Tensile Performance

Microstructures and tensile properties of Mg-8Zn-4Al-xCax=0.6wt.%, 1.0wt.%, 1.3wt.%, named as alloy 1#, 2# and 3# , respectively)extruded magnesium alloy tube were studied at room and elevated temperature. The results show that Ca can increase tensile strength of the alloy at 150 and 200°C significantly. At the temperature of 200°C, alloy 3# achieved optimal tensile properties, of which the ultimate tensile strength, the yield strength and the elongation were 165.8MPa, 108.7Mpa and 41.5% respectively. Compared with the properties of as cast ZAC8506 Magnesium alloy, it is shown that the tensile properties of alloy 3# are much higher than that of ZAC8506 at both room temperature and 150°C. Alloy 3# also gets better tensile performance than AZ91D extruded tube produced in the same way at the temperature of 200°C Mg2Al3 and Ca2Mg5Zn13 phases are found in the microstructure which should contribute to the higher performance of alloy 3# at elevated temperature

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

To investigate the effects of Mo and Bi on mechanical properties of a Zr-Fe-Cr alloy at room temperature, seven Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys with different compositions were designed. They were subjected to a series of rolling processes and heat treatments, and then sampled to measure mechanical properties by hardness and tensile test and to characterize microstructures by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron channel contrast (ECC) technique. Results indicated that among them two types of Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys achieve the designed goals on mechanical properties and have the following advantages: (i) the hardness of the alloys, up to 334HV after annealing, is 40% higher than traditional Zr-4. (ii) The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloys are 526 MP a and 889 MP a after hot rolling and annealing, markedly higher than the traditional Zr alloy. (iii) Good plasticity of the new Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloy is obtained with about 40% elongation, which is greatly higher than the Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo alloy thanks to the addition of Bi offsetting the disadvantage of addition Mo. Furthermore, according to observations of the microstructure observation, the reasons of the effect of the Mo and Bi elements on the mechanical performance of Zr-Fe-Cr alloy were studied and discussed.

AbstractThe effects of Bi on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ80-2Sn alloy were investigated. The results show that the addition of Bi within the as-cast AZ80-2Sn alloy promotes the formation of Mg3Bi2 phase, which can refine the grains and make the eutectic phases discontinuous. The addition of 0.5 % Bi within the as-extruded AZ80-2Sn alloy, the average grain size decreases to 12 μm and the fine granular Mg17Al12 and Mg3Bi2 phases are dispersed in the α-Mg matrix. With an increase in Bi content, the Mg17Al12 and Mg3Bi2 phases become coarsened and the grain size increases. The as-extruded AZ80-2Sn-0.5 %Bi alloy has the optimal properties, and the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are 379.6 MPa, 247.1 MPa and 14.8 %, respectively.

Tensile properties of rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy produced by Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) technique was investigated as a function of temperatures from 25°C to 250 °C in order to assess the potent of high temperature applications. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy decreased steadily with increasing temperature. There was loss in strength of about 33% at 200°C and 46% at 250 °C comparing to the strength at room temperature. At T = 250 °C, the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy were higher than those of the wrought 7075-T651 Al alloy.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of aged Mg-5.5Al-0.5Y magnesium alloy with Sm addition were investigated. The results show that with proper content of Sm addition, the microstructure of Mg-5.5Al-0.5Y magnesium alloy is refined obviously. The quantity of β-Mg17Al12 phase is reduced, and Al2Sm particle phase is formed. With the increase of Sm addition, the mechanical properties of the alloy at room and elevated temperature increase at first, and then decrease. When the content of Sm is up to 1%, the values of tensile strength and elongation at room temperature,150 and 175 are up to their maxima synchronously, 244MPa/20.07%, 217MPa/18.86% and 185MPa/19.15% respectively.

Thermal Exposure

The microstructures and mechanical properties of an Al-Si-Cu-Mg-Ni aluminium alloy have been investigated after thermal exposure at 350 °C for time intervals up to 1000 h. Experimental results showed that, with increasing the thermal exposure time, room temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature ultimate tensile strength, and Brinell hardness firstly decreased remarkably (up to 100 h) and then decreased slightly to a certain constant value (100-1000 h). Before thermal exposure, room temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature ultimate tensile strength, elevated temperature elongation percentage, and Brinell hardness of the alloys are 203.5 MPa, 48.7 MPa, 9.2%, and 82.3, respectively. With increasing the thermal exposure time, eutectic silicon grows up steadily, and the amount of Q phase with a flower shape increases. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the formation of stable θ precipitates was found in the microstructure.

Developing new alloys and techniques is important for the applications of magnesium alloy products. The greatest challenge in the area is to exploit new wrought magnesium alloys[1]. In this paper, the effects of Zn addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the MZK60 wrought alloy which is modified from ZK60 have been investigated. The microstructures of these alloys at various states were evaluated by optical microscopy. The mechanical properties at room temperature of these alloys were studied systematically by tensile test. Experimental results indicated that increasing Zn content to 7~10%wt is able to get not only higher tensile strength and yield strength, but also higher elongation.

In this work, the tensile properties of AZ31 Mg alloy deformed by multi-directional forging (MDF) were investigated at room temperature. And the enhanced mechanical properties of yield strength of 93 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 253 MPa and elongation of 29% were achieved. It is discovered that the MDF deformation makes the crystallographic orientation of original as-cast microstructure randomization, providing the condition for the following twinning during tensile deformation. In addition, the original fine grains and continuously refined grains can enhance the strength by restricting the growth of grains and motion of dislocations.

In the present work, mechanical properties and microstructures of hot-rolled and solution-treated Fe-26Mn-6Al-1C steel (6Al steel) were investigated. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature. The samples were characterized by using XRD, OM, SEM and TEM.

With the increase of the solution treatment temperatures, the strength decreased and the elongation increased. After solution treated at 1100°C for 1h, the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation were 378MPa, 756MPa and 57%.
