The results showed that the solution treatment did not cause the growth of grains and the change of texture;however, the mechanical properties had been significantly improved, which was mainly attributed to the precipitation of 18R long period ordered stacking(LPSO) phase in the solution-treated alloys. In addition, the dissolution of β-Mg_(24)Y_(5)phase and the diffusion of solute atoms during the solution treatment were both beneficial to the mechanical properties. When the as-cast alloy was solution-treated at 540℃ for 4 h(T4-4h alloy), the mechanical properties of the alloy are optimal. Compared with the as-cast alloy,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) and elongation of the T4-4h alloy are increased by ~23% and ~179%, respectively. The deformation of the T4-4h alloys was dominated by a combination of basal slip and non-basal slip, and the presence of the LPSO phase effectively inhibited the nucleation of extension twin. Besides, the LPSO phase can also hinder the activation of basal dislocations and the movement of non-basal dislocations. Therefore, the LPSO phase simultaneously improves the strength and plasticity of the alloy.展开更多

The hot deformation behavior of (3 vol% SiCp -4- 3 vol% Mg2B2Osw)/6061 A1 (W3P3) hybrid composite and 6 vol% SiCp/6061 A1 (P6) composite have been characterized in the temperature range of 300--450 ℃ and strain...The hot deformation behavior of (3 vol% SiCp -4- 3 vol% Mg2B2Osw)/6061 A1 (W3P3) hybrid composite and 6 vol% SiCp/6061 A1 (P6) composite have been characterized in the temperature range of 300--450 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.0001-0.1 s-1 using isothermal constant true strain rate tests. The flow behavior and processing maps have been investigated using the corrected data to eliminate the effect of friction. Under the same deformation conditions, the compressive resistance of the singular composite remains superior to that of the hybrid composites. The processing map of W3P3 hybrid composite exhibits a single hot working domain at the temperature between 350 and 450 ℃ with strain rate between 0.0001 and 0.003 s-1 (domain A). Two hot working domains exist for P6 composite: (i) 300-400 ℃/ 0.0001-0.003 s-1 (domain B1); (ii) 380-450 ℃/0.01-0.1 s-1 (domain B2). The processing maps also reveal the flow instability of the two composites, which is associated with whiskers breakage, whisker/matrix interfacial debonding, SiCp/ matrix interfacial decohesion, adiabatic shear bands or flow localization, and wedge cracking in the corresponding regions. The estimated apparent activation energies are about 224 kJ mo1-1 in domain A for W3P3 hybrid composite, 177 kJ mo1-1 in domain B1 and 263 kJ mo1-1 in domain B2 for P6 composite, respectively. These values are higher than that for self-diffusion in A1 (142 kJ mol-1), suggesting that there is a significant contribution from the back stress caused by the presence of particles and/or whiskers in the matrix. The deformation mechanisms corresponding to domain B 1 and domain B2 are dislocation climb controlled creep and cross-slip for P6 composite, respectively. For W3P3 hybrid composite, the deformation mechanisms contain dislocation climb controlled creep and grain boundary sliding caused by DRX in domain A.展开更多

文摘In this study, a systematic investigation on the effect of solution treatment time(2–8 h) at 540℃ on the microstructure and mechanical properties in as-cast Mg-1Al-12Y(AY112, wt.%) alloy was performed. The results showed that the solution treatment did not cause the growth of grains and the change of texture;however, the mechanical properties had been significantly improved, which was mainly attributed to the precipitation of 18R long period ordered stacking(LPSO) phase in the solution-treated alloys. In addition, the dissolution of β-Mg_(24)Y_(5)phase and the diffusion of solute atoms during the solution treatment were both beneficial to the mechanical properties. When the as-cast alloy was solution-treated at 540℃ for 4 h(T4-4h alloy), the mechanical properties of the alloy are optimal. Compared with the as-cast alloy,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) and elongation of the T4-4h alloy are increased by ~23% and ~179%, respectively.

Besides, the LPSO phase can also hinder the activation of basal dislocations and the movement of non-basal dislocations. Therefore, the LPSO phase simultaneously improves the strength and plasticity of the alloy.
