Homogenization heat treatment of Mg-7.68Gd-4.88Y-1.32Nd-0.63Al-0.05Zr alloy

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg-7.68Gd-4.88Y-1.32Nd-0.63A1-0.05Zr magnesium alloy were investigated both in the as-cast condition and after homogenization heat treatment from 535 to 555 ℃ in the time range 0-48 h by op- tical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and hardness measurement. The as-cast alloy consisted of ct-Mg matrix, Mgs（Y0.5Gd0.5） phase which is a eutectic phase, strip of Al2（Y0.6Gd0.4） phase, little A13Zr and Mg（Y3Gd） phase. With the increasing of homogenization temperature and time, the Mgs（Y0.5Gd0.5） phase was completely dissolved into the matrix. The Al2（Y0.6Gd0.4） phase was almost not dissolved which impeded grain boundaries motion making the grain size almost not changed in the process of ho- mogenization. The optimum homogenization condition was 545 ℃/16 h. The tensile strength increased, yield strength decreased and the plasticity improved obviously after 545 ℃/16 h homogenization treatment.     

Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.6Zr合金的二次挤压热变形行为

采用Gleeble-1500型热模拟机在变形温度为360~480℃、应变速率为0.01~10 s-1、真应变为0~0.7的条件下,研究Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.6Zr合金二次挤压过程的热变形行为,获得其热变形工艺参数,并分析热变形后的显微组织。结果表明:合金的峰值应力随应变速率的增大而提高,随应变温度的升高而降低;在变形温度、应变速率相同的情况下,一次热模拟的峰值应力均大于二次热模拟(450℃,10 s~(-1)除外);合金二次挤压过程的流变应力可以采用含Zener-Hollomon参数的双曲正弦函数形式来描述;由于二次热模拟试样中位错及晶界运动增强,使二次热模拟的激活能(Q)、应力指数(n)均小于一次热模拟的相应参数,导致二次挤压较一次挤压容易发生再结晶。

Effects of heat treatments on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-15Gd-5Y-0.5Zr alloy

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-15wt.%Gd-5 wt.%Y-0.5wt.% Zr alloy were investigated in a series of conditions. The eutectic was dissolved into the matrix and there was no evident grain growth after solntionized at 525 ℃ for 12 h. The evolution of the phase constituents from as-cast to cast-T4 was as follows： α-Mg solid solution＋Mg5（Gd,Y） entectic compound→α-Mg solid solution＋ spheroidized Mg5（Gd, Y） phase→α-Mg supersaturated solid solution＋cuboid-shaped compound （Mg2Y3Gd2）. And the precipitation sequences of Mg-15Gd-5Y-0.5Zr alloy were observed, according to the hardness response to isothermal ageing at 225-300 ℃ for 0-128 h.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and heat treated Mg-15Gd-3Y alloy

The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg-15Gd-3Y alloy were investigated in the as-cast and heat treated conditions.The microstructure evolution from as-cast to cast-T4 states involved α-Mg solid solution+Mg5(Gd,Y) phase→α-Mg supersatu-rated solid solution+rare earths compound Mg3(Gd1.26,Y0.74)→α-Mg supersaturated solid solution+rare earths compound Mg3(Gd0.745,Y1.255).It showed that 480 oC/4 h was the optimal solution treatment parameter.If the solution temperature was high or the holding time was long,such as 520 oC/16 h,an overheating phenomenon would be induced,which had a detrimental effect on the mechanical properties.When age-ing at 225 and 200 oC,the alloy would exhibit a significant age-hardening response and great long-time-age-hardening potential,respectively.The best mechanical properties were obtained at the parameters of 480 oC/4 h+225 oC/16 h,with the UTS of 257.0 MPa and elongation of 3.8%.     

Effects of isothermal homogenization on microstructure evolution of Mg-7Gd-5Y-1MM-0.5Zr alloy

Optical microscopy(OM), scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were performed to investigate the influence of homogenization on the microstructures of the Mg-7Gd-5Y-1MM(Ce-rich RE)-0.5Zr magnesium alloy. The results indicated that α-Mg, Mg24(Gd Y)5 phase, Mg5(Gd Y) phase and Mg12 MM phase coexisted together in as-cast alloy; the microstructures were largely characterized by α-Mg matrix and gray globular or elliptic ball Mg12 MM phase, in addition to those with cubic block Mg24(Gd Y)5 phase after homogenization; the reasonable homogenization regime was maintained at 530 oC for 32 h.     

Effects of yttrium on recrystallization and grain growth of Mg-4.9Zn-0.7Zr alloy

Recrystallization and grain growth in Mg-4.9Zn-0.7Zr and Mg-4.9Zn-0.9Y-0.7Zr alloys as a function of temperature on deformation were investigated with regards to hot rolling and annealing. The influence of yttrium addition on the microstructure was examined by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results indicated that yttrium addition promoted nucleation of recrystallization during hot rolling process. The grain size of Mg-4.9Zn-0.7Zr alloy samples grew significantly with annealing temperature （300-400 ℃） and holding time （0-120 min）, while the microstructure of the alloy with yttrium addition remained unchanged and fine. The activation energy of grain boundary migration for Mg-4.9Zn-0.9Y-0.7Zr alloy samples （56.34 kJ/mol） was higher than that for Mg-4.9Zn-0.7Zr （42.66 kJ/mol） owing to the pinning effect of Y-containing particles. The proposed growth models of recrysta/lized grains for the two studied alloys conformed well to E. Robert＇s grain-growth equation. Besides, the ultimate strength and yield strength of the alloys with yttrium addition were improved with good plasticity.
