Ultrafine-grained treatment (multiple forging and heat treatment) were carried out on FGH4096 alloy to get ultrafine grain with grain being of 1-5μm. OM, SEM, TEM and tensile test were used to study the action of ultrafine-grained treatment on improving structure and properties. The tensile properties of the alloy processed under ultrafine-grained treated have shown quite satisfactory levels, which ultimate strength (UTS) reach 1730Mpa and yield strength (YS) values reach 1470Mpa at room temperature. The apperance of advanced strength has originated chiefly form not only the persence of fine grains, but also structure of grain boundaries and diaperce pricipitations of secondary phase. A better combination of mechanical properties achieved by use of ultrafine-grained treatment makes it possible to explore the dual property turbine disc to its maximum potential for FGH 4096 alloy.

Hardening Mechanisms

The effect of high pressure torsion (HPT) at elevated temperatures of 230 and 280°C on the microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al-0.4Zr alloy was studied. The initial UFG structure in the material of the study was preliminarily formed by HPT-processing at room temperature. It was shown that the additional deformation of the UFG Al-0.4Zr alloy at elevated temperatures leads to a simultaneous significant increase in strength from 140 to 230-280 MPa and electrical conductivity from ~ 47.5% to 52-54% IACS. The obtained results are compared with the effect of annealing at the same temperatures on the microstructure and properties of the UFG Al-0.4Zr alloy. It was found that, compared with annealing, severe plastic deformation at the same temperature leads to more efficient formation of nanoscale precipitates of the Al3Zr secondary phase and, consequently, to a larger decrease in the Zr concentration in the solid solution, which provides a significant increase in electrical conductivity. Based on the obtained microstructural parameters, the contributions of various hardening mechanisms to the total hardening and electron scattering mechanisms to electrical resistivity are estimated. Comparison of the theoretical estimates with the experimental results indicates that the hardening in the UFG structure of the Al-0.4Zr alloy caused by additional SPD at elevated temperatures cannot be described only by the action of hardening mechanisms traditional for UFG materials. Possible reasons for the colossal hardening obtained are discussed.

The work addresses the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the ultrafine-grained (UFG) VT8M-1 subjected to isothermal die forging (IDF) and subsequent thermal treatment. An UFG microstructure with a mean size of secondary grains of about 0.3 μm was processed by a rotary swaging (RS) at Т=780°С. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloy increased by 23% as compared to an initial state due to the formation of an UFG microstructure. It has been shown that isothermal die forging of the UFG alloy at Т=780°С leads to the growth of secondary phase grains by 0.7 μm. Subsequent heat treatment of the forged billets leads to hardening of 11%, which can be attributed both to the formation of additional interphase α/β boundaries at the precipitation of a tertiary α-phase and silicide dispersion.

The liquid forging process has the flexibilities of casting in forming intricate profiles and features while imparting the liquid forged components with superior mechanical strength compared to similar components obtained via casting. Additionally, liquid forging requires significantly lower machine loads compared to solid forming processes. Currently, components that are formed by liquid forging are usually casting alloys of aluminum. This paper investigates the suitability of liquid forging a wrought aluminum alloy Al-6061 and the mechanical properties after forming. The proper handling of the Al-6061 alloy in its molten state is important in minimizing oxidation of its alloying elements. By maintaining the correct alloying composition of Al-6061 after liquid forging, these Al-6061 samples can subsequently undergo a suitable heat treatment process to significantly improve their yield strengths. Results show that the yield strengths of these liquid forged Al-6061 samples can be increased from about 90MPa, when they are in the as-liquid forged state, to about 275MPa after heat treatment. This improved yield strength is comparable to that of Al-6061 samples obtained by solid forming processes. As such, the liquid forging process here has been shown to be capable of forming wrought aluminum alloy components that has the potential for structural applications.

Ultrafine Grain Structure

Investigations of mechanical properties of nanocrystalline (nc) materials are still in interest of materials science, because they offer wide application as structural materials thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties. NC materials demonstrate superior hardness and strength as compared with their coarse grained counterparts, but very often they possess a limited ductility or show low uniform elongation due to poor strain hardening ability. Here, we present the results of investigation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of nc Pd and Pd-x%Ag (x=20, 60) alloys. The initially coarse grained Pd-x% Ag samples were processed by high pressure torsion, which resulted in formation of homogenous ultrafine grain structure. The increase of Ag contents led to the decrease of the resulted grain size and change in deformation behavior, because of decreasing of stacking fault energy (SFE). The samples with larger Ag contents demonstrated the higher values of hardness, yield stress and ultimate stress. Remarkably the uniform elongation had also increased with increase of strength.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.

Angular Pressing

The effects of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), further heat treatment and rolling on the structure and room temperature mechanical properties of the commercial aluminum alloys 6061 (Al-0.9Mg-0.7Si) and 1560 (Al-6.5Mg-0.6Mn) were investigated. It has been shown that the strength of the alloys after ECAP is higher than that achieved after conventional processing. Prior ECAP solution treatment and post-ECAP ageing can additionally increase the strength of the 6061 alloy. Under optimal ageing conditions a yield strength (YS) of 434 MPa and am ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 470 MPa were obtained for the alloy. Additional cold rolling leads to a YS and UTS of 475 and 500 MPa with 8% elongation. It was found that the post-ECAP isothermal rolling of the 1560 alloy resulted in the formation of a nano-fibred structure and a tensile strength (YS = 540 MPa and UTS = 635 MPa) that has never previously been observed in commercial non-heat treatable alloys.

ABSTRACTThe ultrafine grain sizes and high diffusivities in nanophase materials assembled from atomic clusters suggest that these materials may have a strong tendency toward superplastic mechanical behavior. Both small grain size and enhanced diffusivity can be expected to lead to increased diffusional creep rates as well as to a significantly greater propensity for grain boundary sliding. Recent mechanical properties measurements at room temperature on nanophase Cu, Pd, and TiO2, however, give no indications of superplasticity. Nonetheless, significant ductility has been clearly demonstrated in these studies of both nanophase ceramics and metals. The synthesis of cluster-assembled nanophase materials is described and the salient features of what is known of their structure and mechanical properties is reviewed. Finally, the answer to the question posed in the title is addressed.

The precipitation behaviors and microstructures of nano-precipitates in AA6082 Al-Mg-Si alloy with and without Cu additions during heat treatment process were studied using hardness measurements, TEM, mechanical tests and 3DAP. Meanwhile, the softening process of 6082 alloys with Cu and without Cu, isothermally conditioned at 250°C, has also been investigated. It was found that the rate of age hardening, mechanical properties and thermal stability are higher for the Cu-containing alloy. The TEM and 3DAP observations showed that Q’ precipitates were existed after aged at 170°C for 8h in the alloy with Cu addition. Comparing the hardness, mechanical properties and thermal stability curves, it was concluded that the Q’ precipitates play a major role in improving the age hardening kinetics and properties of 6082 alloy with Cu addition.
