摘要
The distribution arrangements of beta(1) precipitate plates in Mg-Y-Nd alloy WE54 are systematically examined using high-angle annular dark-field and bright-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the beta(1) plates often form with a triadic configuration that is the building block of a honeycomb structure. In a triad, three beta(1) variants are separated by 120 degrees pointing outward with an equilateral-triangular Mg phase isolated in the triadic centre. The isolated Mg phase is related to the surrounding Mg matrix by a unique 10.5 degrees rotation about [0001](alpha). The interface between the isolated Mg phase and the three surrounding beta(1) variants is ((2) over bar2 (4) over bar)(beta 1))//(2 (2) over bar 00)(alpha-iso), which is fully coherent and identical to that between the broad side of beta(1) variants and surrounding Mg matrix ((2) over bar 24)(beta 1)//(2 (2) over bar 00)(alpha). It is shown that the rotation of the isolated Mg phase is necessary to minimise the shear strain energy and the interfacial energy of the triadic precipitates. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc.
