A textured Mg-Al-Zn alloy rolled plate was solution treated and aged at 320 oC for 2 h and 116 h, respectively. Afterwards, the three conditions were compressed at room temperature along the transverse direction to activate {110} twinning. Ageing treatments were observed to strengthen the alloy in relation to the solution-treated condition. This has been mainly attributed to the restricted lateral growth of twins in the presence of particles and thus to the additional stress required for twin growth. Accordingly, a slightly reduced twin volume fraction, but an increased number of smaller twins was observed after compression in the aged samples.

Orthorhombic Titanium

The grain sizes of two kinds of orthorhombic alloys, namely (O+B2) Ti-22Al-11Nb-2Mo -1Fe and (O+2) Ti-27.5Al-13Nb have been successfully reduced by the addition of trace boron (B) (less than 0.12 wt.%). For example, the grain size in the B2 solution-treated condition was reduced from 1 mm to 80 m by the addition of 0.05% B for both alloys. The tensile elongation of Ti-22Al-11Nb-2Mo-1Fe at room temperature and 650C was increased from 0.3% to 4.3%, and from 8.2% to 30.3%, respectively, by the addition of 0.10% B. Ti-27.5Al-13Nb also showed an improved room temperature ductility by the minor B addition.

Fast Increase

Two Aluminium alloys, type AA5182 and AA5182+1.2wt% Cu, have been studied. The second alloy in solution treated condition is 18% stronger than the first one. During ageing at 150°C or 200°C it shows a characteristic fast increase in yield strength during the first minutes of ageing, followed by a 'plateau'. Both materials have been deformed in an ECAP die (4 and 8 passes) at 200°C and the microstructure, hardness and mechanical properties in compression at room temperature have been investigated. Although in none of the two materials a true sub-micron grain size was obtained at 200°C, a fair combination of strength and strain hardening was observed. The AA5182+Cu alloy, when ECAP’ed after a solution treatment and quenching, shows an increase in strength of about 20% compared to the AA5182 reference alloy. A post-ECAP annealing at 200°C does not lead to a further increase in hardness or strength. An analysis of the substructure and the mechanical properties during ECAP led to the conclusion that the precipitates formed during ECAP at 200°C do not directly contribute to the higher strength of alloy AA5182+Cu, but they contribute indirectly by slowing down the recovery.

The development of new low-cost alloys composed of common elements that show high biocompatibility and mechanical properties matching with human bone is the target of many researches recently. Design and controlling the mechanical properties of newly developed set of Ti-xFe-3Zr-yNb (x=3-8 & y=2-3, at.%) low-cost alloys through applying different thermomechanical treatments is the aim of this work. Fe-content in the present designed alloys is changing in the range 3 to 8 at.%. The hardness and Young's modulus of the alloys were measured for the alloys in the solution treated, hot rolled and subsequent ageing at 400 °C and 550 °C. The phases separation and hence hardness of the aged alloys at 400 °C and 550 °C are highly dependent on the Fe-content in the alloy. The Young's modulus of the alloys is also changing with the Fe-content and heat treatment, where lowest modulus (~80GPa) is shown in the Ti-5Fe-3Zr-3Nb alloy in the solution treated condition.

Α Phase

The Ti compressor disks of aviation jet engines are produced by forging. Their microstructure, which depends on the forging conditions, strongly affects their mechanical properties. In this study, changes in the microstructure of Ti-17 alloy as a result of different solution-treatment (ST) temperatures and the related tensile yield strengths were investigated to elucidate the correlation between the ST temperature, microstructure, and yield strength. Ti-17 alloys ingots were isothermally forged at 800 °C and solution-treated at 750, 800, and 850 °C. The microstructure and yield strength were investigated for samples subjected to different ST temperatures. The primary α phase formed during the ST, and the secondary α phase formed during the aging treatment at 620 °C. The yield strength increased with increasing volume fraction of the primary α phase and increased further upon formation of the secondary α phase during the tensile test at room temperature. The correlation of the primary and secondary α phases with yield strength was clarified for tensile properties at room temperature, 450, and 600 °C. An equation to predict the yield strength was constructed using the volume fraction of the primary and secondary α phases.

Precipitation hardening provides one of the most common strengthening mechanisms for magnesium (Mg) alloys. Here, we report a new precipitation-hardenable Mg sheet alloy based on the magnesium–silver–calcium system. In a solution treated condition (T4), the strength of Mg–xAg–0.1Ca alloys is enhanced with increasing the Ag content from 1.5 wt.% to 12 wt.%. The Mg–12Ag–0.1Ca (wt.%) alloy sheet shows moderate tensile yield strengths of 193 MPa, 130 MPa, 117 MPa along the rolling direction (RD), 45° and transverse direction (TD) in the T4-treated condition. Subsequent artificial aging at 170 °C for 336 h (T6) increases the tensile yield strengths to 236 MPa, 163 MPa and 143 MPa along the RD, 45° and TD, respectively. This improvement in the tensile yield strength by the T6 treatment can be ascribed to the formation of AgMg4 precipitates lying on the {112¯0}ɑ and pyramidal planes. Our finding is expected to stimulate the development of precipitation-hardenable Mg–Ag-based wrought alloys with high strength.
