Forging at room temperature was applied on the per-extruded Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy to investigate the effect of cold forging on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Abundant micro shear bands with misorientations of 2–15° were generated in the as forged alloys. Tremendous enhancement in tensile yield strength was achieved after forging. With a quantitative investigation, micro band boundaries were considered to provide a great contribution to the reinforcement. The ultrafine structure resulting from the formation of micro shear bands led to increased corrosion resistance of the alloy.

Typical as-cast microstructure of the MgZnRE-Zr alloys consists primarily of Mg matrix, MgZn and MgRE phases. Although the electrical conductivity was a slightly reduced by Ce-rich RE addition, the conductivity was remained high. Microhardness at room temperature and tensile strength at 200°C were clearly enhanced by the addition. Fluidity as mold filling ability was observed to increase significantly with the RE addition partly due to reduced grain size and solidification range, however the corrosion resistance predicted from polarization curves was little decreased.

The microstructure, tensile properties at room temperature and corrosion rate in the 0.9% NaCl solution of the as-cast, as-extruded and as-drawn high-purity magnesium (99.99wt.% Mg) were experimentally investigated, respectively. Due to the coarse grains, both the tensile properties and corrosion resistance of the as-cast high-purity Mg were the lowest among the three states specimens, the yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the elongation (EL) were 26.6MPa, 69.2MPa and 5.6%, respectively. The mass-loss rate of the as-cast high-purity Mg in the NaCl solution was 0.44g⋅m-2⋅h-1. For the as-extruded high-purity Mg, as the grains was remarkably refined, the YS, UTS and EL increased to be 108.3MPa, 152.7MPa and 27.0%, respectively, and the mass-loss rate become slower to be 0.25g⋅m-2⋅h-1. Attributed to the further refined grains, the YS, UTS and EL of the as-drawn high-purity Mg increased to 134.1MPa, 199.4MP and 15.3%, respectively, and the mass-loss rate reduced to be 0.12g⋅m-2⋅h-1. The experimental results in the present research indicated that the grain refinement can effectively improve both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the high-purity Mg.

The corrosion performance of Ag-Cu-Ni-RE alloys in Na2S has been studied in order to assess the influence of rare earth (lanthanum and cerium) on the Ag-Cu-Ni alloys. Optical microscopy has been used to characterize the microstructures of the samples prior to the electrochemical tests. SEM, EDS and XRD have been used to observe the corrosion morphologies and chemical compositions of the samples. The electrochemical tests has been carried out at room temperature in 0.5, 1and 2% (wt. %) Na2S. The results reveal that the Ag-Cu-Ni-RE alloys exhibit improved corrosion resistance, as well as fine and uniform microstructures. Moreover, surface layers forming on Ag-Cu-Ni-RE alloys exhibit improved protective properties compared to the film growing on the Ag-Cu-Ni alloy. Here, it is also found that when comparing to the dilute Na2S solution conditions, there would be a little decrease of the corrosion rate in 2wt. %Na2S solution. In addition, Ag-Cu-Ni-La-Ce alloy generally exhibits the best corrosion resistance.

When Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy is cold forged, a large number of nano-micro shear bands are formed inside the grains. It is observed that micro-shear bands hinder the sliding of dislocations, resulting in an increase in tensile strength at elevated temperatures. The subsequent aging treatment further strengthens the alloy. Compared with unforged aged alloys, aged samples with pre-generated micro-shear bands exhibit higher strength at room temperature to 250 °C, but exhibit similar properties at higher temperatures. Microstructure characterization and fracture behavior analysis indicate that the transformation of deformation mode from dislocation sliding to grain boundary activity is mainly due to the change of mechanical properties with temperature. In addition, the alloy precipitates with the aid of dislocations during tension, and exhibits higher strength at 200 °C than that at room temperature.
