The work analyzes application perspectives of Ti-based alloy VT6 (Ti-6Al-4V) with an ultrafine-grained structure with different grain sizes as structural material to produce high-load machine parts. The paper considers technological factors for ensuring quality of parts with account of assumed conditions of their exploitation, differently directed change of mechanical properties with reduction of an average grain size and choice of surface hardening technique.

In this paper, comparison studies of the hydrogen effect on the structural and phase state, deformation behavior, and mechanical properties of the fine- (average grain size 4 µm) and ultrafine-grained (average element size 0.3 and 0.4 µm) Zr–1wt.%Nb (hereinafter Zr–1Nb) alloy under tension at temperatures in the range of 293–873 K were conducted. The formation of an ultrafine-grained structure is established to increase the strength characteristics of the Zr–1Nb alloy by a factor of 1.5–2 with a simultaneous reduction of its resistance to the localization of plastic deformation at the macro level and the value of deformation to failure. The presence of hydrogen in the Zr–1Nb alloy in the form of a solid solution and hydride precipitates increases its resistance to the localization of plastic deformation at the macro level if the alloy has an ultrafine-grained structure and decreases if the structure of the alloy is fine-grained. In the studied temperature range, the Zr–1Nb alloy in the ultrafine-grained state has a higher resistance to hydrogen embrittlement than the alloy in the fine-grained state.

AbstractThe article focuses on the Direct Drive Rotary Friction Welding of ultrafine-grained copper rods, which feature increased mechanical properties and good electrical properties, yet are limited in size. The use of UFG metals is often limited by the too small dimensions of semi-finished elements produced by SPD methods. Therefore, the production of finished machine parts from UFG metals is currently economically unjustified. Dismissal of dimensional limitations can be done by introducing joining to technological processes. The proposed joining method does not lead to a melting of the material in the joining zone or excessive degradation of the UFG microstructure. To obtain the best results, the research used the method of low-energy welding of two kinds of specimens: with a flat or a conical contact surface. In the article, the authors present, by means of metallographic microsections and microhardness measurements, the influence of rotational speed, welding pressure and conical shape contact surface on the quality of the obtained joints. The conducted research made it possible to obtain good quality joints whose microhardness is reduced only by about 10% in comparison with the base material and the tensile strength dropped from only 397–358 MPa.

Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) is a Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) process invented in order to fabricate ultrafine grained materials. Aluminum Alloy series 7075 (AA7075) is a metal as a matrix reinforced by Alumina Nanofiber (ANF). In the development of advanced materials, AA7075/ANF composite metal is very suitable if it is processed by ARB, due to the combination of high style roll that is capable of producing material properties better. Hardness of AA77075 without reinforcement reached 128.3 Hv10. The additions of ANF on AA7075 reduce the hardness of 103.2 Hv10. This is due to large deformation of high load on the ARB which results in decrease levels of precipitates as well as lower density and reduction in the average grain size.

Deoxidized High Phosphorus (DHP) Copper tubes are frequently used in numerous industrial and household applications. To ensure the acceptability of DHP copper tubes prepared by various industrial processes, the quality of the DHP copper tubes must be evaluated and one of the best ways to do so is to examine the microstructure and metallography and quantify grain size. In this paper the authors considered the average grain size of copper tube samples made traditionally as well as by the planetary rolling and CastTube process. Because of the small thickness of the CastTube samples, in certain circumstances traditional methods of grain counting were not plausible and a new procedure for grain counting needed developed. This paper is about the development and evaluation of grain sizes in continuously cast tube samples using both the planimetric procedure (ASTM E112) and a new method, which will be herby, referred to as the total grain counting method. This paper also concludes that there is a large difference in the grain size of tubes with different manufacturing methods.

Based on the backscattered electron (BSE) images and IMAGEJ image analysis software, the average grain size of WC in ultrafine grained WC-Co cemented carbides was measured. The result shows that BSE images of the polished surface not be etched are suitable for quantitative evaluating the grain size of WC in the ultrafine grained hardmetals. Both linear intercept method and equivalent circle diameter method can be used to accurately measure the grain sizes of WC in ultrafine grained hadmetals by using IMAGEJ software. Measurement results of WC grain sizes coincide with the conclusion of X-ray diffraction method

The article presents the results of the analysis of the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium nickelide formed during pressing in an equal-channel angular matrix with a quasi-small angle of channels intersection. The conducted studies have shown that pressing in an equal-channel angular matrix with a quasi-small angle of channels intersection ensures the formation of a homogeneous sub-ultrafine-grained structure in the titanium nickelide alloy, while the average grain size, decreasing by 100-200 times, is 0.3-0.5 microns, and the tensile strength increases to 1350 MPa in 6 passes, which is almost 90% higher than in the coarse-grained quenched state.

The paper presents the microstructural investigation of a friction-welded joint made of 316L stainless steel with an ultrafine-grained structure obtained by hydrostatic extrusion (HE). Such a plastically deformed material is characterized by a metastable state of energy equilibrium, increasing, among others, its sensitivity to high temperatures. This feature makes it difficult to weld ultra-fine-grained metals without losing their high mechanical properties. The use of high-speed friction welding and a friction time of <1 s reduced the scale of the weakening of the friction joint in relation to result obtained in conventional rotary friction welding. The study of changes in the microstructure of individual zones of the friction joint was carried out on an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis system. The correlation between the microstructure and hardness of the friction joint is also presented. The heat released during the high-speed friction welding initiated the process of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of single grains in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). The additional occurrence of strong plastic deformations (in HAZ) during flash formation and internal friction (in the friction weld and high-temperature HAZ) contributed to the formation of a highly deformed microstructure with numerous sub-grains. The zones with a microstructure other than the base material were characterized by lower hardness. Due to the complexity of the microstructure and its multifactorial impact on the properties of the friction-welded joint, strength should be the criterion for assessing the properties of the joint.
