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.

Zm21 Magnesium Alloy

The mechanical properties and microstructure of the as-extruded ZM21 magnesium alloy and its modified alloy ZME210 with addition of 0.35wt% cerium were investigated with different extrusion ratios from 14 to 182 by using mechanical property test, microscopic structure quantitative analysis, SEM observation and energy spectrum analysis. The results showed that both ZM21 and ZME210 had an extrusion ratio limit for grain refining, and the grains were found to be finer with higher extrusion ratio when the ratio was not higher than the limit value. The extrusion ratio limit for the best effect for grain refining of ZME210 is lower than that of ZM21. It was found that the Ce can refine the grains effectively after hot extrusion with different extrusion ratios. The effects of Ce on the microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed.

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.

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 microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ81magnesium alloys after unequal channel angular pressing (UCAP) was investigated using self-made 90° die under different temperature. The results showed that under the same pressing speed, there was a better grain refinement and mechanical property improvement with the decreasing of pressing temperature, however, the tiny cracks on the surface of the processed samples increased. When squeezed at 250 , the average grain was refined from the initial 150um to10um. The tensile strength was changed to 350Mpa, and the elongation was of 10. Tensile fractures presented the increment of dimples structure, which was the result of refined α-Mg matrix and intermetallic compound β-Mg17Al12 phase by severe shear and plastic deformation at high temperature press.

Zk60 Magnesium Alloy

The effects of extrusion ratios (15, 30, 45and 60) on microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloy after T5 treatment were investigated. The results show that mechanical properties increase with the increase of extrusion ratios from 15 to 45．However, when the extrusion ratio is increase to 60, each mechanical property is decreased severly．By comparison，in the extrusion ratio of 30, ZK60 magnesium alloy after T5 treatment has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties．Different degrees of dynamic recrystallization appeared in the extrusion process and induced precipitation of second phase．The precipitation of the second phase is beneficial to the grain refinement and meanwhile to the promotion of the strength．
