Strength And Ductility

ABSTRACTThe iron aluminides based on Fe3Al or FeAl being developed for intermediate temperature applications suffer from mediocre room temperature strength and ductility and poor high temperature tensile and creep strength. Attempts to overcome these problems have been restricted by the limited possibilities of structure modification by, for example, precipitation of stable strengthening particles. The present study examines two approaches to obtaining two-phase mixtures for improved strength and ductility: by adjusting chemical compositions such that two-phase order-disorder (α-α″) mixtures are obtained, and by mechanical alloying. Two-phase α-α″ mixtures are obtained by heat treatment of Fe-Al alloys with Al content near 20–24% and in ternary Fe-Al-Si alloys with suitably adjusted Al and Si contents. Microstructures of such alloys can be modified during heat treatments by ordering, precipitation or decomposition, and two-phase mixtures similar to those in the γ-γ superalloys obtained. Such two-phase alloys show good high temperature tensile and creep strength with some indication of reasonable ductility and reduced environmental sensitivity. Mechanical alloying can easily produce FeAl alloys of fine grain size reinforced with stable oxide particles. These structures lead to high room temperature strength with some ductility: controlled recrystallization can significantly modify both strength and ductility.

ABSTRACTIron aluminides show many interesting properties, but still show relatively poor ductility at room temperature and only moderate creep resistance at temperatures above about 600ºC. Processes of severe plastic deformation have been investigated for a wide range of ductile alloys over the past decade, but have hardly been considered for intermetallics. This presentation discusses two studies aimed at refining microstructure by the use of severe plastic deformation of iron aluminides. The first considers processing Fe3Al by heavy cold rolling, followed by annealing for recovery or recrystallization, with an objective of refining grain size to improve strength at the same time as ductility. The high strength and poor ductility of the work hardened material leads to a danger of cracking during rolling, which is a problem for manufacturing large quantities of healthy material. Suitable rolling and recovery treatments can, nevertheless, lead to strong materials with some plastic ductility. A different technique of multidirectional, high-strain and high-temperature forging applied to a boride-containing Fe3Al alloy produces a material with large grain size and refined dispersion of boride particles. These particles lead to a considerable increase in creep strength under conditions of moderate stresses at temperatures around 700ºC. This high-strain forging technique can be seen as an intermediate processing method between conventional wrought metallurgy and mechanical-alloying powder metallurgy. This technique offers the possibility to improve high temperature behaviour of such intermetallics containing second-phase dispersions, and can be scaled to produce large quantities of high-quality material.

Nb and/or Cr added Ni3(Si,Ti) as well as unalloyed Ni3(Si,Ti) intermetallic thin foils (i.e., Ni3(Si,Ti), Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb, Ni3(Si,Ti)+Cr and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb,Cr) were fabricated from arc-melted polycrystalline ingots by thermomechanical process and subsequent heavy cold-rolling. Tensile property at room temperature as well as at high temperature and oxidization behavior of the cold-rolled foils with a thickness of ~200μm were investigated. The Ni3(Si,Ti) and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb alloys showed a single-phase microstructure consisting of L12 phase, while the Ni3(Si,Ti)+Cr and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb,Cr alloys exhibited a two-phase microstructure with A1 (fcc) Ni solid solution phase within the L12 grains. All the cold-rolled foils showed high tensile strength (over 2GPa) at room temperature although no plastic elongation was observed. The addition of Nb and/or Cr slightly enhanced the room-temperature tensile strength of the Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy. On the other hand, the addition of Nb and/or Cr prominently enhanced high-temperature tensile strength as well as oxidization resistance, while the addition of Cr improved high-temperature elongation.

In this paper, the high temperature tensile tests and ambient temperature tensile tests are performed. The high strength of the welding for 1Cr9Mo/45 and 0Cr18Ni9/45 is somewhat smaller than the ambient strength, but the elongation is improved. Both the high strength and ductility are decreased compared to the results of the room tests. The rupture is located in the side of 1Cr9Mo for the welding of 1Cr9Mo/0Cr18Ni9 at the room temperature, while the rupture is located in the side of 0Cr18Ni9 at high temperature. It is concluded that the strength in high temperature is decreased for 0Cr18Ni9. The rupture happens in the side of 45 for both heterogenic welding joints of 45/0Cr18Ni9 and 45/1Cr9Mo.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

Ni-Cr-Co type Nickel-based super alloy Inconel 740H was studied. The effect of Nb, Al and Ti on the equilibrium of this alloy was analyzed by JMatPro software. The amount of Ti and Nb should be controlled by 1.50wt.%, and meanwhile, Al should be 1.0-2.0wt.%. If Mo and W were added the amount of Mo should be in the range of 1.0-2.0wt. %, and W should be about 1.0wt.%. Based on these results, three types of new alloys were designed, which contain Ni-Cr-Co-Mo type (1#), Ni-Cr-Co-W type (2#) and Ni-Cr-Co-Mo-W type (3#). Compared with the Ni-Cr-Co type Inconel 740H alloy, the room temperature strength, high temperature strength and high temperature durable performance of the three new alloys improved, which can provide the evidence and reference to optimize the chemical composition of Inconel 740H alloy, i.e., adding 1.50wt.% Mo and 1.0wt.% W individually or together.

ABSTRACTIn recent years, interest in high temperature aluminum alloys has increased. However, nearly all the data available is for simple extrusions. This paper looks at the properties of sheet made from a rapidly solidified Al-10Fe-2.5V-2Si alloy. The sheet is made by direct forging followed by hot rolling, this is readily scalable, so allowing the production of large sheet. The room temperature strength and fracture toughness of the sheet are comparable to those of 2014-T6. The high temperature strength, specific stiffness and corrosion resistance are excellent. Recently, improved thermomechanical processing and new alloys have allowed higher strengths and fracture toughness values to be obtained.

Conductivity Behavior

Copper and copper alloys had various applications in tremendous areas due to their unique properties, such as good conductivity, good thermal conductivity and so on. However, applications of copper and copper alloys were severely restricted as the result of the limited strength at room temperature and poor wear-resistance at high temperature. In this paper, we investigated the preparation of Cu-Cr-Zr/AlN nanocomposites by mechanical alloying process and then powder metallurgy technology. XRD and SEM were performed for the phase and morphology characterization. The conductivity properties were also tested and the results showed that Cu-Cr-Zr/AlN nanocomposites exhibited excellent conductivity behavior.
