precipitate that is dispersed, rounded and needle-like shaped, this phase can influence the mechanical properties of Al-Si-Cu alloys. The results of mechanical testing show the highest hardness was obtained by double stage aging treatment 161.27 HRB. The highest tensile strength occurs in specimens with a single-stage aging treatment of 202.56 MPa. The highest impact resistance occurred in samples with the pre-aging treatment of 18.6 J.

A study was made of the effects of solid solution treatment on the properties of hot rolled Fe-Mn-Al steel and on the microstructure transformation. In the steel, the austenite matrix and ferrite duplex phases were confirmed by micrographs and X-ray diffraction. It was indicated that the hot rolled Fe-Mn-Al steel (6.55g/cm3 in density) is with mechanical properties of tensile strength 1315.6MPa, elongation 14.60%. The tensile strength decreases with increasing temperature. The tensile test displays an outstanding combination of high strength and ductility at room temperature due to continuous strain hardening behavior. The product of tensile strength and ductility can reach 46.5GPa·%. Solution treatment contributes to the dissolution of precipitate, austenite grain growth and banded ferrite crushing.

Combined with microstructure characterization and properties tests, the effects of Zn contents on the mechanical properties, corrosion behaviors, and microstructural evolution of extruded Al–Li–Cu–Mg–Ag alloys were investigated. The results show that the increase in Zn contents can accelerate hardening kinetics and improve the hardness of peak-aged alloys. The Zn-added alloys present non-recrystallization characteristics combined with partially small recrystallized grains along the grain boundaries, while the T1 phase with finer dimension and higher number density could explain the constantly increasing tensile strength. In addition, increasing Zn contents led to a lower corrosion current density and a shallower maximum intergranular corrosion depth, thus improving the corrosion resistance of the alloys. Zn addition, distributed in the central layer of T1 phases, not only facilitates the precipitation of more T1 phases but also reduces the corrosion potential difference between the T1 phase and the matrix. Therefore, adding 0.57 wt.% Zn to the alloy has an excellent combination of tensile strength and corrosion resistance. The properties induced by Zn under the T8 temper (solid solution treatment + water quenching + 5% pre-strain+ isothermal aging), however, are not as apparent as the T6 temper (solid solution treatment + water quenching + isothermal aging).
