摘要
Crystal defects in a plastically deformed Mg-Zn-Y alloy have been studied on the atomic scale using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, providing important structural data for understanding the material's deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms. Atomic scale structures of deformation stacking faults resulting from dissociation of different types of dislocations have been characterized experimentally, and modeled. Suzuki segregation of Zn and Y along stacking faults formed through dislocation dissociation during plastic deformation at 300 degrees C is confirmed experimentally on the atomic level. The stacking fault energy of the Mg-Zn-Y alloy is evaluated to be in the range of 4.0-10.3 mJ m(-2). The newly formed nanometer-wide stacking faults with their Zn/Y segregation in Mg grains play an important role in the superior strength of this alloy at elevated temperatures.
