Zm21 Magnesium Alloy

Present work pertains to welding of ZM21 magnesium alloy using three different welding techniques namely Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, Laser Beam Welding and Friction Stir Welding. After careful trial and error method, the process parameters were identified to produce defect free, full penetration welds successfully. The microstructure and mechanical properties of ZM21 magnesium alloy using GTAW, LBW and FSW processes were analyzed by optical microscopy, tensile testing and Vickers micro hardness measurements. The results show that the tensile properties of Friction stir welds and Laser beam welds are much better than those of gas tungsten arc welds. The formation of very fine grains in the friction stir welded region and absence of HAZ in LBW are found to be main reasons for better tensile properties. It has been concluded that the ZM21 magnesium alloy exhibits good weldability in all the three welding processes and laser beam welding process offers higher joint efficiency when compared with GTAW and FSW.

Parameter Condition

The two-stage deformation was processed to ZM21alloy as cast at different parameter condition, and structure evolution and mechanical property was analyzed. The results indicate that the grain of ZM21 alloy as cast will be fined by the two-stage extrusion deformation, and its size can decreases from about 100μm to 15.6μm. The strength of ZM21 alloy can be raised by the two-stage deformation, up to 261.7MPa, At the same time, the prolongation rate is more than 16% by the two-stage deformation.

Ce Content

In this paper, the effects of Ce addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the cast and extruded ZM21 magnesium alloy were investigated by OM, XRD, SEM and tensile test at room temperature. It was found that with increase of Ce content, the Mg-Ce and Mg-Zn phases which gather in dendritic gap as second phases increase gradually, and form a network structure finally, which becomes thicker due to serious segregation. Meanwhile, Most of Ce in the extruded ZM21 magnesium alloy is in the forms of second phases, and is broken and dispersed in the matrix alloy during the plastic deformation. With the increase of Ce content, the quantity of the second phase increases, and both the tensile strength and the elongation of ZM21 alloys decrease firstly and then increase. When the content of Ce is 0.57%, the elongation barely reaches the level of ZM21 magnesium alloy. After extrusion, both the tensile and yield strength have been greatly improved.

The effects of Sr addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Mg-6Al mag- nesium alloy both at 25 °C and at 175 °C were investigated by means of OM, SEM and EDS and XRD. Upon the Sr addition of 2%, the tensile strength was increased by 7.2% to 184.4MPa at 25 °C, while it was increased by 30% to 155.4MPa at 175 °C. The strengthening mechanism of Mg-6Al-xSr at lower temperature (25 °C) was different from that at higher temperature (175°C). The results show that the addition of strontium effectively improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.
