The microstructure and mechanical properties of heat-treated Mg_（94）Zn_（2.5）-Y_（2.5）Mn_1 alloy containing 0.003 wt% B were compared with heat-treated Mg_（94）Zn_（2.5）-Y_（2.5）Mn_1 alloy. The heat-treated Mg_（94）Zn_（2.5）-Y_（2.5）Mn_1 alloy with 0.003 wt% B contained fine and uniform W-phase particles, which exhibited optimal mechanical performance. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation were 287.7, 125.5 MPa and 21.1%,respectively.展开更多

Texture and phases were identified by X-ray diffraction. Alloy ZM31 ＋ 0.3Y consisted of a mixture of fine equiaxed grains and elon- gated grains with 1-phase （Mg3YZno）; alloy ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y contained 1-phase and W-phase （Mg3Y2Zn3）; alloy ZM31 ＋ 6Y had long-period stacking-ordered （LPSO） X-phase （Mg12YZn） and Mg24Y5 particles. With increasing Y content the basal texture became weakened significantly. While alloys ZM31 ＋ 0.3Y and ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y exhibited a skewed true stress-true stain curve with a three-stage strain hardening feature caused by the occurrence of {1072} extension twinning, the true stress-true stain curve of alloy ZM31 ＋ 6Y was normal due to the dislocation slip during compression. With increasing temperature the extent of skewness decreased. While the compressive yield stress, ultimate compressive stress, strain hardening exponent, and hardening capacity all decreased as the temperature increased, the retention of the high- temperature deformation resistance increased with increasing Y content mainly due to the presence of thermally-stable LPSO X-ohase.展开更多

The addition of Y resulted in the formation of ternary 1 （Mg3YZn6）, W （Mg3Y2Zn3） and LPSO （Mg12YZn） phases which subse- quently reinforced alloys ZM31 ＋ 0.3Y, ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y and ZM31 ＋ 6Y, where the value denoted the amount of Y element （in wt%）. Yield strength of the alloys was determined via uniaxial compression testing, and grain size and second-phase particles were characterized using OM and SEM. In-situ high-temperature XRD was performed to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE）, which was derived to be 1.38 x 10^-5 K^-1 and 2.35 x 10^-5 K^-1 for W and LPSO phases, respectively. The individual strengthening effects in each material were quantified for the first time, including grain refinement, Orowan looping, thermal mismatch, dislocation density, load-bearing, and particle shearing contributions. Grain refinement was one of the major strengthening mechanisms and it was present in all the alloys studied, irrespective of the second-phase particles. Orowan looping and crE mismatch were the predominant strengthening mechanisms in the ZM31＋0.3Y and ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y alloys containing I and W phases, respectively, while load-bearing and second-phase shearing were the salient mechanisms contributing largely to the superior yield strength of the LPSO-reinforced ZM31 ＋ 6Y alloy.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.展开更多
