New Type

Ti alloys are widely utilized for industrial applications due to their excellent mechanical properties combined with low density. In general, Ti alloys are classified as , + and  alloys, with further subdivision into near  and metastable  alloys. Quite recently, we have presented new type structural ’ martensite (H.C.P.) Ti alloys with low Young’s modulus, high strength and excellent ductility at room temperature. In this work, we examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of ’ martensite type Ti-V-Al alloy after cold- or hot working process. Then, we found that deformation behavior of ’ initial microstructure as compared with (+) initial microstructure was different based on the results of stress-strain curves and Processing Maps under the hot working process. Further, cold rolled ’ martensite microstructure exhibited the refined equiaxed dislocation cell structure, thereby resulting in high strength. This result suggests the new type deformation processing (for both cold- and hot work processing) utilizing ’ martensite in industrial Ti alloys.

PurposeTitanium (Ti) alloys are in high demand in manufacturing industries all over the world. The property like high strength to weight ratio makes Ti alloys highly recommended for aerospace industries. Ti alloys possess good weldability, and therefore, they were extensively investigated with regard to strength and metallurgical properties of welded joint. This study aims to deal with the analysis of strength and microstructural changes in Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) alloy after tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.Design/methodology/approachTwo pair of Ti alloy plates were welded in two different voltages, i.e. 24 and 28 V, with keeping the current constant, i.e. 80 A It was a random selection of current and voltage values to check the performance of welded material. Both the welded plates were undergone through some mechanical property analysis like impact test, tensile test and hardness test. In addition, the microstructure of the welded joints was also analyzed.FindingsIt was found that hardness and tensile properties gets improved with an increment in voltage, but this effect was reverse for impact toughness. A good corroboration between microstructure and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness and toughness, was reported in this work. Heat distribution in both the welded plates was simulated through ANSYS software to check the temperature contour in the plates.Originality/valueA good corroboration between microstructure and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness and toughness, was reported in this study.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Nanocrystalline (NC) Al alloy powder was fabricated by milling 2024 Al alloy powder and Fe-based metallic glass (FMG) particles. The NC Al alloy powder was consolidated into bulk sample by adding a part of atomized coarse-grained (CG) 2024 alloy powder. The microstructure and mechanical properties of powder and consolidated bulk materials were examined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and mechanical test. It revealed that the FMG particles were uniformly distributed in the NC aluminum alloy powder. In the consolidation process, the grain size increased, and Al2CuMg phase precipitated. The multi-modal Al alloy by consolidation of FMG particles, NC and CG powder, exhibited higher yield strength up to 517 MPa and better plasticity in comparison to the samples without CG powder.

Additive manufacturing (AM) provides customization of the microstructure and mechanical properties of components. Selective laser melting (SLM) is the commonly used technique for processing high strength Aluminum alloys. Selection of SLM process parameters could control the microstructure of fabricated parts and their mechanical properties. However, process parameter limits and defects inside the as-built parts present obstacles to customized part production. This study is the second part of a comprehensive work that investigates the influence of SLM process parameters on the quality of as-built Al6061 and AlSi10Mg parts. The microstructure of both materials was characterized for different parts processed over a wide range of SLM process parameters. The optimized SLM parameters were investigated to eliminate the internal microstructure defects. Mechanical properties of the parts were illustrated by regression models generated with design of experiment (DOE) analysis. The results reported in this study were compared to previous studies, illustrating how the process parameters and powder characteristics could affect the quality of produced parts.
