Abstract: Supersaturated Mg-Gd-Y alloy followed by aging at 225 °C with different times were subjected to quais-static and dynamic strain rates to determine the influence of precipitate phase β′ on the strain rate sensitivity of magnesium alloy. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) decreases with the increase of the size of β′. SRS decreases from initial condition to peak-aged condition due to the β′ increases the athermal component of flow stress. On the other hand, the influence of precipitate interfaces on dislocation generation and storage mechanisms may be responsible for the decrease of SRS from peak-aged to over-aged condition.

Abstract: Microstructure and mechanical properties of hot rolled steel plate strengthened complexly by titanium and molybdenum at different final rolling temperature and coiling temperature were studied by optical microscope (OM) and material testing machine. The precipitation behaviors of precipitates phase were obtained using transmission electron microscope (TEM) with EDS analysis. The results showed that at final temperature 850°C, microstructure of experimental steel were fine, uniform polygonal ferrite and acicular ferrite. With the coiling temperature decreasing from 620°C to 580 °C, the grain of polygonal ferrite became finer, and the amounts of acicular ferrite became more; precipitates phase mainly maintained both coarse TiN and small square round sheet (Ti,Mo)C. On the condition of the final rolling temperature (850°C) and coiling temperature (580°C), experimental steel acquired properties as follows: yield strength 608 MPa, tensile strength 720 MPa, elongation 24%. Ti-Mo composite strengthening effect had achieved, and significantly improved the strength of ferrite steel.

Abstract: The precipitation behaviors of hot rolling and cold rolled annealing steel plates strengthened complexly by titanium and molybdenum were studied in the paper. The microstructures and precipitate phases were analyzed using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) with energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the coarsening square TiN phase and the fine roundness (Ti,Mo)C phase were precipitated mostly in the hot rolled steel plate. As the finishing temperature decreased and coiling holding time increased, the quantity of fine precipitates increased. And also the fine round precipitates increased, dispersion expanded and shape of the phase being uniformed as the annealing temperature increased. Therefore, the strengthen effects can be improved effectively by a reasonable control toward titanium and molybdenum precipitation behaviors.
