The effects of 2-12 wt.% Y addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Y binary alloys have been investigated. The results show that proper content of rare earth Y addition can obviously refine the grains and form high melting point Mg24Y5 phases in the matrix, and improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys. At room temperature, the optimum combination of ultimate tensile strength and elongation, 195MPa and 7.5%, is obtained in Mg-10 wt.% Y alloy.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of aged Mg-5.5Al-1.2Y magnesium alloy with Ca addition are investigated. The results show that with 1.0wt.% Ca addition, the phase of Al2Y is refined obviously and the phase of Mg17Al12 has a dramatic decrease in number. And, high melting point intermetallic compounds Al2Ca and Al4Ca are formed. Meanwhile, the β-Mg17Al12 phase become more dispersed. After 1.0wt.% Ca addition, the mechanical properties of the alloy at room and elevated temperature are improved.

To study the effect of cooling speed on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder alloy, molten alloys were cooled at two different rates, using water-cooling and mold-cooling. The mechanical properties of the obtained alloys were analyzed with a universal testing machine (UTM) and by Vickers microhardness testing (HV). The microstructures were characterized using an optical microscope (OM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).The melting point was ascertained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The cooling rate of the water-cooled system (0.28 o C/s) was faster than the cooling rate of the mold-cooled system (0.05 °C/s). The grain size of the alloy produced by the faster cooling rate was finer than that of the alloy obtained from the slower cooling rate. This finer grain size gave the alloy superior ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and hardness but inferior ductility (%EL). The microstructure of both Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder alloys exhibited three phases of β-Sn, Cu6Sn5 and (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 intermetallic compounds. The melting point and undercooling of the solder alloys was 233.8 °C and 35.7 °C, respectively.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of aged AZ81 magnesium alloy with Ca addition have been investigated. The results show that with proper content of Ca addition, the microstructure of AZ81 magnesium alloy is refined. Meanwhile, high melting point granular compounds Al4Ca are formed, and the quantity of β-Mg17Al12phase is reduced significantly. And the mechanical properties of AZ81 magnesium alloy are enhanced at room temperature and 150°C.
