While pure tantalum has excellent corrosion resistance and formability, its high temperature properties and thermal stability are marginal for some intended applications. Traditional approaches for improving these properties have been dispersion and solid solution strengthening. Modifications of properties via an intermetallic precipitation was not considered until recently.Results of an on-going investigation on the processing and evaluation of silicidestrengthened tantalum are presented. Yttrium silicide-containing Tantalum samples were produced via the P/M method. Evaluation consisted of microstructural, mechanical, chemical and functional tests. Results were compared with those of commercially available tantalum. Intermetallics precipitates were found to be very potent in altering these properties.While the preliminary results are encouraging, extensive functional testing is required to assure that there is no unexpected adverse effect.

ABSTRACTSi1−xGex layers containing 2×1020 oxygen atoms/cm3 exhibit an enhancement in thermal stability when compared to similar films (comparable Ge content and thickness) with 2 orders of magnitude less oxygen. X-ray measurements of the lattice constants in the strained films indicate that the oxygen does not substantially change the amount of strain in the layers. A prediction of the effect of oxygen based on solid solution strengthening theory is shown to be consistent with experimental annealing results. In addition, experimental measurements of slower misfit dislocation velocities in the layers with high oxygen content compared to those measured in films with low oxygen content, support the idea of solid solution strengthening. It is therefore likely that oxygen impedes the kinetics of dislocation formation.

Strength, hardness, and ductility characteristics were determined for a series of palladium-copper alloys that compositionally vary from 5 to 25 weight percent copper. Alloy specimens subjected to vacuum annealing showed clear evidence of solid solution strengthening. These specimens showed, as a function of increasing copper content, increased yield strength, ultimate strength, and Vickers microhardness, while their ductility was little affected by compositional differences. Annealed alloy specimens subsequently subjected to exposure to hydrogen at 323 K and PH2 = 1 atm showed evidence of hydrogen embrittlement up to a composition of ~15 wt. % Cu. The magnitude of the hydrogen embrittlement decreased with increasing copper content in the alloy.

Hydrogenation effect on the development of superplastic deformation in the submicrocrystalline Ti–6Al–4V alloy at temperatures (0.4–0.5)Тmelt is investigated. Hydrogenation of the submicrocrystalline Ti–6Al–4V alloy to 0.26 mass% during superplastic deformation is found to result in solid solution strengthening, plastic deformation localization, and as a consequence, decrease of the deformation to failure. Possible reasons for the decrease of the flow stress and increase of the deformation to failure in the submicrocrystalline Ti–6Al–4V–0.26H alloy during deformation under conditions of superplasticity and simultaneous hydrogen degassing from the alloy are discussed.

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.
