TL;DR: In this article, the effect of thermomechanical treatments on the microstructure of molybdenum-titanium and the TZM alloys was described.
Abstract: The present study describes the effect of thermomechanical treatments on the microstructure of molybdenum–titanium and the molybdenum alloy TZM (0.5 wt.% Ti, 0.08 wt.% Zr). These alloys were processed by a powder metallurgical route including extensive rolling at temperatures above 1200 °C achieving deformation degrees of 2.87 (logarithmic). The alloys exhibit a distinct increase in yield stress without decreasing elongation at fracture. To study the recrystallization behaviour, several samples were annealed at temperatures between 1100 °C and 1600 °C for 15 min until 6 h. The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strain rate controlled tensile tests and Vickers hardness measurements are used to determine the mechanical properties. In both alloys a distinct substructure containing subgrains is formed during deformation. A kind of (sub)grain refinement was considered to be responsible for hardening. Present particles are able to raise the recrystallization temperature and thus sustain the grain size effects even at working temperatures above 1200 °C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of microstructure and the structural anisotropy on the orientation-dependent values of the Young's modulus and the mechanical properties are further discussed.
Abstract: This study investigates selective laser melting (SLM) of the nickel based superalloy IN738LC and the cobalt based alloy Mar-M509, and identifies the influence of process and material parameters on the resulting microstructure. Comprehensive microstructural characterization was performed using electron backscattered diffraction analysis. Significant differences between IN738LC and Mar-M509 were observed with respect to grain size, grain shape and texture sharpness. Alloy IN738LC exhibits coarse and elongated grains with a sharp texture and thus a pronounced mechanical anisotropy. Alloy Mar-M509 shows smaller grains with only moderate structural and mechanical anisotropy. The different microstructural and mechanical characteristics are attributed to the different recovery and recrystallization behavior of IN738LC and Mar-M509. The high stacking fault energy (SFE) of IN738LC results in pronounced recovery of lattice defects without affecting the basic grain structure, whereas the low SFE in Mar-M509 favors recrystallization with the effect of significant grain refinement and weakening of the solidification texture. The effect of microstructure and the structural anisotropy on the orientation-dependent values of the Young’s modulus and the mechanical properties are further discussed.
