The paper presents results of research on the influence of ageing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of T24 steel. The examined material was in the form of longitudinal samples taken from a pipe section (with the pipe size of 44.5x6.7 mm). The research is focused on degradation of the base material (T24 steel) where the steel samples, after initial heat treatment, were aged at the temperature of 580°C and time up to 6000hrs in a furnace with air atmosphere. This contribution summarizes the experimental results of mechanical and structural measurements and provides relations between them.

Cold drawn gold wires are widely applied in electronic packaging process to interconnect micro-electronic components. They basically provides a conducting path for electronic signal transfer, and experience thermo-mechanical loads in use. The mechanical stability of drawn gold wires is a matter of practical concern in the reliable functioning of electronic devices. It is known that mechanical properties of materials are deeply related to the microstructure. With appropriate control of deformation and heat processes, the mechanical properties of final products, such as tensile strength and elongation can be improved. Severe plastic deformation by torsion usually contributes to grain refinement and increment of strength. In this study, microstructure variations with torsion strain followed by drawing and heat treatment were investigated. Analyses by focused ion beam (FIB) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) were carried out to characterize the effect of deformation and heat treatment on the drawn gold wires. Pattern quality of EBSD measurements was used as a quantitative measure for plastic deformation.

Abstract This paper presents the possibilities of forming the microstructure as well as mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of Cu-3Ti alloy (wt.%) in thermal and thermomechanical processes that are a combination of homogenising treatment, hot and cold working, solution treatment and ageing. Phase composition of the alloy following various stages of processing it into the specified semi-finished product was being determined too. It was demonstrated that the application of cold plastic deformation between solution treatment and ageing could significantly enhance the effect of hardening of the Cu-3Ti alloy without deteriorating its electrical conductivity. It was found that for the investigated alloy the selection of appropriate conditions for homogenising treatment, hot and cold deformation as well as solution treatment and ageing enables to obtain the properties comparable to those of beryllium bronzes.

The technology of structure refinement in materials with the aim of achieving substantial mechanical properties and maintaining the required plasticity level is becoming increasingly useful in industrial practice. Magnesium alloys are very progressive materials for utilization in practice thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratios (tensile strength/density). The presented paper analyses the effect of the input heat treatment of the AZ31 alloy on the change of structure and strength properties through the process of severe plastic deformation (SPD), which finds an increasing utilization, especially in the automotive and aviation industry. For the study of the influence of the SPD process (ECAP method) on the properties of the AZ31 alloy, two types of thermal treatment of the initial state of the structure were selected. The analysis of the structure of the AZ31 alloy was performed in the initial state without heat treatment and subsequently after heat treatment. In the next part, the influence of the number of passes on the strengthening curves was evaluated. Mechanical properties of the AZ31 alloy after ECAP were evaluated by hardness measurement and completed by structure analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to present the microstructure and mechanical behavior of 6060 aluminum alloy after intense plastic deformation. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) was used as a method of severe plastic deformation. Before ECAP part of the samples were heat treated to remove internal stresses in the commercially available aluminium alloy. The evolution of microstructure and tensile strength were tested after 1, 3, 6 and 9 ECAP passes in annealed and non annealed states. It was found that intensely plastically deformed refined grains were present in the tested samples and exhibited increased mechanical properties. Differences were noted between samples without and after heat treatment

As part of a novel method for evolutionary material development, particle-oriented peening is used in this work to characterize 100Cr6 (AISI 52100) microparticles that were heat-treated by means of a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The plastic deformation of the samples in particle-oriented peening is correlated with the microstructural properties considering different heat-treatment variations. While the heating rate was kept constant (10 K/min) for all heat treatments, different heating temperatures (500 °C, 800 °C, 1000 °C and 1100 °C) were realized, held for 20 min and then cooled down at a rate of 50 K/min. Thereby, microstructural states with different (mechanical) properties are generated. For validation, microsections of the particles were analyzed and additional universal microhardness measurements (UMH) were performed. It could be shown that the quickly assessable plastic deformation descriptor reacts sensitively to the changes in the hardness due to the heat treatment.

Electrical conductivity, tensile strength and micro-hardness of Cu-3.5wt.%Ti-0.1wt.%Zr-RE alloy were investigated after optimizing technics of plastic deformation and the heat treatment. The results show that good combination of the physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength 1160 MPa, micro-hardness 335 Hv and electrical conductivity 15 IACS% can be obtained on peak aging at 420°C for 7 h. Maximum strength was associated with the precipitation of metastable, ordered and coherent β/ (Cu4Ti) phase on peak aging. Then the strength decreased due to the precipitation of β (Cu3Ti) phase in alloys overaged.
