摘要
Rapidly solidification/powder metallurgy (RS/PM) Mg-6Zn-5Ce-1.5Ca (wt.%) alloy in form of rods has been prepared by hot extrusion with RS powders, produced via atomizing the alloy melt and subsequent splat-quenching on the water-cooled copper twin-rollers. Microstructure characterizations and phase compositions of the alloy have been investigated. The results showed that the RS/PM Mg-6Zn-5Ce-1.5Ca alloy was the characteristics of very fine grains with the size ranging from 200 to 650 nm and was composed of alpha-Mg, Mg(x)Zn(y)Ce(z) phase with a few Ca (about 1 at.%) shortened as the Mg(x)Zn(y)Ce(z)-(Ca) phase, and a small quantity of Mg(51)Zn(20) phases. The melting point of the Mg(x)Zn(y)Ce(z)-(Ca) phase in the alloy was a little higher than that of the Mg(x)Zn(y)Ce(z) phase in RS/PM Mg-6Zn-5Ce alloy, which may be due to the dissolving of Ca in it. Moreover, the atomic percentage ratio of Zn to Ce in the Mg(x)Zn(y)Ce(z)-(Ca) phase around the grain boundary was close to 1.5. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
