摘要
The mechanisms of multimodal microstructure evolution and the effects of microstructural factors on mechanical properties must be elucidated to design new alloys with superior properties.In this study,high-fracture-toughness and ductile Mg_(96.75)Zn_(0.85)Y_(2.05)Al_(0.35) alloys were developed using rapidly solidified(RS)ribbon-consolidation technique,and the inherited multimodal microstructure evolution during plastic flow consolidation of the RS ribbons was investigated.The use of extrusion for plastic flow consolidation of the heat-treated RS ribbons produced a multimodal microstructure consisting of the worked grains with high Kernel average misorientation(KAM)angles(Group1),the ultrafine dynamically recrystallized(DRXed)grains with intermediate KAM angles(Group 2),and the fine DRXed grains with low KAM angles(Group 3).Groups 1 and 2 contribute to the alloy strengthening,while Group 3 contributes to improving ductility with strainhardening,resulting in enhancement of the fracture toughness.To form the multimodal microstructure,it was necessary to apply plastic flow with equivalent strains of>2.3 to the heat-treated RS ribbons possessing duplex microstructures with different dispersions of the long-period stacking ordered phase.
