A high temperature alloy Ti-1100 was produced by vacuum induction melting technology. The effects of casting modulus on the microstructure and hardness of the cast alloys were determined and the results were presented and briefly discussed. Results demonstrate that the microstructure of cast alloys with different modulus are all widmanstatten structure with basket weave features where individual α-laths are separated by a thin layer of retained prior β phase. The greater the modulus, the larger the prior β grain size and α-laths spacing, and the less the Vickers hardness. The roles of the casting modulus governing the microstructures and hardness of the alloys were also discussed.

A new type of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si series high temperature titanium alloy was prepared by a water-cooled copper crucible vacuum induction melting method, and its phase transition point was determined by differential thermal analysis to be Tβ = 1017 °C. The influences of solution temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-forged high temperature titanium alloy were studied. XRD results illustrated that the phase composition of the alloy after different heat treatments was mainly α phase and β phase. The microstructures showed that with the increase of the solution temperature, the content of the primary α phase gradually reduced, the β transformation structure increased by degrees, then, the number and size of secondary α phase increased obviously. The tensile results at room temperature (RT) illustrated that as the solution temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually increased, and the plasticity decreased slightly. The results of tensile test at 650 °C illustrated that the strength of the alloy enhanced with the increase of solution temperature, the plasticity decreased first and then increased, when the solution temperature increased to 1000 °C, the alloy had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, the tensile strength reached 714.01 MPa and the elongation was 8.48 %. Based on the room temperature and high temperature properties of the alloy, the best heat treatment process is finally determined as: 1000 °C/1 h/AC+650 °C/6 h/AC.

Single-phase tungsten diboride (WB2) was synthesized at high pressure and high temperature. The different grain sizes ranging from 300 nm to 3 µm were successfully obtained in WB2 by controlling the experimental conditions. The effects of grain size on hardness and resistivity properties were investigated. The Vickers hardness of WB2 was modulated with grain size. The maximum asymptotic Vickers hardness is 25.5 GPa for WB2 with a grain size of 300 nm which is a 10% increase compared to WB2 with a grain size of 3 µm. The optimal electrical resistivity of WB2 was 10−7 Ωm with the biggest grain size of 3 µm, which is ascribed to low grain boundary density. The superior properties of hardness and electrical resistivity demonstrate that WB2 should be a new functional hard material replacing WC which is widely used in industrial production.

AbstractThe objective of this study is to evaluate the high temperature behavior of γ TiAl-based alloy sheets containing AI2O3 particles, produced by a combination of vacuum induction melting, use of a CaO crucible, and direct sheet casting, over a wide temperature range. Alumina particles, having a tendency to coagulate during solidification of a TiAl ingot, are finely dispersed due to the disturbance of high frequency induction, and frozen without having enough time to grow in size by direct sheet casting. The TiAl sheet thus produced shows remarkable high temperature tensile strength which exceeds that of conventional ingots having the same composition and various different structures. This is determined to be attributable to the dispersion strengthening of finely dispersed AI2O3 particles whose diameter is from 100 to 500nm. Moreover, because of the small size of these alumina particles, the TiAl sheet does not show any significant retardation in high temperature ductility, which is often the case in conventional ceramic-reinforced intermetallic compound composites.

Biocompatible metallic materials used for surgical implants in human body should have superior mechanical properties, as: microhardness, wear resistance, tensile strength, elongation, fracture toughness, creep resistance etc. These results can be also obtained by strict setting and controlling of chemical composition, by adding chemical elements that lead at the improvement of the mentioned properties. In this paper has been presented experimental researches regarding the obtaining process of some biocompatible Co-Cr cast alloys, having different chemical compositions, using the method of vacuum induction melting (VIM). After the obtainment process, samples were characterised from microstructure and microhardness point of view.
