Current state of the theory of age-hardening of metallic alloys

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusion

In recent years we have produced new types of age-hardening alloys and new hardening treatments for which the combination of several methods of hardening is typical. We should note first of all the high-nickel and chromium-nickel maraging steels and various methods of thermo-mechanical treatment for age-hardening alloys. In all cases the decomposition processes involve a high density of structural defects. Explanation of the decomposition mechanism in connection with specific types of defects is an urgent problem, the solution of which is already possible with present techniques of electron microscopy (crystallographic analysis of structural defects and new formations is possible with the use of goniometric devices in transmission electron microscopy).

Further development of mathematical methods is needed for investigating phase transformations in alloys and refining the quantitative theory of the processes of precipitation and coalescence used for present-day multicomponent alloys and combined treatment.

The major problem in this area of metal science is to obtain more complete characteristics of the structure of the material in the state of maximum hardness and establish quantitative relationships between the structural and strength characteristics.
