We have proposed a new extrusion process functionally combined with torsion. Extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing is a very attractive technique for fabricating a rod-shape material with high strength and excellent workability. To improve the hardness, the aging treatment was performed with AZ91D magnesium alloy screw thread-rolled at room temperature using extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing. The distribution of hardness from the tip to center in as thread-rolled screw was modified to uniform distribution by the isothermal aging treatment at 423 K for 460.8 ks. The peak hardness was not depended on the working temperature and rotation speed during extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing. β-Mg17Al12 precipitates are obviously grown in as peak-aged condition comparing with as thread-rolled condition.

Extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing is a very attractive technique for fabricating a rod-shape material with fine grain and random texture. We have proposed a new screw form rolling process combined with preliminary extrusion-torsion simultaneous working. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property change of AZ91D magnesium alloy during extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing was examined through microstructure observation, X-ray diffraction analysis and micro-Vickers hardness measurement. By the addition of torsion, the crystal orientation of AZ91D magnesium alloy workpiece was drastically changed from basal crystalline orientation to the random orientation. Crystal grain occurred through the dynamic recrystallization and tended to coarsen with an increase of extrusion-torsion temperature. Grain refinement under 2 um was achieved at the lowest extrusion-torsion temperature of 523 K. M8 gauge AZ91D magnesium alloy screw was successfully formed at room temperature using the extrusion-twisted workpiece preliminary solution treating at 678 K for 345.6 ks. It was found that the extrusion-torsion temperature of 678 K must be selected to fabricate the good screw without any defects.

Aging temperature history has profound effect on the mechanical and corrosion behavior of 6061 Al/SiC composite. In order to understand the effect of aging on the corrosion resistance, the natural and artificial aging behavior of 15 vol. % 6061 Al-SiCP composites was studied using the aging treatment and the Brinell hardness measurements. The aging curves for the composite (T6 treated) were determined at various aging temperatures such as room temperature, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, and 240°C. According to the peak hardness variation with temperature profile, it is found that the composite is underaged at 140°C and 160°C. Peak aging takes place at 180°C. Overaging takes place at 200°C, 220°C, and 240°C. The natural aging characteristics of the composite (T4 treated) are also studied using the Brinell hardness measurements.

The development of an ultrafine grained carbon steel during repetitive shear deformation of side extrusion and the properties after heat treatment were investigated. Side extrusions were carried out at room temperature and the used material was 0.50% carbon steel. The repetitive side extrusions with a constant lateral pressure were carried out up to 3 passes without rotation. The specimens of these steels after 3 passes were annealed at a constant temperature of 600°C changing the treatment time. After side extrusion and heat treatment, the fatigue property was better than that of the as-received material.

The thixoforging process in which magazine plates of AZ91D magnesium alloy were thixoforged in semi-solid state using semi-solid billets prepared by common SIMA method and new SIMA method was investigated. The results show that the pressure has a great influence on the semi-solid billet’s ability to fill die’s cavity. When the pressure is 500KN, the semi-solid billet can’t fill the die’s cavity completely. When the pressure is 2000KN, the semi-solid billet can fill the die’s cavity completely. Room temperature mechanical properties, such as yield strength of 201.4MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 321.8MPa and elongation of 15.3%, can be obtained successfully when the technological parameters, including pressure of 200KN, die preheating temperature of 723K, holding for 20min at 818K, are satisfied. Comparing with common SIMA, mechanical properties of room temperature and high temperature at 373Kare enhanced heavily.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of AZ91D magnesium alloys which was processed by EX-ECAP at 473K were investigated in this study. Microstructural inspection showed that the EX-ECAP was effective in refine grain size of the alloy. Tensile testing at room temperature showed that the ductility, strength and hardness of the alloy have been significantly increased by EX-ECAP. The alloy exhibited excellent superplastic properties in the form of the maximum elongation of ~218% at 473K using an initial strain rate of 3×10-4s-1.

The effects of yttrium on the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ81 have been investigated by alloy preparation, microstructure analysis and tensile tests. The results show that proper content of yttrium addition can obviously refine the microstructure of magnesium alloy AZ81, reduce the amount of β-Mg17Al12 phase, lead to the precipitation of Al2Y phase and improve the mechanical properties. After solid solution and aging treatment, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy increase at first and then decrease with the increase of yttrium content, and reach the maxima at 2%Y. At room temperature, the maxima are 277MPa and 10.9% respectively. At 150 , the maxima are 220MPa and 12.4% respectively.

The wear resistances of AZ91D magnesium alloy with and without microarc oxidation (MAO) coating and Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy in artificial saliva were investigated at room temperature. The wear resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy in artificial saliva was significantly improved after microarc oxidation treatment. The volume loss of untreated AZ91D magnesium alloy sample was 20.95 times of that of AZ91D magnesium alloy with MAO coating, and that of Ti 6 Al 4 V was 5.42 times of that of MAO. Furthermore, the wear resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy was lower than that of Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy in artificial saliva. The wear mechanisms of AZ91D magnesium and Ti 6 Al 4 V were discussed. It was found that the wear mechanism of the MAO was associated with abrasion and microfracture. There were two dominative wear mechanisms for AZ91D alloy and Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy under the loading conditions used in the experiment, namely, micro-machining wear and deformation-induced wear.
