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 effects of different duplex annealing treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti62421S alloy plate were studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and tensile tests, The experimental results indicated that the original microstructure of Ti62421S was composed of primary α phase (αp) and intergranular β phase. With the increase of first-stage annealing temperature, the volume fraction of equiaxed αp phase decreased. In contrast, the content of transformed β structure (βt) increased, and the width of lamellar secondary α phase (αs) in βt increased. Consequently, the yield strength (σ0.2) and ultimate tensile strength (σb) at room temperature and 600°C increased, while the elongation (δ5) declined. After 1000°C/2h/AC+ 600°C/2h/AC duplex annealing treatment, Ti62421S alloy plate showed superior tensile properties. The values of σb and δ5 at room temperature reached 1133MPa and 6%, as well as the value of σb at 600°C exceeded 710MPa.

In this study, Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy was synthesized by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile tests. It can be seen that the microstructure of spray-deposited Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy is composed of the Zn/Al eutectoids and few compounds. The Zn/Al eutectoids were shown lamellar, particle and Chinese script morphologies. The compound phases in the microstructure of the spray-deposited alloy were examined. The property test results indicate that the spray-deposited Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy displays superior tensile strength.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to study the microstructure and mechanical behavior of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy after tensile test at 125°C, 150°C, 175°C and 200 °C, respectively. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength decreased with the increase of temperature, while the elongation increased firstly and then decreased. The S and S′ precipitate after tension at elevated temperatures. When the temperature was higher than 175°C, the precipitate coarsens rapidly. The alloys displayed a shear fracture features at elevated temperature. The larger S′ and S phase coarsened and dropped which forming crack in the grain boundaries and precipitate interfaces, resulting in the decrease of the elongation of the alloy.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of solid solution temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy after T6 heat treatment was investigated. Following solid solution at five different temperatures for 2 hours, the AA7075 alloy was quenched and then artificially aged at 120∘C for 24 hours. Hardness measurements, microstructure examinations (SEM+EDS, XRD) and tensile tests were carried out for the alloys. The results showed that the increased solid solution temperature led to formation of precipitates in the microstructures and thus caused higher hardness and tensile strength.

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.

This study focuses on the high temperature characteristics of thermo-mechanically processed AA7075 alloy. An integrated die forming process that combines solution heat treatment and hot forming at different temperatures was employed to process the AA7075 alloy. Low die temperature resulted in the fabrication of parts with higher strength, similar to that of T6 condition, while forming this alloy in the hot die led to the fabrication of more ductile parts. Isothermal uniaxial tensile tests in the temperature range of 200–400 °C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001–0.1 s−1 were performed on the as-received material, and on both the solution heat-treated and the thermo-mechanically processed parts to explore the impacts of deformation parameters on the mechanical behavior at elevated temperatures. Flow stress levels of AA7075 alloy in all processing states were shown to be strongly temperature- and strain-rate dependent. Results imply that thermo-mechanical parameters are very influential on the mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy formed at elevated temperatures. Microstructural studies were conducted by utilizing optical microscopy and a scanning electron microscope to reveal the dominant softening mechanism and the level of grain growth at elevated temperatures.

The effects of annealing temperature on microstructure, mechanical properties, formability, and texture evolution were analyzed in the article. The microstructure of the steel obtained through different annealing processes were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy; The micro texture of steel was measured by using electron back scattering diffraction analysis; The relationship between Cu precipitates and matrix was analyzed by using the selected area diffraction technology. The results show that when annealing temperature was 700 ~ 850 °C, the yield strength and tensile strength first decreased slightly and then increased, while the elongation accordingly first increased then decreased slightly. The best mechanical property and formability were obtained at 800 °C. Cu precipitates reduced with the increase of annealing temperature and it accorded with K - S relationship with matrix. The grains near the {111} < 112 > orientation grew up selectively. The higher the temperature, the more the γ fiber texture content. But at higher temperature (850 °C), γ texture was damaged and the content was reduced.

The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the number of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) passes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy. The microstructure after two and four passes of ECAP at 423 and 523 K was investigated by means of optical and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical properties were carried out using Vickers microhardness measurements and compression test. The grain refinement in AZ31 alloy was obtained using ECAP routes down to 1,5 μm at 423 K. Processes of dynamic recrystallization during ECAP were observed. It was found that a gradual decrease of grain size occurs with the increasing of number of ECAP passes. The grain refinement increases mechanical properties at ambient temperature, such as Vickers microhardness and compression strength proportionally to d-0.5.

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.

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.
