目的研究挤压态Mg-8.90Gd-5.11Y-3.10Zn-0.47Zr高强镁合金在变形温度300~500℃、应变速率为0.001~1 s-1之间的热变形行为。方法采用Gleeble试验机进行高温单轴压缩试验。结果流变曲线具有典型的动态再结晶特征,应力随应变速率的升高或变形温度的降低而增加。分别采用指数关系、幂指数关系与双曲正弦函数关系对热变形行为进行表征,拟合度最好的是双曲正弦函数关系,平均线性回归系数达到0.974 484。合金的变形激活能随着变形温度的升高呈现下降的趋势。结论热压缩行为可以采用双曲正弦函数关系进行表达,应力指数和平均热激活能分别为:n=3.860 86,Q=234.0476 kJ/mol。     

等温往复镦粗-挤压对Mg-Re-Zn合金微观组织和室温力学性能的影响

对Mg-9Gd-3Y-2Zn-0.5Zr合金在420℃恒定温度下进行了4道次等温往复镦挤变形实验,研究了等温往复镦挤过程中合金微观组织和室温力学性能的变化规律。研究表明:随着等温往复镦挤变形道次的逐渐增加,动态再结晶发生,晶粒细化效果明显,这是主要是因为LPSO相附近产生的应力集中阻碍了位错运动,产生位错堆积,从而促进了动态再结晶。4道次加工后,初始态合金中在晶界处不连续分布的大块状相转变为在基体中均匀分布、沿挤压方向排列的小尺寸块状相。在整个变形过程中,合金内部的析出相较初始态合金并未明显变化,这表明在整个变形过程中没有新相生成。此外,经过4道次等温往复镦挤加工,合金的力学性能较初始态合金得到了显著提高,其极限抗拉强度、屈服强度和伸长率分别为327.70 MPa、247.95 MPa和9.60%,这是位错增殖、细晶强化、第二相LPSO相强化综合作用的结果。     

Microstructure and creep behaviour of Mg-12Gd-3Y-1Zn-0.4Zr alloy

Microstructure and creep behaviour of Mg-12Gd-3Y-1Zn-0.4Zr alloy prepared by squeeze casting were investigated. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation revealed that a kind of lamellar-shaped morphologies 14h long-period stacking order structure (LPSO) and dense β’-phase precipitates were formed by heat treatment. The alloy exhibited good creep resistance. It was shown that the creep-resistant performance kept stable because of the restriction of dense β’-phase precipitates and LPSO phases to the movement of dislocations, and the formation of β-phase plates took responsibility for the softening of material during creep. Stress and temperature dependence of the steady-state creep rate were studied over stress range of 50-100 MPa and a temperature range of 250-300 oC, and a dislocation creep mechanism was proposed for the alloy.

降温往复镦粗-挤压变形对Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr合金晶粒细化及织构变化的研究

本文在480°C降温至370°C条件下,采用循环镦?挤工艺对均匀化后的Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr合金进行变形,对循环镦?挤变形过程中的合金微观组织和织构变化进行研究。结果表明,随着循环镦?挤变形道次的增加,晶粒尺寸逐渐减小。在变形6道次后,累积应变达到 8.4,得到了平均晶粒尺寸为 3.4 μm 的细小均匀的微观组织。晶粒细化是由非连续动态再结晶和连续动态再结晶复杂共同作用引起的。另外,变形过程中,原始粗大晶粒内的片层状长程有序相(LPSO)发生扭折变形产生扭折带,并在扭着带处引起动态再结晶产生,分割原始粗晶,起到晶粒细化作用。结果还表明,一道次镦?挤变形后,合金产生强的基面织构,随着变形道次的增加,织构强度有所减弱。织构弱化的原因是动态再结晶和加载力在轴向和径向交替变化共同作用。

A high-performance Mg-4.9Gd-3.2Y-1.1Zn-0.5Zr alloy via multidirectional forging after analyzing its compression behavior

A high-performance Mg-4.9Gd-3.2Y-1.1Zn-0.5 Zr alloy has been fabricated by multidirectional forging(MDF)after analyzing its compression behavior.The as-homogenized alloy exhibits a high activation energy Q of deformation(～285 kJ/mol).The size of DRXed grains after compression tends to decrease as the Z-H parameter(Z)increases,showing a grain size exponent m of～4.0.Lamellar LPSO phases,kinking deformation,and bimodal microstructure are detected at the relatively low compression temperature of 350 and 400℃,while sufficient DRX can be achieved at 500℃,accompanied by the dissolution of lamellar LPSO.According to the processing maps,MDF was successfully conducted under an appropriate condition.After peak-aged at 200℃for 78 h,the MDFed billet exhibits a tensile yield strength(TYS)of 331 and 305 MPa at room temperature and 200 C,respectively.The high strength mainly results from the combination of fine grains,low Schmid factor for basal slip,sufficient β'ageing precipitates,and direc-tionally arranged interdendritic LPSO phases,etc.This paper provides a feasible way for the fabrication of high-performance,low-RE-content,and large-scale Mg components for industrial production.
