Thermal stability of substructures in 6000 series aluminum alloys containing Mn and Zr elements was investigated using plane-strain compression test. In order to form thermally stabilized substructures, the deformation parameters should be selected so as to correlate with kinetic precipitation during the deformation. For substructures of the alloys containing Mn and Zr elements, the substructures were stable during the heat treatment at 540 ̊C when the alloys were deformed at a temperature above 350 ̊C. The sheets rolled above 350 ̊C at a strain rate of under 3 s-1 per pass showed the fibrous structure and well developed β-fiber textures after the heat treatment at 540 ̊C. The sheets with the fibrous structure had an average Lankford value larger than one.

Low alloyed steels produced by continuous casting are thermomechanically treated to achieve final high mechanical properties, meaning a good combination of strength and toughness. The hot deformation mechanisms of a micro-alloyed steel containing up to 0.1wt% of V is studied by means of hot compression tests using a Gleeble®3800 device. Austenitization of samples is carried out at 1150°C during 2 minutes followed by cooling to the deformation temperature at 1Ks-1in the range of 750 – 1150°C. The studied strain rate range is from 0.01 to 80 s-1and the total true strain achieved is of 0.7. In situ water quenching is applied after the deformation to freeze the microstructure and avoid any post dynamic effect. The Ar3temperature is determined by dilatometry experiments to be 725°C for the used cooling rate. The stress values obtained from the compression tests are evaluated at different strains to determine the strain rate sensitivity and flow instability maps and thus, to predict the formability of the material in the range of studied deformation parameters. These maps are correlated to the microstructure at specific deformation parameters.

In this work, the effect of pre-strain cold rolling on thermal stability of friction-stir welded AA6061-T6 alloy was studied. The pre-strain rolling was found to be very effective in suppression of abnormal grain growth during standard post-weld T6 heat treatment. It was also shown that the efficiency of this approach essentially depends on rolling path and the rolling along welding direction was the most effective rolling schedule.

The synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe, Fe–4 wt% Al, and Fe–10 wt% Al solid solutions by SPEX ball milling has been studied. The microstructural evolution during ball milling, as well as subsequent heat treatment, has been characterized. The results demonstrate that ball milling promotes the formation of αFe–4 wt% Al and αFe–10 wt% Al solid solutions by reducing the activation energy of these alloys and generating thermal energy during this process. For Fe–10 wt% Al powders milled for various time intervals up to approximately 20 min, the FeAl intermetallic compound is formed. For alloys annealed at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 °C, the addition of 10 wt% Al to Fe significantly enhances the thermal stability of the nanocrystalline Fe–Al alloys. Interestingly, the addition of Al within the range of 4–10 wt% seems to have little effect on the thermal stability of these alloys annealed under the same conditions. Also, the thermal stability improves for alloys milled in air as opposed to those processed using Ar.

The present work investigates the influence of Pr, Al, Cu, B and Ho which were introduced into the Co-containing sintered magnets of Nd-Dy-Tb-Fe-Co-B type on the magnetic parameters (α, Hci, Br, BHmax⁡). The effect of heat treatment parameters on magnetic properties was also studied. It was revealed that the essential alloying of NdFeB magnets by such elements as Dy, Tb, Ho, Co as well as by boron-forming elements, for example, by titanium, may lead to reducing of F-phase quantity, and, as a consequence, to decreasing of magnetic parameters. It was also shown that additional doping of such alloys by Pr, B, Al and Cu leads to a significant increase of the quantity of F-phase in magnets as well as solubility of the Dy, Tb, Ho and Co in it. This promotes the increase of magnetic parameters. It was possible to attain the following properties for the magnets (Nd0,15Pr0,35Tb0,25Ho0,25)15(Fe0,71Co0,29)bal ⋅ Al0,9Cu0,1B8,5 (at. %) after optimal thermal treatment {1175 K (3,6–7,2 ks) with slow (12–16 ks) cooling to 675 K and subsequently remaining at T=775 K for 3,6 ks—hardening}: Br=0,88 T, Hci=1760 kA/m, BHmax⁡=144 kJ/m3, α<|0,01|%/K in the temperature interval 223–323 K.

Thermal stability, determining the material ability of retaining its properties at required temperatures over extended service time, is becoming the next frontier for aluminum alloys. Its improvement would substantially expand their range of structural applications, especially in automotive and aerospace industries. This report explains the fundamentals of thermal stability; definitions, the properties involved; and the deterioration indicators during thermal/thermomechanical exposures, including an impact of accidental fire, and testing techniques. For individual classes of alloys, efforts aimed at identifying factors stabilizing their microstructure at service temperatures are described. Particular attention is paid to attempts of increasing the current upper service limit of high-temperature grades. In addition to alloying aluminum with a variety of elements to create the thermally stable microstructure, in particular, transition and rare-earth metals, parallel efforts are explored through applying novel routes of alloy processing, such as rapid solidification, powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing, engineering alloys in a liquid state prior to casting, and post-casting treatments. The goal is to overcome the present barriers and to develop novel aluminum alloys with superior properties that are stable across the temperature and time space, required by modern designs.

Abstract Acidic aluminum sulfate hydrolysis solutions can be used to catalyze the thermal degradation of wood in a mild temperature environment, and thus reduce the temperature required for heat treatment process. To improve the dimensional and thermal stability of Chinese fir during heat treatment at 120 °C, 140 °C and 160 °C, this study investigated the effects of soaking pretreatment with 5%, 10% and 15% aluminum sulfate on the chemical and structural changes of the heat-treated Chinese fir. The results indicated that the samples treated at 15% aluminum sulfate concentration and 160 °C heat treatment achieved the best dimensional and thermal stability. Chemical analyses by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the catalysis of aluminum sulfate resulted in degradation of hemicelluloses during the heat treatment, and an increase in the soaking concentration and heat treatment temperature also affected the thermal degradation of celluloses. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and mass changes test results proved that the hydrolyzed aluminum flocs mainly adhered to the inner wall of the wood tracheid as spherical precipitates, and when the soaking concentration reached 10% and 15%, a uniform soaking effect could be achieved. The thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed the soaking pretreatment effectively improved the thermal stability of the heat-treated wood by physically wrapping and promoting the formation of a carbon layer on the wood surface during heat treatment. Thus, aluminum sulfate soaking pretreatment exerted a great effect on the dimensional and thermal stability of wood, allowing heat treatment to be performed at a lower temperature.

Molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations were used to explore the thermal stability of Au nanoparticles (NPs) with decahedral, cuboctahedral, icosahedral and Marks NPs. According to the calculated cohesive energy and melting temperature, the Marks NPs have a higher cohesive energy and melting temperature compared to these other shapes. The Lindemann index, radial distribution function, deformation parameters, mean square displacement and self-diffusivity have been used to characterize the structure variation during heating. This work may inspire researchers to prepare Marks NPs and apply them in different fields.

ABSTRACTMicrostructure and thermal stability of ZrN/ZrB2 bilayer deposited on GaN have been studied using transmission electron microscopy methods (TEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). It has been demonstrated that annealing of the contact structure at 1100°C in N2 atmosphere does not lead to any observable metal/semiconductor interaction. In contrast, a failure of the integrity of ZrN/ZrB2 metallization at 800°C, when the heat treatment is performed in O2 ambient has been observed.
