Hot Cracking in AZ31 and AZ61 Magnesium Alloy

This paper examined the impact of the number of thermal cycles and augmented strain on hot cracking in AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloy. Statistical analyses were performed. Following observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) was used for component analysis. Results showed that Al content in magnesium alloy has an effect on hot cracking susceptibility. In addition, the nonequilibrium solidification process produced segregation in Al content, causing higher liquid Mg-alloy rich Al content at grain boundaries, and resulting into liquefied grain boundaries of partially melted zone (PMZ). In summary, under multiple thermal cycles AZ61 produced serious liquation cracking. AZ61 has higher (6 wt%) Al content and produced much liquefied Mg17Al12 at grain boundaries under multiple thermal cycles. The liquefied Mg17Al12 were pulled apart and hot cracks formed at weld metal HAZ due to the augmented strain. Since AZ31 had half the Al content of AZ61, its hot-cracking susceptibility was lower than AZ61. In addition, AZ61 showed longer total crack length (TCL) in one thermal cycle compared to that in three thermal cycles. This phenomenon was possibly due to high-temperature gasification of Al during the welding process, which resulted in lower overall Al content. Consequently, shorter hot cracks exhibited in three thermal cycles. It was found the Al content of AZ31 and AZ61 can be used to assess the hot-cracking susceptibility.     

The effect of cerium on high-cycle fatigue properties of die-cast magnesium alloy

The effect of cerium (Ce) on high‐cycle fatigue behaviour of die‐cast magnesium alloy AZ91D was investigated. Mechanical fatigue tests were conducted at the stress ratio, R= 0.1 on specimens of AZ91D alloys with different Ce additions. The microstructure and fatigue fracture surfaces of specimens were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to reveal the micromechanisms of fatigue crack initiation and propagation. The results show that the grain size of AZ91D is refined, and the amount of porosity decreases and evenly distributes with the addition of Ce. The fatigue strength of AZ91D evaluated by the up‐and‐down load method increases from 96.7 MPa to 116.3 MPa (1% Ce) and 105.5 MPa (2% Ce), respectively. The fatigue cracking of AZ91D alloy initiates at porosities and inclusions of the alloy's interior, and propagates along the grain boundaries. The fatigue fracture surface of test specimens shows the mixed fracture characteristics of quasi‐cleavage and dimple.     

Microstructure and rolling capability of modified AZ31–Ce–Gd alloys

AZ31–Ce–Gd alloys were studied and the influence of cerium (Ce) and gadolinium (Gd) on the microstructure and rolling capability of AZ31 alloy was investigated. The results indicated that the grains of AZ31 alloy were refined with Ce and Gd addition. Ce and Gd addition resulted in the formation of Al₄Ce, Al₂Gd and Mg₃Gd. After homogenization and rolling, the Al₄Ce, Al₂Gd and Mg₃Gd still existed. The rolling capability of AZ31 alloy was improved obviously with Ce and Gd addition. However, once Gd content increased to a certain value, the rolling capability of the modified alloy declined but still better than that of AZ31 alloy.

Microstructural study of cold forged and annealed Mg alloys

Cold forging deformations (3 and 8%) were carried out on extruded AZ31 and AZ61 Mg alloys, and subsequent annealing is performed at 573?K for different durations. The microstructure evolution is investigated and further analysed. The results show that the thick lenticular twinning is mainly formed at initial deformation stage and subsequently transforms into narrow band twinning. Compared to AZ31, AZ61 produces broader twins with lower volume fraction in response to 3% cold forging due to Al–Mn phase hindering the twinning activity and plastic deformation. Twin boundary plays an important role in refining grains as it provides the nucleation sites of static recrystallisation. Moreover, as for AZ61, the starting and ending times of static recrystallisation are much later than those of AZ31.     

Influence of Pd addition on the creep behavior of AZ61 magnesium alloy

The effect of Pd addition (0, 2, and 4 wt%) on the microstructure and creep properties of permanent mold AZ61 (Mg-6Al-1Zn) alloy has been studied. The results indicate that Pd addition introduces a lamella-shaped Al₄Pd phase at the grain boundary, in addition to the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ (β) phase. The addition of Pd also suppresses the precipitation of the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase and residual Al at grain boundaries during solidification. These effects lead to an improvement in the creep behavior of AZ61. Moreover, extended steady-state creep and reductions in both the minimum creep rate and total creep strain are also observed in the case of 4 wt% Pd addition.
