The rare earth element Ce was added in Mg-2.0Zn-1.0Mn magnesium alloys. And the homogenizing treatment and the extrusion deformation tests for the alloy were carried out. The effects of the Ce addition and homogenization on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-2.0Zn-1.0Mn magnesium alloys were studied in the present investigation. The results showed that the addition of Ce can effectively refine the grain size of ZM21 alloy, improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy ZM21 and reduce the latent heat and solidification temperature range of the alloy. Homogenizing annealing treatment slightly affected the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZM21 alloy extrusion products but significantly affected the ZM21+Ce magnesium alloy. The fracture analysis indicated that the fracture of the two alloys was mixed fracture, while the fracture of magnesium alloy ZM21+Ce showed more ductile fracture feature.

Grain refinement is important for improving the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. Carbon inoculation is an effective method of grain refinement process for magnesium alloys containing aluminum. In this paper, the C2Cl6 and graphite powder were used as the potential grain refiners for AM60 and AZ91 alloys, respectively. The results show that the microstructure and mechanical properties of these Mg-Al magnesium alloys have been improved with these grain refiners.

Zk60 Magnesium Alloy

The effect of different hydrostatic extrusion ratios on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the ZK60 magnesium alloys were investigated. The results showed that, the major deformation mechanism of the alloy is twinning at room temperature, which resulted in that the tensile strengthen and hardness of the extruded alloy improved greatly. With deformation ratio increasing, the ultimate tensile strengthen and hardness are linearly increased, with the functions of Y= 4.2X+358.3 and Y=2.3X +73.69, respectively. And the maximum tensile strength and hardness of the extruded alloy are 383 MPa and 87HB, respectively. But the elongation decreases obviously, the minimum decreasing degree is 50%. With the deformation ratio increasing, the tendency of elongation rate increased as an “M” model.

Az31 Magnesium Alloys

The microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloys were investigated in this paper. AZ31 magnesium alloys were cryogenically treated at -196°C for 1, 5 and 24 hours, respectively. The results showed the grains of AZ31 were initially refined and grew up with the increase of cryogenic time, the second phase decreased gradually, and the rigidity and tensile strength decreased drastically and then increased. As a result, AZ31 magnesium alloys with 1 hour cryogenic treatment were able to obtain the optimal combination properties.

Abstract Grain refinement has a significant influence on the improvement of mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. In this study, a series of Al–Ti–C-xGd (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) master alloys as grain refiners were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The synthesis mechanism of the Al–Ti–C-xGd master alloy was analyzed. The effects of Al–Ti–C-xGd master alloys on the grain refinement and mechanical properties of AZ31 (Mg-3Al-1Zn-0.4Mn) magnesium alloys were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the Al–Ti–C-xGd alloy contains α-Al, TiAl3, TiC and the core–shell structure TiAl3/Ti2Al20Gd. The refining effect of the prepared Al–Ti–C–Gd master alloy is obviously better than that of Al–Ti–C master alloy. The grain size of AZ31 magnesium alloy was reduced from 323 μm to 72 μm when adding 1 wt.% Al–Ti–C-2Gd master alloy. In the same condition, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of as-cast alloy were increased from 130 MPa, 7.9% to 207 MPa, 16.6% respectively.
