Cu-1 wt. % Cr was clad between Cu-Ni-Zn plates to form 3-layered composite by high pressure torsioning (HPT) at room temperature and theirmicrostructure and mechanical propertieswereexamined. No intermetallic compounds were observed at the interfaces in the as-HPTed and heat-treated 3-layered composite plates. The strength of as-HPTed composite plate reached up to 650 MPa with the ductility of 7 %. After heat treatment at 500oC, Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad plate exhibited the strength up to 420 MPa and the ductility of 32 %. The clad plate fractured all together at the same time without discontinuous drop of the stress until final fracture. The excellent mechanical reliability and the good interfacial bonding strength can be attributed to the absence of detrimental interfacial reaction compounds between Cu-Ni-Zn and Cu-Cr.

Mechanical properties of 3-ply Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad composite plates prepared by explosive bonding and cold-rolling. No intermetallic compounds were observed at the Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr interface after explosive bonding and cold-rolling and heat-treatment at 723K. The strength of as-rolled clad plate reached up to 575MPa with the ductility of 30% after heat treatment at 723K for 1 hour. The strength dropped to 510MPa and the ductility increased to 48% after heat treatment at 723K for 1.5 hour. There are no stepwise drops of the flow stress before final fracture, meaning three plates were bonded together until the last moment of the stress-strain curve. The observation of the fractured specimens revealed no interface separation even after fracture. The excellent mechanical reliability and the good interfacial bonding strength can be attributed to the absence of detrimental interfacial reaction compounds between Cu-Ni-Zn and Cu-Cr after annealing.

3-ply Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad composite plates were prepared by roll bonding at 823K and their properties were characterized. No intermetallic compounds were observed at Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr interfaces in the as-rolled and heat-treated Cu/Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad plates. The strength of as-rolled clad plate reached up to 420MPa with the ductility of 13%. After heat treatment at 723K for 1.5 hours, the strength of Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad composite plate dropped to 340 MPa and the ductility increased to 20%. With annealing at 723K, there is no drastic drop of the stress before final fracture, meaning three plates were bonded together until the last part of the stress-strain curve. The peak of the conductivity (>70% of IACS) was attained after aging for 1.5 hrs, compatible with the typical peak aging condition of Cu-Cr alloy.

High boron alloyed stainless steel composite plates with different Ti content by cladding casting and hot forming process were fabricated. The mechanical properties of composite plates were analyzed after solution treatment. The results show that the composite plate has optimal microstructure and properties at 1100°C solution temperature, holding for 4h.The comprehensive properties of the composite plates are improved with the increase of Ti content, but excess Ti content can lower the plasticity. The elongation and the tensile strength of composite plate reaches 29% and 527MPa respectively, the mechanical properties can meet and exceed the supply standard requirements in ASTM A887-89 of U.S. when the reasonable content of Titanium is about 5%.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy was heated to above the β phase transformation temperature with two different cooling speeds: air cooling and furnace cooling, in order to generate a full thin lamellar structure and a fully coarse lamellar structure, respectively. Then the alloy in two heat-treated conditions was processed at room temperature up to 10 turns by high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing. Investigations were carried out to study the effect of the different initial lamellar plate thicknesses on the microstructure development during HPT processing, and the corresponding superplastic behaviour at the selected low testing temperatures of 773 - 923 K.

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is one of the major severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedures where disk metals generally achieve exceptional grain refinement at ambient temperatures. HPT has been applied for the consolidation of metallic powders and bonding of machining chips whereas very limited reports examined the application of HPT for the fabrication of nanocomposites. An investigation was initiated to evaluate the potential for the formation of a metal matrix nanocomposite (MMNC) by processing two commercial metal disks of Al-1050 and ZK60 magnesium alloy through HPT at room temperature. Evolutions in microstructure and mechanical properties including hardness and plasticity were examined in the processed disks with increasing numbers of HPT turns up to 5. This study demonstrates the promising possibility for using HPT to fabricate a wide range of hybrid MMNCs from simple metals.

Compact AM50 alloy components were cast by Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) process. The microstructure and mechanical properties of cast components were investigated under as-cast and heat treated states. It was found that the microstructure of LPDC AM50 is composed of α-Mg and second phases - Mg17Al12 and Al8Mn5. Compared with Gravity die casting, LPDC AM50 alloy had much coarser grains and higher density, with smaller sizes and less content of second phases. The density of AM50 alloy by LPDC process was ρ=1.7836g/cm3, with increase of 0.45% based on Gravity die casting and much more increase compared with high pressure die casting. The as-cast mechanical properties by LPDC process were: σ0.2=57.8Mpa, σb=192.3Mpa, δ=8.7%. These of Gravity die casting were: σ0.2=53Mpa, σb=173.4Mpa, δ=8.1%. UTS in LPDC increased about 20MPa, with better YTS and Elongation. Compared with that of high pressure die cast AM50, the YTS of LPDC was much lower, with comparable UTS and Elongation. The mechanical properties of the heat treated AM50 alloy were still in the same level of as-cast state. AM50 alloy by LPDC process is not necessary subjected to tempering treatment.

Al-2 wt. % Si alloys with and without 0.25 wt. % scandium additions were processed by high-pressure torsion up to five turns at room temperature under a pressure of 6.0 GPa. Microstructural examination of the as-cast Al-2Si-0.25Sc alloy revealed the presence of Al3Sc precipitates which refined the Al grain structure, whereas no major changes were observed in the morphology of the Si particles. Processing by HPT of both experimental alloys revealed submicrometer grains with uniformly distributed Si particles. The mechanical properties were obtained using hardness measurements and the ball-indentation technique. The results show the hardness increased in the first turn of HPT and further increased with increasing numbers of turns. In addition, the hardness values were lower at the centers and continuously increased towards the edges of the disks. The difference in hardness values between the centre and the edge decreased with increasing turns, thereby suggesting an increasing homogeneity with increasing processing. The scandium addition and HPT processing of the Al-2Si alloy strongly influences the grain refinement and mechanical properties. The grain size reduction in the Al-2Si alloy was similar to Al whereas the presence of Sc in Al-2Si during HPT processing was responsible for large precipitation networks and a submicrometer grain formation.

Warm hydroformability and mechanical properties of pre- and post- heat treated Al6061 tubes were investigated in this study. For the investigation, as-extruded, fully annealed and T6- treated Al 6061 seamless tubes were prepared. To evaluate the hydroformability, uni-axial tensile test and free bulge test were performed at room temperature and 200ÓC. Also mechanical properties of hydroformed part at various pre- and post-heat treatments were evaluated by tensile test. The tensile test specimens were obtained from hexagonal shaped tube hydroformed at 200ÓC forming temperature. As a result, hydroformability of fully annealed tube is 25% higher than that of extruded tube. The tensile strength and elongation were more than 330MPa and 12%, respectively, when hydroformed part was T6 treated after warm hydroforming. However, hydroformed part using T6 pre treated tube represents low elongation, 8%. Therefore, the T6 treatment after hydroforming for as-extruded tube is proved to be the most cost-effective among various processing conditions.

This study evaluated the effect of a heat treatment on the potential application of AlMg5Si2Mn die casting alloy as a substitute for wrought aluminium alloy products. The proposed heat treatment was intended to increase the workability of the AlMg5Si2Mn alloy, which is typically not malleable due to the presence of interconnected brittle phases. By disintegrating interconnected eutectic Mg2Si phases into fragmented particles and dissolving Mg-rich phases the workability was increased. Subsequently, heat treated samples were subjected to high-pressure torsion process. The microstructure of the heat treated and deformed samples were characterized using light and electron microscope. Hardness measurements were used to investigate the influence the number of HPT revolutions on mechanical properties.
