摘要
Microstructure and mechanical properties of LA141(Mg-14Li-1A1)-xNd alloys were studied. Results show that Nd has obvious refining effect on the alloys when the Nd addition is 0.6 wt%. 0.6 wt% Nd addition makes the grain size of LA141 alloys decrease by 30%. When Nd addition is less than 0.6 wt%, Al2Nd formed in alloys is favorable for strength improvement. When Al2Nd amount is too much, cracks are easy to form during tensile test, causing the decrease of strength. 0.6 wt% Nd addition makes LA141 alloys reach its peak strength. The strength of Mg-14Li-1Al-0.6Nd alloy increases by 45%, compared with that of LA141 alloys. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
