Dislocation Movement

The effects of different amounts of rare earth Gd added into AZ61 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys were studied in this paper. And it adopts T6 heat treatment. When 2% Gd has been added, the microstructure of the alloy becomes uniform. The grains are refining. Gd is prior to reacting with Al for forming Al2Gd phase with high melting point. It is in the form of dot-like and globosity along the grain boundary. And β-Mg17A112 phase is reduced and its shape is thinner. The Al2Gd phase hinders dislocation movement. It markedly improves the mechanical properties of the alloy at room temperature and high temperature.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

A series of Mg-6Al-2Sr-1.5Y-xNd (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2) alloy samples were prepared and their microstructures were observed and mechanical properties were measured. The existing forms of Y and Nd were studied. The effects of Y and Nd on microstructure and mechanical properties of AJ62 alloy were investigated. The results show that the main existing forms of Y and Nd in AJ62 alloy are Al2Y and Al2Nd. The combined addition of rare earth Y and Nd can refine α-Mg matrix obviously and reduce the amount of the β-Mg17Al12phases; after solid solution treatment, the tensile strength of the alloys rise first and fall later with increasing content of Nd. When the content of Nd is about 0.6%wt, the values of tensile strengthes are up to the maximum both at room temperature and at 448 K.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of medium-Mn steel (Fe–0.14C–5Mn–1Al–Ce) processed by different austenite reverted transformation-annealing temperatures vary from 580 °C to 740 °C were studied. It was found that the austenite reverted transformation-annealing temperature has a strong effect on microstructure evolution. The martensite structure was transformed into austenite by austenite reverted transformation during the austenite reverted transformation-annealing process. The orientation relationship between the austenite and the matrix was dominated by the Kennicutt–Schmidt relation. With the increase of the austenite reverted transformation-annealing temperature, the content of retained austenite first increases and then decreases at room temperature. The tensile strength first decreases and then increases, while the elongation first increases and then decreases. An excellent combination of tensile strength and elongation (Rm × A) was obtained in the Fe–0.14C–5Mn–1Al–Ce steel by austenite reverted transformation-annealing at 640 °C.

Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ31/WE43 bimetal composites was investigated, and the optimized solution treatment and ageing treatment parameters were achieved. After heat treatment, it was found that that the high melting-point Y-rich phases and Mg-RE (rare earth) phases at the interface were distributed more uniformly, so the interfacial strength and plasticity were improved. Meanwhile, the shear strength and plasticity of AZ31 were increased, and the shear strength of WE43 was also improved by heat treatment. The evolution of interface morphologies and enhancement of the mechanical properties at the interface will be discussed in detail.

Resistant Composite Material

The properties of ceramic-metal (Cermet) composites as tensile strength, hardness and resistance to corrosion and high temperature are superior than ceramics and metals. Because of the enhanced characteristics of cermets, they are commonly used in various applications and industries. The main objective of this study is to produce a cheap, easy produced, strong and high corrosion resistant composite material. For these purposes, zinc is used for its natural capacity against corrosion, low density, low melting point and softness. Magnesium aluminates spinel oxide (MgAl2O4) is chosen because of its high melting point and low density. Fly ash is a waste from coal power plant having puzzolanic properties. In this study, the effect of various amounts of zinc and fly ash addition on density and hardness behaviour of zinc-based MgAl2O4 composites was investigated. The experimental results showed that zinc and fly ash addition improved the hardness behavior of zincbased MgAl2O4 composite.

Cyclic channel die compression (CCDC) of AZ31-1.7 wt.% Si alloy was performed up to 5 passes at 623 K in order to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of compressed alloys. The results show that multi-pass CCDC is very effective to refine the matrix grain and Mg2Si phases. After the alloy is processed for 5 passes, the mean grain size decreases from 300 μm of as-cast to 8 μm. Both dendritic and Chinese script type Mg2Si phases break into small polygonal pieces and distribute uniformly in the matrix. The tensile strength increases prominently from 118 MPa to 216 MPa, whereas the hardness of alloy deformed 5 passes only increase by 8.4% compared with as-cast state.
