Mg-Li based alloys are widely applied in various engineering applications. The strength of these alloys is modified and enhanced by different strengthening mechanisms. The strengthening mechanisms of these alloys and their composites have been extensively studied during the past decades. Important mechanisms applied to strengthening the alloys include precipitation strengthening, solution strengthening, grain and subgrain strengthening, and dislocation density strengthening. Precipitation and solution strengthening mechanisms are strongly dependent on composition of the alloys and thermal treatment processes, whereas grain and subgrain and dislocation density strengthening mechanisms majorly depend on thermomechanical processing. In this paper, recent studies on conventional processes for the strengthening of Mg-Li based alloys are summarized as they are critical during the alloys design and processing. Main strengthening mechanisms are objectively reviewed, focusing on their advantages and drawbacks. These can contribute to enhancing, initiating, and improving future researches for alloys design and suitable processing selection.

The Cu-Cr and Cu-Cr-Ti alloy plates were prepared by vacuum melting and plastic deformation. The effect of slight Ti element on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-Cr alloy was discussed. The result shows that Cr particles with spherical shape precipitated from Cu matrix after aging. Plenty Ti atoms dissolved in the vicinity of Cr particles and there were still parts of solid solution Ti atoms in other regions. Improvements in peak hardness and softening resistance were achieved with the addition of Ti element in Cu-Cr alloy. The addition of 0.1 wt.% Ti element makes Cu-Cr alloy possess tensile strength of 565 MPa and hardness of 185.9 HV after aging at 450 °C for 120 min, which can be attributed to multiple strengthening mechanisms, i.e. work hardening, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

The grain refining of C-Mn steel on CSP line was investigated in this paper. The grain size was about 100μm after rolling by stand F1 and then decreased all the way of the rolling process(stands F2-F6) to 15μm. The strengthening mechanisms, grain refinement strengthening, solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening, were figured out to develop a physical metallurgy model for prediction of the properties. It was noted that there is an agreement between the predicted properties and the measured ones of the steel.

The creep resistance of nickel-base superalloys has progressed consistently over the past two decades. These improvements have been accomplished through the use of three principal strengthening mechanisms, solid solution strengthening, intermetallic (gamma prime) strengthening, and carbide strengthening. Most recently statistical regression analysis has been employed to predict the influence of alloying ingredients in nickel, and an alloy (TRW-NASA VI A) has been designed through this procedure. Superalloys, along with appropriate cooling mechanisms, appear to be entrenched as the materials of construction for the hotter portions of aircraft gas turbines for at least the next ten years.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-2Si-2Nb-2Fe-1Hf-1Ta-1W alloy with (TiHf)5Si3 particle-reinforcement and their underlying relations have been studied. Electron microscope observations and correlative statistical analysis have been made to analyze microstructure evolution with heat treatments. The (TiHf)5Si3 particles with 800 nm in diameter were found uniformly distributed at α/β boundaries and triple junctions and turned out to be stable even after heat treatments at high temperature for a long period, inhibiting grain growth and dislocation motion. In addition, multi-strengthening-mechanisms including particle strengthening, solid-solution strengthening, grain boundary strengthening and dislocation strengthening have been discussed.

The changes in water treatment technology that have occurred within the United Kingdom over the past 25–30 years, together with the present direction of development, are reviewed. Water treatment for public supply differs from many other process technologies, notably in the large scale of operation, the longevity of the plant, the regulatory environment and the slow rate at which new processes can be introduced. Thus, many developments are initiated as a result of regulatory requirements rather than economic factors. Reliability is paramount, and this leads to mechanical simplicity.
