In this work, the technology of Al-Gd alloys production has been developed, in which gadolinium is added as an alloying element during induction melting or in the composition of Gd2O3 disperse particles in the complex use of powder metallurgy and foundry technologies. The design of Vibration-jet agitator (VJA) and technology of its use for introduction of disperse particles into aluminum melts were developed. Aluminum alloys and dispersion-strengthened composites containing gadolinium have been obtained, their structure and neutron absorption properties has been studied.

Scandium in aluminum alloys behaves as the most efficient modifier of the structure of the material and as an agent suppressing recrystallization. This unique behavior of scandium in alloys of the Al-Mg system greatly increases the strength characteristics, whilst retaining on a higher level the ductility and processing properties of deformed semi-finished products. This article describes the effect of complex alloying the Al-6.3% Mg alloy with scandium, manganese and zirconium on the weldability and strength properties of the material is of considerable scientific and practical importance.Investigations.

The production of aluminum alloys through powder metallurgy (PM) processes allows for the manufacture of net- or near-net-shape components in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. The high reactivity of aluminum metal, however, complicates PM processing, and special attention must be given to certain steps during production, particularly sintering. PM processing conditions strongly affect the structure and porosity of aluminum PM alloys, which ultimately determine their material properties and performance. In this article, the fundamental aspects of the commercial production of aluminum PM alloys are presented, along with the effects of production conditions on the structure and porosity of aluminum PM alloys. The properties and performance of aluminum PM alloys are then analyzed and interpreted with respect to their structure and porosity.

High-entropy alloys are known to show exceptionally high mechanical properties, both compression and tensile strength, and unique physical properties, such as their phase stability. These quite unusual properties are primarily due to the microstructure generated by mechanical alloying processes, such as conventional induction arc melting, powder metallurgy, or mechanical alloying. In the present study, an equiatomic CoCrFeNiNb high-entropy alloy was prepared by a sequence of conventional induction melting, powder metallurgy, and compaction via spark plasma sintering. The high-entropy alloys showed uniform sub-micrometer grain microstructure consisted by a mixture of an fcc solid solution strengthened by a hcp Laves phase and a third intergranular oxide phase. The as-cast high-entropy alloys showed an ultimate compression strength (UCS) of ∼1400 MPa, which after sintering and compaction at 1273 K increased up to ∼2400 MPa. Extensive transmission electron microscopy quantitative analyses were carried out to model the UCS. A quite good agreement between the microstructure-strengthening model and the experimental UCS was found.

Recently, demand of aluminum alloys for manufacturing in components with high thermal conductivity application increases. However, the most aluminum die casting alloys exhibit very lower thermal properties, about only a half of pure aluminum. In die casting alloys, alloying elements are essential to obtain sufficient fluidity and mechanical strength, therefore, in this study, the effect of alloying elements, Si, Cu, Mg, Fe and Mn, on thermal conductivity, die casting characteristics and mechanical properties were analyzed and the appropriate amount of each alloying element were investigated. The results showed that Mn had the most deleterious effect in thermal conductivity and Si and Fe contents were important to improve fluidity and strength. The alloy with 1.5~2.0wt.%Si and 0.6wt.%Fe showed very good combination of high thermal conductivity and sufficient casting characteristics.
