The effects of solid solution temperature on the structures and properties of TC16 titanium alloy bars that made solid solution treatment in 780°C, 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, respectively, the processing time for 30min, then cooled in the air were studied. The results show that during solid solution treatment under 800°C, the alloy structures are the primary ɑ phase and the metastable β phase, while solid solution temperature rise to 800°C, the alloy structures begin to appear ɑ" martensite phase. With the increase of solid solution temperature, the alloy grain grow up somewhat, material tensile strength increases gradually, yield strength firstly decreases and then increases, elongation at break firstly increases and then decreases, percentage reduction of area at break decreases gradually. Solid solution state of TC16 titanium alloy bars are not suitable for cold heading forming, strengthening the titanium alloy must be subsequent artificial aging treatment.

The aim of this study is to explore alloy 718 that treated at an optimal HIP process, and then imposed various solid-solution temperatures and aging treatment. The experimental results indicated that Laves and δ precipitations obviously appeared within the grain boundary, under HIP treatment and lower solid-solution temperatures (940°C), which would result in poor mechanical properties. However, Laves and δ phase can be completely dissolved at 1020°C 1 hour solid-solution treatment. The tensile strength was increased to 1331.5 MPa, and elongation reached up to 6.1% under a 1020°C solid-solution and aging treatment. Increasing the solid-solution temperature to 1060°C would cause parts of the NbC to dissolve, thus a large number of the thin sheet-shaped NbC would appear in the solid-solution and aging specimen. The yield stress is slight increase, but a lot of NbC precipitations will result in the decreasing tensile strength (1298.8 MPa) and elongation (5.4%). As a result, the optimal solid-solution treatment parameter of alloy 718 is 1020°C for 1-hour.

The effect of yttrium addition and heat treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure of AM60 magnesium alloy have been investigated using X-ray phase analysis, microstructure investigation, tensile test, hardness measurement and fracture surfaces analysis. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the alloys were obviously improved with the addition of yttrium no more than 1.0%. The reinforcement of the alloys resulted from the appearance of Al2Y phase. After solid-solution treatment (T4), the Mg17Al12 phase almost dissolved in Mg matrix, but the rare earth compounds Al2Y phase was rather stable. The ultimate tensile strength σb was improved, but the yield strength σ0.2 and elongation δ were only slightly changed. After solid-solution + aging treatment (T6), the Mg17Al12 phase precipitated again and their morphology was changed. The yield strength σ0.2 was improved.

The microstructure and properties of 7003 aluminum alloy before and after aging under various solid solution treatment parameters have been studied by electronic tensile machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). It’s showed that the strength decreased while the ductility increased with raising the solid solution temperature before aging; the strength decreased and then increased while the ductility increased and then decreased with increasing the solid solution time. The strength of 7003 aluminum alloy after aging were evidently higher than those before aging, and the samples solutioned at 743 K for 70 min were of the best mechanical properties with YS=286 MPa, UTS=345 MPa, E=15.5%, which are higher than those of the original alloy by 2.1%, 1.5% and 29.1% respectively. Hence 743 K/70 min is one of the best solid solution regimes.

AbstractThe solution-aging treatment parameters, including solution temperature, cooling rate and aging temperature, have significant influences on the microstructures and comprehensive mechanical properties of titanium alloy. In this work, the detailed microevolution behaviors of Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al alloy under different solution and aging conditions have been investigated through a series of heat-treatment experiments. The results of solution-treatment experiments reveal that the content of αp-phase is reduced to zero as the solution temperature is raised to a certain α → β critical transformation point. Recrystallized β-grains can be observed at the solution temperature of 820°C. In addition, the cooling way (air cooling or water cooling) has little influence on the microevolution behaviors for this alloy during the solution-treatment process. As for the solution-aging-treatment experiments, the results reveal that αs-phases are precipitated from the supersaturated β-phase, and the fraction of αs-phase increases with increasing aging temperature. However, the precipitated α-grains intend to coalesce and coarsen as the aging temperature raises above 510°C. Therefore, the advocated solution-aging-treatment program is solution treatment at 820°C with air cooling followed by aging treatment at 510°C with air cooling.

A novel Al-12.7Si-0.7Mg welding wire was successfully produced via DC casting, extrusion, roll die drawing and hole die drawing. An investigation was performed on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints using the as-produced special filler wire in different solid solution and artificial aging treatment conditions. The results showed that the as-produced Al-12.7Si-0.7Mg welding wire was an ideal special wire of the Al-12.7Si-0.7Mg wrought alloy and the homogeneous welded joints proved to be heat-treatable. Solid solution treatment and artificial aging treatment had significant influence on the microstructure, microhardness and tensile properties of the as-welded joints. A transformation of microstructures from a coarse structure to a fine structure occurred in the welded joints after the heat treatment. The microhardness and the strength of the joints increased remarkably as the solution temperature and aging time increased.

The Ag-bearing antibacterial stainless steel has attracted substantial attention in the field of bacterial proliferation prevention. In this study, a Cu–Ag alloy was incorporated into a CD4MCu duplex stainless steel (DSS) to produce a good antibacterial property. The Ag-bearing CD4MCu duplex stainless steel samples were conducted solid solution treatment at various temperatures. The effects of the solid solution temperature on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties, as well as silver ion release characteristics and antibacterial properties were investigated. Results show that apart from the original α, γ phases, Ag-bearing phases were formed in all samples after solid solution at different temperatures. The volume fraction of α and Ag-bearing phases decrease with increasing solution temperature. The tensile strength, hardness, elongation, and corrosion resistance first decrease and then increase along with the increase in the solid solution temperature. The heat treatment conducted at 1150 °C increases the strength, the hardness, the pitting corrosion resistance, and the antimicrobial capability simultaneously. The antibacterial rates of all the Ag-bearing CD4MCu duplex stainless steel samples after solid solution treatment are above 99%, indicating their good anti-bacterial capabilities.

To obtain advanced materials through the development of traditional materials without the addition of another alloying element, advanced heat treatment can be used. One such innovative process is a thermo-hydrogen treatment (THT); it facilitates a purposeful adjustment of an improved microstructure using hydrogen as a temporary alloying element within heat treatment. In this paper, the five-step process of homogenization, hydrogenation, solution treatment, dehydrogenation, and aging was used in THT. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), backscattered electron (BSE), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilized to analyze the phases and phase transformations in Ti-6Al-4V. Three different homogeneous microstructures were established for the investigation using different homogenization parameters values. The hydrogenation was carried out for these microstructures via hydrogen gas charging leading to hydrogen concentrations for the formation of hydride (δ TiH2). After the solution treatment at a temperature above β transus temperature (Tβ), the metastable phases of a martensitic structure consisting of a mixture of α ́ (hcp) and α ́ ́ (orthorhombic) was found. Steps 4 and 5 of THT were a vacuum annealing (hydrogen degassing) followed by aging treatment. The aging treatment was applied to complete the martensite phase decomposition and the precipitation of two phases. By means of this THT cycle, very fine equiaxed microstructures could be established. These microstructures consist of the αs phase (secondary α) in the β phase matrix and the α2 phase (Ti3Al) in the αp phase. The precipitation of these phases increases the strength of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and, consequently, enhances the mechanical properties. No evidence of the δ phase was found.
