Microstructure and mechanical properties of high speed indirect-extruded Mg-5Sn-(1,2,4 )Zn alloys

The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of high speed indirect-extruded Mg-5%Sn-(1, 2, 4) Zn(mass fraction, %) alloys were investigated by optical microscopy(OM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), differential thermal analysis(DTA) and a static tension tester. All the studied alloys can be extruded successfully at a high speed of 10 m/min. The grain size, area fraction of particles and tensile properties are found to be greatly affected by the extrusion speed and Zn content, resulting in tensile properties showing lower strength and ductility as the extrusion speed increases and Zn content decreases. The dependence of grain size and tensile properties on the second phase particles is also discussed.

超细晶反挤压Mg-8Sn-1Al-1Zn合金的组织和性能

采用OM、SEM、XRD、EBSD、TEM和电子材料试验机等手段研究了超细晶反挤压Mg-8%Sn-1Al-1Zn(质量分数)合金的组织和力学性能。结果表明:在250℃下,通过反挤压可以制备出具有超细晶组织的高强度Mg-8Sn-1Al-1Zn合金。在反挤压过程中,大部分粗大晶粒均通过动态再结晶转变为细小的等轴晶,其平均晶粒尺寸为1.92μm。另外,合金中存在大量的微米和纳米级Mg2Sn颗粒相。反挤压合金表现出典型的基面纤维织构。上述组织特征是动态再结晶、孪晶和第二相共同作用的结果。合金的室温抗拉屈服强度和压缩屈服强度分别为285和260MPa,合金的拉伸/压缩屈服点比率R高达0.91。合金的高强度和高R值主要归因于合金的细晶组织以及弥散分布的微纳米级第二相。
