摘要
Mg-3Al alloy was taken as the research object, based on the interatomic spacing misfit, the interplanar spacing mismatch and melting point between Al-X intermetallic compound and α-Mg, were calculated by E2EM model and phase diagram, the potential heterogeneous nucleation particles were screened in Mg-Al-X alloys, and the effects of Al2Nd and Al2Gd contents on the grain size of Mg-3Al alloy were explored. The effects of Nd and Gd on phase composition and microstructure of Mg-3Al alloy were analyzed, and the grain refinement mechanism of Nd and Gd on Mg-3Al alloy was revealed. The results show that adding appropriate content of Nd and Gd elements can effectively reduce the grain size of Mg-3Al alloy and increase the yield strength of the alloy. When 3% Nd and Gd is added, the grain size of Mg-3Al alloy decreases from (145±9) μm to (81±5) μm and (76±4) μm, which decrease by 44% and 48%, respectively. The yield strength of Mg-3Al-3RE alloy can be increased from 65 MPa to 76−79 MPa, and the elongation can reach 12.7%−16.5%. The grain refinement mechanism is that the Al2RE(Nd,Gd) particles can act as the heterogeneous nucleation particles of α-Mg and reduce the alloy grain size. © 2023 Central South University of Technology.
