The widely adopted temperature for solid solution heat treatment (ST) for the conventionally fabricated Inconel 718 is 1100 °C for a hold time of 1 h or less. This ST scheme is, however, not enough to dissolve Laves and annihilate dislocations completely in samples fabricated with Laser metal powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing (AM)-Inconel 718. Despite this, the highest hardness obtained after aging for ST temperatures (970–1250 °C) is at 1100 °C/1 as we have ascertained in our previous studies. The unreleased residual stresses in the retained lattice defects potentially affect other properties of the material. Hence, this work aims to investigate if a longer hold time of ST at 1100 °C will lead to complete recrystallization while maintaining the hardness after aging or not. For this study, L-PBF-Inconel 718 samples were ST at 1100 °C at various hold times (1, 3, 6, 9, 16, or 24 h) and aged to study the effects on microstructure and hardness. In addition, a sample was directly aged to study the effects of bypassing ST. The samples (ST and aged) gain hardness by 43–49%. The high density of annealing twins evolved during 3 h of ST and only slightly varies for longer ST.

The coherent fine-lamellae consisting of the 2H-Mg and the 14H-type long period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure within α'-Mg matrix have been observed in an as-cast Mg–Gd–Zn–Zr alloy. During subsequent solid solution heat treatment at 773 K, in addition to the lamellae within matrix, a novel lamellar X phase [Mg–(8.37±1.0)Zn–(11.32±1.0)Gd] with the 14H-type LPSO structure was transformed from the dendritical β phase. The 14H-type LPSO structure existing in Mg–Gd–Zn–Zr alloys derives from two variant ways: formation of the 14H-type LPSO structure comes from two variant means: i.e., the formation within matrix and the phase transformation from the β phase to the X phase in grain boundaries.

AbstractThe influence of cooling rate after homogenization on the 2017A alloy microstructure was analysed. The capability of the θ (Al2Cu) particles, precipitated during various homogenization coolings, for rapid dissolution was estimated. For this purpose, the DSC test was used to determine the effect of the cooling rate after homogenization on the course of melting during a rapid heating. Moreover, the samples after solution heat treatment (with short time annealing) and ageing, were subjected to the microstructure investigations and the microhardness of grains interiors measurements. It was found that cooling after homogenization at 160 °C/h is sufficient for precipitation of fine θ phase particles, which dissolve during the subsequent rapid heating. The cooling at 40 °C/h, causes the precipitation of θ phase in the form of large particles, incapable of further fast dissolution.

The coherent fine lamellae consisting of the 2H-Mg and the 14H-type long period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure within α′-Mg matrix have been first observed in an as-cast Mg96.32Gd2.5Zn1Zr0.18 alloy. During subsequent solid solution heat treatment at 698–813 K, in addition to the lamellae within matrix, a novel lamellar X phase (Mg–8.37±1.0Zn–11.32±1.0Gd, at.%) with the 14H-type LPSO structure was transformed from the dendritical β phase, and a corresponding time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagram was established. The 14H-type LPSO structure existing in Mg–Gd–Zn–Zr alloys derives from two variant means: the formation of LPSO structure within α′-Mg matrix and the transformation of the dendritical β phase to a lamellar X phase with the LPSO structure. The alloy solid solution treated at 773 K for 35 h exhibits higher tensile strength and better elongation than the nonheated alloy because of the lamellar X phase with the 14H-type LPSO structure and the 14H-type LPSO structure within matrix.

Phase transformations in 6XXX alloys with Mn, Cu and Cr additions have been studied in the process of homogenization annealing at different temperatures. The continuous cooling transformation diagrams of decomposition of solid solution during the cooling of ingots from the homogenization temperature have been plotted. The effect of the cooling rate after homogenization on the properties of ingots during extrusion has been studied.

The paper presents the results of DSC and microstructural investigations of Elektron 21 magnesium alloy in as cast condition and after solution hardening. Elektron 21 is a magnesium based casting alloy containing neodymium and gadolinium for used to at 200°C in aerospace application. The solution heat treatment was performed at 520°C/8h/water. Ageing treatment was performed at different temperatures 200, 250, 300 and 350°C, then quenched in air. The microstructure of Elektron 21 in as cast condition consists of primary solid solution α -Mg grains with eutectic α-Mg + Mg3(Nd,Gd) phase and regular precipitates of MgGd3 phase. After DSC investigations three exothermal signals has been observed. First exothermal signal at ~170÷245°C assigned to an undifferentiated formation of the metastable phases β” and β’ and the second one at ~280°C corresponded to the formation of a stable β (Mg3Nd) phase. The last signal at ~300°C was connected to the formation of Mg41Nd5 phase. Regular precipitates of MgGd3 phase have been also observed. TEM investigation confirmed that the Elektron 21 alloy precipitate from the solid solution according to the sequence of the following phases: α–Mgβ”β’β(Mg3Nd)Mg41Nd5
