摘要
This study examined the high temperature mechanical properties of as-cast, solution-treated and aging-treated Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si alloy. The microstructure of as-cast Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si alloy mainly consisted of alpha-Mg, Mg(17)Al(12), Mg(2)Si and Mg(2)Sn phases. After solution heat-treatment, most of the Mg(17)Al(12) phases were dissolved into the matrix. In the case of aging heat-treatment, finely distributed Mg(17)Al(12) and Mg(2)Sn phases were evenly formed inside the grains. The ultimate tensile strength of solution treated Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si alloy at 25 degrees C was decreased due to the reduced volume fraction of Mg(17)Al(12) phase. However, the creep resistance was increased by solution heat-treatment because of complete dissolution of the thermally unstable Mg(17)Al(12) phase into the Mg matrix. On the other hand, both the tensile strength at 25 degrees C and creep resistance of the peak-aged Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si alloy were improved as compared to those of the as-cast alloy. It seems that the improved mechanical properties were associated with finely distributed Mg(17)Al(12) and Mg(2)Sn phases. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
