Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The as-cast Mg-14Li-3Al-(0-0.9)RE alloys were prepared with vacuum melting method, then processed by hot extrusion. The microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. The results show that both addition of RE and extrusion deformation can refine the grain size. Al3La compounds are formed with addition of La-rich misch metal. The as-extruded Mg-14Li-3Al-0.6RE alloy obtains the finest grain size (4.28 μm) and the highest mechanical properties (σb=222.75 MPa, δ=23.8%), which is related to the grain refinement and the formation of Al3La.

Lamellar Eutectic Structure

This work mainly studied the effects of hot extrusion on microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of Mg-5Li-3Al-2Zn alloy. The results show that the microstructures of as-cast and as-extruded alloys both consist of α-Mg matrix and lamellar eutectic structure (α-Mg and AlLi phases). During the hot extrusion, the large eutectic structure of as-cast alloy was crushed into small eutectic structure and the grains were effectively refined. A {0002} basal texture was formed after hot extrusion. The as-extruded alloy exhibits remarkably improved tensile properties, which is mainly attributed to the grain refinement and the formation of texture.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of extruded AZ91(-Ca) alloys have been studied in this paper. The results showed that Ca has no significant effect on reducing grain size of the extruded AZ91 alloy. The ambient temperature tensile tests showed that the ultimate and yield strength of extruded AZ91 alloy decreased by addition of Ca. At elevated temperature, Ca addition improves the yield strength of both AZ91 alloy. The variations in microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ91 alloy are also discussed in terms of the effects of Ca on grain refinement and formation of constituent phases.

Strength And Ductility

A small amount of misch metal was added to CuZnAl alloy in order to study the effect of grain refinement and mechanical properties, phase transformation behavior and stabilization of martensite. It was found that the addition of misch metal was very effective for reducing the grain size. The coarse grains over 1000 μm have been refined to the size of 30 μm by the addition of 0.43wt% misch metal. The grain size of thermo-mechanically treated alloys was barely affected by cold working. The fracture strength and ductility have been significantly increased with the increase of misch metal content when tensile test is carried out below Mf temperature. Also, the fracture strength has been more increased in the case of post-quench ageing treatment than the direct quench ageing treatment. The fracture mode has been changed from transgranular brittle fracture to ductile fracture with void formation and coalescence by the addition of misch metal.

This article presents the effect of individual addition of Sb, Sn and Pb on the precipitation sequence at room as well as high temperature tensile properties of AZ91 alloy. The results show grain refinement, formation of Mg3Sb2 and Mg2Sn phases when Sb and Sn are added to AZ91 alloy. Lamellar precipitate is significantly suppressed while Pb added. Improved room and high temperature tensile properties are observed in Sb and Sn addition. Maximum tensile properties are noticed with AZ91 alloy having 0.5 wt.% Sb addition.

The effects of trace boron on microstructure and mechanical properties of β type Ti-9V-3Al-3Cr-3Zr-3.5Mo (wt. %) alloy have been investigated in this study. Upon the addition of 0.02 wt. % boron, the grain size of the B-modified alloy was almost four times smaller than that of the B-free alloy. Accordingly, the tensile strength and elongation of B-modified alloy increased from 712 MPa and 14.6 % to 813 MPa and 17.9 %, respectively, mainly due to the effect of grain refinement.

Mg-1.6 Gd alloy ingot were prepared by hot extrusion. The extruded alloy exhibits the recrystallised grain size and excellent mechanical properties. The aim of this study is to explore the microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-1.6 Gd to be used as implant. Extrusion was performed at temperatures of 400°C, 450 °C, 500°C and 550°C with a speed of 1mm/s and extrusion ratio of 30%. Tension and hardness testing were carried out on samples taken from extruded rod of Mg-Gd alloy. Microstructure observation revealed that all extruded alloy specimens constitued of finer grain size (~14 um) compared to that of the as-cast alloy (> 500 um) as the result of full recrystallization occured at 400 °C. The grain size increased larger with an increase temperature and the peak value is 25mm at temperature of 550 °C. Hardness of the alloy decreased as the extrusion temperature increased from 48.7 HV at 400 °C to 42 HV at 550 °C which is associated with the change in the grain size. Tensile strengths were not apparently affected by the temperature change, however, it was observed that the tensile and yield strengths dropped at 500 °C. Meanwhile, the elongation decreased with increasing temperature which reached 24 % at the lowest temperature. Detailed explaination of the relationship of microstructure and mechanical properties is discussed in this paper.

The effect of mixed RE elements (Y, Nd, Gd ) on the microstructure and tensile properties of die-cast AZ91D alloy were investigated. The results indicated that the content of mixed RE elements lead to the change of the formation of Al▔RE compounds and reduction of the fraction of β-Mg17Al12 phase. The grain size of the alloy added 1.0wt. % RE became smaller than die-cast AZ91D and AZ91D+2.0wt. % RE alloys. The UTS of die-cast AZ91D+xRE(x=0 wt. %, 1.0wt. %, 2.0 wt. %) alloys were 204MPa, 194MPa, 203.6MPa at room temperature, respectively. Moreover, RE addition resulted in fracture behaviors changed.

Screw Mechanism

A new rheo-extrusion technique has been developed to produce extruded profiles. The AZ31 slurry is fabricated by a twin-screw mechanism, and has spheroidal solid particles with a grain size of about 50 to 80μm. The slurry was introduced into an extrusion container with an inner diameter of 95mm, and then squeezed to a billet before extruding into a round bar with a diameter of 22mm using a 500kN extrusion machine. It is found that the new technique has a lower deformation resistance than that of the conventionally hot extrusion technique in the same extrusion velocity. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the rheo-extruded bars were examined in detail. The results illustrated that grains of the bar were very fine with the average grain size about 2.3μm，and the mechanical properties were improved substantially compared with those of the same alloy produced by the conventional hot extrusion.

Structure Evolution

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of multi-channel spiral twist extrusion (MCSTE) processing on the mechanical properties and structural evolution of AA5083. The structural evolution and texture developed were mapped by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for three successive passes and compared with an as-annealed plate. An evaluation of the hardness and tensile properties was presented and correlated with the EBSD findings. The displayed EBSD results revealed that grain refinement was strongly associated with the presence of a high density of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) after one pass, which developed into fine grains of less than 20 μm and high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) after three MCSTE passes. The three pass processing led to a 65% reduction in grain size. This reduction in grain size was coupled with an enhancement in the hardness and tensile properties. Additionally, the crystallographic texture study represented a slightly random texture due to the presence of intermetallic particles in AA5083. This study demonstrates the efficacy of MCSTE as a grain refinement tool.

The effects of 0.1 wt.% Sc and 0.1 wt.% Zr addition in AA5182 on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Results show that Al3(ScxZr1−x) dispersoids formed in AA5182. Observation of ingots microstructures showed that the grain size of 5182-Sc-Zr alloy was 56% lower than that of based AA5182. Isothermal annealing between 230 °C and 500 °C for 2 h was performed to study the recrystallization, tensile properties and dispersoid coarsening. The recrystallization was inhibited by the dispersoids, and the alloy microstructure remained deformed after annealing. Al3(ScxZr1−x) in AA5182 was stable when annealing below 400 °C, while parts of dispersoids coarsened significantly when heating at 500 °C. The addition of Sc and Zr allowed YS of 5182 alloy to achieve 247.8 MPa, which is 100 MPa higher than the corresponding AA5182. The contributions of Orowan strengthening and grain boundary strengthening were obtained by calculation.
