Microstructural stability and high-temperature mechanical properties of AZ91 and AZ91 + 2RE magnesium alloys

The effects of 2 wt.% rare earth element addition on the microstructure evolution, thermal stability and shear strength of AZ91 alloy were investigated in the as-cast and annealed conditions. The as-cast structure of AZ91 consists of α-Mg matrix and the β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ intermetallic phase. Due to the low thermal stability of this phase, the strength of AZ91 significantly decreased as the temperature increased. The addition of rare earth elements refined the microstructure and improved both thermal stability and high-temperature mechanical properties of AZ91. This was documented by the retention of the initial fine microstructure and ultimate shear strength (USS) of the rare earth elements-containing material after long-term annealing at 420 °C. The improved stability and strength are attributed to the reduction in the volume fraction of β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and retention of the thermally stable Al₁₁RE₃ intermetallic particles which can hinder grain growth during the annealing process. This behavior is in contrast to that of the base material which developed a coarse grain structure with decreased strength caused by the dissolution of β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ after exposure to high temperature.     

Mechanical characterization and corrosion behavior of newly designed Sn and Y added AZ91 alloy

This paper deals the effect of Sn and Y additions on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of AZ91 alloy. It is found that by the addition of Sn, the formation and growth of discontinuous precipitate get suppressed and new intermetallic Mg₂Sn phase is formed. In the case of Y addition together with Sn, the grain size gets refined, the volume of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ gets decreased and new intermetallic Al₂Y phase is observed. Improved room and high temperature tensile properties are obtained in as-cast and aged Sn and Y added AZ91 alloy. However, maximum properties are obtained for the alloy having combined addition of 0.5 wt.% Sn and 0.9 wt.% Y. Improved corrosion resistance is also noticed with the addition of Sn and Y elements.

Effects of neodymium rich rare earth elements on microstructure and mechanical properties of as cast AZ31 magnesium alloy

Abstract

The effects of neodymium rich rare earth elements [RE(Nd)] on microstructure and mechanical properties of as cast AZ31 magnesium alloy were investigated. The microstructures of as cast AZ31–xRE(Nd) alloys display a dendrite configuration, and the secondary dendrite spacing of the α-Mg phase was decreased with the increasing Nd content. The addition of RE(Nd) resulted in the formation of Al₂Nd and Mg₁₂Nd phases. Mechanical properties were improved significantly due to grain refinement and precipitation of intermetallic phases. When the amount of RE is 1·0 wt-%,The as cast AZ31 alloy reached its maximum tensile strength of 249 MPa at room temperature, yield strength of 169 MPa and elongation of 9·0%.

Microstructure and mechanical behaviour of semi-solid die-casting AZ91D magnesium alloy

Microstructures and mechanical properties of an AZ91D magnesium alloy prepared with semi-solid die-casting (SSDC) were characterized in as-cast conditions. The SSDC alloy exhibits a unique microstructure featuring primary α-Mg globules uniformly distributed in the matrix of fine secondary α-Mg grains and β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ intermetallic. High ultimate tensile strength and elongation have been achieved before fracture. Observations on the vertical-section microstructure of the fractured sample by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that the crack mainly originated from the brittle fracture of the eutectic phase causes the interface decohesion of the ductile Mg phase, making fracture a rather critical event. Before that, the deformation of ductile α-Mg phase in the matrix as well as the “pulling out” of primary α-Mg phase combines to provide the SSDC alloy a certain strain.     

Effects of Ca combined with Sr additions on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91D magnesium alloy

Abstract

Weight reduction to improve automobile fuel economy has triggered renewed interest in magnesium. The effects of Ca/Sr separate and composite additions to AZ91D magnesium alloy on its microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated. The results indicate Ca can refine both the grain and eutectic phase of AZ91D magnesium alloy. Sr hampers microstructure refinement when composite Ca/Sr additions are made. In addition, separate Ca additions to AZ91D magnesium alloy increase yield strength but decrease elongation of this alloy. By adjusting the Ca/Sr composite proportions, additions to AZ91D magnesium alloy are able to improve both microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy.
