The automotive industry applies pressure on the PM industry to produce components with superior mechanical properties at minimum cost. In this regard, sinter-hardenable powders are particularly well suited since they allow direct quenching of components at the end of the sintering cycle, thus eliminating the extra steps required for heat treating. This paper presents the results of the modeling of the influence of admixing and/or prealloying on the optimization of compressibility and hardenability of sinter-hardenable steel powders. A first design of experiments (DOE) was used to optimize the chemical composition and to study the interactions between prealloyed elements (Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum and Manganese) and admixed elements (Nickel, Chromium, Manganese and Copper) on hardenability and compressibility. A second DOE was generated based on the results obtained in the first series. Results show that among all of the examined alloying elements, only prealloyed nickel, chromium and molybdenum had a significant effect on compressibility and hardenability. Moreover, within the range of concentrations under study, the optimum sinter-hardenable powder had the following (prealloyed) chemistry: 1.5 wt-% Ni, 0.55 wt-% Cr and 1.25 wt-% Mo.

The excellent mechanical properties of Ni based superalloys depend upon the presence of γ’ particles (LI2 structure). Their volume fraction, spatial distribution and size determine the mechanical strength of these alloys. Ni alloys for technological applications make use of large volume fractions of precipitates where processes of coarsening and coalescence take place during service leading in some cases to deterioration of properties. Addition of different alloying elements prevents accelerated coalescence by retarding diffusion and thus improving the mechanical properties of such alloys. Coalescence can also take place under the influence of an applied stress leading to the formation of rafts of the y' phase. For example the microstructure changes during creep deformation, depending on the alloy composition, with the corresponding formation of dislocation networks and rafts of different morphologies [1]. The γ-γ’ interfaces are also different depending on the alloy composition and most likely to the local distribution of alloying elements and their strain fields.

The aim of the work is to determine the content intervals of alloying elements in structural alloyed steels, which ensure the obtaining of mechanical properties and the conformity of rolled products to the requirements of European standards. The studies were conducted using a predictive model developed by the Iron and Steel Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, taking into account the full chemical composition of the steel. The regularities of changes in the interatomic interaction parameter on the number of alloying elements in the steel composition and its relationship with mechanical properties are revealed. The dependences of mechanical properties (tensile strength, relative elongation) on the chemical composition of steel are constructed through the physicochemical criterion – the average statistical distance between interacting atoms (structural parameter d). The interrelation between the chemical composition and mechanical properties of chrome-molybdenum structural steels has been established. It is shown that increasing the chromium content increases the tensile strength, and doping with molybdenum and vanadium increases the ductility of rolled products. It was determined that in order to guarantee compliance with the requirements of the ultimate strength (900-1100 MPa) and relative elongation (> 11%) for steel 31CrMoV9, the content of alloying elements should correspond to the following intervals: 2.42-2.62%Cr, 0.2-0, 23%Mo and 0.17-0.20%V. The results obtained make it possible to predict the mechanical properties of doped steel, depending on the actual chemical composition of the steel.

This paper presents the results of statistical tests, carried out to identify the mechanical properties of Ø 16-150 mm VT6 titanium alloy bars, as a function of their post-annealing chemical composition and structure. It is shown that the high variation of mechanical properties may be, due to fluctuations in the grade composition and structure type. 50% to 60% of variations in strength properties are due to composition + structure co-effects. To improve the stability of such properties, the paper identifies maximum permissible total fluctuations in the chemical composition in terms of aluminum/molybdenum equivalents of alloying elements and impurities. The research team has fitted the regression dependencies for evaluating the mean values of the mechanical properties of Ø 16-60 mm VT6 bars, as a function of the structure type and aluminum/molybdenum equivalents of the alloying elements and impurities.
