Dependence of microstructure and mechanical properties on hot-extrusion temperatures of the developed high-strength Cu40Zn–CrFeTiSn brass by powder metallurgy

Abstract

a b s t r a c tEffect of extrusion temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the powder metallurgy Cu40Zn-CrFeTiSn alloy were investigated, through analysis on the solid solution of alloying elements, phase transformation and precipitation behavior. The extrusion was carried out between 500 1C and 650 1C using an extrusion ratio of 37:1. After extrusion, the microstructure was found consisting of the dual aþb phase structure and precipitates dispersing uniformly in the matrix. The tensile strength gradually decreased when the extrusion preheating temperature was increased. Solid solubility of Ti and Cr decreased steadily and grain coarsening occurred with increase in the extrusion temperature. Consequently, the lower extrusion preheating temperature was necessary to obtain excellent final mechanical properties, thus the extrusion temperature of 500 1C was enough to produce good ductility while maintaining the promising values of mechanical properties after extrusion.

Hot Upset Studies on Sintered (Al–TiO2–Gr) Powder Metallurgy Hybrid Composite

“…PM technique has been a traditional method of manufacturing MMC materials and components [22]. Powder processes are more flexible than casting and forging techniques, they are used in a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace applications to power tools and household appliances [23]. The plastic deformation of sintered powder preforms is similar to that of conventional fully dense materials, but there are additional complications due to the substantial volume fraction of voids in the preform.…”
