The nickel-base wrought Alloy 718 was designed for high strength at elevated temperatures, that is, near 1200 deg F; the alloy also has exceptional mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures. This paper reviews the metallurgy of Alloy 718. The effect of variations in composition, microstructure, and heat-treatment are correlated to mechanical properties; the relationships among these factors are complex and are described where possible.

IN738LC is a cast nickel-base superalloy developed for applications requiring high strength at elevated temperatures. Its balanced composition provides a good combination of tensile and creep-rupture properties as a result of gamma prime precipitate strengthening enhanced by solid solution and grain-boundary strengthening. Experimental castings are used in heat treated state. This alloy is used widely, for example, for manufacturing of gas turbine blades. Recently, customers demand different weight of castings hence different conditions during solidifying and cooling of the castings originate, resulting in different castings microstructure. When approving the castings, mechanical values are measured by tensile test on test bars made from the cast blade roots. This work investigates mechanical properties casting structure correlations, particularly grain, casting defects, carbides.

Abstract TECHALLOY WASPALOY, a nickel-base austenitic precipitation-hardenable alloy, derives its high strength at elevated temperatures from additions of the solid-solution strengthening elements molybdenum, cobalt and chromium and from aluminum and titanium which produce age hardening. Boron and zirconium additions also have been made to obtain optimum stress-rupture strength. It has excellent strength and good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at least to 1600 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and creep. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ni-243. Producer or source: Techalloy Company Inc..

Titanium additions are often used for boron factor and primary austenite grain size control in boron high- and ultra-high-strength alloys. Due to the risk of formation of coarse TiN during solidification the addition of titanium is limited in respect to nitrogen. The risk of coarse nitrides working as non-metallic inclusions formed in the last solidification front can degrade fatigue properties and weldability of the final product. In the presented study three microalloying systems with minor additions were tested, two without any titanium addition, to evaluate grain size evolution and mechanical properties with pre-defined as-cast, hot forging, hot rolling, and off-line heat-treatment strategy to meet demands for S1100QL steel. Microstructure evolution from hot-forged to final martensitic microstructure was observed, continuous cooling transformation diagrams of non-deformed austenite were constructed for off-line heat treatment, and the mechanical properties of Nb and V–Nb were compared to Ti–Nb microalloying system with a limited titanium addition. Using the parameters in the laboratory environment all three micro-alloying systems can provide needed mechanical properties, especially the Ti–Nb system can be successfully replaced with V–Nb having the highest response in tensile properties and still obtaining satisfying toughness of 27 J at –40 °C using Charpy V-notch samples.

The article presents results of a study of phase composition and microstructure of initial material and samples obtained by selective laser melting of titanium-based alloy, as well as samples after heat treatment. The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of specimens was shown. It was studied mechanical behavior of manufactured specimens before and after heat treatment at room and elevated temperatures as well. The heat treatment allows obtaining sufficient mechanical properties of material at room and elevated temperatures such as increase in ductility of material. The fractography of samples showed that they feature ductile fracture with brittle elements.

In order to obtain high-strength and high-ductility Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloys, the present research is focused on optimizing the composition of soluble phases, the structure and morphology of insoluble phases, and artificial ageing processes. The results show that the best matches, 0.4 wt% Mg and 1.2 wt% Cu in the Al–9Si alloy, avoided the toxic effect of the blocky Al2Cu on the mechanical properties of the alloy. The addition of 0.6 wt% Zn modified the morphology of eutectic Si from coarse particles to fine fibrous particles and the texture of Fe-rich phases from acicular β-Fe to blocky π-Fe in the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy. With the optimization of the heat treatment parameters, the spherical eutectic Si and the fully fused β-Fe dramatically improved the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture. Compared with the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy, the 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy not only increased the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture of peak ageing but also reduced the time of peak ageing. The following improved combination of higher tensile strength and higher elongation was achieved for 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy by double-stage ageing: 100 °C × 3 h + 180 °C × 7 h, with mechanical properties of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of ~371 MPa, yield strength (YS) of ~291 MPa, and elongation to fracture (E%) of ~5.6%.

This study considers the influence of various heat treatment conditions on the change of steel microstructure parameters, mechanical properties and cold resistance at a temperature of-60 °C. The common behavior of these properties is considered depending on the heating temperature used for quenching and subsequent tempering. Based on the obtained results, heat treatment conditions are proposed that provide a combination of a guaranteed yield point σ0.2 ≥600 N/mm2 with a low-temperature impact toughness KCV-60 ≥50 J/cm2 and plasticity δ5 ≥17%. The obtained research results are intended for industrial use at the mill "5000" site of MMK PJSC.
