Effects of microstructures on mechanical properties of Ti-63 titanium alloy

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-63 pancakes were investigated under different heat-treatment modes. Pancake No. 1, with an as-forged bimodal structure, was β annealed at 930°C for 1 h. Its structure was changed to a Widmanstatten structure with continuous grain boundary α phase and long lamellar α phase. The pancake showed a good combination of strength, ductility and fracture toughness. Pancake No. 2, with an as-forged bimodal structure, was aged at 540°C for 8 h after annealing at 930°C for 1 h. Other than the fine secondary α precipitates, it showed a similar microstructure to that of pancake No. 1. The fine precipitates can enhance the pancake’s strength while reducing the ductility and fracture toughness. Pancake No. 3, with an as-forged basket-weave structure, was annealed at 750°C for 1 h. Its structure was nearly unchanged and it achieved a better ductility but a slightly lower fracture toughness than pancake No. 1.

针对Inconel 718合金的不同用途,分析研究了4种常用热处理工艺对Inconel 718合金组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明:固溶温度超过1020℃时,奥氏体晶粒显著长大。合金中主要析出相有MC、δ、γ’和γ″相。δ相沿晶界分布,1025℃固溶时呈颗粒状少量析出;950℃固溶时呈块状大量析出;直接时效时呈网状不连续分布。同时,δ相对合金的晶粒度影响较大,且其析出数量和形态决定了合金的韧塑性,γ″、γ’相的析出量和尺寸与晶粒尺寸决定了合金的强度变化。     

Effects of solution and aging treatments on microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy welded joints

The effects of solution and aging treatments on the microstructures and mechanical properties of tungsten inert gas arc welded AZ61 magne-sium alloy joints were investigated by microstructural observations,microhardness tests and tensile tests.The results showed that the solution treatment led to the β-Mg17Al12 particles dissolved into the α-Mg grains.Hence,the microhardness of the fusion zone and the ultimate tensile strength of the welded joints were the lowest.With the increase of the aging temperature,the volume fraction of the β-Mg17Al12 particles in the fusion zone increased and this enhanced the microhardness of the fusion zone gradually.Also,the elongation of the welded joints was in-creased slightly with the increase of the volume fraction of the β-Mg17Al12 particles.However,the ultimate tensile strength of the welded joints increased at first and dropped at 190 ?C due to cracks formed at the boundaries of the β-Mg17Al12 particles.

Effects of Yb addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of 2519A aluminum alloy plate

The effects of Yb content on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 2519A aluminum alloy plate were investigated by means of tensile test,optical microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer.The results show that addition of 0.17% (mass fraction) Yb increases the density of θ' particles of the 2519A alloy plate and reduces the coarsening speed rate of θ' phase at 300 ℃.Therefore,tensile strength is enhanced from 483.2 MPa to 501.0 MPa at room temperature and is improved from 139.5 MPa to 169.4 MPa at 300 ℃.The results also show that with the addition of 0.30% (mass fraction) Yb,the mechanical properties increase at 300 ℃ and decrease at room temperature.With Yb additions,the Al7.4Cu9.6Yb2 phase is found whilst the segregated phases of as-cast alloys along grain boundaries become discontinuous,thin and spheroidized.     

Inconel783高温合金螺栓的组织与织构

研究了Inconel783高温合金螺栓的组织结构与织构特点,重点关注β相的分布与析出特征,并研究了高温应力松弛前后组织与织构的变化情况。结果表明,螺栓试样γ相晶粒分布较为均匀,同时存在弥散分布的γ′相析出。大颗粒的β相沿螺栓轴向成串分布,其分布特征与γ相晶粒取向及尺寸无关,主要由冶炼方式与热加工过程决定;较小的β相在γ相晶界与晶内、连续或孤立析出。织构方面,γ相与β相均未表现出强织构,与热加工过程中变化的多向应力状态有关。以螺栓轴向(x方向)为试样参考方向,γ相存在一定的<111>//x与<100>//x择优,其中前者强度稍高。高温应力松弛试验后,γ相组织、β相分布与各相织构均较为稳定。对该合金中发挥重要作用的小尺寸β相分析发现,其析出行为受到γ相基体取向与晶界特征影响,其中<111>取向晶粒内析出较多,孪晶界上β相析出不占优势。因此,通过控制热加工与固溶处理过程中γ晶粒尺寸与取向择优,有望调控其析出特征。     

Corrosion properties of inconel 617 alloy after heat treatment at elevated temperature

Inconel alloys find wide application in industry as high-temperature resistance materials. In the present study, refurbishment of the Inconel 617 alloy after 37,000 h of operation in the field is carried out through the heat-treatment process. The electrochemical response of the heat-treated alloy is determined through potentiodynamic testing of the surfaces. The heat-treatment process is carried out at 1175 °C for 1 and 2 h in an air free furnace. The corrosion rate is estimated from TAFEL and polarization measurements. The surface morphology after the electrochemical tests is studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the material characterization at the surface is carried out using energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). It is found that the corrosion resistance improves considerably for the workpieces subjected to 1 h heat treatment. The depletion of Cr and Mo at grain boundaries results in excessive pitting in this region. Moreover, enrichment of Cr at the surface after 1 h heat treatment reduces the corrosion current.

Tensile properties of haynes alloy 230 and inconel 617 after long exposures to LiF-22CaF2 and vacuum at 1093 K

As a part of a study of a space-based thermal energy storage system utilizing the latent heat of fusion of the eutectic salt LiF-20CaF₂ (mole%), the two wrought Ni-base superalloys Haynes alloy 230 and Inconel 617 were subjected to molten salt, its vapor, and vacuum for periods as long as 10,000 h at 1093 K. Following exposure, the microstructures were characterized, and samples from each superalloy were tensile tested between 77 and 1200 K. Neither the structure nor mechanical properties revealed evidence for additional degradation due to exposures to the salt. Although some loss in tensile properties was noted, particularly at 77 K, this reduction could be ascribed to the influence of simple aging at 1093 K.

Effects of cold rolling on precipitates in inconel 718 alloy

The morphology, microstructure, and the volume fractions of γ″ phase and δ phase that occur during cold rolling and double aging of Inconel 718 alloy were investigated. Two treatments were developed to produce either single-pass cold rolling or double-pass cold rolling. Cold rolling not only induced the γ″ phase precipitation, but also prompted the γ″→δ phase transformation. Double-pass cold rolling enhanced the δ phase volume fraction, but decreased the γ″ phase volume fraction. The dimension of γ″ particle decreased as cold rolling reduction increased.
