440C martensitic stainless steels are widely used because of their good mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of 440C martensitic stainless steel were evaluated after heat treatment of these materials at various types of heat treatment processes. The initial part of this investigation focused on the microstructures of these 440C steels. Microstructure evaluations from the as-received to the as-tempered condition were described. In the as-received condition, the formations of ferrite matrix and carbide particles were observed in this steel. In contrast, the precipitation of M7C3carbides and martensitic structures were present in this steel due to the rapid quenching process from the high temperature condition. After precipitation heat treatment, the Cr-rich M23C6carbides were identified within the structures. Moreover, a 30 minutes heat-treated sample shows the highest value of hardness compared to the others holding time. Finally, the tempering process had been carried out to complete the whole heat treatment process in addition to construct the secondary hardening phenomenon. It is believed that this phenomenon influenced the value of hardness of the 440C steel.

Gold Wires

This paper studies the microstructure of drawn gold wires to equivalent strain of 10 and to equivalent strain of 8.5 then heat-treated. The texture of gold wire drawn to strain of 10 is mainly composed of <100> and <111> fibers. Tensile strength of the gold wire increases with <111> fiber fraction, while the grain size does not appear to affect the tensile property. With an exception at heat treatment at 600oC, the texture of gold wire drawn the strain of 8.5 is replaced with <100> fiber component by heat treatment process at 400~700oC. Heat treatment at 600oC produces <110> fiber or <112> fiber, depending upon annealing time.

Annealing Heat Treatment

Thermal conductivity measurements of commercially available CVD grown individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are reported. The measurements are performed using the three-omega-based Wollaston T-Type probe method inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). An average 385% increase in thermal conductivity is measured for those MWCNTs samples which undergo a 20 hour 3000°C post annealing heat treatment. However, in most samples qualitatively characterized defects are found to negate any advantage of the heat treatment process. The highest thermal conductivity measured is 893.0 W/mK and is of a heat-treated sample. These results will help to improve the quality of MWCNT production and aid in the development of highly efficient CNT-structured thermal management devices and engineering materials.

Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) alloy has excellent mechanical properties and bone conductivity. For dental application, TNTZ surfaces were converted to white oxidized layer by a simple heat treatment in air to achieve the formation of aesthetic surfaces. The oxidized layer formed by the heat treatment at 1000°C for 0.5 or 1 hr was whiter and joined to TNTZ substrate more strongly than that formed by the treatment at 900°C. The layer consisted of TiO2(rutile), TiNb2O7, and TiTa2O7and possessed ~30 μm in thickness for the sample heat-treated at 1000°C and ~10 μm for that heat-treated at 900°C. The surface average roughness and the wettability increased after the heat treatment. The spreading and proliferation level of mouse osteoblast-like cell (MC3T3-E1 cell) on the heat-treated sample were almost the same as those on as-prepared one. The cell spreading on TNTZ was better than those on pure titanium (CP Ti) regardless of the heat treatment for the samples. There was no deterioration in thein vitrocell compatibility of TNTZ after the oxidized layer coating by the heat treatment.

The composition and microstructure of silicon nitride fibers after heat-treatment at elevated temperatures were investigated by XRD, NMR, XPS, SEM and TEM analyses. The results show that as-received fibers consisted of amorphous silicon nitride, and a little Si-C-O structure. During heat-treatment process, α-Si3N4 and β-Si3N4 formed resulting from the crystallization of amorphous silicon nitride, and the formation of β-SiC derived from the decomposition of Si-C-O structure. As heat-treated temperature increased from 1400oC to 1600oC, the above phenomenon become obvious, indicating that the fiber would possess high serving life with serving temperature lower than 1400oC. The tensile strength of fibers stays stable when heat-treated temperature was below 1200oC, while the strength retention of fibers sharply decreased to 50% after heat-treatment at 1400°C.

In this experiment, the influence of non-treated (NT), natural aging (T4) and artificial aging (T6) heat-treatments was investigated on the tensile strength of Al-5.9Cu-1.9Mg at different casting temperatures. Three levels of casting temperatures were used: 688, 738, 788 °C while the mold temperature was kept constant at 220 °C. The cast sample was heat-treated by natural aging and artificial aging techniques. The results show that the tensile strength in the non-treated sample decreases initially and then rises slightly with increasing casting temperature. The effect of casting temperature on T4 involved first an increase in tensile strength and then a decrease when elevating the casting temperature, but with no significant effect. In the T6 treatment, the tensile strength first decreases followed by a slight increase with increasing casting temperature. The heat treatment process improved the tensile strength in the three different samples, except at a casting temperature of 768 °C.

Optimum Heat Treatment

The as-cast grate bar structure used in sintering trolley is primarily comprised of austenite and eutectic (eutectic austenite and eutectic carbide).The austenite is dendrite, while the carbides are reticular and chrysanthemum-like. The failed grate bar structure primarily consists of ferrite, carbide, martensite and residual austenite; cavity shrinkage and shrinkage porosity exist in the structure, and the fracture exhibits typical cleavage fracture characteristics. The primary means of failure are abrasion and fracture. The secondary carbides precipitated in the sample (quenching (1050°C+2.5h)+ tempering (390°C+2.5h)) and the other one (quenching (1050°C+2.5h)+ tempering (420°C+2.5h) ) are dispersed and refined. Compared with the as-cast one, their relative abrasion resistance performances respectively are 0.8645 and 0.8752.The values of hardness and impact toughness of the samples heat-treated are greater than those of the as-cast grate bar. The optimum heat treatment process is as follows: quenching (1050°C,2.5h) + tempering (390°C~420°C,2.5h)

High damping magnesium alloys have poor mechanical properties, so it is necessary to investigate the damping properties of high-strength wrought magnesium alloys to effectively reduce vibration and noise in mechanical engineering. The aim of this work is to improve the mechanical damping performance of a novel high-strength Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr magnesium alloy by optimising the heat treatment process. The mechanical damping coefficient, considering not only damping capacity but also the yield strength, is selected as one of the evaluation indexes. The other evaluation index is the tensile strength. The solid solution and ageing treatment were optimised by Box-Behnken method, an efficient experimental design technique. Heat treatment experiments based on the optimal parameters verified that the best process is a solution at 520 °C for 10 h followed by ageing at 239 °C for 22 h. The damping coefficient reaches 0.296, which is 73.1% higher than that before heat treatment. There was a good agreement between the experimental and Box-Behnken predicted results. The microstructure, morphology and composition of the second phases after heat treatment were analysed by SEM, XRD and EDS. Due to the high content of alloying elements in Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy, there are a large number of second phases after heat treated. They mainly include layer, short rod-shaped, bulk long period stacking order (LPSO) Mg12YZn and granular Mg5Gd phases. It was found that the area fraction of the second phases has an extreme effect on the damping capacity and short rod-shaped LPSO can effectively improve the damping capacity of heat-treated Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy. The volume fraction of the second phases was analysed by ImageJ software. It was concluded that the smaller the area occupied by the second phases, the better the mobility of the dislocation, and the better the damping performance of the alloy. The statistical analysis results obtained using ImageJ software are consistent with the experimental results damping capacity.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of nickel-based superalloys is of high interest for application in complex hot end parts. However, it has been widely suggested that the microstructure-properties of the additive manufacturing processed superalloys are not yet fully clear. In this study, the GTD222, an important superalloy for high-temperature hot-end part, were prepared using selective laser melting and then subjected to heat treatment. The microstructure evolution of the GTD222 was investigated and the mechanical properties of heat treated GTD222 were tested. The results have shown that the grain size of the heat treated GTD222 was close to its as-built counterparts. Meanwhile, a large amount of γ’ and nano-scaled carbides were precipitated in the heat treated GTD222. The microstructure characteristics implied that the higher strength of the heat treated GTD222 can be attributed to the γ’ and nano-scaled carbides. This study provides essential microstructure and mechanical properties information for optimizing the heat treatment process of the AM processed GTD222.
