以改善冷轧Mg-Li系合金的变形能力为目的,系统研究了冷轧变形后的Mg-9Li-1Zn合金的退火热处理工艺,分析了退火温度和退火时间对合金组织和性能的影响.研究结果表明：Mg-9Li-1Zn合金适宜的退火温度为280~300℃,退火温度过高会出现晶粒长大,表面脱锂等现象.300℃退火60 min后,合金的维氏硬度值为426.7 MPa,充分完成再结晶软化的合金在后续冷轧时总变形率可达70%.合金的退火时间以保证α相的充分球化及组织的均匀化为准则,实验中确定的最佳退火制度为300℃保温60 min.

冷轧变形量对Mg-9Li-1Zn合金组织和性能的影响

采用显微组织观察、室温拉伸、硬度测试研究了冷轧变形量对Mg-9Li-1Zn合金在不同加工状态下显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明:铸态Mg-9Li-1Zn合金组织为α-Mg和β-Li的两相混合组织。随着冷轧变形量的增加,合金中α-Mg相和β-Li相逐渐被拉长,两相取向性越来越明显。在变形量80%的合金中,α-Mg相和β-Li相的组织明显细化,呈细条状分布。随着冷轧变形量的增加,合金的抗拉强度、硬度逐渐升高,伸长率逐渐降低。变形量80%的合金抗拉强度达到197MPa,硬度达到74.3HV,但伸长率降到9.0%。合金冷轧后200℃×1 h退火处理,合金的塑性明显改善,80%变形量轧制合金退火后伸长率达到24.1%。

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.

Effect of Ca addition on grain refinement of Mg–9Li–1Al alloy

The as-cast and as-extruded Mg–9Li–1Al–xCa alloys(x=0,0.2;wt%)were prepared by a simple alloying process followed by hot extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 28.2.The microstructures of the as-cast and as-extruded Mg–9Li–1Al–xCa alloys were observed to investigate the effect of calcium(Ca)element on the Mg–9Li–1Al(LA91)alloy,and the crystallographic calculations between Al_(2)Ca and the matrix(α-Mg andβ-Li phases)were examined on the basis of the edge-to-edge matching model.The experimental results indicate that the addition of 0.2 wt%Ca into LA91 alloy reduce the size of theα-Mg phases in the as-cast alloy and that ofβ-Li phases in the as-extruded alloy due to the Al_(2)Ca particles distributed inside the matrix.Crystallographic calculation results suggested that there is a good crystallographic matching between the matrix and Al_(2)Ca,which confirmed that Al_(2)Ca particles can act as a heterogeneous nucleation site for bothα-Mg andβ-Li phases and were effective grain refiners for LA91 alloy.

稀土微合金化对Mg-9Li-1Zn合金组织性能的影响

通过复合添加0.2%的Y+0.1%的Nd+0.05%的Gd(质量分数,下同)制备了轻质高强Mg-9Li-1Zn-RE合金(LZ91-RE),随后对其进行锻造和冷轧。采用OM、SEM、EDS、XRD、TEM对锻造态和冷轧态LZ91合金和LZ91-RE合金进行组织及物相分析,同时利用拉伸试验机进行力学性能测试。结果表明,LZ91合金组织由α-Mg和β-Li两相组成,添加多元稀土元素后LZ91合金中α相体积分数减少了26.5%,晶粒得到显著细化,同时原位析出了富Y、富Nd、Mg_(12)Nd及Mg_(3)RE稀土强化相,但存在局部偏聚现象;LZ91-RE合金经过大应变冷轧变形,稀土强化相被破碎细化且分布更加均匀。此外,与LZ91合金相比,锻造态的LZ91-RE合金抗拉强度比LZ91合金提高了13.9%。冷轧态的LZ91-RE合金的抗拉强度比LZ91合金提高了19%,而伸长率只下降了4.4%。

热挤压对不同搅拌时间制备的纳米SiCp/Mg-9Al-1Zn复合材料组织和性能的影响（英文）

通过半固态搅拌铸造和热挤压变形复合工艺制备出SiCp质量分数为1%的纳米SiCp/Mg-9Al-1Zn镁基复合材料。研究了搅拌时间分别为10和30 min时热挤压对纳米SiCp/Mg-9Al-1Zn镁基复合材料的显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,对于铸态的纳米SiCp/Mg-9Al-1Zn镁基复合材料来说,搅拌时间为30 min时,基体的晶粒细化,但在晶界处析出的Mg_(17)Al_(12)相数量增多,网状化严重且SiC团聚增加,使得复合材料的力学性能下降。而通过热挤压后,复合材料形成了粗晶与细晶交替的组织结构。特别是对于搅拌时间为30 min的复合材料,细晶区增多且纳米SiC颗粒分布更加均匀,这就使得力学性能高于搅拌10 min的挤压态的SiCp/Mg-9Al-1Zn复合材料。
