The high temperature mechanical properties of dual phase heavy metal of 95W-3.5Ni-1.5Fe alloy were investigated in tension. The specimens were prepared by liquid phase sintering. Yield strength decreased and ductility increased as the testing temperature was increased to 300°C, reached a plateau at between 300 and 500°C and then decreased considerably. The fracture modes of alloys when deformed at room temperature were a mixture of intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage. As the temperature was increased, the percentage of intergranular cleavage increased, although transgranular fracture also remained. At higher temperatures, substantial reduction in ductility and in yield strength was a result of loss of bonding strength between tungsten grains and matrix phase.

In order to improve high temperature mechanical properties of Ti2AlNb based alloys, alloying with a combination of Ta and W was studied in the on-going work. The effects of cooling rate after solution heat treatment on the room temperature mechanical properties have been reported in this paper. All samples were solid solution treated at near β transus temperature, cooled at different cooling rates, and then aged at subtransus temperature. Experimental results showed that, with increasing cooling rate, room temperature yield strength decreased sharply to a minimum value, and then increased. Change of elongation exhibits a trend opposite to yield strength. Microstructure of the alloy varied from near lamellar to lamellar plus Widmanstätten, and then to full Widmanstätten structure with the increase of cooling rate, and the faster the cooling rate, the finer the laths of the O phase. The samples with near lamellar microstructure obtained at the cooling rate of 6oC/min possess the best ductility but relatively low yield strength.

The effects of minor Al and Ce on the microstructures, room-temperature and high-temperature mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn magnesium alloys were investigated. With the Al addition into Mg-6Zn alloy, the coarse eutectic Mg51Zn20phases were refined and distributed discontinuously. After adding 0.5wt.% Ce into Mg-6Zn-1Al alloy, a new needle-like Al2CeZn2phase was observed. Meanwhile, the volume fraction of Mg51Zn20phase decreased and the semi-continuous Mg51Zn20phase became discontinuous globular morphology. It has been observed that the addition of Ce element coarsens the grains, and 1wt.% Al addition enhanced the yield strength and ultimate strength from 86.35MPa, 229MPa to 90.7MPa, 238MPa, respectively. Moreover, the Ce addition can significantly increase the high-temperature mechanical properties of cast Mg-6Zn-1Al alloy.

It is expected that silicon nitride based ceramics will be used as high-temperature structural components. Though much progress has been made in both processing techniques and microstructural control, the mechanical properties required have not yet been achieved. It is thought that the high-temperature mechanical properties of Si3N4 are limited largely by the secondary glassy phases present at triple points. These are due to various oxide additives used to promote liquid-phase sintering. Therefore, many attempts have been performed to crystallize these second phase glassy pockets in order to improve high temperature properties. In addition to the glassy or crystallized second phases at triple points a thin amorphous film exists at two-grain junctions. This thin film is found even in silicon nitride formed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) without additives. It has been proposed by Clarke that an amorphous film can exist at two-grain junctions with an equilibrium thickness.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.

Composites of the Al—Sn system obtained by liquid-phase sintering of a mixture of doped aluminum powders with tin powder have been investigated. It was found that a small amount of alloying additives (Zn, Mg, Si, Cu) contributed to a considerable strengthening of the aluminum matrix when processing it by the method of equal channel angular pressing, but at the same time reduced the plastic properties. Samples alloyed with 2% Cu demonstrate the maximum strength and minimum ductility.
