研究了3种成分的Mg-11Gd-(1,1.5,2)Zn合金的显微组织和力学性能。结果表明,合金的铸态显微组织均由α-Mg基体、(Mg,Zn)3Gd共晶相和14H型LPSO相组成。铸态组织中(Mg,Zn)3Gd相的体积分数随Zn含量的增加而增大,且其热稳定性不断提高。同时,合金中LPSO相的体积分数也随Zn含量的增加而逐渐增大。合金在常温时的抗拉强度随着Zn含量的增加而降低,其中Zn含量较少的Mg-11Gd-1Zn合金在T6处理后呈现最高的强度和良好的塑性。当Zn含量较多时,合金T6处理的效果却远低于T5处理。随Zn含量的增加,合金在200℃高温下的抗蠕变性能也略有下降,但3种合金的抗蠕变性能都优于WE54合金。

MICROSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Zn—Al ALLOY ROD PRODUCED BY HEATED MOLD CONTINUOUS CASTING

The new technology of continuous casting by heated mold was used to produce directional solidification ZA alloy lines to eliminate the inter defects of these lines and increase their mechanical properties. The results are as follows: (1) The microstruc-ture of the ZA alloy lines is the parallel directional dendritic columnar crystal. Every dendritic crystal of eutectic alloy ZA5 was composed of many layer eutectic β and η phases. The micro structure of hypereutectic ZA alloys is primary dendritic crystal and interdendritic eutectic structure. The primary phase of ZA8 and ZA12 is β, among them, but the primary phase of ZA22 and ZA27 is a. (2) Through the test to the as-cast ZA alloy lines made in continuous casting by heated mold, it is found that the tensile strength and hardness increase greatly, but the elongation decreases. With the increase of aluminum amount from ZA 5 to ZA 12, ZA22 and ZA27, the tensile strength increases gradually. ZA27 has the best comprehensive mechanical properties in these

The alloys studied with the mass ratio of Zn to Al of 2–3 exhibit high creep resistance, and the alloy ZA124 with the continuous network of τ precipitating along grain boundaries shows the highest creep resistance.

To improve the strength,hardness and heat resistance of Mg-Zn based alloys,the effects of Cu addition on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb high zinc magnesium alloy were investigated by means of Brinell hardness measurement,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),XRD and tensile tests at room and elevated temperatures.The results show that the microstructure of as-cast Mg-10Zn-5Al-0.1Sb alloy is composed of α-Mg,t-Mg32(Al,Zn)49,φ-Al2Mg5Zn2 and Mg3Sb2 phases.The morphologies of these phases in the Cu-containing alloys change from semi-continuous long strip to black herringbone as well as particle-like shapes with increasing Cu content.When the addition of Cu is over 1.0wt.%,the formation of a new thermally-stable Mg2Cu phase can be observed.The Brinell hardness,room temperature and elevated temperature strengths firstly increase and then decrease as the Cu content increases.Among the Cu-containing alloys,the alloy with the addition of 2.0wt.% Cu exhibits the optimum mechanical properties.Its hardness and strengths at room and elevated temperatures are 79.35 HB,190MPa and 160MPa,which are increased by 9.65%,21.1% and 14.3%,respectively compared with those of the Cu-free one.After T6 heat treatment,the strengths at room and elevated temperatures are improved by 20% and 10%,respectively compared with those of the as-cast alloy.This research results provide a new way for strengthening of magnesium alloys at room and elevated temperatures,and a method of producing thermally-stable Mg-10Zn-5Al based high zinc magnesium alloys.

通过凝固冷却速率调整Zn-1Mg-(0.5Mn,0.5Ca)合金的显微组织和显微硬度

生物可降解锌基合金,特别是添加合金元素的锌-镁(Zn-Mg)合金,已获得广泛研究以改善其力学性能和腐蚀性能。由于这些性能主要依赖于合金的显微组织,因此任何评价都应该从了解影响其形成的条件开始。本研究旨在探讨凝固冷却速率对Zn-1Mg-(0.5Ca, 0.5Mn)(质量分数,%)合金瞬态凝固过程中显微组织演化的影响。结果表明,两种合金的显微组织均含有3种相:η-Zn枝晶基体、Zn11Mg2金属间化合物和低共熔混合物中的Zn2Mg。MnZn9和两种含Ca相(CaZn11和CaZn13)分别与Mn和Ca的添加有关。与Zn-1Mg(质量分数,%)合金相比,添加Mn和Ca元素可以细化枝晶基体和低共熔混合物。建立冷却速率、枝晶间距或共晶间距之间的关系,从而提出实验生长规律。此外,为了研究添加Ca和Mn的效果,进行硬度测试。维氏显微硬度与二次枝晶间距之间的实验相关性表明,与二元合金相比,显微组织细化和典型的Ca、Mn基金属间化合物是导致硬度增加的主要原因。

Si对ZA84镁合金凝固过程中三元化合物相选择的影响

借助X射线衍射仪、扫描电镜和差示扫描量热仪等分析手段研究了Si对金属型铸造ZA84（Mg-8Zn-4Al-0.3Mn）镁合金中τ（Mg32（Al,Zn）49）和φ（Al2Mg5Zn2）两相之间的相选择影响。结果表明,随着ZA84合金中Si加入量的增加,合金的液相线温度下降,并且凝固区间减小。ZA84合金中的三元金属间化合物主要是τ相,φ相只占少量。当在ZA84合金中加入一定量的元素Si时,三元金属间化合物的优先析出次序发生改变,φ相优先析出而τ相被抑制。对相选择现象进行凝固动力学分析表明,在过冷熔体中存在临界过冷度,τ相与φ相析出时若熔体的过冷度大于此临界值,则τ相优先析出而φ相受到抑制,否则,φ相优先析出而τ相被抑制。

Effects of minor Sr,Sn and Sc addition on as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of ZA84 magnesium alloy

The effects of minor Sr, Sn and Sc addition on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of the ZA84 magnesium alloy were compared. The results indicate that addition of 0.1%Sr, 0.5%Sn or 0.3%Sc (mass fraction) to the ZA84 alloy can refine the grains of the alloy. Furthermore, addition of 0.1%Sr to the ZA84 alloy does not obviously change the morphology and distribution of Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase. However, addition of 0.5%Sn or 0.3%Sc not only refines and modifies the Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase but also suppresses the formation of Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase, especially with the addition of 0.3%Sc. Furthermore, addition of 0.1%Sr, 0.5%Sn or 0.3%Sc to the ZA84 alloy improves the tensile properties at room temperature and 150℃, especially with the addition of 0.1%Sr and 0.3%Sc. However, addition of 0.1%Sr is not beneficial to the creep properties, and addition of 0.5%Sn has no obvious influence on the creep properties. Oppositely, addition of 0.3%Sc to the ZA84 alloy greatly improves the creep properties.

Mg-(11-13)Gd-1Zn变形镁合金的组织和力学性能

制备了3种成分的Mg-Gd-Zn三元合金,并对其显微组织和力学性能进行了较系统的研究.结果表明,Mg-（11-13）Gd-1Zn（质量分数,%）三元合金的铸态组织由α-Mg,（Mg,Zn）₃Gd和具有14H结构的长周期堆垛有序相（14H-LPSO）组成;（Mg,Zn）₃Gd呈现典型的网状共晶形貌,其体积分数随Gd含量的增加而增大.热挤压过程中（Mg,Zn）₃Gd相破碎,其颗粒沿挤压方向排列,而14H-LPSO相则分布于条状分布的（Mg,Zn）₃Gd颗粒之间.铸态和挤压态合金在高温固溶处理后,14H-LPSO相的体积分数增加,大部分（Mg,Zn）₃Gd相溶入基体.挤压态合金经固溶和时效（T6）处理后,显微组织中14H-LPSO相的体积分数大幅度增加,而且出现了β′和β₁沉淀颗粒.对挤压后的合金直接进行时效处理（T5）过程中也形成了β′和β₁沉淀,但14H-LPSO相没有显著增加.3种合金中Mg-11Gd-1Zn合金在T6态的性能最好,抗拉强度高达416 MPa.     

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.
