    Four kinds of Al2O3-TiO2 coatings with different TiO2 contents were prepared on cast iron substrate by plasma spraying. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique combined with the Rietveld whole pattern fitting method was used to determine the phase's content in different coatings. The effects of TiO2 content on mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated by means of the microhardness measurement and tensile testing. The results indicate that there are a large amount of γ-Al2O3, α-Al2O3 and a small quantity of amorphous phase in Al2O3-3wt%TiO2 coating; the maximum value of the amorphous content appears, and Al2TiO5 phase forms in Al2O3-13wt%TiO2 coating. With the further increase of the TiO2 content, the amount of the amorphous phase decreases, and Al2TiO5 phase's content increases in coatings. There are only α-Al2O3 and Al2TiO5 phases in the Al2O3-40wt%TiO2 coating. The microhardness of the coatings decrease but the adhesion strength enhance with the increase of TiO2 contents, this can be attributed to the formation of the Al2TiO5 phase.

    Normalizing and quenching treatment were carried out on ultra-low carbon X80 pipeline steel, and then the influence of microstructures on the hydrogen-induced cracking behavior of the steel was investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technology. The results show that the tested steel before heat treatment owned acicular ferrite structure, and its HIC resistance was better than the HIC resistance of polygonal ferrite structure after normalizing and bainite ferrite structure after quenching. The uniform distribution of high and low angle grain boundaries was of benefit to the improvement of HIC resistance of the test steel,meanwhile high density low-angle grain boundaries could prevent the extend of hydrogen induced crack.

    The present fatigue life evaluation approach for aluminum alloy containing defects is based on depth extension of crack which is hidden inside and hard to be directly obtained. In order to find the relation between depth extension and surface cracks length, fatigue experiment was carried out on aluminum alloy 7A09 with prior corrosion damage, and propagation rules of corrosion pit cracks along depth direction was found by analyzing the fatigue fracture by using scanning electron microscope and energy disperse microscope. Results indicate that the fatigue fratography exhibits brittle fracture morphology, and the accumulation of the second phase particles will inversely enhance embrittlement by reducing plasticity. For fracture dominated by solo crack, the depth extension and the surface length of crack displays a linear relationship which provide a way to evaluate depth extension of a crack based on the detectable surface length, which is valuable to residual life prediction of structure. For multiple fatigue, there is uncertain relation between extension length and depth of crack.

    Firstly, normal annealing and stress relief annealing were carried out on electron beam welded joint of TC18 titanium alloys, and then the effects of annealing treatments on microstructure, tensile and impact properties of the welded joint were studied; the properties of the welded joint were compared with that of the base metal. It is shown that, compared with the stress relief annealing, the content of α phase in the normal annealed joint decreased significantly while the content of β phase increased dramatically. Compared with the stress relief annealing, the strength of the joint adopting normal annealing was lower, while its plasticity was higher. After normal and stress relief annealing treatments, the tensile properties of base metal and welded joint were similar, but the impact property of base metal was better than that of the welded joint.

    Welding experiment was carried out on FV520(B) steels, and then different heat treatments were carried out on base metal and welded joint. Then corrosion experiments of base metal and welded joint were executed in 10wt% H2SO4 solution to study the effects of heat treatment processes on corrosion resistance of welded joint. The results show that, after different heat treatments, the surface corrosion morphology of FV520(B) steel welded joint was relatively uniform, but deep fault and ravined corrosion pits were found near the fusion zone. Under the same heat treatment conditions, the corrosion rate of base metal was higher than that of the welded joint. The corrosion resistance of welded joint and base metal could be improved through adding intermediate treatment between solid solution and aging processes. After intermediate treatment at 850℃, the welded joint owned more uniform surface morphology than the welded joint after intermediate treatment at 750℃.

    An analytical computational model was built based on the Mori-Tanaka method and Eshelby's equivalent inclusion principle, which was used to predict mechanical properties of multi-phase anisotropic TiB2 reinforced steel composite, and the effects of reinforcement's aspect ratio, volume fraction and orientation on longitudinal and transverse elasticity modulus of the composite were studied. Results show that the analytical model can predict different kinds of metal-matrix composites with high level precision. The reinforcements with larger aspect ratio can significantly raise the composite's longitudinal modulus, while diminishing the transverse modulus only by a small amount. The volume fraction of reinforcement always has a positive correlation with elasticity modulus. With the increase of the angle between the alignment of the reinforcement and the loading direction, the longitudinal modulus increases first and then decreases.

    Thermal simulation compression experiment was carried out on 20CrNi2Mo steel by using phase change instrument, and the steel's thermal compressive deformation behavior at 840℃ under different deformations (0-50%) was studied. The steel's microstructure and hardness were also analyzed. The results show that the flow stress curve of 20CrNi2Mo steel exhibits obvious dynamic recrystallization characteristics. When the deformation amount reaches 10%, the dynamic recrystallization occurs. With the increase of the thermal compression deformation, the grain size is refined and subsequently can almost be kept stable. When the deformation amount reaches 50%, the specimen is completely recrystallized. In addition, with the increase of the thermal compression deformation, martensite is refined gradually, the content of residual austenite decreases. When the compression deformation changes from 10% to 20%, the hardness increases significantly, and then tends to stabilization.

    The welding process of Q1100 high-strength steel was simulated with Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator, and then SHCCT(simulated HAZ continuous cooling transformation) diagram of the steel was obtained by using thermal expansion measurement combined with microstructure analysis and hardness testing. The microstructure transformation characteristics and hardness change rule of coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) were studied at different cooling rates. The results show that, the austenitizing temperature of the steel in simulated welding condition was significantly higher than that in the equilibrium state. The CGHAZ was full bainite when the cooling rate was under 2℃·s-1, a mixed microstructure of bainite and martensite was obtained when the cooling rate was 2-12℃·s-1, and the CGHAZ was full martensite when the cooling rate was over 12℃·s-1. The hardness of CGHAZ increased gradually with the increase of cooling rate.
