摘要
Duplex nucleation in Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloys with carbon inoculation was investigated in this study. Carbon addition brought remarkable grain refinement to both AZ31 (Mg-3Al-1Zn-0.45Mn) and AZ63 (Mg-6Al-3Zn-0.35Mn). Al4C3-coated Al0.89Mn5 and Al4C3-coated Al8Mn5 act as the duplex nucleation sites in carbon-treated AZ31 and AZ63, respectively. The morphologies and sizes of dominant Al-Mn phases in both alloys (Al0.89Mn1.11 in AZ31 and Al8Mn5 in AZ63) did not change significantly after grain refinement of the alloys, and these Al-Mn particles are believed to have low nucleating efficiency for primary alpha-Mg. In contrast, Al4C3, the interfacial phase between primary a-Mg and duplex nucleating particles, is the direct potent nucleating substrate for primary alpha-Mg. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
