摘要
The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy with Ca, Sm addition were investigated. The results showed that the addition of 0.5 wt.% Ca reduced the quantity of Mg17Al12 phase, and formed a new Al4Ca phase which is reticular in AZ61 alloy. With the addition of Ca and Sm, the microstructure was further refined and new Al-Sm rich phases were formed in AZ61 alloy with 0.6 wt.%-1.5 wt.% Sm addition, the TEM analysis confirmed that they were Al2Sm and Al4Sm. Tensile tests showed that 1.0 wt.% Sm addition contributed to the formation of the Al2Sm and Al4Sm and the improvement in the ambient strength, i.e., an ultimate tensile strength of 327 MPa and an elongation of 10.1%. However, excessive Sm addition led to the coarsening of Al2Sm and Al4Sm phases, thus resulted in the decline of strength and plasticity.
