摘要
Age hardening characteristic and tensile property of Mg-3.5Dy-4.0Gd-3.1Nd-0.4Zr alloy were investigated. The alloy exhibits a considerable age hardening effect up to 250℃. Increasing the aging temperature leads to a shorter aging time to reach the peak hardness and a lower peak hardness. The tensile results show that the peak-aged specimens have higher tensile strength at the temperature below 200℃. However, with the increase of temperature further, the tensile strength decreases dramatically and elongation increases drastically. The loss in tensile strength and increase in elongation at high temperature are possibly associated with the instability of secondary precipitates. The fracture mechanism of alloy transfers from intergranular to transgranular with the increase of experimental temperature.
