Since the very first production trials, it was evident that semi-solid components exhibit excellent mechanical properties, comparable to those of forged material and, in any case, better than permanent mold castings. Over the years, these findings have been confirmed by many authors. Most of the papers available in scientific literature deals with the demonstration of this improvement, especially in order to show the reliability of new and alternative production routes. On the contrary, only some studies focus their attention on the relationship between enhanced mechanical properties and the microstructure. However, it is demonstrated that the increased performance of semi-solid components is not only due to the absence of porosity, but there is a clear relationship between microstructure and properties. This paper reports about the state of knowledge in this subject, in particular for what concerns tensile, fatigue, wear and corrosion resistance.

VC/Fe composite samples were fabricated by sintering at 1050, 1100 and 1150°C in vacuum. The microstructure and mechanical properties of samples were examined, and the relationship of structure and mechanical properties for VC/Fe composite sintered at different temperature were studied. The results show that fracture toughness, hardness and density is increasing obviously at 1050-1100°Cwith the increasing sintering temperature, but the growth trend increases slowly at 1100-1150°C; in whole process with temperature increased, Flexure strength heighten trend obviously. The microstructure of VC/Fe composite changed from particles piled up together to the microstructure particles closely, VC particles set gradually into Fe with temperature increased, and the gap reduced gradually.

The relationship between microstructure and properties of weld heat-affected zones in X100 grade pipeline steels was studied. It was found that the intercritically reheated coarse-grained heat-affected zone (IRCGHAZ) of experimental steels has the lowest toughness values when the second peak temperature is at the intercritical (α + γ) region during multi-pass welding. The local embrittlement is attributed to the morphology, amount, and size of the M-A constituent. It is also found that the microstructural inheritance at IRCGHAZ has a deleterious effect on toughness. On the basis of the experimental results, it is suggested that the local embrittlement could be prevented by using pre-heating or post-heating thermal cycle. Pre-heating thermal cycle would eliminate the microstructural inheritance and meliorate M-A constituent. Furthermore, the use of a post-heating thermal cycle will improve the morphology, amount and size of the M-A constituent, and improve the conformation of ferrite matrix.

The present review will try to sum up the research on the microstructure and properties of the Ti(C,N)-based cermets materials in recent years. Firstly, the development history, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets, and the relationship between Ti(C,N)-based cermets microstructure and their properties were introduced respectively. Secondly, Compared with different microstructure and properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets material which were made by different composite constituent. Furthermore, the relationship between mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets and sintering method was introduced. Results show that the high performance products can be produced by means of fast sintering techniques at low temperature successfully, such as spark plasma sintering technology. However, the most widely used way is vacuum sintering method. Lastly, the development trend of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were included.

AbstractSub-atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes have been developed to produce theoretically dense, highly pure, void-free and large area bulk materials, SiC, Si, ZnSe, ZnS and ZnSxSe1-x. These materials are used for optical elements, such as mirrors, lenses and windows, over a wide spectral range from the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to the infrared (IR).In this paper we discuss the effect of CVD process conditions on the microstructure and properties of these materials, with emphasis on optical performance. In addition, we discuss the effect of chemical composition on the properties of the composite material ZnSxSe1-x.We first present a general overview of the bulk CVD process and the relationship between process conditions, such as temperature, pressure, reactant gas concentration and growth rate, and the microstructure, morphology and properties of CVD-grown materials. Then we discuss specific results for CVDgrown SiC, Si, ZnSe, ZnS and ZnSxSe1-x.
