This study takes large size samples after hot-upsetting as research objects and aims to investigate the optimization double-stage annealing parameters for improving the mechanical properties of hot-upsetting samples. The double-stage annealing treatments and uniaxial tensile tests for hot-upsetting GH4169 superalloy were finished firstly. Then, the fracture mode was also studied. The results show that the strength of hot-upsetting GH4169 superalloy can be improved by the double-stage annealing treatment, but the effect of annealing parameters on the elongation of GH4169 alloy at high temperature and room temperature is not significant. The fracture mode of annealed samples at high-temperature and room-temperature tensile tests is a mixture of shear fracture and quasi-cleavage fracture while that of hot-upsetting sample is a shear fracture. The macroscopic expressions for the two fracture modes belong to ductile fracture. Moreover, it is also found that the improvement of strength by the double-stage annealing treatment is greater than the single-stage annealing treatment. This is because the homogeneity of grains plays an important role in the improvement of strength for GH4169 superalloy when the average grain size is similar. Based on a comprehensive consideration, the optimal annealing route is determined as 900 °C × 9–12 h(water cooling) + 980 °C × 60 min(water cooling).

The Ti-6.5Al-2Sn-4Zr-1.5Mo-2Nb-0.25Fe-0.2Si (wt%) alloy is a novel two-phase high temperature alloy for short-term application. The effects of different heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated through electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), optical microcopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and tensile tests at room temperature and 650°C. Subjected to the annealing treatment at α+β region (1010 °C/2 h, FC to 990 °C+990 °C/2 h, AC), the microstructure was composed of bimodal structure, which consists of equiaxed primary α (αp) phase and lamellar transformed β (βt) structure. As a strong β stabilizer, the content of Fe in α phase is much less than that in β phase. Annealing at β region (1040 °C/2 h, AC) resulted in the formation of widmannstatten structure, consisting of coarse raw β grain and secondary α phase precipitated on the β grain. With respect to the tensile property, different heat-treated alloys obtained similar strength. However, widmannstatten structure was characterized by lower plasticity, with the elongation only half that of bimodal structure. The fracture characteristics at room temperature for the alloy with bimodal structure and widmannstatten structure are dominated by ductile fracture and cleavage fracture, respectively.

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.

The effects of heating rate and annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled Al-Si, low C non-oriented electrical steels are investigated using SEM metallography and uniaxial tensile tests. The experimental results show that short term annealing at temperatures up to 850 °C result in microstructures consisting of recrystallized ferrite grains with sizes similar to those observed in industrial semi-processed strips subjected to long term batch annealing treatments. Within the temperature range investigated, the grain size increases and the 0.2% offset yield strength decreases with increasing temperature. It was observed that the rate of change of grain size with increasing temperature increases when annealing is performed at temperatures greater than Ac1 (~870 °C). This effect is attributed to Fe3C dissolution and rapid C segregation to austenite for annealing temperatures within the ferrite+austenite phase field. This leads to faster ferrite growth and formation of pearlite when the steel is finally cooled to room temperature. The presence of pearlite at room temperature decreases the ductility of samples annealed at T > Ac1.

The purpose of this work is to experimentally investigate the effect of annealing treatment on the formability and springback at room temperature for magnesium alloy AZ31 sheets, which were produced by rolling through reversible warm mill after twin roll strip casting. Microstructure evolutions were investigated using OM after annealing at temperature raging from 350°C to 450°C. Tensile tests at room temperature were performed to show the influence of annealing treatment on mechanical properties. In order to evaluate the formability in stamping processes, the Erichsen cupping tests were carried out and the Erichsen number were measured. As for springback, the V shaped air bending tests were achieved and the angle changes after springback were collected. The experimental results showed that Erichsen numbers increased by the annealing treatment, while springback angle decreased.

AbstractThe mechanical properties of B2 structural FeAl alloys, prepared by hot rolling, at elevated temperatures have been measured by tensile tests. The alloys of Fe-36.5at.%A1, Fe-36.5at.%A1-5at.%Cr and Fe-36.5at.%Al-2at.%Ti were taken for tensile tests at a temperature range from room temperature to 1000°C. The fracture surfaces of these alloys were observed by SEM. The results showed that elongations of these alloys increased with increasing temperature when the testing temperatures were above 600°C. All the maximum elongations of these alloys appeared at 1000°C and those of Fe-36.5A1, Fe-36.5Al-5Cr, and Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloys were 120%, 183% and 208% respectively. Fracture surfaces showed that failure of these alloys was by a combination of intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage below 700°C. but showed a ductile fracture above 700°C. The ductility and strength of ternary alloys were higher than that of binary FeAl alloy at elevated temperatures, especially at high temperature. The <111> dislocations and helices have been observed in Fe-36.5A1 alloy by TEM. The large elongation of FeAl alloy at high temperature resulted from <111> dislocations slipping and <111> helices climbing.

In order to investigate low temperature mechanical characteristics of HTPB (hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene binder) propellant, uniaxial tensile tests at both the low temperature and room temperature after short storage at low temperature were conducted and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) was used to observe fracture surfaces. The mechanical properties and stress-strain curves were obtained. The experimental results show that matrix tearing and particle brittle fracture occur in low temperature tensile test, but only particle/matrix interface de-wetting in room temperature tensile test. Low temperature stress-strain curves of propellant appear obviously yield region, and the yield degree is involved to the low temperature value. The low temperature mechanical properties such as maximum tensile stress, elastic modulus and strain at maximum stress against temperature are different from room temperature mechanical properties.

This research focused on studying the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) obtained by a powder metallurgy route. Aluminium powder was milled at room temperature for 5 h and using different atmospheres in order to achieve different amounts of reinforcement. The atmospheres employed were vacuum, confined ammonia, and vacuum combined with a short-time (5 and 10 min) of ammonia gas flow. After mechanical alloying, powders were consolidated by cold uniaxial pressing (850 MPa) and vacuum sintering (650 °C, 1 h). Hardness and tensile tests, on consolidated samples, were carried out at room temperature. Subsequently, the effect of temperature on both properties were evaluated. On one hand, the UTS and hardness were measured, again at room temperature, but after having subjected the sintered samples to a prolonged annealing (400 °C, 100 h). On the other hand, the tensile and hardness behaviour were also studied, while the samples are at high temperature, in particular 250 °C for UTS, and in the range between 100 and 400 °C for hardness. Results show that the use of ammonia gas allows achieving mechanical properties, at room and high temperature, higher than those of the commercial alloys EN AW 2024 T4, and EN AW 7075 T6.

Graphene nanosheet (GNS)-reinforced nickel-based superalloy FGH95 (GNSs/FGH95) matrix composites are prepared via the powder metallurgy approach. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and static tensile tests are used to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of GNS-reinforced nickel-based superalloy FGH95. Mechanical properties and failure behavior at room temperature and high temperature are studied. Static tensile tests at room temperature and high temperature confirm that the strength and plasticity of GNS-reinforced FGH95 have been improved, compared to the unreinforced superalloy. The results show that with the increase of temperature, the failure behavior of GNSs/FGH95 composite changes from the interface debonding of the GNSs/matrix to the failure of the FGH95 matrix. This work suggests that GNSs/FGH95 composite has great potential to be a structural material in aero-engine fields.

A novel continuous process of severe plastic deformation (SPD) named continuous close die forging (CCDF) is presented. The CCDF process combines all favorite advances of multidirectional forging and other SPD methods, and it can be easily scaled up for industrial use. Keeping constant both the cross section and the length of the sample, the new method promotes a refinement of the microstructure. The grain refinement and mechanical properties of commercially pure aluminum (AA1050) were studied as a function of the number of CCDF repetitive passes and the previous conditioning heat treatment. In particular, two different pre-annealing treatments were applied. The first one consisted of a reheating to 623 K (350 °C) for 1 h aimed at eliminating the effect of the deformation applied during the bar extrusion. The second pre-annealing consisted on a reheating to 903 K (630 °C) for 48 h plus cooling down to 573 K (300 °C) at 66 K/h. At this latter temperature, the material remained for 3 h prior to a final cooling to room temperature within the furnace, i.e., slow cooling rate. This treatment aimed at increasing the elongation and formability of the material. No visible cracking was detected in the workpiece of AA1050 processed up to 16 passes at room temperature after the first conditioning heat treatment, and 24 passes were able to be applied when the material was subjected to the second heat treatment. After processing through 16 passes for the low temperature pre-annealed samples, the microstructure was refined down to a mean grain size of 0.82 µm and the grain size was further reduced to 0.72 µm after 24 passes, applied after the high temperature heat treatment. Tensile tests showed the best mechanical properties after the high temperature pre-annealing and 24 passes of the novel CCDF method. A yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of 180 and 226 MPa, respectively, were obtained. Elongation to fracture was 18%. The microstructure and grain boundary nature are discussed in relation to the mechanical properties attained by the current ultrafine-grained (UFG) AA1050 processed by this new method.
