The tensile properties and superplasticity of a forged SP700 alloy with slow eutectoid element (1.5%Cr) addition were investigated in the present paper. The results of the microstructures showed that slow eutectoid element Cr has a significant influence on stabilizing the β phase and the SP700Cr alloy showed a uniform duplex and completely globular microstructure after annealing at 820 °C for 1 h and aging at 500 °C for 6 h. The results of the tensile tests showed that the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the alloy with optimized microstructure were 1312 MPa, 1211 MPa and 10% at room temperature, and the elongation was achieved to 1127% at 770 °C. Compared with that of the SP700 alloy, the strain rate sensitivity of the SP700Cr alloy showed a higher value. The microstructures after elevated temperature tensile tests showed that the higher density of dislocations and twins exists in SP700 alloy and the lower density of dislocations favor distribution in SP700Cr alloy. Based on the above results, the tensile properties and superplasticity of the forged SP700 alloy with 1.5% Cr addition was analyzed. In addition, microstructure characteristics were investigated by the TEM and EBSD technologies.

In this paper, the microstructure, deformability, tensile properties, and phase hardness of the Ti–43Al–2Cr–0.7Mo–0.1Y alloy with a high β phase content were investigated. Microstructural analysis showed that the β phase precipitated not only at the colony boundaries but also inside the lamellae due to its high content. A high-quality forging stock was prepared through one-step noncanned forging. The total deformation reached above 80%, suggesting that the alloy has good hot deformability compared to other TiAl alloys. The deformed microstructure was composed of fine and equiaxed grains due to dynamic recrystallization. The high β phase content was shown to contribute to the decomposition of the initial coarse lamellae. Tensile testing showed that the alloy has good room-temperature ductility, even if the β phase content reaches above 20%. This is inconsistent with a previous study that showed that a large amount of the hard β phase is detrimental to the room-temperature ductility of TiAl alloys. Nanoindentation testing showed that the hardness of the β phase in the current alloy is about 6.3 GPa, which is much lower than that in the Nb-containing TiAl alloys. Low hardness benefits the compatible deformation among various phases, which could be the main reason for the alloy’s good room-temperature ductility. Additionally, the influence of various β stabilizers on the hardness of the β phase was also studied. The β phase containing Nb had the highest hardness, whereas the β phase containing Cr had the lowest hardness.

Effects of extrusion on mechanical properties and damping capacity of Mg-1.8wt.%Cu -0.5wt.%Mn (MCM1805) alloy have been investigated. Tensile tests and dynamic mechanical analyzer were respectively used to measure tensile properties and damping capacity at room temperature of as-cast and as-extruded MCM1805 alloy. The microstructure was studied using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Granato-Lücke model was used to explain the influences of extrusion on damping capacity of MCM1805 alloy. The results showed that extrusion dramatically decreases the grain size but has little influence on phase composition and solute atoms concentration of MCM1805 alloy, and the grain refinement was the dominant reason for the obvious increase of tensile properties and decrease of internal friction of MCM1805 alloy.

Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy was caliber rolled at 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 °C. The effects of caliber rolling temperature on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. The room temperature tensile tests were carried out to failure at a strain rate of 1 x 10-4s-1. The nature of stress-strain curves obtained was found to vary with the temperature employed in caliber rolling. The yield strength and tensile strength followed a sinusoidal behaviour with increasing caliber rolling temperature but no such trend was noted in ductility. These variations in tensile properties were explained by the varying grain sizes obtained as a function of caliber rolling temperature.

The hot-rolled and extruded AZ31 specimens are subjected to tensile tests at room and elevated temperatures. At room temperature, the yield stress of the hot-rolled specimen is significantly higher than that of the extruded, the reason for which is related to the different textures developed in the two type specimens, as well as the different slip systems activated. At elevated temperatures, the strain rate sensitivity and the activation energy are obtained to characterize the deformation mechanism of the alloy during the temperature range of 423~573K.

This study presents the mechanical properties evaluation of two commercial grades of PVDFs, which were extruded with the same parameters but with different cooling temperatures. After processing, stress relaxation with 7% strain was imposed and tensile properties were measured. The cooling temperature after extrusion were 4°C, 23°C and 80°C. Then, the PVDFs were submitted to stress relaxation at 23°C and 7% strain. The as processed and after relaxation samples were characterized by FTIR, XRD, DSC and tensile tests at 23°C. The stress relaxation at 23 °C resulted in no change in volume fraction of crystallinity for PVDF A and B. The XRD and FTIR, for both PVDFs, showed that the crystalline phases were the same, for all cooling conditions and did not change after the stress relaxation. The tensile properties at room temperature showed that the yield stress was a little affect by the cooling temperature, while Young’s Modulus and yield strain were insensible to the cooling temperature. After the stress relaxation, these three tensile properties were slightly affected for both grades.

The influence of hydrogenation on microstructure and tensile properties of Ti40 alloy has been investigated. The microstructure observation reveals that a new phase called η phase with FCC structure appears at the grainboundaries when the hydrogen content above 0.3 wt.%. With increasing hydrogen contents, the strength first increases and then decreases, and the ductility decreases as the specimens tensioned at both room temperature and 700oC. These phenomenons are resulted from the solution strengthening of hydrogen addition in Ti40 alloy with single β phase. As the hydrogen content increases, the fracture mode changes from dimple to cleavage fracture for specimens tensioned at room temperature. When tested at 700oC, the morphology of fracture surfaces in the specimens are all characterized by polygonal grains and the fractograph exhibits typically “sugar candy” brittle fracture for the specimen with 0.5wt% H.

The dependence of the strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of α-Fe and Al 99.5, as typical representatives of fcc- and bcc-type metals, on the testing temperature and with respect to the microstructure is investigated. In particular, the differences between conventional grain size (CG) and ultrafine grain size (UFG) are pointed out. UFG Al 99.5 generally shows an elevated SRS compared to CG Al 99.5. In case of α-Fe the SRS of the UFG state is decreased at room temperature, but increased at 200 °C, compared to the CG state. It is shown that the SRS also influences the ductility of UFG-metals in tensile tests.

The changes of the tensile properties of the full lamellar TiAl alloy under pre-compression were studied by means of pre-compression damage tests and tensile tests. The study indicated that：The changes of the tensile property of the damaged alloy at room temperature were different from that of high temperature. The mechanical property of the TiAl alloy degrades because of the present of the cracks, which decrease the load area of the alloy.

This study systematically investigated the influence of multi-directional forging (MDF) on the microstructural evolution, hot deformation behavior, and tensile properties of a β-solidifying TiAl alloy. The initial lamellar microstructure of an as-cast alloy was remarkably refined and homogenized by three-step MDF. High temperatures and multi-pass deformations were conducive to the decomposition of lamellae. A crack-free billet was obtained through three-step MDF, with a deformation temperature of 1250 °C and a forging speed of 0.1 mm/s, indicating that MDF can be applied to β-solidifying TiAl alloys by the proper control of the alloy composition and process parameters. Microstructural observation showed that the billet mainly consists of fine and equiaxed γ grains and a small amount of β phase. The tensile properties of the multi-directional forged alloy were also significantly improved, due to microstructure refinement. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation (δ) at room temperature were 689.4 MPa, and 0.83%, respectively. The alloy exhibits excellent ductility at 700 °C. When the temperature was increased to 700 °C, the UTS decreased to 556 MPa and δ increased to 5.98%, indicating that the alloy exhibits excellent ductility at 700 °C. As the temperature further increased to 750 °C, δ dramatically increased to 46.65%, indicating that the ductile-brittle transition temperature of the alloy is between 700 °C and 750 °C.
