The microstructures and mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg–2.3Zn–0.18Y–[Formula: see text]Zr ([Formula: see text] = 0.03, 0.06 and 0.13 at.%) alloys and aged Mg–2.3Zn–0.18Y–0.13Zr alloy were studied. The results revealed that the microstructures of as-extruded Mg–2.3Zn–0.18Y–[Formula: see text]Zr alloys are typical bimodal structures. The coarse [Formula: see text]-Mg grains are surrounded by fine dynamically recrystallized [Formula: see text]-Mg grains. The average size of [Formula: see text]-Mg grains decreases with increasing Zr content. Moreover, the addition of Zr (at.%) can improve the mechanical properties of alloy. The as-extruded Mg–2.3Zn–0.18Y–0.13Zr alloy has the best mechanical properties with ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) of 346 MPa and 292 MPa, respectively, and an elongation of 26.7%, which can be attributed to the grain refining effect and precipitate strengthening. The UTS and elongation of Mg–2.3Zn–0.18Y–0.13Zr alloy changed slightly after aging treatment, but the YS increases remarkably, with the maximum increase of 30 MPa. The fracture surfaces of all alloys consist of many tearing ridges and dimples.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of superalloy K465 under different heat treatment, including as as-cast, solution treatment and aging, were investigated. The results showed that γ' precipitates in as-cast condition exhibited two kinds of morphologies of fine regular cuboidal shape at dendritic arm and coarse irregular form in interdendritic region. MC carbides decomposed into M6C carbides partly after 1210°C/4h solution treatment. The high temperature stress-rupture life can be improved obviously with the increasing cooling rate. When cooling rate was lower than 70°C/min, the room temperature tensile elongation increased with cooling rate increasing. When cooling rate was higher than 90°C/min the room temperature tensile elongation decreased with cooling rate increasing. The proper cooling rate of 70oC/min~90oC/min is advantageous for the achievement of excellent comprehensive properties. When aging treatments continued the regularization of γ' resulted in the improvement of stress-rupture life and the reduction of tensile elongation. The mechanical property gap between the solution treatment and aging can be decreased with increasing cooling rate.

In this paper, developed a non-aluminum die casting magnesium alloys were studied based on Mg-xGd-Y-Zr(x=6, 8, 12 wt.%)alloys in cold chamber press. The microstructures and mechanical properties of die casting GWK alloys have been investigated using OM, SEM, XRD, EDS and mechanical property test. The experimental results show that with increasing Gd content of Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys, the tensile strength increase, but elongation decrease. In particular, die casting GWK alloys after short-term and low-temperature solid solution treatment (T4) have a small variation in grain size and more uniform microstructures, and the second phases distribute at the grain boundaries in form of discontinuous rod shape or granule shape, which result in an obvious improvement in tensile mechanical properties of alloys. The Mg-12Gd-3Y-0.5Zr die casting alloy exhibit maximum tensile strength after solution heat treatment, and the value is 269MPa at room temperature. The effect of solution heat treatment on die casting Mg-xGd-Y-Zr alloys was also discussed.

Abstract:The microstructures and mechanical properties of 22Mn2SiVBS steel after austenitizing at 1280°C and then cooling in air and piled up after rolled were studied in this paper .the results show that when 22Mn2SiVBS steel cooling in air it can obtain the fine grain granular bainte and remain austenite,and piled up after rolled it can obtain granular bainte and proeutectoid ferrite. After heat treatment the strength and hardness is higher than the sample piled up after rolled, but the toughness is lower.
