摘要
The growth of and transformation between 18R and 14H phases in a Mg-8Y-2Zn-0.6Zr (wt.%) alloy have been examined using conventional transmission electron microscopy and atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. The growth of both 18R and 14H within the alpha-Mg matrix occurs via a ledge mechanism, with the thickness of the particle increasing by the height of the ledge as it propagates. The unit height of the growth ledges or disconnections is 1.563 nm for 18R and 1.824 nm for 14H, and the displacement vector is a/3 <(1) over bar 010 >(alpha), 18R transforms in-situ to 14H during prolonged heat treatment at 500 degrees C. The 18R to 14H transformation is shown to occur most readily in regions where the 18R structure has irregularities in the building block stacking, in particular where a pair of adjacent building blocks is separated by four rather than two alpha-Mg layers. It is proposed that the diffusional-displacive 18R to 14H transformation rate is controlled by the diffusion rate of Y and Zn atoms into the segregation layers. (C) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc.
