Az61 Magnesium Alloy

Abstract Compound extrusion (CE) is a newly developed plastic deformation technique which combines direct extrusion (DE) with a two-pass equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). This paper focuses on the strength, ductility and anti-corrosion properties of an NaCl solution at certain concentrations and the wear-resistance of dry sliding AZ61 magnesium alloy prepared by CE and DE. It is found that the strength and elongation of the AZ61 alloy prepared by CE are enhanced because of grain refinement. Furthermore, AZ61 magnesium alloy made by CE displays higher corrosion and wear resistance than that prepared by DE. Experimental results prove that CE is a prospective manufacturing method for improving the mechanical properties, anti-corrosion and anti-wear of AZ61 magnesium alloy.

Different Temperatures

As-cast AZ61 magnesium alloy was treated by solution under a high-pressure of 3 Gpa at different temperatures, atmospheric temperature, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 °C. The microstructure of the products was observed by optical microscope. The mechanical properties of the products were investigated by brinell hardness tester and tensile testing. The results show that increasing solution temperature promotes the dissolution into α-Mg matrix of β-Mg17Al12 phase of AZ61 alloy, especially for over 400 °C. With increasing solution temperature, the tensile strength and elongation percentage of AZ61 increase gradually, but the hardness decreases.
