Microalloying vanadium can change the segregation state of Nb element in IN718 alloy, reduce the formation of harmful Laves phase and refine the dendritic structure of IN718 alloy during the laser process. Therefore, IN718 alloys with V content from 0.081 to 1.88 wt.% were prepared and evaluated. Metallographic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the corresponding morphology, structure, and distribution of elements. First of all, it was found that the addition of V refines the grain size of IN718 alloy and reduces the primary dendrite arm spacing. Secondly, adding V to IN718 alloy can reduce the porosity of the cladding layer. The elements are uniformly distributed in the cladding layer, and the addition of vanadium reduces the segregation degree of the Nb element, which is conducive to homogenization. In addition, microhardness and residual stress were also investigated. Finally, the addition of vanadium was shown to have no apparent effect on the tensile strength and yield strength but can significantly improve the elongation of IN718 alloy. In conclusion, the microstructure and mechanical properties of IN718 alloy with 0.081 wt.% vanadium content provide a new solution to improve the application level of IN718 alloy in laser cladding.

The finite element model (FE) of temperature field of straight thin-walled samples in laser cladding IN718 was established, and the growth of microstructure was simulated by cellular automata (CA) method through macro-micro coupling (CA-FE). The effects of different cooling conditions on microstructure, hardness, and properties of laser-cladding layer were studied by designing cooling device. The results show that the simulation results are in good agreement with the microstructure of the cladding layer observed by the experiment. With the scanning strategy of reducing laser power layer-by-layer, the addition of water cooling device and the processing condition of 0.7 mm Z-axis lift, excellent thin-walled parts can be obtained. With the increase of cladding layers, the pool volume increases, the temperature value increases, the temperature gradient, cooling rate, solidification rate, K value gradually decrease, and eventually tend to be stable, in addition, the hardness shows a fluctuating downward trend. Under the processing conditions of layer-by-layer power reduction and water cooling device, the primary dendrite arm spacing reduced to about 8.3 μm, and the average hardness at the bottom of cladding layer increased from 260 HV to 288 HV. The yield strength and tensile strength of the tensile parts prepared under forced water cooling increased to a certain extent, while the elongation slightly decreased.

High performance Mg–6Al–3Sn–0.25Mn–xZn alloys (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt %) without rare earth were designed. The effects of different Zn contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. The addition of Zn obviously refines the as-cast alloys dendritic structure because of the increase in the number in the second phase. For the as-extruded alloys, an appropriate amount of Zn promotes complete recrystallization, thus increasing the grain size. As the Zn content increases, the texture gradually evolves into a typical strong basal texture, which means that the basal slip is difficult to initiate. Meanwhile, the addition of Zn promotes the precipitation of small-sized second phases, which can hinder the dislocation movement. The combination of texture strengthening and precipitation strengthening is the main reason for the improvement of alloys’ strength.

The spheroidal grains in billets used for semi-solid casting are generally manufactured by electromagnetic stirring (EMS) during the casting process. This method however, is not economically applicable for small quantities of the thixo billets. Swirled Enthalpy Equilibration Device (SEED) has been developed as a rheocasting process, and the SEED process is of interest for developing new thixo alloys, as well as for optimizing the thixocasting processes for high quality components. The objective of this paper is to compare the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 319s billets and castings produced using EMS and SEED feed materials. The experimental results show that for as-cast billets made from SEED process, a well-developed spheroidal grain structure is distributed throughout the cross-section of the billet, while for as-cast EMS billets, the grain structure is inhomogeneous, i.e., a dendritic structure was present adjacent to the surface of the billet, while a uniform, spheroidal structure was present at the centre. After the thixocasting process, however, the both SEED and EMS billets have well-developed, spheroidal grain structures. Mechanical properties of thixocast and T61 heat treated components are comparable for the both SEED and EMS billets.

Cracking Sensitivity

Titanium-based coatings reinforced by in situ synthesized TiB and TiC were deposited on Ti6Al4V by laser cladding. The effects of Y2O3 on microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated. The coating without Y2O3 is mainly composed of a-Ti cellular dendrites and an eutecticum in which a large number of coarse and fine needle-shaped TiB and a few equiaxial TiC particles are homogeneously embedded. A small amount of Y2O3 addition can refine the microstructure by transforming a-Ti grains from cellular dendrites to columnar or equiaxial crystals, and can increase the volume fraction of the reinforcements. The addition of Y2O3 can also increase microhardness and reduce the cracking sensitivity of the coating.
