Change Of Microstructure

In this study, the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of rolled Mg-0.8 Zn-0.3 Gd-0.5 Ca sheets have been investigated. It is shown that the as-cast microstructure of the Mg-0.8 Zn-0.3 Gd-0.5 Ca alloy is composed of coarse grains with fine intermetallic particles. The deformed microstructure of the as-rolled sheets results in the non-basal texture with triple peaks. Upon annealing treatment at different temperatures, the fraction of recrystallized microstructure is increased and the grains grow up. With the increase of annealing temperature, the (0002) basal pole of as-rolled sheets has transformed into texture with double peaks firstly and then into triple peaks. Accompanying the change of microstructure and texture, structure and mechanical anisotropy of the rolled sheets is modified.

In this paper, three different double annealing treatments were applied on the 3mm-thick Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-1Mo-2Nb-0.2Si (Ti62421S) alloy plate. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile tests were used to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties under different temperatures of Ti62421S alloy. The results show that the content of primary α phase (αp) decreases while transformed β structure (βt) increases with the increasing first-stage annealing temperature. After double annealing treatment, ordered α2 phase particles precipitate within αp and the size increases with first annealing temperature. This leads to that with increasing first annealing temperature, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) at 600~650°C increases while elongation decreases. After 1000°C/1h/AC+ 750°C/2h/AC annealing, Ti62421S alloy plate exhibits superior combination of mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures.

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.

The mechanical anisotropy of wrought Mg alloys is very high. For example the yield stress of extruded Mg-3Al-1Zn tested in tension can be as high as twice that obtained in compression [1]. To solve the problems this creates for product design it is necessary to understand the sensitivity of texture to processing parameters. Uniaxial compression tests at different temperatures were performed on cylindrical samples of an extruded Mg-3Al-1Zn bar. The texture during this deformation changes from a situation where all crystal c-axes are nearly perpendicular to the sample axis to one where the c-axes are all nearly parallel to this axis. Compression was stopped at different strains to examine the rate of this texture change. Textures were examined using EBSD measurements. It was found that different mechanisms operate depending on the temperature of deformation and that a variety of textures can be created. Also it was seen that an annealing treatment performed after compression has an influence on the texture. Afterwards the samples were subjected to another uniaxial compression test to examine the influence of texture on room temperature properties.

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 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.

The effects of annealing temperature and annealing time on mechanical properties of cold drawn pearlitic steel wires containing 0.84wt% of silicon were investigated. Annealing treatment was performed on cold drawn steel wires for the temperature range of 200°C to 450°C with the different annealing time of 30sec, 1min, 15min and 1hr. The increase of tensile strength at the low annealing temperatures would be related with strain ageing behavior, while the decrease of tensile strength at the high annealing temperature is due to the spheroidization of cementite plates and the occurrence of recovery of the lamellar ferrite in the pearlite.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

In the present work, a Ti–26Nb alloy was elaborated in situ by laser additive manufacturing (LAM) with Ti and Nb mixed powders. The alloys were annealed at temperatures ranging from 650 °C to 925 °C, and the effects of the annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. It has been found that the microstructure of the as-deposited alloy obtained in the present conditions is characterized by columnar prior β grains with a relatively strong <001> fiber texture in the build direction. The as-deposited alloy exhibits extremely high strength, and its ultimate tensile strength and yield strength are about 799 MPa and 768 MPa, respectively. The annealing temperature has significant effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys. Annealing treatment can promote the dissolution of unmelted Nb particles and eliminate the micro-segregation of Nb at the elliptical-shaped grain boundaries, while increasing the grain size of the alloy. With an increase in annealing temperature, the strength of the alloy decreases but the ductility increases. The alloy annealed at 850 °C exhibits a balance of strength and ductility.

Strength And Ductility

Vacuum-sintered billets of Ti-6Al-4V alloy from powder blend were extruded at two different temperatures: 1150 °C and 950 °C. The extruded material at 1150 °C was subjected to various heat treatments to obtain different microstructures: annealing in the β phase, β solution treatment and aging and α+β solution treatment and aging. The materials processed were characterised using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and the mechanical properties were measured by tensile test. The microstructure of both extrusions are fairly similar, consisting of lamellar colonies, and the mechanical properties are also comparable, with yield strengths of about 1000 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of about 1100 MPa and elongation at fracture of 8-9%. The β annealing treatment, through coarsening the lamellar microstructure, reduces the strength of the alloy while keeping a high ductility. Both solution treatments and aging, which produces aged martensite and aged martensite and primary alpha, respectively, increases the strength and reduces the ductility. There is a trade-off between ductility and strength when it comes to tailoring the microstructure, and the as-extruded Ti-6Al-4V condition is the one with the best balance between strength and ductility.

Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) composite wires have been widely used in cable industry. Especially for the application in aerospace, the light weight character of wires is particularly important. To improve the mechanical properties of wires, Cu-Ni-Si alloy and Al-Mg-Si alloy are employed to replace pure copper and pure aluminum, respectively. The objective of this work is to find the appropriate annealing treatment conditions to produce the Cu-Ni-Si/Al-Mg-Si clad composite wires with optimal combination properties. The wires were fabricated by a drawing process and heat treatment at different temperatures and times. Mechanical and electrical properties dependent on outer Cu-Ni-Si, internal Al-Mg-Si and interface properties, are characterized and analyzed. The fracture behavior of Cu-Ni-Si/Al-Mg-Si clad composite wires was studied together with the stress-strain curves of the composite wires.
