This study aimed to characterize the effects of incomplete solution treatment time on the tensile behavior of 2195 Al-Li alloy. Two sets of plates of 2195 Al-Li alloy received solution heat treatment. One set received the prescribed treatment, held in the furnace for 30 minutes after the material had reached 507°C. The other set was in the furnace for only 30 minutes and did not reach 507°C until after about 15 to 20 minutes. Both set of plates were water quenched. Samples from the plates were then stretched 2.5-3% or 6%, rolled 6%, and rolled 24%, at 0°, 45°, and 90° relative to the rolling direction of the as-received material. The samples were aged at 143°C for 36 hours and air-cooled. Tensile specimens were milled out at 0°, 45°, and 90° relative to the original rolling direction. Tensile testing was performed on all samples. The incomplete heat treatment (incomplete solution treatment) resulted in a significant reduction in strength. This was probably due to the formation of fewer T1 precipitates after aging, thereby reducing the amount which could nucleate during cold work. The fully heat treated samples had higher percent yield strength, ultimate strength, and elongation.

This research focused on the effect of solution heat treated microstructures on anodic oxide formations of casting 7075 Al alloy. The casting specimens were solution heat treated at 450°C for various holding. The results showed that the quality of anodic oxide film on the specimen with 4h solution heat treatment time was higher than that of at other conditions. Because its microstructures obtained the lowest amounts of secondary phase particles leading to improve the quality of oxide film and also reduce defects in oxide film. On the other hand, coarse black particles of Mg2Si formed increasingly in microstructures of specimens after solution treatment at prolong holding time of 8h and 16h resulted in discontinues oxide films forming on them.

A study was carried out to determine the role of additives such as Mg and Cu on the microstructural characteristics of grain refined, Sr-modified eutectic A413.1 alloy (Al-11.7% Si) during solution heat treatment. For comparison purposes, some of the alloys were also studied in the non-modified condition. The alloys were cast in a steel permanent mold preheated at 425 °C that provided a microstructure with an average dendrite arm spacing (DAS) of ~ 22 µm. Castings were solution heat treated at 500 ± 2 °C for time up 24 h, followed by quenching in warm water (at 60 °C). Microstructural analysis of the as-cast and heat-treated castings was carried out using optical microscopy in conjunction with image analysis. Phase identifications were done using the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) technique. In the as-cast condition, the addition of 0.42 wt% Mg to the unmodified alloy produced relatively large Si particles compared to the base A413.1 alloy. The Si particle size remained more or less the same with increase in solution treatment time and Mg level. Both Mg2Si and Al2Cu phases were observed to dissolve almost completely after 8 h solution time, while the Al5Cu2Mg8Si6 phase was found to persist even after 24 h.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Thermo-mechanical Treatment (TMT) on aging and hardness of Al-Mg-Si (6082) alloys. The effect of cold work after solution treatment, aging time and temperature on the microstructure and hardness were studied. Hardness measurements were carried out on specimens prepared from 6082 alloys in the as solution treated specimens and heat-treated conditions, using different cold work percentage before aging treatment. Aging treatments were carried out for the as solution treated specimens (after quenching in water) as well as for the as cold worked specimens (after solution treatment and quenching in water). The specimens were aged at different conditions; Natural aging was carried out at room temperature for different periods of time. Artificial aging was performed at 100 °C, 150 °C, and 200 °C for various times. It is noticed that cold work, following solution treatment, accelerates the precipitation rate leading to a rise in strength.A statistical design of experiments (DOE) approach using fractional factorial design was applied to determine the influence of controlling variables of cold work and heat treatment parameters and any interactions between them on the hardness of 6082 alloys. A mathematical model is developed to relate the alloy hardness with the different metallurgical parameters i.e. Cold work prior solution heat treatment (CWBSHT), Cold work after solution heat treatment (CWASHT), Pre-aging Temperature (PA T0C), Pre-aging time (PA t h), Aging temperature (AT0C), Aging time (At h), Cold work after aging treatment (CWAAT), Annealing temperature (An.T0C) and Annealing time (An.t min) to acquire an understanding of the effects of these variables and their interactions on the hardness of Al-Mg-Si 6082 alloys.

The sensitization and passivation characteristics of AL-6XN heat-treated for up to 24 h at 800 °C were evaluated through double loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (2 M H2SO4 + 0.01 M KSCN +2 M NaCl solution) and cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (3.5% NaCl solution) test methods. Furthermore, the dependence between the characteristic values (Epit, Erep, and degree of sensitization) was discussed. The σ phase was precipitated at the intergranular and intragranular in AL-6XN at 800 °C. When the heat treatment time exceeded 1 hour, AL-6XN occurred rapid sensitization due to the precipitation of σ phase. In a 3.5% NaCl solution, the passivation characteristics of AL-6XN with sensitivity were very poor and depended much on the degree of sensitization.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the corrosion behaviour of heat-treated and cryorolled Al 5052 alloys in different Cl− ion concentrations. Design/methodology/approach NaCl solutions with concentrations of 0, 0.5, 3.5 and 5.5 per cent were selected. Samples were subjected to pre-heat treatment (annealing at 300 °C and solution treatment at 540 °C) and cryorolling up to 30 per cent reduction before undergoing corrosion tests. The corrosion behaviour of the samples was then investigated by potentiodynamic polarization. The microstructure of the corroded samples was evaluated under an optical microscope, and the percentages of pits on their surfaces were calculated. Findings The cryorolled samples had a lower corrosion rate than the samples that were not cryorolled. The cryorolled sample that underwent solution treatment showed the highest corrosion resistance among all the samples tested. Practical implications The commercial impact of the study is the possibility of using the cryorolled Al alloy in various ion chloride environment. Originality/value The obtained results help in understanding the corrosion behaviour of cryorolled samples under different heat treatment conditions.

This work investigates the effect of rejuvenation heat treatment, with double-step solution treatment at the temperature from 1150 °C to 1200 °C, on the recovered microstructure of IN-738 cast superalloy. The superalloy has been long-term exposed as a turbine blade in a gas turbine prior to this study. After double solution treatment and aging at 845 °C for 12 h and 24 h, the recovered microstructures were examined by using a scanning electron microscope. Coarse γ΄ particles, that have presented in damaged microstructures, could not be observed in the samples after the rejuvenation heat treatment. In addition, the image analysis illustrates that the reprecipitated γ΄ particles in the samples with double-step solution treatments increase significantly in sizes during aging than that in the samples with the single-step solution treatment. Furthermore, the measurement of the samples hardness presents that the as-receive sample hardness is improved after rejuvenation heat treatment studied in this work.

In the present work, we have used unconventional short-term secondary recrystallization heat treatment employing extraordinary high heating rate to develop coarse-grained microstructure with enhanced intensity of rotating cube texture {100}<011> in semi-finish vacuum degassed non-oriented electrical steels. The soft magnetic properties were improved through the increase of grains size with favourable cube crystallographic orientation. The appropriate final textural state of the treated experimental steels was achieved by strain-induced grain boundary migration mechanism, activated by gradient of accumulated stored deformation energy between neighbouring grains after the application of soft cold work, combined with steep temperature gradient during subsequent heat treatment under dynamic heating conditions. The materials in our experimentally prepared material states were mounted on the stator and rotor segments of electrical motors and examined for their efficiency in real operational conditions. Moreover, conventionally long-term heat treated materials, prepared in industrial conditions, were also tested for reference. The results show that the electrical motor containing the segments treated by our innovative approach, exhibits more than 1.2% higher efficiency, compared to the motor containing conventionally heat treated materials. The obtained efficiency enhancement can be directly related to the improved microstructural and textural characteristics of our unconventionally heat treated materials, specifically the homogenous coarse grained microstructure and the high intensity of cube and Goss crystallographic texture.

The thermodynamic stability ’- Co3(Al,W) phase (L12) in the Co-Al-W ternary system at 900 °C was investigated through microstructure and EPMA analysis on a heat-treated bulk alloy. To promote microstructural evolution, the bulk alloy was cold rolled before heat treatment. By heating at 900 °C, the ’ phase was formed discontinuously in contact with the -Co (A1) phase. With increasing heat treatment time, however, the fraction of ’ phase decreased while that of , CoAl (B2) and Co3W (D019) phases increased. These results are consistent with our previous work with a diffusion-couple method, indicating that the ’ phase is metastable, and the three phases of, CoAl and Co3W are thermodynamically stable at 900 °C.

Crystalline Growth

The effect of heat treatment on the reactivity and crystallinity of char prepared from the vitrinite of two coals (YX, JJ) was investigated by using XRD and TGA in this paper. The results from TGA show that the reactivity of the chars from YXV and JJV decreases with the increase of heat treatment temperature. The reactivity of YXV char decreases quickly and significantly as heat treatment time increases. However, after heat treatment time of 60 min, it decreases slowly. The effect of heat treatment time on the reactivity of JJV char is small. The results from XRD show that the crystallinity of coal-char is determined by the intensity of heat treatment. When heat treatment time is more than 60 minutes, the turbostratic crystallite of YXV char prepared under 900°C changes remarkably and becomes more orderly. The aromatic layer stacking heights (Lc) of YXV Char when heat treated above 900°C increased with the increase of heat treatment time. The effect of heat treat time on Lc of JJV char is small, but under heat treatment temperature of 1200°C, the crystalline of JJV char grows distinctly. There is a good parallel relationship between the crystalline growth and deactivation of the chars. It can be concluded that the growth of the crystalline is the main reason for the deactivation of coal-char.
