Mg-6Al-1Zn-Y镁合金组织及力学性能的研究

在Mg-6Al-1Zn合金的基础上添加不同质量分数的Y（分别为0％，0．5％，0．9％，1．4％），制备了4种实验合金，研究了Y的添加对合金组织性能的影响。通过X射线衍射、金相显微镜、扫描电镜、电子探针等手段分析了Mg-6Al-1Zn合金添加Y后组织结构的变化。研究结果表明，添加了不同含量Y的合金中都出现了一种新相Al2Y相。随着Y含量的增加，Al2Y相数量增多而Mg17Al 12相则减少。Y能细化合金铸态及挤压态显微组织，其细化作用在添加了0．9％Y的镁合金中尤为明显。铸态合金室温拉伸试验表明：该合金具有最佳的综合力学性能。当Y含量添加至1．4％时，Al2Y相变得粗大且出现团聚现象而导致了拉伸性能的下降。经过挤压后，合金的力学性能大幅度上升。

Retrogression and re-aging heat treatment of Al-6. 1Zn-2. 6Mg-1.6Cu aluminum alloy

The effects of the retrogression temperature and time of retrogression and re -aging heat treatment （RRA） on the hardness and electrical conductivity of Al-6. 1Zn-2.6Mg - 1.6Cu aluminum alloy were studied. Samples were pre-aged at 120℃ for 24 h as the first-stage treatment. Then, retrogression was performed at a temperature range of 170 ～250℃ for times of between 1 min and 180 min, followed by re - aging at 120 ℃ for 24 h. Hardness （H） and electri- cal conductivity （EC） measurements were used to characterize the samples after RRA treatment. Analysis of the results shows： （ 1 ） The re - aging treatment at 120 ℃ for 24 h increases both H and EC of the retrogressed alloy in the RRA process ; （2） RRA with retrogression at higher than 200℃ result in EC higher than that of peak - aged, but H lower; The change of H and EC with respect to retrogression temperature （T） and time （t） can be seen as functions of H （t） = H0 ＋A1e^（-t/s） , EC （t） =A （1 -e^{-k·（t-xc））） ; （3） RRA treatments with retro- gression at 190 ℃ for 4 ～ 30 min result in H and EC which are both higher than those of the peak-aged temper, and retrogression at 190℃ for 30 min is the industrial application that yields H of 190 HV and EC of 33.5% IACS.

固溶温度对挤压态Mg-13Al-6Zn-4Cu合金组织与性能的影响

采用不同的固溶温度对挤压态Mg-13Al-6Zn-4Cu(质量分数,%)合金进行热处理,然后在(150℃/10 h)条件下进行时效处理,通过金相显微镜、扫描电镜及能谱分析、维氏硬度与极化曲线测试,研究固溶温度对挤压态合金显微组织、硬度与腐蚀性能的影响。结果表明:固溶处理促进晶界处的β-Mg_(17)Al_(12)相充分溶入α-Mg基体中。提高固溶温度使基体晶粒再结晶长大,逐渐缩小T-MgAlCuZn相心部的Cu元素富集区,改变β析出相的形态和分布,促进层片状β相在α-Mg晶界析出,从而提高时效态合金的硬度。但固溶温度超过420℃时,合金晶粒粗化并发生过烧。固溶温度升高导致合金腐蚀电位负移,腐蚀电流增大,腐蚀速率加快。

Grain refinement of Mg-3Y alloy using Mg-10Al_2Y master alloy

The as-extruded Mg-10 Al_2 Y master alloy was chosen as a novel grain refiner for as-cast Mg-3 Y alloy.Contrast samples of cast Mg-3 Y alloy added with pure Al and Mg-Zr master alloy grain refiners were prepared under the same conditions.In this study,the influence of addition amounts of Al_2 Y and holding time on grain refinement efficiency as well as tensile properties was investigated.And the grain refining ability of the Al_2 Y particles was systematically evaluated in terms of the addition amounts,number density of the Al_2 Y particles and holding time.The finest grains are achieved at 2 wt% Al_2 Y addition amount,which corresponds to number density of the polygonal Al_2 Y particles of 420-460 mm~(-2).The Mg-10 Al_2 Y master alloy has significant refinement performance and no refining recession occurs at the holding time within 60 min,or the settling time up to 180 min.Grain refinement and the second phase strengthening of uniformly distributed Al_2 Y particles contribute to the simultaneous enhancement on both strength and elongation of Mg-3 Y alloy.

Effects of samarium addition on as-cast microstructure,grain refinement and mechanical properties of Mg-6Zn-0.4Zr magnesium alloy

In this paper, the microstructural evolution, grain refinement and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn-0.4Zr alloys with varying Sm contents(0, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%) were investigated by using an optical microscope(OM), a scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscope(EDS), an X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and mechanical tests at room temperature, respectively. The experimental results indicated that the addition of Sm could obviously refine the as-cast grains, modify the eutectic morphology and affect the mechanical properties of the alloys. The main phases in Mg-6Zn-xSm-0.4Zr alloys included matrix α-Mg, Mg_2Zn_3, Mg_(41)Sm_5 and MgZ nS m. With Sm content increasing to 4%, the MgZ nS m phase was created, meanwhile, the morphology of some eutectic phases revealed apparently lamellar structure, which had a bad effect on the mechanical properties. In addition, the maximum values of ultimate tensile strength(UTS, 214 MPa) and elongation(EL, 7.42%) were simultaneously obtained from the alloy with 2% Sm. However, Sm addition had no obvious effects on the fracture behavior of the alloys, namely, the fracture pattern of Mg-6Zn-0.4Zr alloy belonged to inter-granular and brittle modes while the fracture regimes of all the Sm-containing alloys were dominated by the mixture of inter-granular and trans-granular modes.     

Mg-8Li合金的制备与制氢性能研究

在真空熔炼炉中制备了Mg-8Li二元合金,并研究了该合金在不同大气状态下的腐蚀情况以及温度和Cl-含量对水解制氢性能的影响。结果表明,相比于自然状况的大气条件下,Mg-8Li合金在潮湿空气中极易被氧化腐蚀;在高温下Mg-8Li合金的钝化膜由于水热改性作用会形成疏松多孔的结构而受到直接破坏;反应介质中Cl-含量增加,则Mg-8Li合金的水解性能增强。增加温度和反应介质中Cl-含量是改善Mg-8Li合金制氢性能的有效手段。     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-10Y-2.5Sm alloy

Microstructures and Properties of Melt-Spun and As-Cast Mg-20Gd Binary Alloy

Mg-20Gd（ %, mass fraction）samples were prepared using melt-spinning and copper mold casting techniques. Microstructures and properties of the Mg-20Gd were investigated. Results show that the melt-spun ribbon is mainly composed of supersaturated a-Mg solid solution phase and the as-cast ingot mainly contains a-Mg solid solution and MgsGd phase. The differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） curve of the ribbon exhibits a small exothermic peak in the temperature range from 630 to 680 K, which indicates that the ribbon contains a metastable phase （amorphous）. Tensile strength at room temperature of the melt-spun ribbon and as-cast specimen are 308 and 254 MPa, respectively. The elongations of the two samples are less than 2 %. The fracture surfaces demonstrate that the fracture mode of the as-cast Mg-20Gd is a typical cleavage fracture and that of the melt-spun sample is a combination of brittle fracture and ductile fracture.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-10Y-2.5Sm alloy

Sm enhanced α-Mg matrix and Mg₂₄Y₅ phase by solid solution effect. At 200-300 °C, the ultimate tensile strengths were more than 200 MPa and the elongations were about 3%. Compared with those at room temperature, the mechanical properties had no obvious changes.     

Microstructural features of rolled Mg-3Al-1Zn

The microstructures of hot- and cold-rolled Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) are examined using scanning electron and optical microscopy. It is shown that the microstructures following multipass hot rolling and annealing are more uniform than those formed by heavy single pass rolling and annealing. The importance of twins in producing intragranular recrystallization is evident, although the most dominant nucleation site is grain boundaries. The cold-rolled structure after a rolling reduction of 15 pct is dominated by the presence of deformation twins. Twin trace analysis suggests that approximately two thirds of the twins are a form of “c-axis compression” twin. A number of “c-axis tension” twins were also observed and additional in-situ scanning electron microscopy experiments were performed to confirm earlier observations that suggest these twins can form after deformation, during unloading. This article is based on a presentation made in the symposium entitled “Phase Transformations and Deformation in Magnesium Alloys,” which occurred during the Spring TMS meeting, March 14–17, 2004, in Charlotte, NC, under the auspices of ASM-MSCTS Phase Transformations Committee.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-5Sn-2Ce-xZn alloys

The microstructure, mechanical properties and compression creep resistance of as-cast Mg-5Sn-2Ce-xZn(x=0, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.%) alloys were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the Ce-containing compounds were MgS nC e phase and an unknown phase, and they were the dominant intermetallics in as-cast Mg-5Sn-2Ce-xZn alloys. At x=0 wt.%, the Ce-containing compounds formed in interdendritic regions with the shape of rod. As the Zn content was increased to 2 wt.%, the Ce-containing compounds partly changed from rod-like to sheet-like. However, there were few further changes in the Ce-containing compounds with further increase in Zn content to 4 wt.%. Compared with Mg-5Sn-2Ce alloy, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy containing 4 wt.% Zn increased by 39% and 112%, respectively, and the secondary creep rate(175 °C/55 MPa) decreased at least by an order of magnitude. These improvement could be attributed to the combined effects of the high content of Zn dissolving in a-Mg matrix and the modification of Ce-containing compounds by Zn addition.
