Effect of Zn Content on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of MgZnYLaMM Alloys

The effect of Zn content on microstructure, existing phases, and mechanical properties of rapidly solidified MgZn _x Y₁LaMM₁Mn_0.5 alloys (X?=?2, 3, 4 at.?pct) has been investigated. To assess the microstructural characterization of nanocrystalline alloys, the study also includes microstructural characterization of the master alloys. The microstructure of the alloys in as-rapidly solidified condition consisted of supersaturated magnesium dendrites and fine (Mg,Zn)₁₇La₂ and W phase (Mg₃Y₂Zn₃) segregated at grain and cell boundaries. During continuous heating, the metastable solid solution in Mg dendrites breaks down, increasing the volume fraction of second-phase particles. After annealing for 1?hour at 673?K (400?°C), very small spherical Mn-rich precipitates appeared in the three alloys and a long-period stacking ordered (LPS) phase of rectangular morphology precipitated inside the Mg grains in the alloy with the lowest Zn content. The nanocrystalline nature of the ribbons accounts for the high hardness and yield stress values in as-rapidly solidified state, although both decrease with increasing zinc content. This fact has been related to a coarser microstructure and higher volume fraction of the W phase as the Zn content increases. The highest yield stress value of 350?MPa is attained by the MgZn₂Y₁LaMM₁ ribbon in as-rapidly solidified condition. A decrease in yield stress values (about 50?MPa) is observed for all ribbons when they are heated at 673?K (400?°C) for 1?hour.

Solidification Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cast Magnesium-Aluminum-Tin Alloys

The solidification microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Al-Sn alloys have been investigated using computational thermodynamics and experiments. The as-cast microstructure of Mg-Al-Sn alloys consists of α-Mg, Mg₁₇Al₁₂, and Mg₂Sn phases. The amount of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and Mg₂Sn phases formed increases with increasing Al and Sn content and shows good agreement between the experimental results and the Scheil solidification calculations. Generally, the yield strength of as-cast alloys increases with Al and Sn content, whereas the ductility decreases. This study has confirmed an early development of Mg-7Al-2Sn alloy for structural applications and has led to a promising new Mg-7Al-5Sn alloy with significantly improved strength and ductility comparable with commercial AZ91 alloy.

Effect of Icosahedral Quasicrystalline Fraction and Extrusion Ratio on Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Anisotropy of Mg-Zn-Gd-Based Alloys

We have fabricated three types of Mg-Zn-Gd-based alloys containing the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase (I-phase) to investigate how volume fraction of the I-phase and extrusion ratio can have an impact on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and anisotropy of the as-extruded alloys. We find that grains are refined and that the ultimate tensile strength and elongation are improved as either the volume fraction of I-phase or the extrusion ratio is increased, which can be attributed to the secondary phase particle stimulate recrystallization nucleation and restrained grain boundary motion. Moreover, anisotropy is mitigated in all of the alloys as either the I-phase fraction or the extrusion ratio is increased owing to the coeffect of texture weakening and grain refinement as well as to the effect of I-phase on twinning. We also find that with the increase in the amount of the I-phase, the yield strength (YS) is decreased for the alloys extruded at a low ratio owing to the texture weakening, yet it is increased for the alloys extruded at high ratio owing to the strengthening originating from the I-phase and refined grains. The mechanical properties are improved for the alloys extruded at high ratio, which is due to their fine grains and uniform microstructure.     

Effect of Zn Content on the Microstructure and Properties of Super-High Strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloys

The microstructure and properties of three different Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys with high Zn content (9 wt pct, 10 wt pct, and 11 wt pct, marked as 9Zn, 10Zn, and 11Zn, respectively) were investigated. The strength of alloys increases as the Zn content increases from 9 wt pct to 10 wt pct, while it does not increase any more as the Zn content increases continuously from 10 wt pct to 11 wt pct. The stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance decreases as the Zn content increases from 9 wt pct to 10 wt pct, while it changes unobviously as the Zn content increases continuously from 10 wt pct to 11 wt pct. The elongation and fracture toughness of alloys decrease as the Zn content increases in these Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys. The Zn content has little effect on the precipitation reaction of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys that contain the mixture of GP zones, and η′ are the main Matrix Precipitates (MPt) in the peak-aging state, and the mixture of η′ and η are the main MPt in the over-aging state. The amount of MPt and coarse T (AlZnMgCu) phases are shown to increase with the increasing Zn content in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys. The coarse T phases hardly dissolve into the matrix and are the source for the crack initiation, which may be the responsibility for the negative effect on the properties of high Zn content Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.     

添加钇对TiAl合金组织和性能的影响

Effect of Thermomechanical Processing on Microstructure,Texture Evolution,and Mechanical Properties of Al-Mg-Si-Cu Alloys with Different Zn Contents

The effect of thermomechanical processing on microstructure, texture evolution, and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys with different Zn contents was studied by mechanical properties, microstructure, and texture characterization in the present study. The results show that thermomechanical processing has a significant influence on the evolution of microstructure and texture and on the final mechanical properties, independently of Zn contents. Compared with the T4P-treated (first preaged at 353 K (80 °C) for 12 hours and then naturally aged for 14 days) sheets with high final cold rolling reduction, the T4P-treated sheets with low final cold rolling reduction possess almost identical strength and elongation and higher average r values. Compared with the intermediate annealed sheets with high final cold rolling reduction, the intermediate annealed sheets with low final cold rolling reduction contain a higher number of particles with a smaller size. After solution treatment, in contrast to the sheets with high final cold rolling reduction, the sheets with low final cold rolling reduction possess finer grain structure and tend to form a weaker recrystallization texture. The recrystallization texture may be affected by particle distribution, grain size, and final cold rolling texture. Finally, the visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model was used to predict r values.

镁锂合金具有超低密度、极高的比强度与比刚度、优异的电磁屏蔽性能及阻尼性能,目前广泛应用于追求轻量化的航空航天、新能源汽车、电子产品、生物医疗等领域。由于合金元素镁和锂均为活泼金属,在服役过程中镁锂合金会存在多种形式的腐蚀过程,同时二元镁锂合金强度较低,以上两点严重制约了其广泛应用。耐蚀涂层可以有效提高镁锂合金的腐蚀抗力,含铜镀层被证实能够提升镁锂合金耐蚀性。改善镁锂合金强度的工艺主要有合金化、热处理、加工变形等,其中合金化是最基本的强化手段。Cu合金化可以对镁锂合金中的组织与性能进行调控,改善镁锂合金的强度。本文对含Cu镁锂合金的研究进展及其应用情况进行综述,总结了目前含Cu镁锂合金耐蚀与力学性能的相关研究成果,重点梳理了铜元素在镁锂合金中的作用,为含Cu镁锂合金的实际应用提供一定的理论指导。     

Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Argon Atomized Aluminum-Lithium Powder Metallurgy Alloys

Aluminum-lithium and aluminum-copper-lithium alloy powders were prepared by argon gas atomization. The powders were consolidated by hot pressing and extruded into flat bar. Tensile and impact properties were determined on the extrusions. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the extruded microstructures while scanning microscopy was used for the examination of fracture surfaces. The aluminum-lithium alloys showed higher moduli, lower densities, and reduced toughness and elongation compared to conventional aluminum alloys. The loss of toughness was particularly pronounced above 3 pct Li.     

The Sintering, Sintered Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti-Fe-Si Alloys

A systematic study has been conducted of the sintering, sintered microstructure and tensile properties of a range of lower cost Ti-Fe-Si alloys, including Ti-3Fe-(0-4)Si, Ti-(3-6)Fe-0.5Si, and Ti-(3-6)Fe-1Si (in wt pct throughout). Small additions of Si (??1?pct) noticeably improve the as-sintered tensile properties of Ti-3Fe alloy, including the ductility, with fine titanium silicides (Ti₅Si₃) being dispersed in both the ?? and ?? phases. Conversely, additions of ?>1?pct Si produce coarse and/or networked Ti₅Si₃ silicides along the grain boundaries leading to predominantly intergranular fracture and, hence, poor ductility, although the tensile strength continues to increase because of the reinforcement by Ti₅Si₃. Increasing the Fe content in the Ti-xFe-0.5/1.0Si alloys above 3?pct markedly increases the average grain size and changes the morphology of the ??-phase phase to much thinner and more acicular laths. Consequently, the ductility drops to <1?pct. Si reacts exothermically with Fe to form Fe-Si compounds prior to the complete diffusion of the Fe into the Ti matrix during heating. The heat thus released in conjunction with the continuous external heat input melts the silicides leading to transient liquid formation, which improves the densification during heating. No Ti-TiFe eutectoid was observed in the as-sintered Ti-Fe-Si alloys. The optimum PM Ti-Fe-Si compositions are determined to be Ti-3Fe-(0.5-1.0)Si.
