Abstract In this work, the phase composition (relative fractions of monoclinic m-ZrO2, tetragonal t-ZrO2, and cubic c-ZrO2 phases) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength) of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics, with an addition of silica were investigated. Calcium oxide was used as a stabilizer for the zirconia tetragonal phase. It was shown that CaO-ATZ+SiO2 ceramics demonstrate increased resistance to low-temperature degradation. The plasticity signs at room temperature were found due to the SiO2 addition to CaO-ATZ ceramics. A yield plateau appears in the uniaxial compression diagram at 5 mol. % SiO2 concentration. It is hypothesized that discovered plasticity is due to the increased t→m transformability.

Two alloys of steel containing nominally 0.45C-1.0Si-2.0Mn-0.8Al and 1.2Al were cast in open air induction furnace. Dilatation testing was carried out to recognize the effect on Aluminum on the different critically transformation temperatures. The alloys were hot forged at 1200°C and then subjected to different cooling rates. Mechanical testing was carried out at room temperature. Optical and SEM microstructure were observed. X-ray diffraction was conducted to observe the microstructure constituents.

Intermetallide alloys based on the Al2Ti compound are the most promising heat-resistant materials for future energy plants.The review examines the mechanical properties of the Al2Ti Intermetalide, two-phase alloys based on it and the doped niobium alloy. For use at temperatures of up to 950 °С, alloys with phase composition r-Al2Ti + γ-TiAl and platemicrostructure with additional doping of refractory elements are of interest.

The microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties during heat treatment and rolling of the novel Al-5.0Cu-3.2Er-0.9Mn-0.3Zr alloy were evaluated. A new quaternary (Al,Cu,Mn,Er) phase with possible composition Al25Cu4Mn2Er was found in the as-cast alloy. Al20Cu2Mn3 and Al3(Zr,Er) phases were nucleated during homogenization, and θ″(Al2Cu) precipitates were nucleated during aging. The metastable disc shaped θ″(Al2Cu) precipitates with a thickness of 5 nm and diameter of 100–200 nm were nucleated mostly on the Al3(Zr,Er) phase precipitates with a diameter of 35 nm. The hardness Vickers (HV) peak was found after the annealing of a rolled alloy at 150 °C due to strengthening by θ″(A2Cu) precipitates, which have a larger effect in materials hardness than do the softening processes. The novel Al-Cu-Er-Mn-Zr alloy has a yield strength (YS) of 320–332 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 360–370 MPa, and an El. of 3.2–4.0% in the annealed alloy after rolling condition.

High boron alloyed stainless steel(HBASS) with different Ti content were fabricated by vacuum induction furnace and their microstructure and boride phase were analyzed. The boride phase of HBASS do not contain Ti element is mainly (Fe,Cr)2B phase with slender rod-shape. After adding Ti into steel, because Ti and B preferentially combines into TiB2 phase with petals or small block shape which can stop the formation of hard and brittle (Fe,Cr)2B, so the number of (Fe,Cr)2B phase is reduced. And after adding Ti, many crisscross cracks appeared in internal large (Fe,Cr)2B phase, which will be effective to break into small pieces of boride to improve steel plasticity and shielding thermal neutron performance during hot rolling process.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to identify key microstructural parameters which control the mechanical properties of two-phase γ-TiAl alloys with lamellar structures. TiAl alloys with the base composition of Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb (at. %) were prepared by arc melting and drop casting, followed by hot extrusion at temperatures above the oc-transus temperature, Tα. The hot extruded materials were then heat treated at various temperatures above and below Tα in order to control microstructural features in these lamellar structures. The mechanical properties of these alloys were determined by tensile testing at temperatures to 1000° C. The tensile elongation at room temperature is strongly dependent on grain size, showing an increase in ductility with decreasing grain size. The strength at room and elevated temperatures is sensitive to interlamellar spacing, showing an increase in strength with decreasing lamellar spacing. Hall-Petch relationships hold well for the yield strength at room and elevated temperatures and for the tensile elongation at room temperature. Tensile elongations of about 5% and yield strengths around 900 MPa are achieved by controlling both colony size and interlamellar spacing. The mechanical properties of the TiAl alloys with controlled lamellar structures produced directly by hot extrusion are much superior to those produced by conventional thermomechanical treatments.

ABSTRACTMultiphase Mo silicide alloys containing T2 (Mo5SiB2), Mo3Si and Mo phases were prepared by both melting & casting (M&C) and powder metallurgical (PM) processes. Glassy phases are observed in PM materials but not in M&C materials. Microstructural studies indicate that the primary phase is Mo-rich solid solution in alloys containing ≤(9.4Si+13.8B, at. %) and T2 in alloys with ≥(9.8Si+14.6B). An eutectic composition is estimated to be close to Mo–9.6Si–14.2B. The mechanical properties of multiphase silicide alloys were determined by hardness, tensile and bending tests at room temperature. The multiphase alloy MSB-18 (Mo–9.4Si–13.8B) possesses a flexure strength distinctly higher than that of MoSi2 and other Mo5Si3 silicide alloys containing no Mo particles. Also, MSB-18 is tougher than MoSi2 by a factor of 4.

MgO-Al2O3-TiO2 composite refractories were prepared by using magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) and titanium dioxide as main starting materials and being sintered at high temperature. The influences of titanium dioxide additions on the room temperature physical properties, phase composition and microstructure were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure were tested by means of XRD and SEM. The results revealed that with increasing TiO2 content, the densification of the composites first increased sand then decreased and maximized at 4% TiO2 loading. This showed appropriate amount of TiO2 could contribute to the sintering of the composites due to the solid solution of TiO2 in magnesium aluminate spinel.

A series of as-cast lightweight multicomponent alloys Al(86-x)Mg10Zn2 Cu2 Six (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 at.%) were prepared by a vacuum induction furnace with a steel die. With the addition of Si, the reticular white Al-Cu phase deposited were gradually replaced by the gray eutectic Mg-Si phase, while the compressive strength of the alloys increases first and then decreases slowly. It is particularly noteworthy that the compression plasticity also exhibits this trend. When the Si content is 0.9 at.%, the compressive strength reaches its maximum at 779.11 MPa and the compressive plasticity reaches 20.91%. The effect of the addition of Si on the serration behavior of alloy was also studied; we found that the addition of Si introduces a new MgSi phase, and with the change of Si is significantly affects the morphology of the precipitated phase, which affects the serration behavior of the alloys. The comprehensive mechanical properties of the alloy are optimal at the critical point where the serration behavior disappears.In this work, we have provided a method and a composition for the preparation of a low-cost, high-strength, lightweight medium-entropy alloys.
