摘要
Effects of Nd additions (0-4 wt-%) on microstructures and properties of Mg-Al-Ca alloy at room temperature and 150 degrees C have been investigated. The results showed that Mg-6Al-2Ca alloy consisted of alpha-Mg matrix, Mg17Al12, Mg-Ca and Al-Ca phases. The amount of Al-Nd phase increases with the increasing of Nd content while that of Mg17Al12 decreases. On the other hand, Nd refines the microstructure of as cast and extruded alloys. The ultimate strength and yield strength of experimental alloys are improved with the addition of Nd, and the largest values are 319 and 210 MPa respectively at room temperature. When the temperature was elevated to 150 degrees C, with the increasing of Nd, ultimate strength and yield strength of experimental alloys are first increased and subsequently decreased. Mg-6Al-2Ca-xNd alloy has the best ultimate strength and yield strength at 150 degrees C, which reaches 265 and 179 MPa respectively when the content of Nd reached 3%.
