Nickel Addition

In this work a comparative study between microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum-nickel alloys with different contents of nickel was carried out. Alloys were produced by powders metallurgy. Characterization results indicates that the microstructure of the aluminum-nickel alloys present a thin and homogeneous distribution of an intermetallic compound in the aluminum’s matrix, identified as Al3Ni. Furthermore, it was find out that the amount of intermetallic Al3Ni increase as the nickel content in the alloy rises. Regarding the mechanical properties evaluated; it was establishes that the hardness, compression and flexion resistances also were improved due to the presence of the intermetallic compound.

Tensile Strength Increase

This research investigates the nickel content added by 1.1wt%, 2.2wt%, 3.7wt% and 4.5wt% on the microstructure and mechanical properties in the nodular cast iron. The results demonstrate that the microstructure of nickel addition consists of nodule graphite, ferrite and pearlite phase while nickel was added to 4.5 wt% the microstructure becomes ferrite transform to fully pearlite phase. In addition the ductile iron has the highest nodularity (0.79%), followed by 1.1%Ni (0.75%), 2.2%Ni (0.71%), 3.7%Ni (0.69%) and 4.5%Ni (0.58%). The hardness and tensile strength increase when increasing the nickel content. Elongation is enhanced with nickel increasing and reaches a maximum of 12% at 1.1 wt% Ni, then decreases with the further increase of nickel.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

In this work, a titanium–tantalum carbonitride based cermet, with cobalt as the binder phase and boron as a sintering additive, was developed by a mechanically induced self-sustaining reaction process using two different methodologies. The boron additive was added to prevent the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds generally formed during the liquid phase sintering step due to the excessive ceramic dissolution into the molten binder phase. A systematic study was carried out to understand the effects of boron addition on the nature of the phases, microstructure, and mechanical properties of cermets. With the boron addition, the formation of two different boride solid solutions, i.e., (Ti,Ta)B2 and (Ti,Ta)3B4, was observed. Moreover, the nature of the binder was also modified, from the (Ti,Ta)Co2 brittle intermetallic compound (for cermets without boron addition) to ductile and tough (Ti,Ta)Co3 and α-Co phases (for cermets with boron addition). These modifications caused, as a general trend, the increase of hardness and toughness in cermets.

Cast Superalloy

The effects of HIP process on microstructure and mechanical properties of IN792 cast superalloy were studied. The results showed that HIP process produced more uniform and finer cubic γ′ than standard heat treatment. The difference of the mechanical properties should be caused by the microstructure changes. HIP process leads the homogeneous distribution of γ′ at dendritic arm and interdendritic area, and improved UTS and YS of tested alloy at 550°C. However, it played no role in increasing UTS and YS at room temperature and stress-rupture lives of 760°C/662MPa and decreased stress-rupture lives of 982°C/186MPa.
