A large Mg-4.50Zn-1.13Ca (wt%) alloy ingot 350 mm in diameter and 1730 mm long was successfully fabricated by semi-continuous casting. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-cast and as-extruded alloys were investigated. The as-cast alloy exhibits uniform chemical composition and microstructure from the centre to the surface of the ingot and mainly consists of alpha-Mg and Ca2Mg6Zn3. The coarse grains and network-like second phases that are distributed at the grain boundaries result in poor mechanical properties for the as-cast alloy. The mechanical properties of the as-extruded alloys are significantly enhanced. The high yield strengths of the as-extruded alloys mainly result from the fine DRXed grain and the stronger basal texture. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg-LPSO two phase Mg96Y2Ni2 (at. %) alloy processed by hot extrusion and decreasing-temperature ECAP

S. Z. Wu, Y. Q. Chi, G. Garces, X. G. Qiao, M. Y. Zheng

Summary: The Mg96Y2Ni2 (at. %) alloy with a volume fraction of 50% of LPSO phase was processed by extrusion and ECAP. Different microstructures of bimodal alpha-Mg matrix and fully dynamic recrystallized matrix were obtained by controlling the processing parameters, and the relationship between microstructure and tensile properties was investigated. The extruded alloy at 390 degrees C showed ultrahigh tensile yield strength but low elongation to failure, while the alloy extruded at 450 degrees C exhibited a balanced strength-ductility behavior. Fully recrystallized ultra-fine Mg grains contributed to the increase of elongation to failure. This work provides theoretical guidance for developing Mg-LPSO two-phase alloys with excellent strength-ductility synergy.

Superior ductility Mg-Mn extrusion alloys at room temperature obtained by controlling Mn content

C. C. Li, Z. H. Xia, X. G. Qiao, I. S. Golovin, M. Y. Zheng

Summary: The study investigated the influence of Mn content (0.4, 0.8, 1.2 wt.%) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-extruded dilute binary Mg-Mn alloys. Increasing Mn content resulted in a decrease in the volume fraction and size of dynamically recrystallized (DRXed) grains. Segregation of Mn atoms and nano alpha-Mn dynamical precipitates were observed at the grain boundaries, with the amount of precipitates increasing with Mn content. Tensile tests showed that Mn content significantly affected mechanical properties, with the Mg-0.8 wt.% Mn alloy exhibiting excellent ductility at room temperature.

Mechanical and Tribological Behavior of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) under Dry Sliding Conditions

Zhitao Hu, Yuzhou Du

Summary: A vertically continuous casting technique was used to produce a ductile iron pipe, and the tribological behavior of austempered ductile iron (ADI) was examined under various service conditions. The study found that ADI's tribological behaviors were significantly influenced by normal loads and sliding speeds. Spheroidal graphite was preferentially transferred from the matrix to the tribosurface in ADI under high normal loads, and high sliding speed accelerated the formation of the graphite lubricating layer. As a result, ADI's friction coefficient decreased with increasing normal load and sliding speed. The wear rate of ADI followed a similar trend, increasing with higher normal load and decreasing with higher sliding speed. The worn surface indicated that adhesive wear occurred at low sliding speeds, while abrasive wear was the primary wear mechanism at high sliding speeds.

Achieving exceptional ultrahigh-strength in low-alloy Mg-1Al-1Ca-0.4Mn (wt%) alloy by regulating bimodal microstructure

Xiaoqing Liu, Xiaoguang Qiao, Liyao Ye, Xianke Zhang, Mingyi Zheng

Summary: A Mg-1Al-1Ca-0.4Mn (AXM1104, wt%) alloy extruded at 250°C with a ram speed of 0.1 mm/s obtains a unique bimodal microstructure. The as-extruded alloy exhibits a high tensile yield strength of 474 MPa and a low ductility of 2.1%, surpassing conventionally extruded rare-earth-free Mg alloys reported so far. After annealing at 300°C for 10 min, the annealed alloy achieves a good strength-ductility balance, with a yield strength of 426 MPa and an elongation of 5.4%. The ultrahigh yield strength of the as-extruded alloy is attributed to the combined strengthening effect of grain boundary, dislocation, and texture, while the as-annealed alloy is mainly strengthened by both grain boundary strengthening and precipitation strengthening from planar Al2Ca nano phase.

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.

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.
