Full textAbstract:
TiAl6V4 wrought alloy is a standard material used for endoprostheses due to its ideal characteristics in terms of osseointegration. However, the insufficient wear and crevice corrosion resistance of TiAl6V4 are limiting factors that can cause clinical problems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze and identify suitable phases and microstructural states of TiAl6V4 alloy with advantageous implant properties by thermal treatments. By varying the temperature and cooling rate, four heat treatment strategies were derived that produced different microstructural states that differed in morphology, arrangement and proportions of phases present. All TiAl6V4 modifications were characterized regarding their microstructure, mechanical, corrosive and tribological properties, as well as cell adhesion. The acicular, martensitic microstructure achieves a significant hardness increase by up to 63% and exhibits improved corrosion and wear resistance compared to the forged condition. Whereas the modified microstructures showed similar electrochemical properties in polarization tests using different electrolytes (PBS with H2O2 and HCl additives), selective α or β phase dissolution occurred under severe inflammatory crevice conditions after four weeks of exposure at 37 °C. The microstructurally selective corrosion processes resemble the damage patterns of retrieved Ti-based implants and provide a better understanding of clinically relevant in vivo crevice corrosion mechanisms. Furthermore, a microstructural effect on cell attachment was determined and is correlated to the size of the vanadium-rich β phase. These key findings highlight the relevance of an adapted processing of TiAl6V4 alloy to increase the longevity of implants.

Full textAbstract:
Low cycle fatigue behavior of Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solder was investigated under fully reversed cyclic loading, with particular emphasis on microstructural effects. The LCF behavior of the solder with equiaxed microstructure was found to differ greatly from that of the solder with a dendrite microstructure. At a given total strain amplitude, the dendrite microstructure exhibited a much longer fatigue life than the equiaxed microstructure. Such a strong microstructural effect on fatigue life arose from the difference in cyclic deformation and fracture mechanisms between the two microstructures. A large number of microcracks along grain boundaries of the equiaxed structure solder developed with increasing cycling, while for the dendrite structure solder, cyclic deformation took place along the direction of the maximal shear stress during fatigue tests and microcracks initiated and propagated along shear deformation bands. Besides, the fatigue behavior of the dendritic microstructure was very sensitive to cyclic frequency whereas the fatigue behavior of the equiaxed microstructure showed less sensitivity to cyclic frequency.

Full textAbstract:
The processes that control irradiation creep are dependent on the temperature and the rate of production of freely migrating point defects, affecting both the microstructure and the mechanisms of mass transport. Because of the experimental difficulties in studying irradiation creep, many different hypothetical models have been developed that either favour a dislocation slip or a mass transport mechanism. Irradiation creep mechanisms and models that are dependent on the microstructure, which are either fully or partially mechanistic in nature, are described and discussed in terms of their ability to account for the in-reactor creep behaviour of various nuclear reactor core materials. A rate theory model for creep of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubing in CANDU reactors incorporating the as-fabricated microstructure has been developed that gives good agreement with measurements for tubes manufactured by different fabrication routes having very different microstructures. One can therefore conclude that for Zr-alloys at temperatures < 300 °C and stresses < 150 MPa, diffusional mass transport is the dominant creep mechanism. The most important microstructural parameter controlling irradiation creep for these conditions is the grain structure. Austenitic alloys follow similar microstructural dependencies as Zr-alloys, but up to higher temperature and stress ranges. The exception is that dislocation slip is dominant in austenitic alloys at temperatures < 100 °C because there are few barriers to dislocation slip at these low temperatures, which is linked to the enhanced recombination of irradiation-induced point defects.

The applicability of materials is highly dependent on its microstructure and mechanical properties. Aluminium alloy is being used extensively under diverse conditions. This study investigates the effects of cooling rate on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 6xxx-series aluminium alloy. Aluminium ingot was melted in a muffle furnace and cast into rods. The cooling rate was controlled by holding the moulds at different temperatures. Microstructural characteristics were examined by optical microscopy. Mechanical properties such as impact strength, hardness, and tensile strength were analysed using standard methods. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization. It was found that microstructures are dominated by ferrite and pearlite phases with different morphologies and grain sizes depending on the cooling rate. Increasing the cooling rate resulted in microstructural refinement and chemical homogeneity, improvement in mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the 6xxx alloy.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of alloying elements and impurities on the microstructure and properties of metals and alloys are important. Understanding of these effects may help to control and produce products with desired properties at lower cost. In the present work the effects of Al, Si and Mn on the recrystallization behavior, hardness and microstructural changes of an Fe- containing brass during annealing were studied. The results show that alloying elements strongly affect recrystallization kinetics and resulted finer microstructures. Hardness variations during annealing are consistent with microstructural observations and the presence of alloying elements. All elements slow down recrystallization progress and increase resulted hardness values. The resulted microstructures in the presence of alloying elements are much finer than that of plain 70B brass. It was concluded that the present alloying elements affect the recrystallization behavior of 70B brass in a similar manner. Their mechanism of interactions is solute drag effect and their effects sum up when they present together.

Full textAbstract:
Quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) heat treatment is a relatively novel approach to attain excellent ductility in high-strength steels. In the present work, the microstructural evolution and the mechanical properties of a low carbon microalloyed advanced steel were systematically investigated after the Q-P-T process. The microstructural evolution was explored by employing X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the multiphase microstructures strongly depend on both the initial microstructure and the processing parameters of the quenching and partitioning process, especially the quenching temperature. Compositional inhomogeneity during the Q-P-T process results in multiphase microstructures, in which the mechanical properties of the quenching and partitioning steels may be strongly impacted by the distribution of heterogeneous austenite phase in the steel matrix.

Full textAbstract:
Microalloyed steels are used in the forging of many automotive parts like crankshafts and connecting rods. They are hot worked in a sequence of stages that includes the heating to the soaking temperature, followed by forging steps, and finally the controlled cooling to define the microstructure and mechanical properties. In this work it was investigated the thermomechanical behavior and the microstructural evolution of a Ti-V microalloyed steel in the phase transition region. Torsion tests were done with multiple steps with true strain equal to 0.26 in each step. After each torsion step the samples were continuous cooled for 15 seconds to simulate hot forging conditions. These tests provided results for the temperature at the beginning of the phase transformation, and allowed to analyze the microstructural changes. Also, workability tests were held to analyze the microstructural evolution by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Results from the torsion tests showed that the temperature for the beginning of phase transformation is about 700 ºC. Workability tests held at 700 ºC followed by water-cooling presented microstructures with different regions: strain hardened, and static and dynamic recrystallized. Workability tests at 700 ºC followed by air-cooling showed a complex microstructure with ferrite, bainite and martensite, while tests at 650 and 600 ºC followed by water-cooling showed a microstructure with allotriomorphic ferrite present in the grain boundaries of the previous austenite.

Full textAbstract:
The microstructural homogeneity of austempered ductile iron (ADI) with different graphite counts was evaluated by microstructural observations and hardness measurement. ADI was composed of spheroidal graphite, ausferrite, and stabilized austenite. Microstructural observation and microhardness evaluation indicated that graphite nodule counts affected the microstructure significantly, in a sense that the microstructure was more homogeneous for samples with higher graphite counts. More graphite nodules provided more positions for ferrite nucleation and gave rise to a fine ausferrite microstructure. However, for samples with fewer graphite nodules, the diffusion of carbon atoms in austenite far away from graphite was inhibited, which stabilized the austenite and gave rise to the existence of large-size blocky austenite. Consequently, ADI with high graphite nodule count exhibited superior ductility. This study suggested that more graphite nodule is preferred in ADI to obtain a more homogeneous microstructure.

Full textAbstract:
The research of marine antifouling is mainly conducted from the aspects of chemistry, physics, and biology. In the present work, the movement model of microorganisms along or against the flow direction on the microstructural surface was established. The model of globose algae with a diameter of 5 μm in the near-wall area was simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and the fluid kinematic characteristics and shear stress distribution over different-sized microstructures and in micropits were compared. Simulation results revealed that the increase of the β value (height to width ratio) was prone to cause vortexes in micropits. In addition, the closer the low-velocity region of the vortex center to the microstructural surface, the more easily the upper fluid of the microstructure slipped in the vortex flow and reduced the microbial attachment. Moreover, the shear stress in the micropit with a height and width of 2 μm was significantly higher than those in others; thus, microbes in this micropit easily fell off.

Full textAbstract:
In this work, we used an AlSi10Mg alloy produced by selective laser melting (SLM) to study the effects of build direction and deformation temperature on the grain refinement process. Two different build orientations of 0° and 90° and deformation temperatures of 150 °C and 200 °C were selected to study this effect. Light microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the microtexture and microstructural evolution of the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) billets. Grain boundary maps showed that the proportion of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) dominated in every analysed sample. It was also found that different thermal histories caused by the change in build direction resulted in microstructures with different grain sizes. In addition, EBSD maps revealed heterogeneous microstructures comprising equiaxed fine-grained zones with ≈0.6 μm grain size and coarse-grained zones with ≈10 μm grain size. From the detailed microstructural observations, it was found that the formation of a heterogeneous microstructure is closely related to the increased fraction of melt pool borders. The results presented in this article confirm that the build direction has a significant influence on the microstructure evolution during the ECAP process.
