There are two major types of solid state phase transformations in metallic materials; the formation of second phase particles during heat treatments, and the transformation of the matrix from one crystalline packing arrangement to another during either heating or cooling. These transformations change the spacing between adjacent atoms and can thus influence the residual stress levels formed. The heating and cooling cycles of materials processing operations using lasers such as cladding and melting/heating, can induce phase transformations depending on the character of the material being processed. This paper compares the effects of the different phase transformations and also the influence of the type of laser processing on the final residual stress formed. The comparisons are made between laser clad AA7075, laser clad Ti-6Al-4V and laser melted nickel-aluminium bronze using neutron diffraction and the contour method of measuring residual stress.

Micro Alloyed Steel

The formation of second phase particles in the steel matrix during melting and casting plays an important role in controlling the grain size of steel. An attempt is made in the present work to find the role of nitrogen on forming nitride particles either with aluminum or titanium. Two steel samples with the same titanium and aluminum weight percent in their chemical composition were collected after the hot rolling process. Solution heat treatment at 1350°C for 60min holding time was used to dissolve the particles and then the steel samples were reheated at 800°C for 60min, water quenched and their microstructure was revealed by usual grinding and polishing process using 2% Nital. A transmission electron microscope connected with EDS was used to reveal the morphology of the second phase particles. The samples for TEM analysis were prepared by the replica extraction method in 5% Nital solution. The samples were then caught in 3mm copper grid for TEM analysis. TEM micrographs revealed the second phase particles in the matrix of steel. EDS peaks were studied and titanium peaks were found in both samples and surprisingly there was not any peak found for aluminum.

The precipitation behavior of the second phase particles was observed and studied by a carbon extraction replica technique used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for Nb-bearing dual-phase steel. It is found that there are more second phase particles on the surface than that of in the center of sample. The mainly smaller particle which sizes of is below 20nm show the shape of spherical and ellipse. The sizes of larger particles are range of 20nm~40nm and the shape of them present rectangle or ellipse. The particles are dispersed on the matrix and the particle boundary is clear. The precipitate composition of particles are all Nb(C、N) examined by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The results of microstructure shows that the second phase particles pinned on grain boundary not only can inhibited the grain growth, but also the grain can be fined during the heating and cooling course.

Thinning Process

One important problem in determination of precipitate particle size is the effect of preferential thinning during TEM specimen preparation. Figure 1a schematically represents the original polydispersed Ni3Al precipitates in the Ni rich matrix. The three possible type surface profiles of TEM specimens, which result after electrolytic thinning process are illustrated in Figure 1b. c. & d. These various surface profiles could be produced by using different polishing electrolytes and conditions (i.e. temperature and electric current). The matrix-preferential-etching process causes the matrix material to be attacked much more rapidly than the second phase particles. Figure 1b indicated the result. The nonpreferential and precipitate-preferential-etching results are shown in Figures 1c and 1d respectively.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of deformation mode on recrystallization behavior of severely deformed material. Commercial purity AA3104 aluminum alloy was deformed via high pressure torsion and equal channel angular pressing to different strains and then annealed to obtain the state of partial recrystallization. The microstructure and the crystallographic texture were analysed using scanning and transmission electron microscopes equipped with orientation measurement facilities. The nucleation of new grains was observed in bulk recrystallized samples and during in-situ recrystallization in the transmission microscope. Irrespective of the applied deformation mode, a large non-deformable second phase particles strongly influenced strengthening of the matrix through deformation zones around them. It is known that relatively high stored energy stimulates the nucleation of new grains during the recrystalization. In most of the observed cases, the growth of recrystallized grains occurred by the coalescence of neighboring subcells. This process usually led to nearly homogeneous equiaxed grains of similar size. The diameter of grains in the vicinity of large second phase particles was only occasionally significantly larger than the average grain size. Large grains were most often observed in places far from the particles. TEM orientation mapping from highly deformed zones around particles showed that orientations of new grains were not random and only strictly defined groups of orientations were observed.

Friction stir processing (FSP) is the effective method of the grain refinement for light metals. The aim of this study is to acquire the fine grained bulk Mg-Y-Zn alloy by ingot metallurgy route much lower in cost. Such bulk alloy can be formed by the superplastic forging. The microstructure of as-cast Mg-Y-Zn alloy was dendrite. The dendrite arm spacing was 72.5 [(m], and there are the lamellar structures in it. FSP was conducted on allover the plate of Mg-Y-Zn alloy for both surfaces by the rotational tool with FSW machine. The stirring passes were shifted half of the probe diameter every execution. The dendrite structures disappeared after FSP, but the lamellar structure could be observed by TEM. The matrix became recrystallized fine grain, and interdendritic second phase particles were dispersed in the grain boundaries. By using FSP, cast Mg-Y-Zn alloy could have fine-grained. This result compared to this material produced by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) or rapid-solidified powder metallurgy (RS P/M). As the result, as-FSPed material has the higher hardness than materials produced by the other processes at the similar grain size.

In this paper, nano-Ti3SiC2/MoSi2 composite, whose second phase was 20-150nm, was in situ prepared by mechanical activation (MA) and SPS process with the quaternary powers of Mo, Si, Ti, and C. The results showed that: (1) matrix MoSi2 has strong repulsion to other elements, which leads to more second-phase particles inside the matrix rather than on the matrix surface; (2) matrix MoSi2 has strong restriction on the growing of the second phase, which makes the particle diameter of the second phase inside the matrix only in 200 nm around, while that over the surface reaches to 800 nm around.
