摘要
The microstructural evolution of a thermomechanically treated Mg-10Gd-3Y-1Sn-0.5Zr (wt%) alloy and its effect on mechanical properties were investigated; a cuboid-shaped Mg-2(Sn,Y)(3)Gd-2 was observed in a homogenized/hot-extruded condition. Precipitations involving Mg-5(Gd,Y)-particles, Mg-3(Gd,Y)-beta ''(D0(19)), Mg-5(Gd,Y)-beta'(bco) and beta(1)(fcc) were identified during isothermal ageing; the metastable beta' phase is the key factor for the enhancement in both the Vickers hardness and the tensile strength. The highest ultimate tensile strength (UTS) up to 352 MPa was achieved when aged at 200 degrees C for 100 h post extrusion. Existing traditional strengthening models were employed to account for the strength improvement of thermomechanically treated alloys and their individual contribution was estimated. The results showed that precipitation strengthening played a much more prominent role. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
