The microstructure,tensile properties and compressive creep resistance of permanent-mould cast Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La (mass fraction) alloys were investigated.The results show that Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La alloys are all composed ofα-Mg phase, Mg_2Sn and Mg-La-Sn compounds.Compared with those of Mg-5%Sn binary alloy,the grain size and the content of Mg_2Sn compound in Mg-5%Sn-2%La alloy are decreased.With the increase of Sn content in Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La alloys,the content of Mg_2Sn compound increases,while that of...     

Microstructures and tensile properties of as-extruded Mg-Sn binary alloys

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-xSn(x=3,7 and 14,mass fraction,%) alloys extruded indirectly at 300℃ were investigated by means of optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and tensile test.The grain size of theα-Mg matrix decreases from 220,160 and 93μm after the homogenization treatment to 28,3 and 16μm in the three alloys after extrusion,respectively.The results show that the grain refinement is most remarkable in the as-extruded Mg-7Sn alloy.At the same time,the amount of the Mg2Sn particles remarkably increases in the Mg-7Sn alloy with very uniform distribution in theα-Mg matrix.In contrast,the Mg2Sn phase inherited from the solidification with a large size is mainly distributed along grain boundary in the Mg-14Sn alloy.The tensile tests at room temperature show that the ultimate tensile strength of the as-extruded Mg-7Sn alloy is the highest,i.e.,255 MPa,increased by 120%as compared with that of as-cast samples.

以Mg6Zn2Y为基础研究了Zn、Y含量的变化对Mg-Zn-Y基合金组织和性能的影响.结果表明铸态下增加1%Zn的合金的组织变得粗大,抗拉强度降低约10%,伸长率降低25%;同时添加1%Zn和1%Y的合金组织明显细化,抗拉强度和伸长率分别提高11%和17%;挤压后由于Y的加入形成了高熔点的化合物相,合金受这些相抑制,没有发生动态再结晶,力学性能因挤压变形得到不同程度的提高,对比分析Mg7Zn3Y合金拥有抗拉强度355 MPa和伸长率4.5%较好的综合性能.     

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-2%Zn-0.4%RE alloys

The solidification microstructures and hardness of Mg-2%Zn (mass fraction) based alloys with addition of 0.4%Ce, 0.4%Gd, 0.4%Y or 0.4%Nd (mass fraction) were investigated, and the effects of the rare earth elements on the microstructures and mechanical properties of these alloys extruded at 310℃ were also compared. The results indicate that the trace rare earth Ce, Gd, Y or Nd in the Mg-2%Zn alloy has obviously different grain refinement effects on its solidification microstructures, and the as-cast and hot-extruded alloy with 0.4%Ce has the smallest average grain size and the highest strength. However, the extruded alloys containing 0.4%Nd or 0.4%Y with the elongation of 26.6% and 30%, respectively, show higher plasticity in spite of lower strength as compared with the alloy containing 0.4%Ce.

Effects of Y on mechanical properties and damping capacity of ZK60 magnesium alloys

The microstructure,mechanical properties and damping capacity of ZK60-xY(x=0,1.5%,2.5%,4.0%,mass fraction) magnesium alloys were investigated by using the optical microscope(OM),X-ray diffractometer(XRD),universal tensile testing machine and dynamic mechanical analyzer(DMA).The mechanisms for damping capacity of referred alloys were discussed by Granato-Lücke theory.The results show that Y additions remarkably reduce grain size(the average grain size is 21.6,13.0,8.6 and 4.0μm,respectively),and the tensile properties are enhanced with grain refining(the yield tensile strength increases to 292 MPa from 210 MPa and ultimate tensile strength increases to 330 MPa from 315 MPa).For the ZK60-xY(x=0,1.5%,4.0%)alloys,the damping capacity decreases with the increase of Y content.However,for the ZK60-xY(x=2.5%)alloy,the damping capacity improves abnormally,which is possibly related to the formation of Mg3Y2Zn3(W)FCC phase in this alloy.     

Enhancement of mechanical properties of duplex Mg-9Li-3Al alloy by Sn and Y addition

For enhancement of mechanical properties in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys, Mg-9Li-3Al duplex alloys were alloyed by addition of Sn and Y. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property response of as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al alloys by alloying with Sn and Y were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and tensile tests. The results indicate that considerable blocky dendrites of primary α phase in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys become lath-like due to the addition of Sn. With addition of Y, Mg-9Li-3Al alloy consists of both block-like and lath-like α-Mg dendrites. The as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al-1Sn-1Y alloy shows a yield strength of 118 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 148 MPa and the elongation to failure of 21%. Improvement in both strength and elongation of Mg-9Li-3Al alloys with Sn and Y addition is attributed to the combined action of MgLi₂Sn and Al₂Y intermetallic compounds.     

Effect of Y on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg−4Li−3Al alloys

To obtain magnesium alloys with a low density and improved mechanical properties, Y element was added into Mg−4Li−3Al (wt.%) alloys, and the effect of Y content on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties was investigated by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and tensile tests. The results show that mechanical properties of as-cast Mg−4Li−3Al alloys with Y addition are significantly improved as a result of hot extrusion. The best comprehensive mechanical properties are obtained in hot-extruded Mg−4Li−3Al−1.5Y alloy, which possesses high ultimate tensile strength (UTS=248 MPa) and elongation (δ=27%). The improvement of mechanical properties of hot-extruded Mg−4Li−3Al−1.5Y alloy was mainly attributed to combined effects of grain refinement, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.     

热挤压对铸态Mg-1Zn-0.3Zr-1Y-2Sn镁合金组织和性能的影响（英文）

通过光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、浸泡实验、析氢实验、电化学试验、拉伸试验等方法,研究了不同挤压温度(340、360、380、400℃)下,热挤压对铸态Mg-1Zn-0.3Zr-1Y-2Sn合金组织和性能的影响。结果表明:热挤压后,合金的第二相沿挤压方向破碎成颗粒,微观组织中存在动态再结晶和变形晶粒。随着挤压温度的升高,第二相的含量变化较小,动态再结晶晶粒尺寸逐渐增大。热挤压后,合金的力学性能得到改善,但其耐腐蚀性最终减弱。热挤压处理可以在腐蚀的早期阶段提高合金的耐腐蚀性能,但随着腐蚀的进行,在后期合金的耐蚀性能会降低。当热挤压温度为360℃时,合金具有较好的力学性能和耐腐蚀性能。     

Microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion resistance of Mg–9Li–3Al–1.6Y alloy

Mg–9Li–3Al–1.6Y alloys were prepared through mixture method. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the as-cast and asextruded alloys were studied by optical microscopy(OM),scanning electronic microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), mechanical properties testing, and electrochemical measurement. The as-cast Mg–9Li–3Al–1.6Y alloy with the average grain size of 325 lm is composed of b-Li matrix, block a-Mg, and granule Al_2Y phases. After extrusion, the grain size of the as-cast alloy is obviously refined and reaches to 75 lm; the strength and elongation of the extruded alloy are enhanced by 17.20 % and49.45 %, respectively, owing to their fine microstructure and reduction of casting defects. The as-extruded alloy shows better corrosion resistance compared to the as-cast one, which may be related to the low stored energy and dislocation density in the extruded alloy, also the homogenization treatment before extrusion.

研究钇含量对Mg-xY-1.5LPC-0.4Zr镁合金的时效硬化、显微组织和力学性能的影响(其中LPC代表富镧混合稀土金属)。当将Y加入Mg-1.5LPC-0.4Zr时,随着Y含量的增加,合金的时效硬化反应相应增强,晶粒尺寸变小,强度增加。当将Y添加到Mg-1.5LPC-0.4Zr合金中时,时效析出相发生改变,由Mg-LPC基合金的稳态Mg12RE相转变为Mg-Y基合金的亚稳态β′相,且随着Y含量的增加,β′相的数量也相应增多。在合金晶界上还发现了稳态立方形的β-Mg24Y5相。对于Mg-Y-LPC-Zr合金,拉伸性能的改善主要归功于均匀、弥散分布的β′相,在晶界上的β-Mg24Y5相对合金的晶界也有明显的强化作用。当Y含量达到6%时,合金的拉伸强度最大,合金在室温和250°C的抗拉强度分别是250 MPa和210 MPa。

Al—Zn—Mg—Cu—Zr（-Sn）合金的强度和疲劳断裂行为

通过拉伸试验和疲劳裂纹扩展试验研究了Al-Zn—Mg—Cu-Zr（--Sn）合金的强度和疲劳断裂行为。运用光学显微镜（0M）、扫描电镜（SEM）和透射电子显微镜（TEM）对试验合金的微观组织进行分析检测。结果表明,Sn的添加可以阻碍固溶时Al-Zr-Mg-Cu-Zr合金晶粒的长大,也使得过时效Al-Zr-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sn合金的晶界无沉淀析出带（PFZ）变窄及晶界析出相变小,因此,提高了合金的抗疲劳裂纹扩展能力。此外,过时效的Al—Zn—Mg—Cu—Zr-Sn合金具有较高的抗拉强度。

Dependence of Microstructure, Texture and Tensile Properties on Working Conditions in Indirect-Extruded Mg-6Sn Alloys

通过光学显微镜（OM）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线衍射仪（XRD）和电子材料试验机研究了反向挤压Mg-6Sn合金的组织、织构和拉伸性能与挤压条件（挤压速度和初始坯料温度）间的依赖关系。研究结果表明：反向挤压 Mg-6Sn 合金的晶粒尺寸、再结晶体积分数和动态析出第二相体积分数在很大程度上取决于反向挤压参数,随着挤压速度和初始坯料温度的升高,合金的织构强度减弱。通过控制挤压速度和初始坯料温度,经高温挤压后的合金表现出最高的抗拉强度。对于商业 AZ31 镁合金而言,合金的强度随着挤压温度的升高而降低。本研究的 Mg-6Sn 合金经高温挤压后的抗拉强度和经低温挤压后的 AZ31 合金相当。上述研究结果表明 Mg-6Sn 合金是一种适合于高速度挤压的新型合金系。
