It is very important to study the solidification path of alloys. In the work, thermal analysis with cooling curve was used for the investigation of microstructure evolution with different Zn contents during solidification process of MgZn_xY_4Zr_(0.5) alloys. Thermal analysis results of MgY_4Zr_(0.5) alloys revealed one distinct phase precipitation: α-Mg. Three different phase peaks were detected in the Zn-containing alloys: α-Mg, Z-phase(Mg_(12)YZn) and W-phase(Mg_3 Y_2Zn_3). In addition, for the present MgZn_xY_4Zr_(0.5) alloys, the freezing ranges of these alloys from large to small were: MgZn_(1.5)Y_4Zr_(0.5)>MgZn)(3.0) Y)4Zr_(0.5)>MgZn0.5 Y4 Zr0.5>MgY_4Zr_(0.5). The effect of different contents of Zn(0, 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 wt.%) on hot tearing behavior of MgY_4Zr_(0.5) alloy was investigated using a constrained rod casting(CRC) apparatus equipped with a load cell and data acquisition system. The experimental results show that the addition of Zn element significantly increases hot tearing susceptibility(HTS) of the MgY_4Zr_(0.5) alloy due to its extended freezing range. Some free dendrite-like bumps and ruptured liquid films on the fracture surfaces were observed in all the fracture surfaces. These phenomena proved the fact that the hot tearing formation was caused by interdendritic separation due to lack of feeding at the end of solidification.展开更多

The experimental results indicate thatthe hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) is affected by the content of Zn. The Zn-free base alloy shows the lowest HTS. The HTS ofMg?xZn?2Y alloys increases with increasing Zn content, reaches the maximum at 1.5% Zn, and then decreases with further Znaddition. The high HTS observed in the alloy with 1.5% Zn is attributed to its high force release rate and large force drop duringsolidification. The hot cracks of casting are initiated and propagate along the dendritic or grain boundaries. The predictions of HTS ofMg?xZn?2Y alloys using ProCAST software are in good agreement with the results obtained by experimental measurements.展开更多

The effect of Cu content(0, 1, 2 and 3, mass fraction, %) on the hot tearing behavior of the Mg-7 Zn-x Cu-0.6 Zr alloys was investigated with a constrained rod casting(CRC) apparatus, equipped with a load sensor and a data acquisition system. The thermal analysis results of Mg-7 Zn-x Cu-0.6 Zr alloy revealed that the alloy consisted of two distinct phases: α-Mg and Mg Zn2. Three distinct peaks were observed in the alloys with Cu addition, which were identified as α-Mg, Mg Zn Cu and Mg Zn2. In addition, the reaction temperature of α-Mg decreased and the reaction temperatures of Mg Zn2 and Mg Zn Cu increased as the Cu content increased. The experimental results of hot tearing demonstrated that the addition of Cu significantly reduced the hot tearing susceptibility(HTS) of Mg-7 Zn-x Cu-0.6 Zr alloys due to the higher eutectic temperature and the shorter solidification temperature region.展开更多
