It was found that the Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by extrusion and ECAP obtained ultrafine grains and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. After ECAP, the average grain size of Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy was refined to about 400 nm. The highest strengths with yield strength of 381.45 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 438.33 MPa were obtained after 2 passes at 623 K. The high strength of Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy was due to the strengthening by the grain refinement, the long period stacking (LPS) structure, solid solution, fine Mg24Y5 particles, and nano-scale precipitates. It was found that the elongation was decreased with pass number increasing. It was because that the cracks were preferentially initiated and propagated in the interior of X-phase during the tensile test.展开更多

The rolling process was conducted with 10% reduction per pass and five different accumulated strains, varying from 10% to 70%. The results indicate that the as-cast and as-rolled Mg-8Li-3Al-2Zn-0.5Y alloys are composed of α-Mg, β-Li, AlLi and Al;Y phases. After rolling process,anisotropic microstructure was observed. a-Mg phase got elongated in both rolling direction and transverse direction with the addition of rolling strain. Consequently, the strength of the alloy in both directions was notably improved whereas the elongation declined, mainly caused by strain hardening and dispersion strengthening. The tensile properties of the as-rolled alloys in the RD, no matter the YS, UTS or the elongation, are higher than those of the TD due to their larger deformation strain and significant anisotropy in the hcp α-Mg phase. In addition, the fracture and strengthening mechanism of the tested alloys were also investigated systematically.展开更多
We report experimental evidence of in-situ Mg77Cu12Zn5Y6 bulk metallic glass (BMG) ma- trix composite with extraordinary plastic strain of 18.5% and specific strength of 4.31×105 N·m·kg?1, which are the...We report experimental evidence of in-situ Mg77Cu12Zn5Y6 bulk metallic glass (BMG) ma- trix composite with extraordinary plastic strain of 18.5% and specific strength of 4.31×105 N·m·kg?1, which are the highest plasticity and specific strength in Mg base BMG alloys reported to date. The excel- lent mechanical properties are attributed to the for- mation of the composite structure which is composed of amorphous matrix and hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Mg solid solution needle phase with a width less than 500 nm. As plastic phase, the Mg needles not only possess the capability of deformation but also have work hardening phenomenon effect. They give rise to multiple shear bands, and hinder the propagation of local shear band in amorphous matrix.展开更多
