Metastable alloy Ti-15Mo prepared by powder metallurgy
Veverková, Anna ; Bartha, Kristina (advisor) ; Chráska, Tomáš (referee)
This diploma thesis focused on manufacturing and characterization of Ti-15Mo metastable beta-Ti alloy prepared by cryogenic milling and spark plasma sintering. Initial powder was prepared by gas atomization and consequently deformed by cryogenic milling (milled powder). Both initial and milled powders were compacted by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at temperatures from 750 řC to 850 řC. Dependence of microstructure and mechanical properties on the parameters of preparation was studied. During cryo-milling, powder particles significantly changed shape from ball-shaped to disc-shaped. Particles were not refined by milling, but severely plastically deformed. SEM observations showed that all prepared samples contain duplex alpha + beta structure. Volume fraction of alpha phase is significantly higher in the sintered milled powder due to increased beta- transus temperature caused by contamination by oxygen and also due to easier alpha phase precipitation caused by refined microstructure. Maximum microhardness of 350 HV was achieved for both types of sintered powders. High microhardness of sintered initial powder can be attributed to formation of omega phase during cooling, while sintered milled powder is strengthened by refined microstructure and small alpha phase precipitates. Cryogenic milling prior to...

Title: Physical properties of ultrafine-grained magnesium based alloys prepared by various severe plastic deformation techniques Author: Jitka Stráská Department / Institute: Department of Physics of Materials Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Doc. RNDr. Miloš Janeček, CSc. Abstract: The objective of the doctoral thesis is the complex investigation of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloy AZ31 prepared by two different severe plastic deformation techniques, in particular the hot extrusion followed by equal-channel angular pressing (EX-ECAP) and high pressure torsion (HPT). These severe plastic deformation methods, and as well as many others, are described in detail in the introductory theoretical section. Experimental results are summarized in the following experimental part of the thesis. Mechanical properties, lattice defect structure and especially microstructure were investigated using various experimental techniques. Thermal stability of ultrafine-grained microstructure of AZ31 after EX-ECAP was investigated and the activation energies for grain growth in different temperature ranges were calculated using kinetic equation for grain growth and Arrhenius equation. Results from the dislocation density measurements proved temperature ranges of the recovery and the following grain growth. Results from the...
