稀土钇对铸态Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn合金显微组织和力学性能的影响

镁锂(Mg-Li)合金是现今最轻的金属结构材料,在航空航天及交通运输等领域具有重大的应用价值。但铸造镁锂合金绝对强度低限制了其发展和应用。在Mg-Li二元合金中添加铝(Al)、锌(Zn)和稀土元素钇(Y)三种强化元素制备Mg-Li-Al-Zn-Y五元铸态镁锂合金来提高镁锂合金的力学性能。利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和力学性能测试对比研究添加稀土Y前后铸态Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn合金中相组成、微观组织和力学性能,揭示稀土元素Y对铸态Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn合金的增强机制和断裂机理。结果表明:铸态Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn合金主要包含3种相:基体α-Mg、第二相AlLi和MgLi2Zn。添加1.0%(质量分数)Y后,铸态镁锂合金中AlLi相消失,并析出了大量富集在α-Mg晶界处的硬质Al2Y相,合金的晶粒发生细化。与Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn(抗拉强度134.40 MPa、屈服强度96.46 MPa和伸长率7.5%)相比,Mg-8Li-3Al-3Zn-1Y抗拉强度、屈服强度和伸长率依次为189.99 MPa、128.2 MPa和7.8%,分别提高了41.4%、32.9%和4%。合金的断裂方式由解理断裂转变为准解理断裂。铸态镁锂合金力学性能的提高主要归因于Al2Y的形成及其对α-Mg相的细化作用。     

Nd对Mg-6Al铸态合金拉伸性能的影响

研究Nd对Mg-6Al铸态合金拉伸性能的影响。结果表明：室温和175 ℃下,Mg-6Al-xNd(x=0,2,4,6,质量分数, 下同)合金的屈服强度随Nd含量增加而增加,在6.0%Nd时达到最大;抗拉强度和延伸率在4.0%Nd时达到最大,当Nd含量上升至6.0%时,两者均有少量下降。组织分析表明,Nd在Mg-6Al中以针状Al11Nd3和多边形状Al2Nd相存在,其中前者含量明显高于后者,为主要析出相。Al11Nd3相析出于枝晶界和晶界,有效细化了枝晶间距和晶粒度。通过建立软硬体复合模型对合金拉伸过程进行力学分析,并结合拉伸断口观察,综合认为Mg-6Al-xNd合金拉伸性能的提高主要归结于Al11Nd3相引起的细晶强化和第二相强化作用。Nd含量达到6.0%时合金抗拉强度和延伸率出现少量下降,主要归结于大块脆性相Al2Nd含量的增加     

Influence of yttrium on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn alloy

The influence of Y on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn alloy was investigated. The results show that the phase compositions of Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn consist of α-Mg and AlLi phases. Adding Y to the alloy results in the formation of Al₂Y compound and facilitates grain refinement. The addition of 0.8 wt.% Y produces the smallest grain size. The tensile tests performed at room temperature show that the additions of Y can improve the mechanical properties of the alloy; the tensile strength and ductility reach peak values when the Y additions are 0.8 wt.% and 1.2 wt.%, respectively. The mechanisms of improvement are related to grain refinement and compound strengthening effects.     

Enhancement of mechanical properties of duplex Mg-9Li-3Al alloy by Sn and Y addition

For enhancement of mechanical properties in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys, Mg-9Li-3Al duplex alloys were alloyed by addition of Sn and Y. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property response of as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al alloys by alloying with Sn and Y were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and tensile tests. The results indicate that considerable blocky dendrites of primary α phase in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys become lath-like due to the addition of Sn. With addition of Y, Mg-9Li-3Al alloy consists of both block-like and lath-like α-Mg dendrites. The as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al-1Sn-1Y alloy shows a yield strength of 118 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 148 MPa and the elongation to failure of 21%. Improvement in both strength and elongation of Mg-9Li-3Al alloys with Sn and Y addition is attributed to the combined action of MgLi₂Sn and Al₂Y intermetallic compounds.

制备了Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn-xCe(x=0-2.5;质量分数,%)铸态合金,并将所得合金分别于300°C和370°C进行均匀化和固溶处理;研究固溶处理后合金显微组织和拉伸性能的变化。结果表明,合金中加入Ce后出现Al2Ce/Al3Ce析出相,此时合金主要由α-Mg、Al2Ce、Al3Ce和AlLi相组成;固溶处理后合金中AlLi和Al-Ce析出相数量减少。析出相的数量与形态对合金的力学性能十分重要,含有1.0%Ce的合金获得了优良的拉伸性能。固溶处理后Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn-0.5Ce合金的强度和伸长率都得到了大幅度的提高,这是因为合金在固溶处理后由于基体中的溶质原子增加而获得良好的固溶强化作用。

利用磁悬浮真空高频感应加热法熔炼高质量的镁锂合金,通过Si、Nd元素复合添加来研究其对Mg-11Li-3Al合金组织与力学性能的影响。结果表明:加入Si、Nd元素后,组织中主要生成Mg_2Si和Al_(11_Nd_3 2种第二相,其中Si的添加能够促使合金组织中形成篆体形貌的黑色析出物聚集区,而Nd的加入能够细化这种黑色棒状的析出物,并减小晶粒尺寸、洁净组织。当Nd的添加量为1%(质量分数)时其晶粒细化的效果最佳。经过XRD和EDS分析发现,这种黑色棒状的析出物为Mg_2Si相和Al_(11)Nd_3相的结合体。铸态合金的抗拉强度随着Si含量的增加递增,最后趋于稳定;其塑性并不会随某一种或是复合元素的添加而单调变化。实验得到了一种综合力学性能最佳的合金Mg-11Li-3Al-1Si-1Nd,其抗拉强度和伸长率分别为212.3 MPa和46.2%。

Effects of Sb Addition on Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Mg–9Al–5Sn Alloy

The Mg–9Al–5Sn-xSb(x=0.0,0.3,0.6,1.0,1.5 wt%) alloys were prepared by a simple alloying process followed by hot extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 28.2. The effects of Sb additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg–9 Al–5 Sn alloys were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The results indicated that the phases α-Mg matrix, Mg_2_Sn, Mg_3Sb_2 and Mg_17 Al_12 exist in the as-cast Sb-containing alloys. Sb addition results in the precipitation of Mg_3Sb_2. The dendritic size of these alloys decreases with the addition of Sb. Both their ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of extruded alloys increase, and their elongation decreases gradually with increasing the content of Sb. The better mechanical properties of the as-extruded alloys were achieved due to the refined grains and the formation of dispersive second phases Mg_3Sb_2.     

Microstructure and strengthening mechanisms of Mg-6Al-6Nd alloy

The microstructure and strengthening mechanisms of as-cast Mg-6Al-6Nd alloy were studied. The results show that the addition of 6 wt.% Nd into Mg-6Al alloy leads to the precipitation of Al11Nd3 and Al2Nd phases and decrease in the content of Al solid soluted in Mg-Al matrix. The volume fractions of Al11Nd3 and Al2Nd phases are 3.64% and 0.34%, respectively. Compared with Mg-6Al alloy, the ultimate strength, yielding strength, and elongation of Mg-6Al-6Nd alloy at room temperature and 175°C are enhanced in some degrees. The strengthening mechanisms of Mg-6Al-6Nd alloy are mainly composed of solid solution strengthening of Al solid soluted in Mg-Al matrix and grain refinement strengthening, dispersion strengthening, and composite strengthening brought by the precipitation of Al11Nd3 phase. The composite strengthening includes the load transfer from the matrix to Al11Nd3 phase and the enhancement of dislocation density due to the geometrical mismatch and thermal mismatch between the matrix and Al11Nd3 phase.

The improvement of the tensile strength is mainly attributed to the fine and dispersively distributed plate-shaped β′ metastable phase.

Effects of Cu addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn magnesium alloy

The application of Mg-Zn binary alloys is restricted due to their developed dendritic microstructure and poor mechanical properties. In this study, an alloying method was used to improve the mechanical properties of Mg-Zn alloy. The Mg-6Zn magnesium alloys microalloyed with varying Cu content(0, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5wt.%) were fabricated by permanent mould casting, and the effects of Cu content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn alloys were studied using OM, SEM, XRD and tensile tests at room temperature. The obtained results show that the addition of Cu not only can refine the grains effectively, but also can modify the eutectic morphology and improve the mechanical properties of the alloys. The main phases of the studied alloys include α-Mg, MgZn_2, Mg_2Cu and CuMgZn. When the content of Cu exceeds 0.8wt.%, Mg_2Cu phase appears. Meanwhile, the eutectic morphology is modified into dendritic shape or lamellar structure, which has an adverse effect on the tensile properties. Furthermore, among the investigated alloys, the alloy containing 0.8% Cu shows an optimalultimate tensile strength of 196 MPa, while the alloy with 1.5wt.% Cu obtains an excellent elongation of 7.22%. The experimental alloys under different Cu contents show distinguishing fracture behaviors: the fracture of the alloy with 0.8wt.% Cu reveals a mixed mode of inter-granular and quasi-cleavage, while in other investigated alloys, the fracture behaviors are dominated by cleavage fracture.
