The copper specimen was fabricated through liquid die forging under optimum technical parameter, and the die forging copper was annealed under different conditions. The effect of annealing treatment on the microstructure, strength, hardness and electric conductivity of die forging copper was investigated. The results show that the microstructure of die forging copper was changed into equiaxed grain when the treating temperature was less than 250 °C and treating time was less than 2.0 h. The restoration and recrystallization happened during treatment and the obtained crystal grain size became smaller. The strength of die forging copper decreased after annealing treatment owing to the decreasing of dislocation density and concentration of supersaturated vacancy. The hardness of die forging copper also dropped to some extent. The electric conductivity of die forging copper was increased by 5.2% after annealing treatment because the concentration of supersaturated vacancy and dislocation density was decreased obviously.

The heat treatment process of a kind of hypereutectic aluminum silicon alloy which is suitable for semi-solid forming and the change of microstructure and performance during the process of heat treatment had been studied in this paper. In order to guide the heat treatment process, the phase diagram of the alloy had been calculated by the software of Thermo-Calc, and the theoretical solid and liquid line had been gotten. Twelve kinds of heat treatment process had been selected in this study. Finally the best process which the solution temperature is 495°C for 2h and aging temperature is 160°C for 8h had been gotten.

Multi-filamentary Nb3Sn strand for ITER has been successfully fabricated by a conventional internal-tin (IT) route at Western Superconducting Technologies, Co. Ltd. All the performances of the IT Nb3Sn strand is able tomeet the ITER specifications. In 2010, one hundred kilograms of IT Nb3Sn strand has been cabled, jacketed and integrated into conductor sample titled with TFCN2 by ASIPP in China and tested in CRPP, Switzerland. After 1200 cycles warm-up and cooling down, Tcs of the TFCN2 Sultan sample at 10.78 T, 4.5 K are 6.35 K for the left leg and 6.37 K for the right leg, respectively, which is larger than the ITER lower limit of 5.7 K. This is the first successful Sultan sample made of Chinese Nb3Sn strand. In 2011, the influence of applied axial strain on critical current (Ic) was investigated using TFCN2 strand in the University of Twente, the Netherland. The irreversible degradation of Ic starts around +0.23% tensile intrinsic strain. The heat treatment influence of the duration at 650 °C on microstructure and performance was also studied. It was found that the fraction of un-reacted Nb after heat treatment is dependent on the position in the cross section. The hysteresis loss increases much faster than Ic when the duration at 650 °C increased.

Cu nanofoams are promising materials for a variety of applications, including anodes in high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The high specific surface area of these materials supports a high capacity and porous structure that helps accommodate volume expansion which occurs as batteries are charged. One of the most efficient methods to produce Cu nanofoams is the dealloying of Cu alloy precursors. This process often yields nanofoams that have low strength, thus requiring additional heat treatment to improve the mechanical properties of Cu foams. This paper provides the effects of heat treatment on the microstructures, mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance of Cu nanofoams. Annealing was conducted under both inert and oxidizing atmospheres. These studies ultimately reveal the underlying mechanisms of ligament coarsening during heat treatment.

In this study, Strontium (Sr) was added as modifier during the casting of Al-11.6Si-0.5Mg alloy, and the effect of T6 heat treatment on microstructure and performance of alloy was also investigated. The results showed that the 0.3% Al-8%Sr master alloy can refine effectively the α-Al dendrite and eutectic structure; the best economic process of T6 heat treatment is solution at 535°C for 6 hrs., and water cooling at 50~60°C,aging at 160°C for 6 hrs , then air cooling. After Sr modification and T6 heat treatment, the mechanical properties of alloy are improved remarkably, i.e., the tensile strength increased to 348MPa from 183MPa before modification and the elongation raises from 3.0% to 6.5%. So this alloy is applied to the strain clamp products in electric power fitting industry.

Ultrafine crystallization of industrial pure titanium allowed for higher tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability and is therefore widely used in medical instrumentation, aerospace, and passenger vehicle manufacturing. However, the ultrafine crystallizing batch preparation of tubular industrial pure titanium is limited by the development of the spinning process and has remained at the theoretical research stage. In this article, the tubular TA2 industrial pure titanium was taken as the research object, and the ultrafine crystal forming process based on “5-pass strong spin-heat treatment-3 pass-spreading-heat treatment” was proposed. Based on the spinning process test, the ultimate thinning rate of the method is explored and the evolution of the surface microstructure was analyzed by metallographic microscope. The research suggests that the multi-pass, medium–small, and thinning amount of spinning causes the grain structure to be elongated in the axial and tangential directions, and then refined, and the axial fiber uniformity is improved. The research results have certain scientific significance for reducing the consumption of high-performance metals improving material utilization and performance, which also promote the development of ultrafine-grain metals’ preparation technology.
