The effect of annealing treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure of cold-rolled Cu-20% Zn alloys was investigated in this work. Mechanical properties changed dramatically with the increase of temperature. According to the microhardness test, it can roughly concluded that 150 is the optimal annealing temperature for deformation, at which a uniform elongation increased from 1.4658% before annealing to about 6.89%, and the elongation to failure increased from 7.426% to 16.81% with the same strength almost retained. The changes of microstructure during the annealing process are mainly distributed to the improvement of mechanical properties.

The results show that: the best material composition of the aluminum alloy conductor would be 0.25% Fe, 0.40% Cu, 0.05% Mg, 0.30% Ce, 0.008% B, and aluminum and inevitable impurities. The intensity, elongation at break and conductivity of this aluminum conductor would be 110N/mm2, 30.0% and 62.2%IACS respectively. The best annealing process parameters are annealing temperature of 310°C, and holding time for 30min, direct air cool. The intensity of aluminum conductor processed is 129 N/mm2, and the elongation at break, resistivity, and conductivity are 15.0%, 2.782×10-8Ω•m and 62%IACS respectively.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the continuous annealing DP590 steel produced by a cold rolled plant were studied by utilizing a Gleeble thermal simulator tested machine. The results show that, increasing annealing temperature can not effectively improve the martensite content in the steel and annealing temperature be set at 780 °C and 800 °C is rational. Martensite decomposition at high overaging temperature will decrease tensile strength of the samples. As the overaging temperature sets at 250 °C ~ 300 °C, the samples could achieve tensile strength more than 600 MPa, which meet the requirements of DP590.

Microstructure of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd alloys at casting, hot-rolled -cold-rolled and annealed state were observed; the effect of annealing on the microstructure was studied, as were the mechanical properties and forming properties of the alloys, and the mechanism of action was explored. Analysis of the solidification process showed that the primary Al solidification is followed by the eutectic reaction. The second Al8Cu4Yb and Al8Cu4Gd phases play an important role as recrystallization inhibitor. The Al3Yb or (Al, Cu)17Yb2 phase inclusions are present in the Al-Cu-Yb alloy at the boundary between the eutectic and aluminum dendrites. The recrystallization starting temperature of the alloys is in the range of 250–350 °C after rolling with previous quenching at 590 and 605 °C for Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd, respectively. The hardness and tensile properties of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd as-rolled alloys are reduced by increasing the annealing temperature and time. The as-rolled alloys have high mechanical properties: YS = 303 MPa, UTS = 327 MPa and El. = 3.2% for Al-Cu-Yb alloy, while YS = 290 MPa, UTS = 315 MPa and El. = 2.1% for Al-Cu-Gd alloy.

The influence of the mechanical properties of X70 pipeline steel under different annealing temperature was studied. The corresponding microstructure was investigated by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed that the yield strength and the tensile strength both experienced from rise to decline with the increase of annealing temperature. The grain sizes were coarse and a large amount of cementite precipitated due to preserving temperature above 550 °, which induced matrix fragmentation and deteriorate the -10 ° DWTT Toughness. There were little changes on the microstructure and mechanical properties when the annealing temperature was under 500 °.

This work is to study the influence of heat treatment on microstrudture and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy prepared by solid -state recycling. AZ31B magnesium alloy chips were recycled by hot extruding. Three different heat treatments were conducted for recycled alloy. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the recycled specimen and heat treated specimen were investigated. 300°C×2h annealing specimen exhibits finer grain due to static recrystallization, and microstructure of 400°C×2h annealing specimen becomes more coarse. 300°C×2h annealing treatment improves obviously strength and ductility of recycled alloy. Ultimate tensile strength of alloy decreases and elongation to failure increases after 400°C×2h annealing. Grain size, dislocation density and bonding of chips have an effect on the elongation of recycled materials. 190°C×8h ageing has no influence on microstructure and mechanical properties of recycled alloy.

The annealing temperature is a key parameter for the mechanical properties and microstructure control of the 2195 Al-Li alloy sheet in the annealing process. In the present study, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure of 2195 Al-Li alloy sheet was investigated using a general mechanical testing machine, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and backscattered electron microscope (EBSD). It was found that the optimized annealing temperature for 2195Al-Li alloy sheet of H112 state is 400°C, the alloy sheet shows the satisfactory mechanical properties. In addition, with the increase of annealing temperature, the δ' phase, the θ' phase and the T1 phase are formed in the alloy sheet, which leads to the strength of the alloy increase. Furthermore, the annealing temperature obviously affect the texture component and intensity during annealing treatment process.

Cu-Al-Cu laminated composite was prepared with cold roll bonding process and annealing was carried out to study the phase evolution during the annealing process and its effect on the mechanical properties of the composite. The experimental results showed that after annealing the brittle intermetallics in the interface mainly includes Al4Cu9, AlCu and Al2Cu. With the increase of annealing temperature, the tensile strength of the composite decreases and the elongation shows a different variation which increases at the beginning and then decreases after a critical point. This phenomenon is related to the evolution of intermetallic compounds in the interface of the composite. It was also found that the crack source of the tensile sample is in the interface and delamination appeared at high annealing temperature (450 °C).

To improve the formability of aluminum alloy, a new forming technique-the preform annealing process is proposed. Based on the mechanical properties of the original aluminum alloy AA5182-O with two experienced preforming annealing treatment, and preforming annealing process of a complex geometric shape aluminum door inner panel was numerical simulated by using LS-DYNA software. As a result, the effects of annealing time at 365°C on stamping height of the panel and the optimum annealing time were obtained. The results showed that the preform annealing process was feasible in the door inner panel. At 365°C, the smooth forming of the door inner panel was achieved after annealing for 20s with the pre-deformation amount 97mm, Which are the most suitable parameters.

The microstructure of magnesium alloy sheets (nominal composition Mg–6Zn–Y in at. %) was investigated with the Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) technique after the annealing treatment. Tensile test at room temperature was performed to show the influence of annealing treatment on mechanical properties. Experimental results indicate that there are a large number of twin crystals appearing in microstructure of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y alloy sheet at 350 °C. The distinct icosahedral phase appears on the α-Mg matrix in granular form and the strength gets largely improved to the maximum. The uniform distribution of isometric crystal contributes to the best elongation at the annealing temperature of 400 °C.

Copper foils with 91% cold rolled deformation annealed at temperature between 140°C and 170 °C.The microstructures were observed by EBSD. The mechanical properties were measured at room temperature by tensile test machine and the fracture morphologies observed by SEM. After annealed at 150 °C, recrystallization begins to occur, while the elongation increases evidently and tensile strength decreases sharply. When the temperature rises to 170 °C, recrystallization is complete and the grain starts to grow. When the foils are annealed at 140 °C, it exhibits a strong cold rolling textures characterized by Brass {011}<211> and Cu {112}<111>. After annealed at 170 °C, there are olny weak Brass {011}<211> texture.
