Abstract: The CuCr25 alloys were prepared by spray forming technology, and effect of process parameters on the deposit was studied. The microstructure of CuCr25 alloy prepared by spray forming was studied, and the size of chromium particles was 3-10μm. It is fond that spray-deposited CuCr25 alloys were hot forged and hot isostatically pressed to full densification,and the size of chromium particles was increased little after being hold at 1070°C for 60mins. Conclusions were drawn from the researching results that spray forming was an ideal method to prepare CuCr25 alloys with fine chromium precipitates and homogeneous dispersion. After hot forging and hot isostatic pressing, the size of chromium particles was increased to 10-15μm. the density of the CuCr25 alloy could be 99%.

Abstract: A high Zn content Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was prepared by spray forming process and the precipitate behavior and microstructure of the extruded alloy were also investigated. The precipitate sequence of the spray-formed alloy could be described as “α-solid solution → GPI zone → GPII zone (also called Metastable ′ )→ Stable  (MgZn2)” during artificial ageing treatment. In the early stage of artificial ageing treatment, the GPI zone was the main strengthening phase and kept coherent relationship with the matrix. With the increasing of ageing time, ′ phase dominate strengthening phase and kept semi-coherent relationship with the matrix. With the further increasing of ageing time,  phase took the place of ′ phase, and dominated the strengthening phase in the alloy. The grain size of the spray deposit is finer than that of cast alloys. The ultimate tensile strength of the alloy is over 810MPa in peak ageing condition.
