In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructure of lithium disilicate glass–ceramics in the Li2O-SiO2-Al2O3-K2O-P2O5-ZrO2-CaO glass system were investigated. The glass-ceramics were prepared from the glass melt by casting into mold on hotplate. After that the glass was heat treated at 650-800 °C for 2 h. The heat treatment temperatures were determined from the differential thermal analysis (DTA). The phase formation and microstructure of the glass–ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the mechanical properties was investigated by Vickers hardness testing. The results indicated that the samples confirmed the occurrence of Li2SiO3, Li2Si2O5, Li3PO4, and LiAlSi2O6 phases in the prepared glass ceramics. The optimum heat treatment temperature results in the physical properties with a high Vickers hardness values in the range of 5.4-5.8 GPa.

The precipitation behavior during heat treatment and resulting mechanical properties of ASTM F 90 Co-20Cr-15W-10Ni (mass%) alloys were investigated with regards to their biomedical applications. Heat treatment was conducted at temperatures of 873 to 1623 K, for a holding time of 259.2 ks. The precipitates produced were then electrolytically extracted from the alloys and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). This revealed that the precipitates formed were an M23X6 type and/or η-phase (i.e., an M6X-M12X type). The M23X6-type precipitate was detected across the entire heat-treatment temperature range; however, the η-phase precipitate was only detected at 1073 to 1473 K, becoming dominant at 1173 to 1373 K. The formation of M23X6 type precipitates at 873 K is shown to improve the mechanical properties of this alloy, whereas the domination by the η-phase precipitate at higher temperatures causes deterioration in the ductility.

ABSTRACTTransparent optical ZnO–Bi2O3–B2O3 (ZBB) glass-ceramics were created by the melt quenching technique. In this work, a melt of the glass containing stoichiometric ratios of Zn/Bi/B and As was studied. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements was used to measure the thermal behavior. VIS/NIR transmission measurements were used to determine the transmission window. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine crystal phase. In this study, we explore new techniques and report a detailed study of in-situ XRD of the ZBB composition in order to correlate nucleation temperature, heat treatment temperature, and heat treatment duration with induced crystal phase.

The impact of base glass morphology and post heat-treatment protocol on the mechanical properties (Vickers hardness and Young’s modulus) of a multi-component glass-ceramic was examined. Two parent chalcogenide glasses with identical composition but varying morphology (homogeneous and phase separated) were evaluated for their mechanical properties following identical thermal processing to induce crystallization. The nucleation and growth rates of the starting materials were compared for the two glasses, and the resulting crystal phases and phase fractions formed through heat treatment were quantified and related to measured mechanical properties of the glass ceramics. The presence of a Pb-rich amorphous phase with a higher crystal formation tendency in the phase-separated parent glass significantly impacted the volume fraction of the crystal phases formed after heat-treatment. Pb-rich cubic crystal phases were found to be dominant in the resulting glass ceramic, yielding a minor enhancement of the material’s mechanical properties. This was found to be less than a more moderate enhancement of mechanical properties due to the formation of the dominant needle-like As2Se3 crystallites resulting from heat treatment of the homogeneous, commercially melted parent glass. The greater enhancement of both Vickers hardness and modulus in this glass ceramic attributable to the high-volume fraction of anisotropic As2Se3 crystallites in the post heat-treated commercial melt highlights the important role base glass morphology can play on post heat-treatment microstructure.

ABSTRACTThe investigations on enhanced reprocessing of nuclear spent fuel, and notably on separating the long-lived minor actinides, such as Am and Cm, from the other fission products have led to the development of highly durable specific matrices such as glass-ceramics for their immobilization. This study deals with the characterization of zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) based glass-ceramics synthesized by devitrification of an aluminosilicate parent glass. Trivalent actinide ions were simulated by neodymium, which is a paramagnetic local probe. Glass-ceramics with Nd2O3 contents ranging from 0 to 10 weight % were prepared by heat treatment of a parent glass at two different growth temperatures: 1050° and 1200°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements clearly indicate that Nd3+ ions are partly incorporated in zirconolite crystals formed in the bulk of the glass-ceramic samples. The amount of neodymium in the crystalline phase was estimated using ESR results and was found to decrease with increasing either heat treatment temperature or total Nd2O3 content.

Glasses based on the 3CaO.P2O5-SiO2-MgO system present high bioactivity aiming the use as bone restorations. On the other hand, the low mechanical properties reduce the importance of this glass aiming the use as restoration bulk specimens. In this work, glass-ceramics were obtained by devitrification of this glass using different temperatures. CaCO3, SiO2, MgO and Ca(H2PO4).H2O were used as starting-powders. Powder mixture was milled/homogenized and melted at 1600°C, for 2h and annealed at 700°C for 4h with cooling rate of 3°C/min. Glass specimens of 151550mm3 were characterized by DTA and XRD analysis. Specimens were heat-treated in different temperatures between 7000C and 1050°C, for 4 hours, obtaining glass-ceramics with different crystallized phase content. Hardness and fracture toughness were determined and correlated with crystalline phase content. The results indicated that crystallization-degree increase with the temperature, and the mechanical properties are improved: Hardness values present increases lower than 20% as function of the crystallization. Fracture toughness may increase 100% as function of temperature (crystallization degree).

In the present study, the effect of intercritical heat treatment temperature on the tensile properties and work hardening behavior of ferritic-martensitic dual-phase steel have been investigated utilizing tensile test, microhardness measurement and microscopic observation. Plain carbon steel sheet with a thickness of 2 mm was heat treated at 760, 780, 800, 820 and 840 °C intercritical temperatures. The results showed that martensite volume fraction (Vm) increases from 32 to 81%with increasing temperature from 760 to 840 °C. The mechanical properties of samples were examined by tensile and microhardness tests. The results revealed that yield strength was increased linearly with the increase in Vm, but the ultimate strength was increased up to 55% Vm and then decreased afterward. Analyzing the work hardening behavior in term of Hollomon equation showed that in samples with less than 55% Vm, the work hardening took place in one stage and the work hardening exponent increased with increasing Vm. More than one stage was observed in the work hardening behavior when Vm was increased. The results of microhardness test showed that microhardness of the martensite is decreased by increase in heat treatment temperature while the ferrite microhardness is nearly constant for all heat-treated samples.

Presented work analyses the impact of heat treatment parameters on the mechanical properties and operational reliability of P5 (5%Cr0.5%Mo) steel welded joints. The key objects of research are heat-treated chrome-molybdenum steel welded joints and piping elements operated at high temperature for an extensive period of time, where degradation of mechanical properties has been observed. The main objective is to investigate the causes of degradation of alloy steel mechanical properties during fabrication and operation of the equipment, and to develop a methodology for identification of optimum heat treatment parameters for chrome-molybdenum steel welded joints. A few key issues are addressed herein: identification of dependence of chrome-molybdenum (5%Cr-0.5%Mo) steel welded joint mechanical properties on heat treatment parameters, identification of the optimum value of temperature/time parameter, and identification of causes of mechanical property changes and degradation of the steel.

An investigation was conducted to determine the influence of high temperature treatment from 1600°C to 2800°C under stretching stress of 10MPa on PAN-based carbon fiber structure and physical properties. The tensile strength of fibers decreased from 4.5GPa to 2.97GPa with increasing treatment temperature up to 2800°C,while the modulus of fibers increased from 230GPa to 375GPa The texture in the longitudinal surface of fibers through heat treatment was characterized using a scanning electron microscopy. The contours of fiber surface became accidented with gaps becoming deeper as temperature increased. It has been observed that both the crystallite sizes (La, Lc) and the degree of preferred orientation increasd, while the crystallite interlayer spacing (d002) decreased by X-ray diffraction analysis with increasing heat-treatment temperature. The total porosity of fibers decreased from 21.01% to 15.09% and while the density of fibers increased from 1.720g/cm-3to1.886 g/cm-3with increasing heat-treatment. In addition, the relationship between mechanical properties and structure of variants was also explored in detail.

Ni-Ti alloy wires have been widely used in clinical orthodontics because of their properties of superelasticity (SE) and shape memory effect (SME). The purpose of this study was to assess the mechanical properties and phase transformation of 50.7Ni-49.3 Ti (at%) alloy (NT) and 45.2Ni-49.8Ti-5.0Cu (at%) alloy (NTC), cold-rolled with various percent reductions. To investigate SE and SME, heat-treatment was performed at 400°C and 600°C for 1 h. The specimens were examined using an Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope (EDS), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Universal Testing Machine (Instron), Vickers Hardness Tester and Optical Microscope (OM). On the three-point bending test, the superelastic load-deflection curve was seen in NTC heat-treated at 400°C. Furthermore, NT heat-treated at 400°C with 30% reduction produced a partial superelastic curve. For SME, no conditions revealed superelasticity at the oral temperature. Micro-hardness value increased with greater percentage reduction. The average grain size for all specimens was typically 55-80 µm. The results showed that locally-made Ni-Ti alloys have various transformation behaviors and mechanical properties depending on three principal factors: chemical composition, work-hardening (the percent reduction) and heat-treatment temperature.
