Zn对挤压态Mg-3Sn-1Ca合金耐蚀性的影响

目的 提高挤压态Mg-3Sn-1Ca合金的耐腐蚀性能。方法 通过合金熔炼制备了Mg-3Sn-Ca(TX31)和Mg-3Sn-Ca-Zn(TXZ311)两种挤压态合金,利用XRD、金相、SEM、EDS、EBSD、析氢、电化学极化曲线和阻抗谱,分析了TX31和TXZ311两种合金的微观组织及耐腐蚀性能。结果 XRD和EDS结果表明,挤压态TX31和TXZ311两种合金中第二相均为CaMgSn相,TXZ311合金中由于Zn的添加,CaMgSn相增加且分布更加均匀。金相和EBSD结果表明,Zn的添加可以提高TX31合金的动态再结晶程度和{0002}基面织构强度,改善TX31合金中组织的不均匀性。从极化曲线上可得,腐蚀电位和腐蚀电流分别为-1.57V和6.95×10^(-5)A。添加Zn后,腐蚀电位升高(-1.49 V),腐蚀电流减小(1.02×10^(-5)A),表明合金耐蚀性提高。对比两种合金阻抗谱可发现,TXZ311合金具有比TX31合金更大的容抗弧,表明其表面的电荷转移电阻和表面膜的电阻最高,动态腐蚀过程中氧化产物膜具有较好的稳定性,有效阻碍了α-Mg基体的腐蚀。TX31合金析氢量和时间成正比,腐蚀速率为3.7mm/a。而TXZ311合金腐蚀速率仅为1.6mm/a,析氢量在腐蚀12 h后明显降低,表明合金表面形成了可以阻碍腐蚀进行的氧化膜。结论 Zn元素可以极大提高TX31合金的耐蚀性。这是由于添加Zn元素后,TXZ311合金腐蚀膜层间的黏附力增加,动态再结晶程度增高,晶粒组织更加均匀,{0001}基面织构强度增加。因此,TXZ311合金的耐蚀性远高于TX31合金。

Residual stress and precipitation of Mg-5Zn-3.5Sn-1Mn-0.5Ca-0.5Cu alloy with different quenching rates

The effect of the quenching rate after solution treatment on the residual stress and precipitation behavior of a high strength Mg-5 Zn-3.5 Sn-1 Mn-0.5 Ca-0.5 Cu plate is studied.The simulation results show decreasing temperature gradient in the plate with decreasing quenching rate,which leads to weakened inhomogeneous plastic deformation and decreased residual stress.No dynamic precipitation on the grain boundary happens after either cold water cooling or air cooling,however,air cooling leads to dynamic precipitation of Mg-Zn phase on Mn particles around which a low-density precipitate zone develops after aging treatment.Moreover,the fine and densely distributed Mg-Zn precipitates observed after aging treatment of the cold water cooled alloy are replaced by coarse precipitates with low density for the air cooled alloy.Both the low-density precipitate zone near Mn particles and the coarsening of precipitates are the source of the decrease in hardness and tensile properties of the air cooled alloy.The residual stress drops faster than the hardness with decreasing quenching rate,which makes it possible to lower the residual stress without sacrificing too much age-hardening ability of the alloy.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of as-extruded and heat treated Mg-6Zn-1Mn-4Sn-1.5Nd alloy

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-6Zn-1Mn-4Sn-1.5Nd alloy subjected to extrusion and T5 treatment were investigated using optical microscopy（OM）, X-ray diffractometer（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, electron back scattered diffraction（EBSD）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, hardness tests and uniaxial tensile tests. The results showed that the as-cast alloy consisted of α（Mg）, Mn, Mg7Zn3, Mg2 Sn and Mg Sn Nd phases. Dynamic recrystallization has completed during the extrusion process and the average grain size was 7.2 μm. After T5 treatment, the strength increased obviously, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of as-extruded alloy were increased by 94 and 34 MPa, respectively. Microstructure characterization revealed that the improvement of strength was determined by the high number density of β′1 rods.

Corrosion characteristics of single-phase Mg-3Zn alloy thin film for biodegradable electronics

Biodegradable metals as electrodes, interconnectors, and device conductors are essential components in the emergence of transient electronics, either for passive implants or active electronic devices, especially in the fields of biomedical electronics. Magnesium and its alloys are strong candidates for biodegradable and implantable conducting materials because of their high conductivity and biocompatibility, in addition to their well-understood dissolution behavior. One critical drawback of Mg and its alloys is their considerably high dissolution rates originating from their low anodic potential, which disturbs the compatibility to biomedical applications. Herein, we introduce a single-phase thin film of a Mg-Zn binary alloy formed by sputtering, which enhances the corrosion resistance of the device electrode, and verify its applicability in biodegradable electronics. The formation of a homogeneous solid solution of single-phase Mg-3Zn was confirmed through X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the dissolution behavior and chemistry was also investigated in various biological fluids by considering the effect of different ion species. Micro-tensile tests showed that the Mg-3Zn alloy electrode exhibited an enhanced yield strain and elongation in relation to a pure Mg electrode. Cell viability test revealed the high biocompatibility rate of the Mg-3Zn binary alloy thin film. Finally, the fabrication of a wireless heater demonstrated the integrability of biodegradable electrodes and highlighted the ability to prolong the lifecycle of thermotherapy-relevant electronics by enhancing the dissolution resistance of the Mg alloy.

Improved tensile properties of Mg-8Sn-1Zn alloy induced by minor Ti addition

In this study, the influence of minor titanium(Ti) addition on the microstructure and tensile properties of Mg-8Sn-1Zn based alloys were investigated by means of optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and tensile tests. The results showed that Ti can decrease the secondary dendrite arm spacing(SDAS). The tensile strength of the Mg-8Sn-1Zn-Ti alloys is initially increased by increasing the Ti content up to 0.09 wt.%, but subsequently decreased for further increase of Ti content. The improved tensile properties are attributed to the decreased SDAS and refi ned Mg_2Sn phases, as well as the increased fraction of tin(Sn) segregated regions. The tensile fracture surface of the studied alloys shows mixed characteristics of cleavage and quasi-cleavage fracture. Adding Ti does not significantly change the fracture mode of the studied alloys.

Modeling of severe deformation and mechanical properties in Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy through asymmetric hot-extrusion

One-pass asymmetric hot extrusion performed at 673 K was applied to fabricate an AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet.Finite element method(FEM) was used to model the process of asymmetric hot-extrusion.Simulation results indicate that strain rate gradient through the thickness introduced a grain size gradient along the thickness direction and shear deformation during the asymmetric hot-extrusion results in weakened and tilted(0002) basal texture.The asymmetric hot extrusion effectively weakens the basal texture and improves the ductility at room temperature.

Effects of Mg content on microstructure and mechanical properties of low Zn-containing Al-xMg-3Zn-1Cu cast alloys

Effects of Mg content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low Zn-containing Al−xMg−3Zn−1Cu cast alloys(x=3−5,wt.%)were investigated.As Mg content increased in the as-cast alloys,the grains were refined due to enhanced growth restriction,and the formation ofη-Mg(AlZnCu)_(2) and S-Al_(2)CuMg phases was inhibited while the formation of T-Mg_(32)(AlZnCu)_(49 )phase was promoted when Mg content exceeded 4 wt.%.The increase of Mg content encumbered the solution kinetics by increasing the size of eutectic phase but accelerated and enhanced the age-hardening through expediting precipitation kinetics and elevating the number density of the precipitates.As Mg content increased,the yield strength and tensile strength of the as-cast,solution-treated and peak-aged alloys were severally improved,while the elongation of the alloys decreased.The tensile strength and elongation of the peak-aged Al−5Mg−3Zn−1Cu alloy exceed 500 MPa and 5%,respectively.Precipitation strengthening implemented by T′precipitates is the predominant strengthening mechanism in the peak-aged alloys and is enhanced by increasing Mg content.

Sr和Y对Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金组织细化的影响

研究Sr和Y对Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金组织细化的影响结果表明,添加0.01%～0.1%Sr和0.3%Y均可细化Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金晶粒,其中添加Sr较添加Y可使Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金具有更好的细化效果。此外,随Sr加入量从0.01%增至0.1%,试验合金的细化效率逐渐增加。Sr和Y以及不同Sr加入量对Mg-3Al-1Zn合金晶粒的细化效果差异与不同条件下Mg-3Al-1Zn合金的开始结晶温度不同有关。

Microstructure of Mg-8Zn-4Al-1Ca aged alloy

The microstructure of Mg-8Zn-4Al-1Ca aged alloy was investigated by TEM and HRTEM. The results show that the hardening produced in the Mg-8Zn-4Al-1Ca alloy is considerably higher than that in the Mg-8Zn-4A1 alloy. A dense dispersion of disc-like Ca2Mg6Zn3 precipitates are formed in Mg-8Zn-4Al-1Ca alloy aged at 160 ℃ for 16 h. In addition, the lattice distortions, honeycomb-looking Moir＆#233; fringes, edge dislocations and dislocation loop also exist in the microstructure. The precipitates of alloy aged at 160 ℃ for 48 h are coarse disc-like and fine dispersed grainy. When the alloy is subjected to aging at 160 ℃ for 227 h, the microstructure consists of numerous MgZn2 precipitates and Ca2Mg6Zn3 precipitates. All the analyses show that Ca is a particularly effective trace addition in improving the age-hardening and postponing the formation of MgZn2 precipitates in Mg-8Zn-4Al alloy aged at 160 ℃.

Influence of I-phase and W-phase on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-8Li-3Zn alloy

Microstructures and mechanical properties of LZ83?xY alloys containingI-phase andW-phase were investigated by XRD, OM, SEM and EDS. The experimental results show that the content ofI-phase andW-phase changes by varying Zn/Y mass ratio in the LZ83?xY alloys. The cohesion ofI-phase/α-Mg eutectic pockets can enhance the strength in the as-cast LZ83?0.5Y and LZ83?1.0Y alloys, while theW-phase has no obvious strengthening effect on the LZ83?1.5Y alloy. In the extruded alloys, the I-phase andW-phase were extruded into the particles with nanoscale size in theβ-Li matrix phase. The dispersion strengthening of W-phase was more obvious because of the higher volume fraction. The ultimate tensile strength of extruded LZ83?1.5Y alloy is up to 238 MPa while the elongation is up to 20%.
