Abstract
7xxx series aluminum alloys possess extremely high cold working yield strength, which make hot working processes essential for component manufacturing. Preheating specimens before or between hot rolling processes significantly affects the mechanical properties of the hot rolled Al alloy sheets, depending on the preheating temperature and time. In this study,..... More

Abstract
Alloy design of 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metals was carried out through thermodynamic simulation, and elevated temperature tensile testing was performed on the designed alloy. Based on the thermodynamic simulation of the 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metal, 0.09 to 0.10 wt% C was added to increase Cr-rich M₂₃C₆. Nitrogen was reduced from 0.04 to..... More
