The results show that an appropriate amount of Ce-rich rare earth addition can make the AI4Ce phase particles and CeSb phase disperse more evenly in the alloy. These phases refine the alloy＇s matrix and make the secondary phases [τ-Mg32（AI,Zn）49 phase and φ-Al2MgsZn2 phase] finer and more dispersive, therefore significantly improve the mechanical properties of the Mg-10Zn-5AI-0,1Sb alloy. When the RE addition is 1.0 wt.%, the tensile strengths of the alloy both at room temperature and 150℃ reach the maximum values while the impact toughness is slightly lower than that of the matrix alloy. The hardness increases with the increase of RE addition.展开更多

The microstructure of AZ91D and alloying AZ91D is different. Except dominant primary α（Mg） and β-Mg 17Al 12 in AZ91D, a new phase Al 11MM3 is observed in alloyed AZ91D. Increasing Ce-rich MM, primary α grains can be refined, the content and grain size of β obviously decrease, furthermore, its morphology degrades from discontinuous network to separated particles, and Al 11MM3 amount substantially increases and acicular Al 11MM3 aggregates into clusters at grain boundaries. In EMS process, α morphology evolves from rosette to sphere, and then spherical-like with the decrease of isothermal stirring temperature. Moreover, Al 11MM3 mainly distributes inside primary grains and eutecticum in form of short-rod. EMS can alter not only the primary morphology but Al 11MM3.展开更多

The concentration of Ce-rich conversion coating on the anodized Al based metal matrix composites AI6061/SiCp was then studied according to this method. The results revealed that the Ce conversion coating on the anodized AI6061/SiCp consisted of Al oxide, Ce oxide and Ce hydroxide. The state of Ce element exhibited the mixture of Ce3+ and Ce4+. Some of Cell I was oxidized to be CelV in the outer layer coating.展开更多
