As-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy was solid dissolved at atmospheric temperature under different pressures (room pressure、2、3、4、5 and 6 Gpa) and under high-pressure (6 Gpa) at different temperatures (atmospheric temperature, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 °C). The microstructures of the products were characterized by optical microscope and their corrosion resistance was investigated. The results show that increasing the solution pressure at atmospheric temperature has no obvious effect on the microstructure of AZ91D, but decreases the corrosion resistance. Increasing the solution temperature under the high-pressure can obviously improve the microstructure of the alloy, and markedly increases the corrosion resistance, especially over 400 °C.

As-cast AM60 magnesium alloy was solid dissolved under a high-pressure of 4 Gpa at different temperatures. The microstructure of the products was observed by optical microscope and the corrosion resistance of the products was investigated. The results show that increasing temperature during solution treatment promotes the dissolution into α-Mg matrix of β-Mg17Al12 in the alloy and improves the corrosion resistance of AM60 alloy, especially for over 400 °C.

As-cast AZ61 magnesium alloy was treated by solution under a high-pressure of 3 Gpa at different temperatures, atmospheric temperature, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 °C. The microstructure of the products was observed by optical microscope. The mechanical properties of the products were investigated by brinell hardness tester and tensile testing. The results show that increasing solution temperature promotes the dissolution into α-Mg matrix of β-Mg17Al12 phase of AZ61 alloy, especially for over 400 °C. With increasing solution temperature, the tensile strength and elongation percentage of AZ61 increase gradually, but the hardness decreases.

The microstructure, hardness and corrosion resistance of AZ91D alloy were investigated under different solution treatments and artificial aging conditions.When ascast AZ91D alloy was heat treated at 415°C by solution treatmentfor 12 h and artificially aged at 200°C, the volume fraction of precipitates increased with the aging time up to 10 h.When ascast AZ91D alloy was treated at 430°C by solution treatment for 12 h and artificially aged at 200°C for 10h, the volume fraction of precipitates reached a peak value.The results of the corrosion test showed that a high corrosion resisting of the second phase precipitates was beneficial to improving the strength and hardness. Solution treatment at 445°C temperature for 12 h destroied the consecutiveness of β-Mg17Al12 phases.

In order to study the effect of solution temperature on corrosion resistance of Mg alloy for biomedical applications, microstructure and corrosion behavior of Mg-2.25Nd-0.11Zn-0.43Zr (NZ20K) alloy solution treated at different temperatures were investigated by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an electron dispersive spectroscope (EDS), electrochemical and mass loss tests. The results show that the grains grow and precipitations decreases with increasing the solution temperature. The corrosion rate decreases firstly and then increases with increasing solution temperature, and the best corrosion resistance of the NZ20K alloy is obtained at the temperature of 540 °C.

The second phase dissolution of Al-9.2Zn-2.0Mg-1.9Cu alloy conducted by various temperatures of 2h was researched with the help of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electrical conductivity and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The results gave rise to the second phase existence of Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 and Fe-containing phases in the as-extruded alloy. When the alloy solution treated with a temperature varied from 450°C to 470°C, a small quantity of Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 phase still existed in the alloy while its content exhibited a decrement trend with the solution temperature rose. For the alloy solution treated at a temperature of 475°C, Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 phase dissolved into the matrix completely while Fe-containing phase still remained. The electrical conductivity of quenched alloy decrease with the solution temperature increase and reached a minimum value at 470°C, and then rose slightly for the solution temperature of 475°C.

An oxide film was prepared on AZ91D magnesium alloy by anodizing in solution containing sodium metavanadate (NaVO3). The corrosion resistance of the substrate was investigated at a fixed current density 10 mA/cm2for 5 mins with different concentration of solution in the range of 0 – 1.0 g/l. The surface morphology, phase structure and corrosion resistance of oxide film were studied by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), potentiodynamic polarization technique and corrosion test.

By means of solution treatment at various temperatures, creep properties measurement and microstructure observation, the effects of heat treatment on composition segregation and creep properties were investigated. Results show that the various segregation extents of the elements are displayed in the alloys solution treated at different temperatures, and the segregation extent of the elements is improved with the solution temperature elevated, which may obvious improve the creep resistance of the alloy. And no rafted structure of the γ phase is detected in the alloy during creep at medium temperature. The deformation features of the alloy during creep at medium temperature are that the slipping of dislocations is activated in the γ matrix channels, and dislocations shearing into the γ phase may be decomposed to form the configuration of partials + stacking faults, which may hinder the cross-slipping of the dislocations to improve the creep resistance of the alloy.

The effect of common solution treatment, two-step solution treatment and aging, solution treatment and aging (STA) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a new low cost titanium alloy used in aviation field were investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile test. The results show that a typical equiaxed structure can be obtained by common solution treatment leading to a good combination of strength and plasticity. Besides, solution heat treating in the β region and subsequently ageing at a low temperature results in a significant increase in mechanical strength and a little decrease in plasticity. When the solution temperature is at α+β two-phase region (895), the low cost titanium alloy acquires the best combination of strength and ductility.

Vacuum annealing was carried out for the SMAT treated CP-Ti sample at different temperatures. The structure and the properties of the SMAT sample before and after the annealing were analyzed by means of the optical microscope, hardness and polarization curve testing. The results show that, when the annealing temperature of surface nanocrystallized CP-Ti treated CP-Ti (SMAT) was below 350°C, the microstructure and hardness of nanostructured surface was stability, and its corrosion resistance was improved compared to non-annealing one. In particular, the corrosion resistance at 150°C was better than that of the original CP-Ti.

The effects of solution treatment on the microstructure evolution of hot-extruded Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy were investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tensile testing, and the effects of solution temperature and time on the mechanical properties of the alloys were analyzed. The results indicated that, the γ-phases precipitated at first and then dissolved with the extension of the solution time during solutionizing at 800 C,the volume fraction of theγ-phase reached its peak at about 1h. However when solutionizing at 860°C, theγ-phase solely dissolved gradually with the extension of the solution time . In addition, a small amount of annealing twins appeared intragranular in the process of solution treatment. The γ-phase dissolution and the grain growth of α (Cu) were the main softening factors of the alloy during the solution treatment. Through overall consideration, the optimum solution treatment was annealing at 840°Cfor 1 h.
