The influence of Mo addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the TiC-Fe cermets has been studied. The specimens with different contents of Mo (4-8 wt.%) added into the TiC-Fe cermets were fabricated by conventional powder metallurgy and vacuum sintered at temperatures of 1440 °C. The microstructure and mechanical properties such as bending strength, impact toughness, hardness, wear resistance were investigated. The micrographs with different Mo content show that the final grain size of carbide phase became smaller and the specimens became more homogeneous and compact with increasing Mo content from 4 wt.% to 8 wt.% in raw powders. The mechanical properties measured show that the bending strength, impact toughness and wear resistance are the best when the Mo content is 6 wt.%.

In this work, ultrahigh carbon steels (UHCS) obtained by powder metallurgy with CIP and argon sintered at 1150°C. Then, they were rolled at 850 °C with a reduction of 40 %. Finally, steels were quenched at 850 and 1000 °C in oil. In each step, hardness, bending strength and wear performance were evaluated. Obtained results are justified with a metallographic study by SEM. Both mechanical properties and wear resistance are highly favoured with the thermomechanical treatment that removes the porosity of the material. Moreover, final quenching highly hardens the material. The obtained material could be used as matrix for tool steels.

The modifiers of nano-SiC and nano-TiN were added into the melt of ZGMn13Cr2 alloy, respectively. The effect of the additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Results show that the two kinds of nano modifiers both have refining effect and make the improvement of impact toughness and wear resistance.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel fabricated by spray deposition have been studied. Spray deposited W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel has a typical equiaxed structure which is finer and more homogeneous with a grain size of 20-30 micrometer compared with conventional casted counterparts. There are pores in the matrix of the deposited steel, which involve gas porosity, filling porosity and solidification shrinkage. As-deposited high speed steel is mainly composed of martensite, austenite and carbides which comprise MC carbide and M6C carbide. Mechanical properties show that the hardness and bending strength of the as-deposited steel are higher than that of the conventionally casted ones. However, impact toughness of the high speed steel is lower than that of the conventionally casted steel, which can be attributed to the existence of porosities and M6C carbides which reduce the impact toughness of high speed steels.

Copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite, Cf-TiB2-Cu-graphite composite and Cf-copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite with the same TiB2 content were prepared by the powder metallurgy method. Physical and mechanical properties of these composites were tested. The dry friction tests of the composites under sliding velocity of 10m/s and load of 4.9N were conducted for 36h. The results show that the properties of the Cf-copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composite such as electric conductivity, hardness, bending strength and wear resistance are increased remarkably than those of either Cf-TiB2-Cu-graphite or copper-plated TiB2-Cu-graphite composites.

15 wt% Cr sintered High Chromium Cast Iron (HCCI) with full density was successfully prepared by Super-solidus Liquid Phase Sintering (SPLS) technique, with water atomized 15 wt% Cr high chromium cast iron powder as initial materials. Its densification behavior and microstructure evolution in SPLS process and mechanical properties were investigated systematically. Additionally, the impact abrasive wear resistance under different impact energies were also analyzed and compared with another sintered HCCI with 20 wt% Cr. The results indicated that sintering temperature has a strong influence on the sintered alloy’s density, hardness, impact toughness and bending strength. The M7C3 type (M is Cr and Fe) carbides were obviously coarsened as temperature increased and their rod-shaped branches were fully developed at the same time, thereby resulting in carbide network formation in the matrix. The reasonable sintering temperature range was 1195–1205 °C, and the optimum mechanical properties had the hardness of 63.9 HRC, bending strength of 2112.65 MPa and impact toughness of 7.92 J/cm2. What is more important impact abrasive wear test results indicated 15 wt% Cr sintered HCCI’s wear resistance could be comparable to 20 wt% Cr sintered HCCI under impact energy 1~3 J/cm2, and it is more cost effective.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 ceramics were investigated using ultrafine CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 powder as the starting material. The structures of CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 containing 8~12mol% CeO2 were composed of tetragonal phases. They exhibited an extremely high bending strength (950 MPa) and fracture toughness (12MPa·m1/2). The structural details of CeO2/Y2O3/ ZrO2 were studied by TEM, SEM and XRD. The effects of the structure on mechanical properties were discussed. Plungers and ball valves by the CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 ceramics have higher wear resistance and corrosion resistance than metal. Their service life is about 6 ~ 10 fold more than that of metal.

Fully densitified 3Y-TZP (>98% of theoretical density) ceramic tools have been prepared by gelcasting and sintered with conventional pressureless at 1500 ~ 1600°C. The microstructure and mechanical properties as a function of sintering temperature were investigated. The experiment results indicate that the samples with a range of grain size from 300nm to700nm have high mechanical properties. With the sintering temperature rising, the hardness show no obvious change, the average value is 13.2GPa; while the bending strength have a trend of first increasing then decreasing. The optimal sintering temperature is 1550°C, the bending strength and the fracture toughness all reach the maximum, which is 947 MPa and 8.9MPa.M1/2.

Based on the multi-pass welding characteristics of X80 pipeline steel, the influence of twice thermal cycle on the microstructure and mechanical properties of coarse grain region in X80 pipeline steel was investigated. The thermal cycles of weld coarse grain region with different peak temperature for the second thermal cycle were simulated with the Gleeble-3500 thermal/mechanical simulator. The Charpy impact absorbed energy for toughness was measured, and the corresponding optical micrographs and electron micrographs were systematically investigated to study the effect of the peak temperature on microstructure and impact toughness in the coarse grain region. The results of simulated experiment showed that the microstructure in heat affected zone of coarse grain region is granular bainitic and bainitic ferrite. When the peak temperature of the second thermal cycle is 800°C, the types of microstructure and the grain size of original austenite have no change. However, it forms network microstructure with chain structure in grain boundary and the reduction of toughness may be affected by the M–A constituents. With the peak temperature of 1000°C, the micro structure is composed of granular bainitic and a little bainitic ferrite. In this case, the grain size of austenite can be significantly fined, being helpful to increase the impact toughness.
