Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of metals and alloys in the aerospace and automobile and nuclear power, the thermal-mechanical behaviors of metals and alloys need to be systematically revealed. For example, during the welding and joining of various parts, thermal-mechanical treatments have an important effect on the microstructures and properties of welded joints. During the rolling processes, thermal-mechanical treatments affect the deformation behaviors, evolution of microstructures, and change of properties. Moreover, thermal-mechanical processes are usually produced in actual engineering service processes. Thermal-mechanical processes affect the evolution of the microstructure, change the deformation behavior and fracture mechanisms, deteriorate the properties, and finally determine the service life.

The present Special Issue contributes to systematically understanding the thermomechanical behavior of metals and alloys with various manufacturing methods under various processing, manufacturing, or service conditions. I am very pleased to invite you to submit contributions about the thermomechanical behavior of metals and alloys with various manufacturing methods under the various processing, manufacturing, or service conditions.

The Ti600/TC18 dissimilar titanium alloy joints were prepared by inertia friction welding (IFW). Then, stress-relief annealing and two-stage annealing were performed to optimize the microstructure and properties of the original joints, the purpose of them is to improve the structure and performance of the joints. Then, the microstructure, phase composition, tensile properties, microhardness, and fracture morphology of the joints after heat treatments were investigated. The results showed that after stress-relief annealing, the microstructure of the joints was almost similar to that of the specimen before annealing; the weld zone (WZ) of the joints was composed of fine recrystallized grains and α′, and the more β phases underwent a martensitic transformation. The shapes and sizes of αp phases were increased after two-stage annealing; its percentage content was decreased. The tensile properties and the microhardness values of the joints undergoing stress-relief annealing were relatively higher than that of the joints undergoing two-stage annealing; there was no obvious change in the plasticity of the joints. It was confirmed that the stress-relief annealing microstructure was composed of α′ and β phases, which were beneficial to the properties of the joints. However, the αs phases were coarsened after two-stage annealing, and the properties of the joints were reduced. Full article

The universal thermo-mechanical processing including the interim long-term annealing together with forging for three 12% Cr martensitic steels with different alloying. This thermo-mechanical processing remarkably increases the impact toughness of these steels in wide temperature ranges and reduces the ductile-brittle transition temperature by 10–20 K. There is a 25 °C impact toughness of all 12% Cr steels subjected to the thermo-mechanical processing exceeds 60 J cm−2. Such an increment in impact toughness is accompanied with the significant changes in the structures of all 12% Cr steels with different alloying. The common feature for all 12% Cr steels subjected to the thermo-mechanical processing is found to be a noticeable decrease in delta-ferrite amount. In the steels containing Ta, the decrease in the mean size of prior austenite grains by 20–26% was revealed. For the 12% Cr steels with ultra-low N content, the thermo-mechanical processing provides the changes in the dispersion of M23C6 carbides and MX carbonitrides. Full article
