The combination of two versatile processing routes: cryomilling and spark plasma sintering (SPS) was employed in the present study for fabrication of bulk Al5356-B4C nanocomposites. This approach resulted in large microhardness and flexural strengths values in the consolidated samples of 244 +/- 2.06 HV and 707 MPa respectively. While cryomilling provided the combined advantage of homogenous dispersion of the reinforcement in the matrix as well as nanostructuring of the Al-5356 phase, the SPS facilitated the solid state consolidation of the metal matrix composite (MMC) in one single step at very high sintering rates and very short dwelling times. No additional processing steps such as forging or hot extrusion were necessary to achieve powder consolidation. The resulted samples exhibited two to three times higher microhardness values than the monolithic micron sized un-reinforced alloy. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Summary: The microstructure and elevated temperature mechanical properties of a precipitation hardenable Nickel based superalloy, Rene 41, fabricated by laser powder bed fusion followed by two different heat treatment regimes were studied. Results showed that sub-solvus heat treatment led to the highest elongation at break, while super-solvus heat treatment resulted in the highest work hardening rate during deformation.

Dependence of mechanical properties on crystallographic orientation in nickel-based superalloy Hastelloy X fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Oscar Sanchez-Mata, Xianglong Wang, Jose Alberto Muniz-Lerma, Sila Ece Atabay, Mohammad Attarian Shandiz, Mathieu Brochu

Summary: Solid solution strengthened Ni-based superalloy Hastelloy X parts were fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing process to develop a strong crystallographic texture. Tensile properties at room temperature were highly dependent on crystallographic orientation, with unique combinations of strength and ductility observed. Deformation twinning was found in the <110> and <111> samples, but not in the <100> orientation, with significant impact of crystallographic orientation on effective stacking fault energies and critical stress for deformation twinning.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of parent austenite grain refinement on the intervariant boundary network in a lath martensitic steel. It found that refining the parent austenite grain led to a decrease in the fraction of certain boundaries in the martensite and an increase in the connectivity of low energy boundaries, ultimately improving the impact toughness.

The interdependence of the thermal and mechanical cycling behaviour in Ti2448 (Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn, wt%)

N. L. Church, C. E. P. Talbot, L. D. Connor, S. Michalik, N. G. Jones

Summary: Metastable beta Ti alloys based on the Ti-Nb system have attracted attention due to their unique properties. However, the unstable cyclic behavior of these alloys has hindered their widespread industrial use. Recent studies have shown that internal stresses, including those from dislocations, may be responsible for this behavior. This study demonstrates that inter-cycle thermal treatments can mitigate the unstable cyclic behavior, providing a significant breakthrough in our understanding of Ti-Nb superelastic materials.

Effect of grain orientation and precipitates on the superelasticity of Fe-Ni-Co-Al polycrystalline alloys

Kang Du, Yang Zhang, Guangda Zhao, Tao Huang, Liyuan Liu, Junpeng Li, Xiyu Wang, Zhongwu Zhang

Summary: This paper systematically investigated the evolution of microstructure in Fe-Ni-Co-Al polycrystalline alloys and its effects on mechanical properties. The results revealed that the migration of grain boundaries in different processes is driven by different factors, which impacts the grain orientation and precipitate formation. In the process of directional recrystallization, grains with specific orientations grow in the grain boundary region and form the dominant orientation, while grains with lower migration rate form the minor orientation. The alloy produced through directional recrystallization exhibited good recoverable strain and superelastic strain, while the alloy produced through solid solution treatment showed no evident superelastic behavior.

Effect of thermomechanical processing on compressive mechanical properties of Ti-15Mo additively manufactured by laser metal deposition

Edohamen Awannegbe, Liang Chen, Yue Zhao, Zhijun Qiu, Huijun Li

Summary: This study employed laser metal deposition to additively manufacture Ti-15Mo wt% alloy, and subsequently subjected it to post-fabrication uniaxial thermomechanical processing. The results showed that different zones in the microstructure remained after processing, and deformation mechanisms mainly involved slip and martensite formation. The compressive mechanical properties were found to be dependent on strain rate, with higher flow stress and compressive strength observed at higher strain rates. Grain structure homogenisation was not achieved, leading to anisotropic tensile properties.

Summary: This research aims to investigate the effect of roughing and finishing reductions on crystallographic texture. The results show significant heterogeneity in the centerline region, with higher intensity of certain textures. Drop Weight Tear Test indicates that steel specimens with lower and medium reductions exhibit superior low-temperature impact toughness compared to steel with higher reductions. The electrochemical hydrogen charging experiments confirm the presence of internal hydrogen cracks only in steel with lower and medium reductions.

Effect of Cr content in temperature-dependent mechanical properties and strain hardening of a twinning-induced plasticity steel

Flavio De Barbieri, Denis Jorge-Badiola, Rodrigo Allende, Karem Tello, Alfredo Artigas, Franco Perazzo, Henry Jami, Juan Perez Ipina

Summary: This study examines the effect of Cr additions on the mechanical behavior of TWIP steel at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 350°C. The results indicate that different temperature-dependent strengthening mechanisms, including mechanical twinning, Dynamic Strain Aging, and slip bands, are at play. The stacking fault energy (SFE) influences the percentage of mechanical twinning, which in turn affects the strain hardening rate.

Hanlin Peng, Siming Huang, Ling Hu, Bingbing Luo, Liejun Li, Ian Baker

Summary: This study explores the weldability, microstructures, and mechanical properties of two L1(2)-nanoparticle-strengthened medium-entropy alloys after electron beam welding (EBW). The results show that strong yet ductile defect-free joints were produced, with larger grain sizes in the fusion zones compared to the heat-affected zones and base materials. Both EBWed MEAs exhibited high yield strengths, high ultimate tensile strengths, and good fracture strains at 77 K. The V-doping improved the cryogenic mechanical properties of the TMT MEA.

Microstructural evolution and deformation behavior of an interstitial TRIP high-entropy alloy under dynamic loading

Z. Y. You, Z. Y. Tang, B. Wang, H. W. Zhang, P. Li, L. Zhao, F. B. Chu, H. Ding

Summary: The mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of C-doped TRIP-assisted HEA under dynamic loading conditions were systematically investigated in this study. The results showed that dynamic tensile deformation led to an increase in yield strength and a decrease in ultimate tensile strength, with a trend towards increased total elongation. The primary deformation mechanisms shifted from TRIP and TWIP effects to deformation twinning and dislocations. The presence of carbides formed through C-doping hindered dislocation slip and promoted the activation of multiple twinning systems.
