Effect of selective laser melting on microstructure and properties of AZ91D alloy

Selective laser melting technology is used to manufacture porous and solid AZ91D alloys. The effects of laser power and hatch spacing on the density, blowholes, microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91D alloy are studied. The laser power and hatch spacing play a significant role in the density and blowholes of AZ91D specimens. The grains size of specimens increases from 1 μm–2 μm to 8 μm–10 μm from the bottom to the top in single molten pool. Compared with grain size of die‐casting alloy (30 μm), that of selective laser melted gets refinement. There is no significant change in microstructure in the bottom, middle and top of specimens. The micro‐hardness of AZ91D alloy, reaching up to 115.3 HV 0.1, is superior to that of die‐casting alloy (56 HV 0.1). The compression properties of porous and solid specimens reach the degree of die‐casting solid magnesium alloy. AZ91D alloy shows the potential in the application of medical biodegradable materials.

Grain refinement and mechanical properties enhancement of AZ91E alloy by addition of ceramic particles

Improved mechanical properties and structural uniformity of Mg-based alloys can be achieved by use of grain-refining additives prior to casting. Ceramic particles of α-Al₂O₃ and SiC can serve as such additives to refine the microstructure of Mg–Al-based alloys. However, direct introduction of ceramic particles into Mg matrix is limited by the poor wetting of those particles by liquid Mg and their massive agglomeration. Mg/α-Al₂O₃ and Mg/SiC master alloys were prepared using a method based on the insertion of the ceramic particles into a molten Mg bath through a Mg-nitride layer formed on the surface of the molten bath. The mixture of Mg/ceramic particles was cooled to room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. Mg-15%Al₂O₃ and AZ91E + 10%SiC master alloys were obtained. These master alloys were used to refine AZ91E alloys by introducing various amounts of ceramic particles to manufacture AZ91E + 1%Al₂O₃, AZ91E + 1%SiC, and AZ91E + 3%SiC alloys. These were cast using high-pressure die casting and gravity die casting. The alloy AZ91E + 1%Al₂O₃ was grain refined to ~20 μm and the alloys AZ91E + SiC were grain refined to ~50 μm as against 110 μm in non-refined counterparts. The mechanical properties of the modified alloys are substantially better than those of a non-refined AZ91E alloy which is the result of a combination of grain refinement and reinforcement of the matrix by ceramic particles. Alloy AZ91E + 1%Al₂O₃ exhibited the best mechanical properties.

Characterization of fold defects in AZ91D and AE42 magnesium alloy permanent mold castings

Casting premium-quality magnesium alloy components for aerospace and automotive applications poses unique challenges. Magnesium alloys are known to freeze rapidly prior to filling a casting cavity, resulting in misruns and cold shuts. In addition, melt oxidation, solute segregation and turbulent metal flow during casting contribute to the formation of fold defects. In this research, formation of fold defects in AZ91D and AE42 magnesium alloys cast via the permanent mold casting process was investigated. Computer simulations of the casting process predicted the development of a turbulent metal flow in a critical casting region with abrupt geometrical transitions. SEM and light optical microscopy examinations revealed the presence of folds in this region for both alloys. However, each alloy exhibited a unique mechanism responsible for fold formation. In the AZ91D alloy, melt oxidation and velocity gradients in the critical casting region prevented fusion of merging metal front streams. In the AE42 alloy, limited solubility of rare-earth intermetallic compounds in the α-Mg phase resulted in segregation of Al₂RE particles at the leading edge of a metal front and created microstructural inhomogeneity across the fold.     

Grain refinement of Mg–Al alloys with Al4C3–SiC/Al master alloy

A novel Al₄C₃–SiC/Al master alloy for grain refinement of Mg–Al–Zn alloys has been developed in the present work. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) results show the existence of Al₄C₃ and SiC particles in this master alloy. The master alloy presents good grain refining efficiency on both AZ31 and AZ63 alloys, but little effect on AZ91 alloy. After addition of 0.5 wt.% Al₄C₃–SiC/Al master alloy, the average grain size of AZ31 and AZ63 decreased dramatically from 1300 to 225 μm, and from 300 to 200 μm, respectively. However, no further refinement of grain size was achieved with additional amount of Al₄C₃–SiC/Al master alloy exceeding 0.5 wt.% for both AZ31 and AZ63 alloys in the present investigation. Duplex phase of Al₄C₃ and SiC was found to be located at the grain center of α-Mg and is proposed to be the nucleating agent during solidification of α-Mg.     

漂珠/AZ91D镁合金复合材料的高温压缩变形行为

采用搅拌铸造法制备了漂珠(FAC)/AZ91D镁合金复合材料。研究了该复合材料的高温压缩变形行为,分析了压缩变形温度和应变率对FAC/AZ91D镁合金复合材料压缩变形行为的影响规律,并计算了其热变形激活能。结果表明:FAC/AZ91D镁合金复合材料的高温压缩真应力-真应变曲线分为4个阶段:弹性变形、加工硬化、峰值应力和稳态流变阶段。相同应变率下,FAC/AZ91D镁合金复合材料的峰值应力和稳态流变应力随压缩变形温度的升高而降低;相同压缩变形温度下,流变应力随应变率增大而升高。在相同应变率或相同压缩变形温度下,FAC/AZ91D镁合金复合材料的热变形激活能随压缩应变率或压缩变形温度的升高而增大,其热压缩行为可以用双曲正弦函数形式的Arrhenius关系来描述。压缩变形温度与应变率对FAC/AZ91D镁合金复合材料的高温压缩组织均有重要影响。提高压缩变形温度或增大应变率,均可加速动态再结晶的进程。
