Titanium alloys are widely used due to their high performance and low density in comparison with iron-based alloys. Their applications extend to aerospace and military in order to utilize their high resistance for corrosion. Understanding the mechanical properties and microstructure of titanium alloys is critical for performance optimization, as well as their implications on strength, plasticity, and fatigue. Ti-6Al-4V is an α+β two-phase alloy and is considered one of the most commonly used titanium alloys for weight reduction and high-performance. To avoid manufacturing defects, such as porosity and composition segregation, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is used to consolidate alloy powder. The HIP method is also used to facilitate the manufacturing of complex structures that cannot be made with forging and casting. In the current research, Ti-6Al-4V alloys were manufactured with HIP and the impact on heat treatment under different temperatures and sintering durations on the performance and microstructure of the alloy was studied. The results show changes in mechanical properties and microstructure with the increase of temperature and duration.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of IN738LC superalloy made by investment castings followed by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) treatment have been investigated. The results revealed that after HIP treatment, the microporosities have been almost removed and the density rose by 0.21%. The eutectic size became smaller and the fraction decreased. The γ' phase was more regular and also increased in size, while a large number of secondary γ' phase appeared. With HIP treatment, the impact toughness increased from 5.0J ~ 7.0J to 8J ~ 9J and tensile strength at 200°C ~ 800°C was improved by approximately 3.2%~19.7%. In addition, the ductility and the stress rupture life have also been greatly improved as well.

The composition, structure and mechanical properties of samples obtained from the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, by selective laser melting and electron beam melting processes regarding production of responsible aviation parts were carrying-out at present article.A comparative study of macro- and microstructure, mechanical properties has been carried out after inherent of Ti-6Al-4V heat treatment with or without prior hot isostatic pressing.It was established that the advent in specimens fractures and microstructure pores and non-melt inclusions of a granules condition obligatory hot isostatic pressing of a responsible parts when this kinds of defects significantly releases and correspondingly best complex of mechanical properties are obtained.The powders from titanium Ti-6Al-4V alloy were produce by inert gas (argon) spraying process and had a different particle sizing distribution: 20-50 microns for selective laser melting and 45-105 microns for electron beam melting.The microstructure of the specimens prepared using the studied production processes features an elongated lamellar alpha phase in the transformated epitaxially grown beta-matrix and is typical for Ti-6Al-4V alloy in a heat-treated condition.It has been noted that the lamellar alpha phase in the structure of the studied specimens after hot isostatic pressing is distinguished by larger sizes in width as compared to the specimens prior to hot isostatic pressing processing.Mechanical properties of the specimens produced by selective laser melting or electron beam melting processes meet the specification requirements. Hot isostatic pressing processing results in a remarkable improvement of the impact strength.  Authors should be pointed out that application of additive technologies in the manufacture of aerospace parts requires extensive research&development works, and testing efforts to confirm repeatability of alloy characteristics. A mandatory procedure of the production process and material approval shall be conducted to ensure compliance with aircraft flight safety standards and regulations.

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) of gas atomized powder has its major application for superalloys and high alloyed steels as e.g. tool steels, high speed steels and stainless steel. The HIP route offers not only finer microstructure and thus better mechanical properties in these alloys but also the possibility to make near net shape end products with isotropic properties. The expansion of the PM HIP Technology towards lower alloyed steels has been considered uneconomical compared to conventionally produced parts and sometimes not even feasible from a technical point of view. The major drawback has been the often reported inferior impact energy. This technical report will address how various parameters in the PM HIP process will influence the mechanical properties of end products and particularly causes and possible solutions to the impact problem.

A simple technological method is proposed and tested experimentally, which allows for the improvement of mechanical properties in sheet two-phase high-strength titanium alloys VT23 and VT23M on the finished product (rolled metal), due to impact-oscillatory loading. Under impact-oscillatory loading and dynamic non-equilibrium processes (DNP) are realized in titanium alloys, leading to the self-organization of the structure. As a result, the mechanical properties of titanium alloys vary significantly with subsequent loading after the realization of DNP. In this study, the test modes are found, which can be used in the production conditions.

The mechanical properties mainly tensile properties, impact toughness and high-cycle fatigue properties, of two-phase Al-20Zn alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) via equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) using route A up to 2 passes were studied. The ECAE almost completely eliminated as-cast dendritic microstructure including casting defects such as micro porosities. A refined microstructure consisting of elongated micro constituents, α and α+η eutectic phases, formed after ECAE via route A. As a result of this microstructural change, mechanical properties mainly the impact toughness and fatigue performance of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy increased significantly through the ECAE. The rates of increase in fatigue endurance limit are approximately 74 % after one pass and 89 % after two passes while the increase in impact toughness is 122 %. Also the yield and tensile strengths of the alloy increase with ECAE. However, no considerable change occurred in hardness and percentage elongation of the alloy. It was also observed that the ECAE changed the nature of the fatigue fracture characteristics of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy.
