摘要
A new kind of Mg-4.0 wt.%Zn-0.5 wt.%Ca alloy is fabricated by casting and hot extrusion for used as a high performance structure material as well as a biomaterial. In the as-cast alloy, the average grain size of the alpha-Mg is 120-150 mu m and the precipitated second phases are distributed uniformly in alpha-Mg grains. The as-cast Mg-4.0 wt.%Zn-0.5 wt.%Ca alloy shows a good balance between the tensile strength (211 MPa) and ductility (17% in elongation). After hot extrusion at 593 K, the second phase is greatly refined and the average grain size of the alpha-Mg is reduced to 8-12 mu m which is resulted from dynamic re-crystallization during hot extrusion. In this case, it exhibits a high tensile strength (273 MPa) and a high ductility (34% in elongation) at room temperature. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
