Ti65 alloy (Ti-5.8Al-4.0Sn-3.5Zr-0.5Mo-0.4Si-0.3Nb-1.0Ta-0.8W-0.05C) is the newly developed high temperature titanium alloy optimized from Ti60 alloys. The long-term service temperature of the alloy is as high as 650 °C, which is unattainable with the previous high temperature titanium alloy. It has excellent strength and excellent creep resistance, and has great application prospects in the aerospace industry. In the current study, the evolution of microstructure and texture of Ti65 alloy sheets developed by unidirectional rolling (UDR) and cross rolling (CR) followed by solution and aging treatment was investigated. The microstructure of the UDR sample consists of equiaxed α p , lamellar α s and few elongated α p , and the texture is the combination of minor B-type and major T-type texture, with the main component of basal {0001} fiber texture and { 01 1 ¯ 0 } < 2 1 ¯ 1 ¯ 0 > , respectively. Due to more active slip system resulted by transformed direction, the microstructure of the CR sample consists of more elongated α p , and the { 01 1 ¯ 0 } <0001> texture characterized as R-type texture forms in addition to B/T-type texture. With aging temperature increasing, the microstructures for both transform to duplex microstructure, and the thicknesses of lamellar α s increase. B-type texture becomes stronger, while T/R-type texture are weakened, which is caused by the combination of recrystallization, spheroidization, and variant selection. An abnormal increasing of T/R-type texture but constant B-type texture happens in the CR-600 sample, which is related to high recrystallization fraction. It is expected that the research results can provide useful references for the rolling of high temperature titanium alloy sheets and the precise control of microstructure/texture.

Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–2Mo (Ti-6242), a near-[Formula: see text] titanium alloy explicitly designed for high-temperature applications, consists of a martensitic structure after selective laser melting (SLM). However, martensite is thermally unstable and thus adverse to the long-term service at high temperatures. Hence, understanding martensite decomposition is a high priority for seeking post-heat treatment for SLMed Ti-6242. Besides, compared to the room-temperature titanium alloys like Ti–6Al–4V, aging treatment is indispensable to high-temperature near-[Formula: see text] titanium alloys so that their microstructures and mechanical properties are pre-stabilized before working at elevated temperatures. Therefore, the aging response of the material is another concern of this study. To elaborate the two concerns, SLMed Ti-6242 was first isothermally annealed at 650[Formula: see text]C and then water-quenched to room temperature, followed by standard aging at 595[Formula: see text]C. The microstructure analysis revealed a temperature-dependent martensite decomposition, which proceeded sluggishly at [Formula: see text]C despite a long duration but rapidly transformed into lamellar [Formula: see text] above the martensite transition zone (770[Formula: see text]C). As heating to [Formula: see text]C), it produced a coarse microstructure containing new martensites formed in water quenching. The subsequent mechanical testing indicated that SLM-built Ti-6242 is excellent in terms of both room- and high-temperature tensile properties, with around 1400 MPa (UTS)[Formula: see text]5% elongation and 1150 MPa (UTS)[Formula: see text]10% elongation, respectively. However, the combination of water quenching and aging embrittled the as-built material severely.

Uniaxial compression deformation is conducted on solid solution Al-3mass%Mg and Al-3mass%Mg-0.2mass%Sc with Al3Sc precipitates in the strain rates ranging from 1.0×10-4s-1 to 5.0×10-3s-1 at 723K. High temperature yielding is observed. Fiber texture is constructed in all the deformation conditions. While the main component of the fiber texture changes from {011} to {001} in Al-3mass%Mg alloy with an increase in strain rate, no big change in texture main component is seen for Al-3mass%Mg-0.2mass%Sc alloy with Al3Sc precipitates. It is experimentally shown that the development of {001} fiber texture can be attributed to the grain boundary migration.

Delayed ettringite formation (DEF) can affect the long-term durability of concrete structures by causing cracking and expansion of the material. Consequently, mechanical properties decrease which may cause large structural disorders due to unexpected deformations and additional stresses in concrete and reinforcement. This reaction consists in ettringite crystallization within concrete after hardening is substantially complete, and in which no sulphates come from outside the cement paste. It may occur in materials that have been subjected to temperature above about 65 °C at early age and to high humidity. At this high temperature, the ettringite turns unstable while the concrete is still plastic and forms again after cooling in the hardened material, thus generating swelling due to crystallisation pressure.This article aims to present a new model for the calculation of structures affected by DEF and to study the effect of the prefabrication temperature on the development of this reaction. In this context, the elaborated model was applied to the 3D simulations of a real bridge affected by this phenomenon. The results highlight that the temperature reached in the precast beams of the studied bridge during prefabrication has a significant effect on the displacements and stresses. Therefore, more precise control of the prefabrication temperature has to be applied in order to prevent the swelling and damage to structures.

Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on Al-2.3mass%Cu and Al-4.6mass%Cu alloys under strain rates and temperatures ranging from 1.0×10-4s-1 to 5.0×10-2s-1 and 723K to 803K, respectively. Texture measurements reveal that main component of the fiber texture changes from {001} + {011} to {001} depending on the deformation conditions. EBSD measurements reveal that grain structure separates into large grains without subgrains and small and large grains with subgrains after the deformation at 803K under a strain rate of 5.0×10-2s-1 up to a strain of -1.0 in Al-4.6massCu alloy.

Rapid solidification processing (RSP) is one method of producing high strength aluminum alloys for elevated temperature applications. Allied-Signal, Inc. has produced an Al-12.4 Fe-1.2 V-2.3 Si (composition in wt pct) alloy which possesses good microstructural stability up to 425°C. This alloy contains a high volume fraction (37 v/o) of fine nearly spherical, α-Al12(Fe, V)3Si dispersoids. The improved elevated temperature strength and stability of this alloy is due to the slower dispersoid coarsening rate of the silicide particles. Additionally, the high v/o of second phase particles should inhibit recrystallization and grain growth, and thus reduce any loss in strength due to long term, high temperature annealing.The focus of this research is to investigate microstructural changes induced by long term, high temperature static annealing heat-treatments. Annealing treatments for up to 1000 hours were carried out on this alloy at 500°C, 550°C and 600°C. Particle coarsening and/or recrystallization and grain growth would be accelerated in these temperature regimes.
