Improvement in rollability of AZ91 magnesium alloy by carbon addition

The present study aims to investigate the effect of carbon addition on the hot rolling behavior of as-cast AZ91 alloy. The AZ91 and C-added AZ91 alloys were subjected to hot rolling at 400 °C with a reduction of 30% per one pass. The as-cast C-added AZ91 alloy with very fine equi-axed grains of approximately 75 μm exhibited excellent hot rollability compared to as-cast AZ91 alloy with coarse dendrite structure, although the final grain size of the rolled C-added AZ91 alloy sheet was slightly larger than that of the rolled AZ91 alloy sheet. The side-crack occurrence on the surface during hot-rolling is mainly affected by the existence of twin boundary and the area fraction of grain boundaries. Based on the results, the improvement in rollability of the C-added AZ91 alloy is attributed to fine equi-axed grains and the polygonal Al₈Mn₅ phase located inside grains, which can homogeneously distribute and effectively absorb strain energy and prohibit crack growth.

In vitro degradation performance and biological response of a Mg-Zn-Zr alloy

The feasibility of a Mg-Zn-Zr alloy for biomedical applications was studied through microstructure characterization, corrosion tests in different biological media, and cell proliferation, differentiation and adhesion tests. Corrosion tests showed that the ZK60 alloy in the as-extruded state with finer grain sizes exhibited slower corrosion rates than the same alloy in the as-cast state. The tests in different biological fluids showed that the corrosion rates of the as-cast and as-extruded ZK60 alloy in DMEM + FBS were the highest, while those in Hank's solution were the lowest. The corrosion rate of the as-extruded ZK60 alloy was similar to the corrosion rates of other commercial magnesium alloys, namely the die-cast AZ91D, die-cast AM50, extruded AZ31 and extruded WE43 alloys. The results obtained from the indirect cytotoxicity evaluation showed that the 100% concentrated cast and extruded ZK60 alloy extracts resulted in significantly reduced cell numbers and total protein amounts, as compared to the negative control. The cell number and total protein amount increased with the gradual dilution of the extracts, but the protein normalized ALP activity showed an opposite trend. For the direct assay, L-929 and MG63 cells exhibited good adhesion with spread pseudopod on the surface of extruded ZK60 alloy samples after 24 h culture. In short, the as-extruded ZK60 alloy could be a good candidate material for biodegradable implants.     

Fabrication of SiC particles-reinforced magnesium matrix composite by ultrasonic vibration

Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with two volume fractions (1 and 3%) of SiC particles (1 μm) were successfully fabricated by ultrasonic vibration. Compared with as-cast AZ91 alloy, with the addition of the SiC particles grain size of matrix decreased, while most of the phase Mg₁₇Al₁₂ varied from coarse plates to lamellar precipitates in the SiCp/AZ91 composites. With increasing volume fraction of the SiC particles, grains of matrix in the SiCp/AZ91 composites were gradually refined. The SiC particles were located mainly at grain boundaries in both 1 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite and 3 vol% SiCp/AZ91 composite. SiC particles inside the particle clusters may be still separated by magnesium. The study of the interface between the SiC particle and the alloy matrix suggested that SiC particles bonded well with the alloy matrix without interfacial reaction. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation to fracture of the SiCp/AZ91 composites were simultaneously improved compared with that of the as-cast AZ91 alloy.     

Microstructural and mechanical properties evolution of magnesium AZ61 alloy processed through a combination of extrusion and thermomechanical processes

In this work, the microstructures and tensile properties of a commercial magnesium alloy “AZ61” processed by a combination of hot extrusion and thermomechanical processing (TMP) were investigated. The TMP was consisting of two or three hot rolling steps with large reductions per pass, thus allowing significant grain refinement. The microstructural evolution has been studied by means of optical and scanning electron microscopes, as well as X-ray diffraction analysis. The as-cast material is extruded in the form of a cylinder with initial diameter of 250 mm to a final diameter of 110 mm (80% reduction in cross-sectional area). Then hot rolling regimes were performed at 300 °C with different percentage of strain per pass. Tensile and hardness tests were performed in the samples (as-cast, extruded, and rolled) at room temperature in order to evaluate the mechanical properties of the material. The results of experiments demonstrated that fine grain size might be achieved in magnesium alloy AZ61 by using a two-step processing route involving an initial extrusion step followed by thermomechanical processing with large reduction in thickness per pass. This two-step process, designed to achieve average grain sizes of 10–20 μm.

Compressive Creep Behavior of TiC/AZ91D Magnesium-matrix Composites with Interpenetrating Networks

The 42.1 vol. pct TiC/AZ91D magnesium-matrix composites with interpenetrating networks were fabricated by in-situ reactive infiltration process. The compressive creep behavior of as-synthesized composites was investigated at temperature ranging from 673 to 723 K under loads of 95-108 MPa. For a comparative purpose,the creep behavior of the monolithic matrix alloy AZ91D was also conducted under loads of 15-55 MPa at 548-598 K. The creep mechanisms were theoretically analyzed based on the power-law relation. The results showed that the creep rates of both TiC/AZ91D composites and AZ91D alloy increase with increasing the temperature and load. The TiC/AZ91D composites possess superior creep resistance as compared with the AZ91D alloy. At deformation temperature below 573 K, the stress exponent n of AZ91D alloy approaches theoretical value of 5, which suggests that the creep process is controlled by dislocation climb. At 598 K, the stress exponentof AZ91D is close to 3, in which viscous non-basal slip deformation plays a key role in the process of creep deformation. However, the case differs from that of AZ91D alloy when the stress exponent n of TiC/AZ91D composites exceeds 9, which shows that there exists threshold stress in the creep process of the composites, similar to other types of composites. The average activation energies for the creep of the AZ91D alloy and TiC/AZ91D composites were calculated to be 144 and 152 k J/mol, respectively. The existence of threshold stress in the creep process of the composites leads to an increase in activation energy for creep.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of SiCp/AZ91 composite deformed through a combination of forging and extrusion process

In this paper, 10 vol.% SiCp/AZ91 magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by stir casting technology. The as-cast ingots were forged at 420 °C with 50% reduction, and then extruded at 370 °C with the ratio of 16 at a constant ram speed of 15 mm/s. The results showed that the grains were refined during forging. A much finer grain size (∼2.7 μm) of composite matrix was obtained by subjecting the as-forged composite to hot extrusion. The fine SiC particulates restricted the dynamic recrystallized grain growth during the hot extrusion processing, resulting in a remarkable grain refinement. The yield stress and ultimate tensile stress were increased in the as-extruded composite, with the reasons of eliminated casting flaws, the uniform particle distribution and grains refinement. The grain refinement and uniform particle distribution caused an obvious increase in work hardening rate in the as-extruded composite during tensile deformation at room temperature.
