The article aims to characterize Hadfield steel by analyzing its chemical composition, mechanical properties, and microstructure. The study focused on the twinning-induced work hardening of the alloy, which led to an increase in its hardness. The experimental data show that the material hardness at the surface improved considerably after solution heat treatment and work hardening, reaching more than 750 HV. By contrast, the hardness of the material core in the supersaturated condition was about 225 HV. The chemical and phase compositions of the material at the surface were compared with those of the core. The microstructural analysis of the steel revealed characteristic decarburization of the surface layer after solution heat treatment. The article also describes the effects of heat treatment on the properties and microstructure of Hadfield steel. The volumetric (qualitative) analysis of the computed tomography (CT) data of Hadfield steel subjected to heavy dynamic loading helped detect internal flaws, assess the material quality, and potentially prevent the structural failure or damage of the element tested.

Effects of solution treatment on room temperature mechanical properties were studied in cast AZ91 (Mg-9%Al-1%Zn-0.2%Mn) and AZ91-0.5%Ca alloys. In as-cast state, the Ca addition contributed to the suppression of discontinuous β phase precipitation and the formation of Al2 Ca phase. After solution treatment, the AZ91 alloy had only a small amount of Al8 Mn5 particles, while β and Al2 Ca phases were still present in the Ca-containing alloy. In as-cast state, the AZ91-0.5%Ca alloy showed better yield strength and hardness than the AZ91 alloy. The solution treatment increased the elongation in both alloys, which eventually led to the increase in ultimate tensile strength. The solution treatment resulted in a marked decrease in yield strength and hardness in the AZ91 alloy, whereas the decrements in those values were relatively negligible in the Ca-containing alloy due to the residual phases and solution hardening effect of Ca.

This article discusses the influence of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) surfacing of duplex cast steel on its hardness and structure. The samples of 24Cr-5Ni-2.5Mo ferritic-austenitic cast steel were subjected to single-overlay processes with the use of solid wire having the chemical composition similar to that of the duplex cast steel. As a result of the surfacing, the welds were obtained that had no welding imperfections with a smooth transition to the base material. In the test without the heat treatment, directly below the fusion line, we observe a ferrite band with a width of approximately 200 μm without visible austenite areas. Some of the samples were then solution treated (1060°C). Both variants, without and after solution heat treatment, were subjected to testing. Significant changes in the microstructure of the joint were observed after the heat treatment process (heat affected zone and weld microstructure changes). In both areas, an increase in the austenite volume fraction after solution heat treatment was observed. Changes in the microhardness of the ferrite in the HAZ area directly below the fusion line were also observed.

In the work, the experiments on extrusion of high-strength aluminium alloys (2014 and 2024) with solution heat treatment on the press were performed. The experimental study describes extrudates microstructure and mechanical properties in dependence on alloy chemical composition, mode of homogenization treatment and temperature-speed extrusion conditions. The optical microscopy and SEM/EDS characterization were supported by DSC analysis, enabling to determine the solidus temperatures of the alloys. The investigations revealed that minimal contents of the main alloy additions (Cu, Mg), high-temperature homogenization and increased extrusion temperatures contributed to achieving high solutioning ratio of the alloys, guarantying improved mechanical properties of the extrudates. The high-temperature homogenization allowed achieving uniform microstructure of ingots with fine particles of intermetallic phases. The significant increase in solidus temperatures of the homogenized alloys enabled more effective solutioning on the run-out table. The maximal permissible metal exit speed was increased and the extrusion force was reduced in comparison to the conventional extrusion technology. The proposed solutions will allow for industrial producing AlCuMg extrudates of improved mechanical properties in the shortened technological cycle with heat treatment on the press.

W pracy przeprowadzono badania doświadczalne procesu wyciskania wysokowytrzymałych stopów aluminium (2014 i 2024) z jednoczesnym przesycaniem na wybiegu prasy. Studium doświadczalne opisuje strukturę i własności mechaniczne wyciskanych prętów, w zależności od składu chemicznego stopu, sposobu homogenizacji oraz prędkościowo-temperaturowych warunków procesu wyciskania. Badania strukturalne z wykorzystaniem mikroskopii optycznej i SEM uzupełniono badaniami kalorymetrycznymi, które pozwoliły na wyznaczenie temperatury solidusu stopów. Badania wykazały, że minimalizacja zawartości głównych składników stopowych (Cu i Mg), wysokotemperaturowa homogenizacja wlewków oraz wyciskanie w wysokich temperaturach (wyższych niż standardowe), przyczynia się do uzyskania wysokiego stopnia przesycenia stopów na wybiegu prasy, gwarantującego otrzymanie wysokich własności mechanicznych wyrobów. Wysokotemperaturowa homogenizacja pozwoliła na uzyskanie jednorodnej struktury wlewków z drobnymi wydzieleniami faz międzymetalicznych. Znaczny wzrost temperatury solidusu homogenizowanych stopów umożliwiłbardziej efektywne przesycanie na wybiegu prasy. Wykazano możliwość zwiększenia maksymalnej dopuszczalnej prędkości wypływu metalu z otworu matrycy i obniżenia siły w procesie wyciskania, w porównaniu z konwencjonalną technologią wyciskania tych stopów. Proponowane rozwiązania pozwolą na produkcję przemysłową kształtowników AlCuMg o wysokich własnościach mechanicznych, w jednym skróconym cyklu technologicznym połączonego wyciskania z obróbką cieplną.

Exploitation investigations of a centrifugally cast pipe of austenitic cast steel indicated a significant influence of its microstructure on functional properties. Determination of the possibility of forming the microstructure and properties of the investigated cast steel by heat treatments was the aim of the presented paper. According to the Standard ASTM A 297, material from which the pipe was made is determined as HF type cast steel. The solution heat treatment from a temperature of 1080 °C was performed and followed by the microstructure observations and hardness measurements. It was found, that the solution heat treatment from this temperature will not significantly improve the material strength properties. However, it will visibly influence its fracture toughness. An influence of aging performed after the solution heat treatment on microstructure and hardness was also investigated. Cast steel was aged for 1 hour at 600 °C (solution heat treatment from 1080 °C). On the basis of the obtained results it was found, that the solution heat treatment temperature should be the maximum permissible by the Standard i.e. 1150 °C. Heating the supersaturated material (from 1150 °C) even to a temperature of 600°C should not cause the carbide precipitation in a form of the continuous network in grain boundaries, which would decrease fracture toughness of the investigated cast steel. Due to fracture toughness a service exposure of this material should not exceed 600 °C. The permissible service exposure up to 900 °C, given for this material in the Standard, is correct only on account of heat and high temperature creep resistance but not fracture toughness.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań procesu ciągnienia drutu ze stali TWIP. Określono podatność tej stali na odkształcenie plastyczne w procesie ciągnienia oraz określono jego własności mechaniczne, sposób umacniania się oraz strukturę. Stwierdzono, że struktura wysokomanganowego austenitu mimo szybkiego umacniania się stali umożliwia odkształcanie go w procesie ciągnienia do około 76 %, a otrzymany w tym procesie drut odznacza się wysokimi własnościami mechanicznymi i dużą twardością.
