摘要
As-cast Mg-9Li-3Al-xNd (x = 0-2.0 wt.%, with the variation of 0.5wt.%) magnesium alloys were prepared through casting in electrical induction melting furnace under a controlled inert gas atmosphere. Influences of Nd over the metallography changes and corrosion characteristics of Mg-9Li-3Al alloys have been examined by following techniques are OM, XRD, SEM and potentio-dynamic polarization (PDP) test. The results illustrate that adding Nd modifies the continuous beta-Li phases into discontinuous phase by the formation of new precipitates such as Al2Nd and Al11Nd3. Meanwhile, the grain sizes of Mg-9Li-3Al-xNd alloys reduced with respect to the increasing Nd content. PDP results disclose that the Nd addition reduces the corrosion current density (i(corr)) of Mg-9Li-3Al alloys which can be essentially produced by grain refinement. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
