In this paper, the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a deformed Co-Cr-Ni-W superalloy strip was investigated. The cold-rolled superalloy was annealed at different temperatures 500°C~1240°C for 10min. It was found that hardness increased in the range temperature 500°C~800°C, the annealing had aging strengthening effect, this was due to the fcc~hcp transformation. As the annealing temperature is higher than 800°C, the hardness decreased with the increase of the annealing temperature. There were four inflection points in the influence of annealing temperature on the hardness of the alloy, which were about 800°C,900°C,1050°Cand 1150°C. From 800°C to 900°C, the hardness of the alloy decreased rapidly, recovery and recrystallization was initial. From 900°C to 1050°C, the hardness of the alloy decreased slower, recrystallization was finished and grain growth slowly. The temperature reaches 1050°C to 1150°C, the hardness curve decreased rapidly, carbides dissolution and grain growth was considerable. Above 1150°C, the hardness tended to be stable, the grain growth of the alloy was obvious, and more annealing twins were also formed. As the annealing temperature increased, the tensile strength decreased and the elongation increased.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of solid solution temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy after T6 heat treatment was investigated. Following solid solution at five different temperatures for 2 hours, the AA7075 alloy was quenched and then artificially aged at 120∘C for 24 hours. Hardness measurements, microstructure examinations (SEM+EDS, XRD) and tensile tests were carried out for the alloys. The results showed that the increased solid solution temperature led to formation of precipitates in the microstructures and thus caused higher hardness and tensile strength.

In the paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZYK530 Mg alloy with different aging heat treatment processes were analyzed and studied by OM, SEM, EDS and XRD. The results show that after heat treatment at different temperatures and aging times, the hardness of the alloy first decreases, then increases in a wave-like manner, and then decreases in a wave-like manner after reaching its peak value. The optimum aging process of ZYK530 alloy is T5-220°C×5h, and the maximum hardness is 88.34HRE, which tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are 335MPa, 305MPa and 13.5% respectively. Compared with the untreated forged alloy, the mechanical properties are increased by 6.3%, 4.8% and 35%, which its fracture mechanism is mainly ductile-brittle mixed fracture.

In this paper, three different double annealing treatments were applied on the 3mm-thick Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-1Mo-2Nb-0.2Si (Ti62421S) alloy plate. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile tests were used to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties under different temperatures of Ti62421S alloy. The results show that the content of primary α phase (αp) decreases while transformed β structure (βt) increases with the increasing first-stage annealing temperature. After double annealing treatment, ordered α2 phase particles precipitate within αp and the size increases with first annealing temperature. This leads to that with increasing first annealing temperature, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) at 600~650°C increases while elongation decreases. After 1000°C/1h/AC+ 750°C/2h/AC annealing, Ti62421S alloy plate exhibits superior combination of mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures.

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) has excellent mechanical properties related to its microstructure ausferrite, and with the cycle of austempering heat treatment, many mechanical properties can be obtained from the same alloy, simply changing the time and temperature. To evaluate the influence of austempering time and temperature on the ADI, analyzed the modifications in the microstructures and mechanical properties of the samples of ductile iron, subjected to austempering heat treatment with austenitizing time and temperature of 910 °C and 90 minutes and during the austempering bath, the samples were submitted to different temperatures, 300, 320, 340, 360 e 380 °C, and for four different times for each temperature, 75, 110, 145 and 180 minutes. For the microstructural analysis, the microscopic techniques were used: optical and scanning electron and mechanical properties were obtained by mechanical testing of hardness and impact. The results show that there is a relationship between austempering temperature with microstructure and mechanical properties. The highest retained austenite and energy absorbed were 25.73% and 130 J, respectively, for the austempered sample at 380 °C and 180 minutes and the highest hardness value was 458 HB for the austempered sample at 300 °C and 75 minutes.

Microstructure of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd alloys at casting, hot-rolled -cold-rolled and annealed state were observed; the effect of annealing on the microstructure was studied, as were the mechanical properties and forming properties of the alloys, and the mechanism of action was explored. Analysis of the solidification process showed that the primary Al solidification is followed by the eutectic reaction. The second Al8Cu4Yb and Al8Cu4Gd phases play an important role as recrystallization inhibitor. The Al3Yb or (Al, Cu)17Yb2 phase inclusions are present in the Al-Cu-Yb alloy at the boundary between the eutectic and aluminum dendrites. The recrystallization starting temperature of the alloys is in the range of 250–350 °C after rolling with previous quenching at 590 and 605 °C for Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd, respectively. The hardness and tensile properties of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd as-rolled alloys are reduced by increasing the annealing temperature and time. The as-rolled alloys have high mechanical properties: YS = 303 MPa, UTS = 327 MPa and El. = 3.2% for Al-Cu-Yb alloy, while YS = 290 MPa, UTS = 315 MPa and El. = 2.1% for Al-Cu-Gd alloy.
