Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Several Mg-4Al-4La/Ce alloys were developed and their microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated. The phase compositions of Mg-4Al-4La alloy consist of α-Mg and Al11La3 phases. While two binary Al-RE phases, Al11RE3 and Al2RE (RE=Ce/La), are formed in Mg-4Al-4Ce/La alloy, and Al11Ce3 and Al2Ce are formed in Mg-4Al-4Ce alloy. The optimal tensile properties are obtained in Mg-4Al-4Ce/La alloy, in which the UTS, YS and δ are 250, 149.2 MPa and 12.24% at room temperature, and 157.8, 116 MPa and 27% at 150oC, and 99.1, 118.2 MPa and 23.2% at 250oC, respectively. The mechanics properties of Mg-4Al-4Ce/La alloy are nearly same with commercial AE44. The compression creep is lower than that AJ62 alloy.

Semi Solid

The semi-solid slurry of AZ91D magnesium alloy was prepared by twin-screw stirring mixer, the microstructure and mechanical properties of semi-solid formed magnesium alloy AZ91D produced by rheo-diecasting and conventional liquid die casting were investigated, respectively. The strengthen mechanism of the semi-solid formed magnesium alloy after heat treatment was analysed by EDS. The results show that the mechanical properties of semi-solid formed magnesium alloy can be enhanced markedly by T4 and T6 heat treatment, owing to decrease of the porosity and less segregation in casting, brittle eutectic compounds dissolves gradually into α-Mg matrix, and the primary phase α-Mg decomposes in the course of heat treatment. In as-cast state, the tensile strength, elongation and hardness of semi-solid formed magnesium alloy AZ91D are 222MPa, 2.3% and 74 HBS, respectively. In T4 heat treatment state, the tensile strength and elongation are increased by 13% and 210%, and in T6 heat treatment state, the tensile strength and hardness are increased by 11% and 16%. The mechanical properties of castings formed by conventional liquid die casting are deteriorated distinctly after T6 heat treatment due to its porosity and crack defects.

The effects of Sr addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Mg-6Al mag- nesium alloy both at 25 °C and at 175 °C were investigated by means of OM, SEM and EDS and XRD. Upon the Sr addition of 2%, the tensile strength was increased by 7.2% to 184.4MPa at 25 °C, while it was increased by 30% to 155.4MPa at 175 °C. The strengthening mechanism of Mg-6Al-xSr at lower temperature (25 °C) was different from that at higher temperature (175°C). The results show that the addition of strontium effectively improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.
