The changes of the microstructure and mechanical properties of T23 steel were investigated during high temperature aging at 625 °C up to 3000 h. The results showed that the bainitic lath microstructure first decreased and then totally disappeared with the increase of aging time, the size of the carbides gradually increased and the recovery occurred after aging for 1000 h. The contents of W, Mo elements in the matrix after aging for 3000 h were remarkably decreased by 27.6% and 45% compared with the as-received state. However, no M6C carbides formed in spite of the obvious desolution transformation of W, Mo. Both the yield strength and the tensile strength at room and high temperature were decreased with the increase of aging time at 625 °C, and the tensile strength at high temperature after aging for 3000 h exhibited the largest of decline compared with the as-received state. The main reasons for the decrease of the mechanical properties related to the microstructure variations, such as the size increase of the M23C6 carbides, the dissolution of the bainite lath microstructure and the occurrence of the recovery. Meanwhile, the desolution of W, Mo elements plays an important role in the decrease of the mechanical properties.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Er-Zr alloys were characterized in detail. The grain size of as-cast Mg-Zn-Er-Zr alloy was greatly decreased by the Mg-Zn-Er phases formed at grain boundaries. The addition of Er can increase the yield strength (YS) but decrease the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation of as-cast Mg-Zn-Zr alloy. The thermally stable Mg-Zn-Er phases were just partially dissolved into the matrix during solution treatment. And the addition of Er can prolong the precipitation process of Mg-Zn-Zr alloy. Solution-plus-ageing treatment can increase the strength of both the Mg-Zn-Zr and Mg-Zn-Er-Zr alloys, but the strengthening effect of Mg-Zn-Er-Zr alloy was greatly weakened, for the incompletely solution of Mg-Zn-Er phases. Er can greatly enhance the high temperature elongation of Mg-Zn-Zr alloy, but the increase of high temperature tensile strength was just a little.

The Mg-6Zn-2Si alloy was processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for 4 passes and 8 passes at 573K, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy before and after ECAP were studied. The results show that Chinese script type interphase of Mg2Si was crushed into dispersed particles, and significant grain refinement was also introduced to the matrix phase (α-Mg) and Mg51Zn20 phase after 4 passes of ECAP. The yield strength was increased by 180%, elongation by 140% and tensile strength by 75%. The microstructure and mechanical properties remained reasonably constant between 4 and 8 passes of ECAP. The mechanism of improvement on microstructure and mechanical properties of the experimental alloy by subjecting ECAP was also investigated.

AbstractIn this study, the short-term aging was carried out to reveal the evolution of precipitates and mechanical properties of heat resistant 9CrMoCoB steel during the early creep, replacing the conventional creeping. The tempered martensite lath structure (TMLS) and precipitates were observed in the as-aged 9CrMoCoB steel. TMLS in the matrix underwent a transition to the polygonal ferrite after aging only for 300 h. In comparison, the mean diameter of the precipitates increased from 183 to 267 nm after aging at 650 °C for 300 h. Also, the mean diameter of the precipitates increased from 183 to 302 nm at 700 °C. The room-temperature and high-temperature strength of 9CrMoCoB steel decreased after high-temperature aging, which may be mainly due to precipitates coarsening. Many M23C6 phases precipitate in the prior austenite grain boundary (PAGB) and lath boundary. After aging 100 h, TMLS transformed into polygonal ferrite, and the size of the precipitate at the subgrain boundary was about 100 nm, while after 300 h of high-temperature aging, large precipitates appear (400 nm) in the matrix. After 200 h of high-temperature aging, the obvious growth of precipitates on the PAGB and lath boundary weakens the pinning effect on the PAGB and martensite lath boundary and accelerates the transformation of microstructure and mechanical properties.

Cyclic channel die compression (CCDC) of AZ31-1.7 wt.% Si alloy was performed up to 5 passes at 623 K in order to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of compressed alloys. The results show that multi-pass CCDC is very effective to refine the matrix grain and Mg2Si phases. After the alloy is processed for 5 passes, the mean grain size decreases from 300 μm of as-cast to 8 μm. Both dendritic and Chinese script type Mg2Si phases break into small polygonal pieces and distribute uniformly in the matrix. The tensile strength increases prominently from 118 MPa to 216 MPa, whereas the hardness of alloy deformed 5 passes only increase by 8.4% compared with as-cast state.

In this study, graphene-oxide (GO)-reinforced Ti–Al–Sn–Zr–Mo–Nb–Si high-temperature titanium-alloy-matrix composites were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The mixed powders with well-dispersed GO sheets were obtained by temperature-controlled solution mixing, in which GO sheets adsorb on the surface of titanium alloy particles. Vacuum deoxygenating was applied to remove the oxygen-containing groups in GO, in order to reduce the introduction of oxygen. The compact composites with refined equiaxed and lamellar α phase structures were prepared by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The results show that in-situ TiC layers form on the surface of GO and GO promotes the precipitation of hexagonal (TiZr)6Si3 particles. The composites exhibit significant improvement in strength and microhardness. The room-temperature tensile strength, yield strength and microhardness of the composite added with 0.3 wt% GO are 9%, 15% and 27% higher than the matrix titanium alloy without GO, respectively, and the tensile strength and yield strength at 600 °C are 3% and 21% higher than the matrix alloy. The quantitative analysis indicates that the main strengthening mechanisms are load transfer strengthening, grain refinement and (TiZr)6Si3 second phase strengthening, which accounted for 48%, 30% and 16% of the improvement of room-temperature yield strength, respectively.

Bulky sample was made by using TIG wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology, in which Ф1.6 mm filler wire of in-situ TiB2/Al-Si composites was selected as deposition metal, following by T6 heat treatment. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the bulky sample before and after heat treatment were analyzed. Experimental results showed that the texture of the original samples parallel to the weld direction and perpendicular to the weld direction was similar consisting of columnar dendrites and equiaxed crystals. After T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the sample was increased to 115.85 HV from 62.83 HV, the yield strength of the sample was 273.33 MPa, the average tensile strength was 347.33 MPa, and the average elongation after fracture was 7.96%. Although pore defects existed in the fracture, yet the fracture of the sample was ductile fracture.
