The extruded AZ80 alloy is compressed along the transverse direction to introduce {10-12} twins,followed by an aging treatment at 300 ℃. The extruded material exhibits a twin-free microstructure with low internal strain energy, whereas the pre-twinned material possesses abundant {10-12} twins and has high internal strain energy. The aging results reveal that the peak-aging time of the pre-twinned material(1 h) is one-eighth of that of the extruded material(8 h). Although Mg_(17)Al_(12) continuous precipitates(CPs)are observed in both the peak-aged materials, these CPs are much smaller and more densely distributed in the pre-twinned material despite the significantly shorter aging time. The CPs size in the peak-aged materials increases in the following order: twinned region in the pre-twinned material(0.47 μm) < residual matrix region in the pre-twinned material(1.71 μm) < matrix region in the extruded material(2.55 μm).Moreover, the CPs number density in the twinned region of the pre-twinned material is approximately 11 times higher than that in the matrix region of the extruded material. The peak-aged pre-twinned material exhibits significantly higher tensile strength and ductility than the peak-aged extruded material. These results demonstrate that the formation of {10-12} twins in the extruded AZ80 alloy substantially accelerates the static precipitation of CPs during aging at 300 ℃ and improves the tensile properties of the peak-aged material.展开更多
