ABSTRACTThe effect of fine M2C particles on the recrystallization temperature and high temperature strength of warm rolled Fe3Al base alloys was investigated. Fe-27Al-1.2C-2Cr-xMo (x: 0.3, 0.9) alloys (in at.%) were arc melted, warm rolled and annealed. TEM observations have revealed that fine M2C particles were present in the alloy containing 0.9% Mo but not in the alloy with 0.3% Mo after warm rolling. The recrystallization temperature increased from 740 °C to 810 °C when the Mo content is increased from 0.3 to 0.9 due to the presence of fine M2C particles. Tensile tests conducted on annealed samples with fine sub-grained matrix have shown that the introduction of fine M2C particles is effective to enhance the proof stress at 600 °C.

ABSTRACTThe effect of grain boundary (GB) and matrix precipitates on high temperature strength was investigated in Fe3Al base alloys containing Cr, Mo and C. Tensile tests were conducted at 600°C for three types of microstructures consisting of: (I) film-like κ phase precipitates covering GBs and fine M2C particles in the matrix, (II) only fine M2C particles in the matrix and (III) no second-phase particles in the matrix. It was found that κ films on GBs are more than twice as effective as finely dispersed M2C particles for improving the proof stress.

This paper describescrack-less electrical discharge machining (EDM) of molybdenum (Mo) with titanium (Ti) electrode. Mo is often machined by EDM because of its high hardness. However, a molybdenum carbide (MoC and Mo2C) layer with high hardness and brittleness is formed by EDM in kerosene oil. Moreover, Mo becomes recrystallizationembrittlement at high temperature. Therefore, many cracks occurred in the EDMed surface. On the other hand, the addition of Ti rises recrystallization temperature and improves high temperature strength of Mo.In order to decrease the cracks in the machined surface, Mo was machined by EDM with a Ti electrode in deionized water. In the case of the positive electrode polarity, many cracks occurred in the base material and recast layer. The cracks in the base material might generate by crystal grain boundary embrittlement. In contrast, the EDMed surface indicated crack-less on the negative electrode polarity. To clarify the causes of crack-less surface on negative electrode polarity, componential analysis of EDMed surface was carried out. The component ratio of Ti on the negative electrode polarity was higher than that on the positive. In addition, the recast layer was composed by Mo-Ti solid solution.

Effects of aging treatment on high temperature strength of Nb added ferritic stainless steels for automotive parts were investigated. Hot tensile tests were carried out at 700 °C after the aging at 700 °C for different aging times using Gleeble 1500. High temperature strength of all steels decreased as the aging time increased. In Nb free steels, the reduction in high temperature strength is mainly due to grain growth. On the other hand, in Nb added steels, the reduction in high temperature strength occurred by Nb precipitation. It was observed that Fe2Nb (Laves phase), Nb(C,N) and Fe3Nb3C were precipitated out during the aging at 700 °C in Nb added steels. The coarsening rate of Fe2Nb was higher than that of Nb(C,N). Fine Fe2Nb precipitates formed during at the early stage of aging contributed to high temperature strength in 0.01C-0.38Nb steel. However, coarse Fe2Nb particles formed during the aging were very detrimental to high temperature strength. The coarsening of Fe2Nb was relatively retarded by adding Mo.

Currently there is a great interest in developing nickel base alloys with fine and uniform dispersion of stable oxide particles, for high temperature applications. It is well known that the high temperature strength and stability of an oxide dispersed alloy can be greatly improved by appropriate thermomechanical processing, but the mechanism of this strengthening effect is not well understood. This investigation was undertaken to study the dislocation substructures formed in beryllia dispersed nickel alloys as a function of cold work both with and without intermediate anneals. Two alloys, one Ni-lv/oBeo and other Ni-4.5Mo-30Co-2v/oBeo were investigated. The influence of the substructures produced by Thermo-Mechanical Processing (TMP) on the high temperature creep properties of these alloys was also evaluated.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.

Grain boundaries have long held a special significance to ceramicists. In part, this has been because it has been impossible until now to actually observe the boundaries themselves. Just as important, however, is the fact that the grain boundaries and their environs have a determing influence on both the mechanisms by which powder compaction occurs during fabrication, and on the overall mechanical properties of the material. One area where the grain boundary plays a particularly important role is in the high temperature strength of hot-pressed ceramics. This is a subject of current interest as extensive efforts are being made to develop ceramics, such as silicon nitride alloys, for high temperature structural applications. In this presentation we describe how the techniques of lattice fringe imaging have made it possible to study the grain boundaries in a number of refractory ceramics, and illustrate some of the findings.

The strengthening effect at high temperature produced by a dispersed oxide phase in a metal matrix is seemingly dependent on at least two major contributors: oxide particle size and spatial distribution, and stability of the worked microstructure. These two are strongly interrelated. The stability of the microstructure is produced by polygonization of the worked structure forming low angle cell boundaries which become anchored by the dispersed oxide particles. The effect of the particles on strength is therefore twofold, in that they stabilize the worked microstructure and also hinder dislocation motion during loading.

Silicon nitride and silicon nitride based-ceramics are now well known for their potential as hightemperature structural materials, e.g. in engines. However, as is the case for many ceramics, in order to produce a dense product, sintering additives are utilized which allow liquid-phase sintering to occur; but upon cooling from the sintering temperature residual intergranular phases are formed which can be deleterious to high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, especially if these phases are nonviscous glasses. Many oxide sintering additives have been utilized in processing attempts world-wide to produce dense creep resistant components using Si3N4 but the problem of controlling intergranular phases requires an understanding of the glass forming and subsequent glass-crystalline transformations that can occur at the grain boundaries.

Small additions of Hf to NiAl produce a significant increase in the high-temperature strength of single crystals. Hf has a very limited solubility in NiAl and in the presence of Si, results in a high density of G-phase (Ni16Hf6Si7) cuboidal precipitates and some G-platelets in a NiAl matrix. These precipitates have a F.C.C structure and nucleate on {100}NiAl planes with almost perfect coherency and a cube-on-cube orientation-relationship (O.R.). However, G-phase is metastable and after prolonged aging at high temperature dissolves at the expense of a more stable Heusler (β'-Ni2AlHf) phase. In addition to these two phases, a third phase was shown to be present in a NiAl-0.3at. % Hf alloy, but was not previously identified (Fig. 4 of ref. 2 ). In this work, we report the morphology, crystal-structure, O.R., and stability of this unknown phase, which were determined using conventional and analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Single crystals of NiAl containing 0.5at. % Hf were grown by a Bridgman technique. Chemical analysis indicated that these crystals also contained Si, which was not an intentional alloying addition but was picked up from the shell mold during directional solidification.
