铸造工艺对Mg-12Zn-1Y合金组织与力学性能的影响

特定Zn、Y含量的Mg-Zn-Y合金能原位形成二十面体准晶增强I相(I-Mg₃Zn₆Y),但常规铸造凝固条件下形成的准晶组织粗大,难以发挥其性能优势。研究了重力铸造、挤压铸造及流变挤压铸造工艺制备的Mg-12Zn-1Y合金的组织和力学性能。结果表明,在重力铸造的合金组织中,大量粗大的I相和Mg₇Zn₃相聚集在一起。挤压铸造使I相转变为细小的层片状,且Mg₇Zn₃含量降低。对于流变挤压铸造的合金,随着制浆过程中超声功率增大,α-Mg晶粒得到较大程度的细化和球化,共晶组织间距明显减小,而随着超声功率持续增加到2 400 W时,共晶组织出现一定程度富集。当超声功率为1 600 W时,合金的力学性能最优,屈服强度、抗拉强度和伸长率分别为185 MPa、276 MPa和6.8%,相较于挤压铸造分别提高了35.0%、24.9%和142.9%。

Effect of ageing treatment on microstructures,mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Mg-Zn-RE-Zr alloy micro-alloyed with Ca and Sr

Effects of ageing treatment on the microstructures, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr-xCa-ySr [x=0, 0.2 (wt.%), y=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 (wt.%)] alloys were investigated. Results showed that Ca or/and Sr additions promoted the precipitation hardening behavior of Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr alloy and shortened the time to reaching peak hardness from 13 h to 12 h. The maximum hardness of 77.1±0.6 HV for the peak-aged Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr-0.2Ca-0.2Sr alloy was obtained. The microstructures of peak-aged alloys mainly consist of α-Mg phase, Mg₅₁Zn₂₀ phase and ternary T-phase. The Zn-Zr phase is formed within the α-Mg matrix, and the Mg₂Ca phase is formed near T-phase due to the enrichment of Ca in front of the solid-liquid interface. Furthermore, fine short rod-shaped β′₁ phase is precipitated within the α-Mg matrix in the peak-aged condition. The peak-aged Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr-0.2Ca-0.2Sr alloy exhibits optimal mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength of 208 MPa, yield strength of 150 MPa and elongation of 3.5%, which is mainly attributed to precipitation strengthening. In addition, corrosion properties of experimental alloys in the 3.5wt.% NaCl solution were studied by the electrochemical tests, weight loss, hydrogen evolution measurement and corrosion morphology observation. The results suggest that peak-aged alloys show reduced corrosion rates compared with the as-cast alloys, and minor additions of Ca and/or Sr improve the corrosion resistance of the Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr alloy. The peak-aged Mg-4.2Zn-1.7RE-0.8Zr-0.2Ca-0.2Sr alloy possesses the best corrosion resistance, which is mainly due to the continuous and compact barrier wall constructed by the homogeneous and continuous second phases.

     

Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6Zn-4Sm-0.4Zr alloy

A new rare earth magnesium alloy(Mg-6 Zn-4 Sm-0.4 Zr, wt.%) was prepared by permanent mould casting. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy sample in as-cast and various heat treatment situations were characterized with an optical microscope(OM), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscope(EDS), transmission electron microscope(TEM) and mechanical tests at room temperature, respectively. The experimental results show that the as-cast alloy mainly consists of α-Mg, eutectic Mg_2Zn_3, MgZnSm and Mg_(41)Sm_5. These eutectic phases with continuous or semicontinuous morphology principally distribute along grain boundaries. Almost all the eutectic compounds dissolve in α-Mg and the grains have no obvious growth trend after optimum solution treatment at 490 °C for 18 h. Meanwhile, the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) of 229 MPa and elongation(EL) to rupture of 9.78% can be achieved through the optimal solution treatment, which increase by 37 MPa and 57.74%, respectively, compared with that of the as-cast alloy. Further aging treatments at 200 °C for different durations lead to the conspicuous increment of mechanical properties and prominent age-hardening response. Peak-aged alloy(treated at 200 °C for 12 h) reveals better mechanical properties(UTS 258 MPa, EL 9.42%, hardness 73.4 HV) compared with the same alloy treated in other aging conditions, which is mainly ascribed to precipitated Mg_2Zn_3 and MgZn_2 phases. Fracture analysis demonstrates that the as-cast alloy belongs to inter-granular and cleavage fracture patterns, while the solutionized alloy(treated at 490 °C for 18 h) reveals trans-granular and quasi-cleavage fracture modes. For the peak-aged alloy, the fracture pattern obeys the mixture of trans-granular and cleavage modes.     

Sn对Mg-5Li合金铸态和挤压态组织的影响

在氩气保护气氛下熔炼,得到Mg-5Li-xSn（x=0.15,0.25和0.65,质量分数）系列合金。通过光学显微镜、扫描电镜、X射线衍射仪和能谱仪分析合金的显微组织。结果表明,Mg-5Li合金中添加的Sn元素可以起到明显的晶粒细化作用,当Sn含量从0.15%增加到0.65%时,铸态合金的平均晶粒尺寸从556μm细化到345μm,相应的挤压态合金的晶粒从33μm减小到23μm。近似网状的第二相Mg2Sn分布在铸态合金的晶界上,挤压之后,颗粒状的Mg2Sn主要分布在晶粒内部。这些金属间化合物在挤压动态再结晶中可以作为有效的形核质点,从而起到细化晶粒的作用。     

Investigation on microstructure characterizations and phase compositions of rapidly solidification/powder metallurgy Mg-6 wt.% Zn-5 wt.% Ce-1.5 wt.% Ca alloy

Rapidly solidification/powder metallurgy (RS/PM) Mg-6Zn-5Ce-1.5Ca (wt.%) alloy in form of rods has been prepared by hot extrusion with RS powders, produced via atomizing the alloy melt and subsequent splat-quenching on the water-cooled copper twin-rollers. Microstructure characterizations and phase compositions of the alloy have been investigated. The results showed that the RS/PM Mg-6Zn-5Ce-1.5Ca alloy was the characteristics of very fine grains with the size ranging from 200 to 650 nm and was composed of α-Mg, Mg_xZn_yCe_z phase with a few Ca (about 1 at.%) shortened as the Mg_xZn_yCe_z-(Ca) phase, and a small quantity of Mg₅₁Zn₂₀ phases. The melting point of the Mg_xZn_yCe_z-(Ca) phase in the alloy was a little higher than that of the Mg_xZn_yCe_z phase in RS/PM Mg-6Zn-5Ce alloy, which may be due to the dissolving of Ca in it. Moreover, the atomic percentage ratio of Zn to Ce in the Mg_xZn_yCe_z-(Ca) phase around the grain boundary was close to 1.5.     

Mg-Zn-Y-Nd-Zr合金的显微组织、织构、力学性能

对Mg-Zn-Y-Nd-Zr合金的显微组织和力学性能进行了研究。结果表明,Nd元素的加入部分取代了W相（Mg₃Zn₃Y₂）中的Y元素,形成了新的第二相Mg₃Zn₃(Y, Nd)₂。热挤压后观察到由细小的等轴再结晶晶粒和粗大的细长未再结晶晶粒组成的典型双峰结构。Nd元素的加入促进了热挤压过程中的动态再结晶,随着Nd含量的增加,动态再结晶率增加,挤压态合金的整体织构强度减弱。Nd的加入细化了晶粒并改善了合金的力学性能。添加0.5%（质量分数）Nd时,挤压态合金表现出高强度和高塑性的良好结合：屈服强度为362 MPa,极限抗拉伸强度为404 MPa,延伸率为10.2%。时效处理后合金的抗拉伸强度进一步提高,峰值时效极限抗拉伸强度可达421 MPa。合金的高强度主要归功于超细再结晶晶粒和析出强化。     

不同Zn/Cu质量比对Mg-Zn-Cu显微组织和性能的影响

论文采用光学显微镜、X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜及显微硬度测试、室温和高温拉伸性能测试、蠕变性能测试研究了Ce和不同的Zn /Cu质量比对Mg-Zn-Cu显微组织和室温及高温力学性能的变化规律、高温变形性能、强化机制和抗蠕变性能的影响。研究结果表明,室温下挤压态Mg-8Zn-8Cu-Ce的拉伸强度和屈服强度分别为320 MPa和291 MPa,在423K温度下,拉伸强度仍高于220MPa。合金具有优良的蠕变性能,稳态蠕变速率为1.21×10_-8 s_-1,蠕变量仅为0.562%。在相同的变形温度下,铸造Mg-7Zn-3Cu-Ce的真实应力随着应变速率的增大而增大,表明合金是应变速率敏感材料。相同的应变速率下,合金的真实应力随着温度的升高而减小,但没有明显的动态再结晶和软化现象。     

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。     

Microstructural evolution and mechanical performance of cast Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.5Zr alloy with Y additions

This work investigated the effects of different Y additions (0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 wt.%) on the microstructural evolution and mechanical performance of cast Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.5Zr alloy. The results show that as the Y content increases, the key secondary phases in as-cast alloys change from the Mg₁₂Nd type to the Mg₂₄Y₅ type. Meanwhile, the number density of Zn-Zr particles in the grains of as-quenched alloys gradually decreases. HAADF-STEM observations of peak-aged samples reveal that element Y is greatly enriched in the globular β′ precipitates, leading to a significantly increased volume fraction and promoted precipitation kinetics of β′ precipitates, resulting in enhanced strength of the alloy. Tensile tests reveal that, with the addition of 4.5 wt.% Y, the yield strength of the base alloy is substantially increased by 88 and 61 MPa after being aged at 200 and 225 °C under peak-aged conditions, respectively.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-8Li-2Zn-0.5(Ce, Y) alloys

0.5 wt.% Ce and Y were added into the alloy of Mg-8Li-2Zn, respectively. The different behaviors of Ce and Y in the alloy were investigated. Results show that, Ce and Y can both refine the α phase, and the α phase was spheroidized. Two kinds of compounds exist in the alloy when the alloy contains Ce/Y. They are Zn₂Ce and Mg₆Y, respectively. Zn₂Ce mainly distributes at the grain boundary of the alloy with the shape of blocky. Mg₆Y mainly distributes in the inner place of grains with the shape of granular. The size of Zn₂Ce is much larger than that of Mg₆Y. Y and Ce are both favorable for the improvement of strength, and the effect of Y is more obvious. The addition of Ce makes the elongation of the alloy become poor, while the addition of Y can increase the elongation of the alloy.
