By using physical thermal simulation technology, combined with metallographic analysis, tensile tests, impact and hardness tests, effects of heating temperature and cooling speed on microstructure and mechanical properties of X80 induction heating bends were investigated. The results show that as the heating temperature rises, TS of X80 induction heating bends increases gradually. However, when the heating temperature rises above 1100°C, plasticity and toughness of the bends begin to decrease, and grain growth tends to be obvious. When the heating temperature is 1050°C, X80 induction heating bends have a good strength and toughness. As the cooling rate increases, strength and toughness of X80 bends are improved considerably. In the cooling rate range between 20°C/s and 30°C/s, the microstructure of X80 bends is mainly composed of polygonal ferrite and granular bainite. Due to the very high dislocation density inside granular bainite and the fine and dispersed M-A constituents, X80 induction heating bends have a very good strength and toughness.

Three different quenching media (water, oil and air) were used to compare the effect of cooling rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of SA508-3 steel. The result has demonstrated that the microstructure for water-quenched specimen is the mixture of martensite and lower bainite, for oil-quenched specimen is the mixture of upper bainite,lower bainite and a little martensite, while for air-cooled specimen is mostly granular bainite. The product of water and oil Q&T was tempered martensite with qualified mechanical properties. The air-cooled granular bainite was translated to massive and allotriomorphic ferrite during tempering, which had poor mechanical properties. To avoid the formation of granular bainite, it is necessary to increase the cooling rate to above 5°C/s.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of X70 pipeline steel with polygonal ferrite plus granular bainite were characterized using tensile tests, Charpy V-notch impact tests, drop weight tear tests, hardness tests and scanning electron microscopy. The results of experiment indicated that X70 pipeline steel with polygonal ferrite plus granular bainite showed an excellent combination of high strength and toughness. The base metal with polygonal ferrite plus granular bainite microstructure exhibited perfect mechanical properties in terms of the transverse yield ratio of 0.81, elongation of 46%, an impact energy of 335 J at -10 °C and a shear area of 90% at 0 °C in the drop weight tear test. The heat affected zone contained coarse grain zone and fine grain zone, which exhibited good low temperature toughness of 216 J at -10 °C. The weld metal primarily consisted of intragranularly nucleated acicular ferrites which led to the high strength and toughness.

In the present paper, the ZrB2/h-BN multiphase ceramics were fabricated by SPS (spark plasma sintering) technology at lower sintering temperature using h-BN, ZrO2, AlN and Si as raw materials and B2O3 as a sintering aid. The phase constitution and microstructure of specimens were analyzed by XRD and SEM. Moreover, the effects of different sintering pressures on the densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrB2/h-BN multiphase ceramics were also systematically investigated. The results show that the ZrB2 was obtained through solid phase reaction at different sintering pressures, and increasing sintering pressure could accelerate the formation of ZrB2 phase. As the sintering pressure increasing, the fracture strength and toughness of the sintered samples had a similar increasing tendency as the relative density. The better comprehensive properties were obtained at given sintering pressure of 50MPa, and the relative density, fracture strength and toughness reached about 93.4%, 321MPa and 3.3MPa·m1/2, respectively. The SEM analysis shows that the h-BN grains were fine and uniform, and the effect of sintering pressure on grain size was inconspicuous. The distribution of grain is random cross array, and the fracture texture was more obvious with the increase of sintering pressure. The fracture mode of sintered samples remained intergranular fracture mechanism as sintering pressure changed, and the grain refinement, grain pullout and crack deflection helped to increase the mechanical properties.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of solid solution temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy after T6 heat treatment was investigated. Following solid solution at five different temperatures for 2 hours, the AA7075 alloy was quenched and then artificially aged at 120∘C for 24 hours. Hardness measurements, microstructure examinations (SEM+EDS, XRD) and tensile tests were carried out for the alloys. The results showed that the increased solid solution temperature led to formation of precipitates in the microstructures and thus caused higher hardness and tensile strength.

The effects of welding wire composition on microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joint in Al-Mg-Si alloy were studied by electrochemical test, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and metallographic analysis. The results show that the weld zone is composed of coarse columnar dendrites and fine equated grains. Recrystallized grains are observed in the fusion zone, and the microstructure in the heat affected zone is coarsened by welding heat. The hardness curve of welded joint is like W-shaped, the highest hardness point appears near the fusion zone, and the lowest hardness point is in the heat affected zone. The main second phases of welded joints are: matrix α-Al, Mg2Si, AlMnSi, elemental Si and SiO2. The addition of rare earth in welding wire can refine the grain in weld zone obviously, produce fine grain strengthening effect, and improve the electrochemical performance of weld.
