A novel forging process has been designed for better mechanical properties of Ti-43Al-6Nb-1Mo-1Cr-(0,0.6)B alloys in this paper. Multi step forging process could provide much finer microstructure, higher room-temperature strength, increased high-temperature strength and elongation with these alloys. The forged alloys without boron exhibit strength and elongation as 676.05 ± 11.37 MPa and 41.32 ± 1.38% at 800 °C, while the average grain size represents as 12.63 ± 3.77 μm. The forged alloys with 0.6 at.% B represent better mechanical properties than the forged alloys without boron, due to the refined microstructure with dispersive borides. Meanwhile, the detailed mechanism of increased strength and elongation caused by finer microstructure were concluded and discussed.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of two tool materials designed for the machining of Inconel 718 superalloy, produced through two distinct sintering techniques: High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) sintering and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The first composite (marked as BNT), composed of 65 vol% cubic boron nitride (cBN), was sintered from the cBN-TiN-TiSiC system using the HPHT technique at a pressure of 7.7 GPa.

This study aims to enhance the electrical conductivity of commercially pure aluminium by minimizing impurities and grain boundaries in its microstructure, ultimately improving the efficiency of electric motors constructed from rotors with squirrel cages made from this material. For this purpose, an aluminium-boron (AlB8) master alloy was added to aluminium with a purity of 99.7%, followed by the application of a grain-coarsening heat treatment to the rotors.

Observing the intricate microstructure changes in abrasive flow machining with traditional experimental methods is difficult. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to look at the process of abrasive flow processing from a microscopic scale in this work. A molecular dynamics model for micro-cutting a single crystal γ-TiAl alloy with a rough surface in a fluid medium environment is constructed, which is more realistic.

Higher strength and higher ductility are desirable for structural materials. However, ultrastrong alloys inevitably show decreased strain-hardening capacity, limiting their uniform elongation. We present a supranano (<10 nanometers) and short-range ordering design for grain interiors and grain boundary regions, respectively, in fine-grained alloys based on vanadium, cobalt, and nickel, with additions of tungsten, copper, aluminum, and boron.

W-Mo-V high-speed steel (HSS) is a high-alloy high-carbon steel with a high content of carbon, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium components. This type of high-speed steel has excellent red hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In this study, the alloying element ratios were adjusted based on commercial HSS powders.
