Effect of nitrogen (N) addition on mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn alloy was investigated in this study. Ti-7mol%Cr-3mol%Sn was selected and less than 0.5wt% of N were systematically added. The alloys were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and tensile tests at room temperature. The apparent phase was β (bcc) phase, whereas the presence of precipitates was confirmed in 0.5wt%N-added alloy only which did not exhibit sufficient cold workability. The grain size was not largely affected by N addition being less than 0.5wt%. Tensile tests revealed that less than 0.5wt%N addition improves the strength which is due to the solution hardening by interstitial N atoms.

Effects of extrusion on mechanical properties and damping capacity of Mg-1.8wt.%Cu -0.5wt.%Mn (MCM1805) alloy have been investigated. Tensile tests and dynamic mechanical analyzer were respectively used to measure tensile properties and damping capacity at room temperature of as-cast and as-extruded MCM1805 alloy. The microstructure was studied using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Granato-Lücke model was used to explain the influences of extrusion on damping capacity of MCM1805 alloy. The results showed that extrusion dramatically decreases the grain size but has little influence on phase composition and solute atoms concentration of MCM1805 alloy, and the grain refinement was the dominant reason for the obvious increase of tensile properties and decrease of internal friction of MCM1805 alloy.

The aims of this research were study the microstructures and mechanical properties for partial replacement of cement with Fly ash (FA) and kaolin waste (KW). Ordinary Portland cement were partially replaced with FA and KW in the range of 25-35% and 10-25% by weight of cement powder. The kaolin waste was ground for 180 minutes before using. The specimen was packing into an iron mold which sample size of 5×5×5 cm3. Then, the specimens were kept at room temperature for 24 hours and were moist cured in the incubation lime water bath at age of 3 days. After that the specimens were dry cured with plastic wrap at age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that the compounds were examined by x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compressive strength was then investigated.

In this study, we focused on the sintering performance of Ti-4.5Al-3V-2Mo-2Fe (SP-700) and mechanical properties of SP-700 reinforced with titanium boride (TiB/SP-700) fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). TiB whiskers formed in titanium by a solid-state reaction of titanium and TiB2 particles were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The TiB/SP-700 was sintered at temperatures of 1073, 1173, and 1273 K and a pressure of 70 MPa for 10, 30, and 50 min. The volume fraction of TiB ranged from 1.7 vol.% to 19.9 vol.%. Tensile tests of TiB/SP-700 were conducted at room temperature, and the effect of TiB volume fraction on the tensile properties was investigated.

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has attracted great interest in the aerospace and medical sectors because it can produce complex and lightweight parts with high accuracy. Austenitic stainless steel alloy 316 L is widely used in many applications due to its good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. In this study, L-PBF-processed 316 L was investigated for its suitability in aerospace applications at cryogenic service temperatures and the behavior at cryogenic temperature was compared with room temperature to understand the properties and microstructural changes within this temperature range. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature and at −196 °C to study the mechanical performance and phase changes. The microstructure and fracture surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results showed a significant increase in the strength of 316 L at −196 °C, while its ductility remained at an acceptable level. The results indicated the formation of ε and α martensite during cryogenic testing, which explained the increase in strength. Nanoindentation revealed different hardness values, indicating the different mechanical properties of austenite (γ), strained austenite, body-centered cubic martensite (α), and hexagonal close-packed martensite (ε) formed during the tensile tests due to mechanical deformation.

In present paper we will show how nitrogen effects microstructures, transformation temperatures, and mechanical properties of equiatomic Ti50–Ni50 and Ti-rich Ti51–Ni49 binary shape memory alloys. 0.5 at.% of nitrogen was added to prepare Ti50–Ni49.5–N0.5, and Ti51–Ni48.5–N0.5 (at.%) alloys by arc-melting. Microstructures were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), phase constitutions were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transformation temperatures were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and mechanical properties were tested by tensile tests. Solutions treated Ti–Ni–N shape memory alloys contain TiNi matrix without nitrogen, Ti2Ni type phase containing a small amount of nitrogen and a new Ti2N type phase containing a small amount of nickel. Compared with Ti50–Ni50 and Ti51–Ni49 binary alloys, the martensitic transformation starts temperatures (Ms) of Ti50–Ni49.5–N0.5 and Ti51–Ni48.5–N0.5 ternary alloys decreased from 63.4 °C to 41.6 °C and from 85.3 °C to 79.4 °C, respectively. By adding N, fracture strain decreased and incomplete superelasticity was observed.

A facile route was proposed to fabricate core–sheath microfibers, and the relationships among processing parameters, crystalline structures and the mechanical properties were investigated. The compression molded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH)/poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) strip enhanced the spinnability of PHBH and the mechanical properties of PLLA as well. The core–sheath ratio of the fibers was determined by the prefab strip, while the PLLA sheath component did not completely cover the PHBH core component due to the weak interfacial tension between the melts of PHBH and PLLA. A rotational target was applied to collect aligned fibers, which were further drawn in a water bath. The tensile strength and the modulus of as-spun and drawn fibers increased with increasing the take-up velocities. When the take-up velocity was above 500 m/min, the jet became unstable and started to break up at the tip of the Taylor cone, decreasing the mechanical properties of the fibers. The drawing process facilitated the crystallization of PLLA and PHBH, and the tensile strength and the modulus increased linearly with the increasing the draw ratio. The crystal information displayed from wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns and differential scanning calorimetry heating curves supported the results of the tensile tests.

TiAl alloy with a composition of Ti-43Al-5V-4Nb-Y (at.%) was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The TiAl powders were sintered between 650°C and 1300°C for 5 min under different loads. With the increasing of the temperature, the diffusion of the elements can be observed. Full compaction is achieved in a short period of time and the overall processing duration does not exceed 30 min. A fully lamellar structure was seen in the TiAl alloy after heat treatment. The microstructures of the samples were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Their mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests performed at room temperature

Ti-6Al-4V films were deposited by direct-current magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperatures. The structure and the surface morphology of the films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The hardness and elastic moduli of Ti-6Al-4V films were measured by nanoindentation test. The results showed that the phase direction of the films deposited at room temperature was (102) orientation, and turned to almost complete (002) preferred orientation at 300°C. For a higher temperature of 500°C, the preferred orientation of the film disappeared and presented a random grain orientation. The hardness and elastic moduli of Ti-6Al-4V films obviously showed the dependence on the temperature. The relationships among temperature, microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V films were discussed in this paper.
