Phase Transformation and Mechanical Properties of an Ultrahigh Strength Steel

The present study deals with the development of a low carbon high strength steel by thermomechanical controlled processing on a pilot scale.The continuous cooling transformation has yielded a flat top "C" curve with the phase field occupied by a mixture of bainite and martensite.The microstructure of water quenched steel essentially consists of highly dislocated lath martensite along with fine (Ti,Nb)CN precipitates and twins.High strength steel with 1217-1298 MPa yield strength and 1372-1513 MPa ultimate tensile strength along with 16-12% total elongation has been obtained in the range of 850 to 750℃ finish rolling temperature.The impact toughness value in the range of 45-72J was also achieved in the present steel.     

Influence of alloying elements and grain refiner on microstructure,mechanical and wear properties of Mg-Al-Zn alloys

In the present investigation, the effects of alloying elements (Sn, Pb) and grain refiner (Ag, Zr) on microstructure, mechanical and wear properties of as-cast Mg-Al-Zn alloys were studied. The alloys were prepared through melting-casting route under a protective atmosphere and cast into a permanent mould. The microstructure of the base alloy consisted of α-Mg, Mg₁₇Al₁₂ continuous eutectic phase at the grain boundary and Mg-Zn phase was distributed within the grains. Addition of Sn and Pb suppressed the formation of continuous Mg₁₇Al₁₂ eutectic phase and formed Pb enriched Mg₂Sn precipitates at the grain boundary as well as inside the grain. The Ag and Zr addition to Mg-Al-Zn-Sn-Pb alloy suppressed the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase formation and refined the grains leading to improve mechanical properties. Addition of Sn, Pb and grain refiner (Ag, Zr) significantly enhanced the tensile strength and elongation but reduced hardness. The Ag addition imparted best tensile properties, where ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation are 205?MPa and 8.0%, respectively. The fracture surfaces were examined under SEM which revealed cleavage facets and dimple formation. Therefore, the cleavage fracture and dimple rupture were considered as the dominant fracture mechanisms for developed Mg alloys. The cumulative volume loss of Mg alloys increased with sliding distance and applied load. The coefficient of friction decreased with sliding distance. The microscopic observation, analysis of the wear surface and coefficient of friction revealed that the wear mechanism of developed Mg alloys changes from abrasion oxidation to delamination wear.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Mn-Sn-Nd wrought alloys

The microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and extruded Mg-6Zn-1Mn-4Sn-xNd(x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) alloys were investigated by means of optical microscopy(OM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and tensile test. The results showed that the dendrites sizes of these alloys were decreased by the addition of Nd. The phase compositions of the as-cast Mg-Zn-Mn-Sn-Nd alloys were dendritic α-Mg, MgZn2, Mg2 Sn, T phase and MgSnNd ternary phase. The mechanical properties of the as-extruded alloys were improved due to the refined equiaxed grains and dispersive Mg2 Sn and MgSnNd second phases. The comparison of the theoretical yield strength with the experimental yield strength revealed that the yield strength model of the as-extruded alloys should be modified as σys =σMg +σgb +σss +σsp.

FeCoCrNiMo high-entropy alloys prepared by powder metallurgy processing for diamond tool applications

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) show good mechanical properties like high strength, hardness and wear resistance, and this makes them attractive for application in diamond tools. However, there are severe obstacles to improving the mechanical properties of normal diamond tools with metal-matrix alloys. Here, we report the formation of FeCoCrNiMo HEAs by powder metallurgy processing, starting from a gas-atomised powder followed by mechanical milling and consolidation by spark plasma sintering. Our results show that FeCoCrNiMo HEAs with pure FCC phase can be obtained by this method. Specimens with higher hardness can be obtained at higher temperatures and low pressures, while specimens with higher bending strength are formed at lower temperatures and pressures. FeCoCrNiMo HEAs have remarkably higher hardness and better wear behaviour than metal-matrices commonly in used diamond tools, which indicates that a new type of diamond tool with superior properties can be realised from HEAs.

Effect of different thermomechanical processing on structure and mechanical properties of electron beam melted niobium

Among the refractory metals and alloys, niobium and niobium alloys are used in variety of high temperature applications ranging from light bulbs to rocket engines because of its high melting and boiling point, lower density, good ductility at room temperature and high corrosion resistance. In this paper the effects of different thermomechanical processing on structure and mechanical properties of electron beam melted niobium ingot was investigated. The correlation among the different processing conditions and microstructure as well as mechanical properties have been investigated using optical microscope, SEM, UTM and microhardness testing. The results show that the cold forging response of EB melted ingot was very poor, where as oxidation resistant coated ingot and ingot sealed in evacuated stainless steel jacket were successfully forged at 900 °C. The cast and hot forged EBM niobium ingot was cold rolled without any intermediate annealing. The hot forged, cold rolled and annealed niobium sheets exhibit better strength as compared to cold rolled and annealed niobium sheets. The mechanical properties of all the niobium sheets processed by using different processing conditions are superior to the properties specified by ASTM standard.
