Ti-β21S is a β-metastable titanium alloy, currently used in industries such as aeronautics, because of its cold formability, good mechanical properties at elevated temperature, low density and its strong resistance to oxidation. This alloy is hardened by an α-phase precipitation in the β-matrix. The purpose of the present research is to establish the effect of aging on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-β21S. Different thermal aging tests have been carried out at 600°C and at 650°C for 500 hours in laboratory air. The evolution of the microstructure has been reported after each thermal treatment and associated with room temperature tensile tests results.

New Type

A new type of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si series high temperature titanium alloy was prepared by a water-cooled copper crucible vacuum induction melting method, and its phase transition point was determined by differential thermal analysis to be Tβ = 1017 °C. The influences of solution temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-forged high temperature titanium alloy were studied. XRD results illustrated that the phase composition of the alloy after different heat treatments was mainly α phase and β phase. The microstructures showed that with the increase of the solution temperature, the content of the primary α phase gradually reduced, the β transformation structure increased by degrees, then, the number and size of secondary α phase increased obviously. The tensile results at room temperature (RT) illustrated that as the solution temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually increased, and the plasticity decreased slightly. The results of tensile test at 650 °C illustrated that the strength of the alloy enhanced with the increase of solution temperature, the plasticity decreased first and then increased, when the solution temperature increased to 1000 °C, the alloy had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, the tensile strength reached 714.01 MPa and the elongation was 8.48 %. Based on the room temperature and high temperature properties of the alloy, the best heat treatment process is finally determined as: 1000 °C/1 h/AC+650 °C/6 h/AC.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The Ti-6.5Al-2Sn-4Zr-1.5Mo-2Nb-0.25Fe-0.2Si (wt%) alloy is a novel two-phase high temperature alloy for short-term application. The effects of different heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated through electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), optical microcopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and tensile tests at room temperature and 650°C. Subjected to the annealing treatment at α+β region (1010 °C/2 h, FC to 990 °C+990 °C/2 h, AC), the microstructure was composed of bimodal structure, which consists of equiaxed primary α (αp) phase and lamellar transformed β (βt) structure. As a strong β stabilizer, the content of Fe in α phase is much less than that in β phase. Annealing at β region (1040 °C/2 h, AC) resulted in the formation of widmannstatten structure, consisting of coarse raw β grain and secondary α phase precipitated on the β grain. With respect to the tensile property, different heat-treated alloys obtained similar strength. However, widmannstatten structure was characterized by lower plasticity, with the elongation only half that of bimodal structure. The fracture characteristics at room temperature for the alloy with bimodal structure and widmannstatten structure are dominated by ductile fracture and cleavage fracture, respectively.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties and forming capabilities of magnesium ZE10. Mechanical properties are observed by stress strain diagram. Three types of the samples are used which are machined from thin sheets of 0.8mm thickness in 00, 450, 900 of the rolling direction (RD). The samples are then tested at different temperatures varying from room temperature (RT) to 400°C. The factors that are considered in tensile tests are Youngs modulus, Yield strength, Ultimate tensile strength and fracture strain. The later part of this paper is devoted to deep drawing tests in which specimen are drawn from room temperature to 250°C. In these tests variation of Limit Drawing Ratio (LDR) is investigated at different temperatures. The other parameters observed are drawing depth, punch force, blank holder force and their variation from room temperature to elevated temperature.

Forming Characteristics

In this study, the effect of initial annealing microstructure of Ti–4Al–2V (TA17) alloy on forming characteristic was studied, so as to provide a basis for quality control of plastic forming of titanium alloy parts. The titanium alloy always undergoes annealing treatment before forming, due to different microstructures present different mechanical properties. The TA17 with different microstructures are obtained by means of various annealing treatment temperatures. The tensile behavior of TA17 is investigated at room temperature and 900 °C under constant strain rate of 0.01 s−1. The experimental results show that the mechanical properties of TA17 are sensitive to the initial microstructure before deformation. The microstructure of TA17 at 850 °C (2 h) is the equiaxed primary α-phase after the annealing process. It exhibits good plasticity at room temperature. This phenomenon is also confirmed from fracture morphology from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. At 900 °C, which is a high tensile temperature, the alloy with equiaxed primary α-phase performs outstanding plasticity compared with other microstructures. This work establishes a good understanding on the relationship between the mechanical properties and microstructures of TA17 at a wide temperature range.

Shear localization is the main deformation mode for the near beta titanium alloy Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-1Cr-1Fe loaded at high strain rates at either room temperature or cryogenic temperature. Nanoindentation, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution electron microscopy technique are applied to character the microstructure features and mechanical properties in the shear band of near beta titanium alloy. A white and straight band is observed in the shear region. Both microhardness and nanoindentaion hardness in the shear region are inferior to those in matrix. The different microstructure in the edge and the center in the shear band contribute to different mechanical properties. The plasticity of the entire shear band is almost homogenous when specimens are deformed at the cryogenic temperature. Rotational dynamic recrystallization is responsible for the formation of the ultrafine grains in the shear band. The edge of the shear band is composed of elongated grains, while there are ultrafine equiaxed grains in the center of the shear band. Deformation temperature has significant influence on the process of the grain refinement and the phase transformation in the shear band (SB). The grain sizes of the shear band in the specimen deformed at room temperature are larger than those in the specimens deformed at cryogenic temperature. The shear band consists of α phase grains in the specimen deformed at room temperature, and the shear band consists of α phase and lath-like α′ phase grains in the specimen deformed at cryogenic temperature. Finally, the mechanisms for phase transformation in the shear band are illustrated.

In this paper tensile properties at elevated temperature of extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy and the same alloy further processed by ECAP (exECAP) are compared. The tensile tests were performed at room temperature and for the temperature range of 100 to 300 °C. Loading speed 2 mm/min was used for the tests. At room temperature mechanical properties except elongation were slightly higher for extruded material yet still very similar to properties of exECAPed material. Overall trend of properties evolution with increasing temperature was also similar but the decrease of strength or the increase of elongation and reduction of area respectively is more intensive for exECAPed material. Elongation of exECAPed material exceeded elongation of extruded material more than twice at 300 °C and with value of ~260% this alloy exhibited pseudosuperplastic behavior.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

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.

AbstractStudies have been conducted of the mechanical properties of Fe3Al alloys containing 24 to 30 at.% Al, to which 0.5 wt% TiB2 was added for grain refinement. In tensile tests conducted at room temperature, it has been found that, as the aluminum content is increased, the yield strength decreases sharply from 760 to 310 MPa. The decrease in yield strength is accompanied by a four-fold increase in room-temperature ductility. Ordered iron aluminides (containing no disordered α phase) showed a clear increase in yield strength with temperature above 300°C. Their strength reached a maximum around 600°C, above which it decreased sharply. All these results will be discussed and correlated with stability of superlattice dislocations as a function of aluminum content.
