The microstructure, thermal stability of intermetallic phases and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that the alloy is composed of fine primary a-Mg dendrites and eutectic in the interdendritic regions. The intermetallic phases in eutectic are Aln(Ce,Y)3 and A12(Ce,Y) with the former being the dominant one. The thermal stability of Al11(ce,Y)3 is conditioned. It is basically stable at temperature up to 200℃ within 800 h, while most of the Al11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics transform to A12(Ce,Y) at higher temperature of 450 ℃ for 800 h. The alloy exhibits remarkably improved strength both at room temperature and 200℃, which is mainly attributed to the reinforcement of dendrite boundaries with Alll(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics, small dendritic arm spacing effect as well as the solid solution strengthening with Y element.展开更多

Samples from consolidated alloys were analyzed by XRD for the determination of lattice parameters. Using these lattice parameters, the mechanical properties of the alloys were calculated theoretically with WIEN2k and EMTO programs, respectively. The elasticity moduli of the experimentally produced alloys were compared with the theoretical calculation results. The calculated mechanical properties of A13Sc phase and A1-Sc alloys were discussed to determine the optimum Sc content of Al-Sc alloys. It may be concluded that the Sc content should be the maximum about 1.0%, much more Sc addition could not improve the mechanical properties of the alloys.展开更多

The formation of alloy phases during the CS process was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). When the time increases from 0, 0.5, 1.0 to 2.0 h at 733 K, the products are Mg and A1; Mg2A13, Mg and A1; Mgl7All2, Mg2A13; and Mg; and eventually only MgI7A112, respectively. Combined with three peaks in the DSC traces, it is concluded that the formation of MglyAll2 during the CS includes three processes, namely, the formation of MgzA13 first; then the unsaturated solid solution, MglvAla2; and finally the complete MglvA112 alloy. The formation of MgzA13 prior to MglvA112 in this work is different from those prepared by mechanical alloying. This is thought to be related to the instant high temperature during the ther- mal explosion of CS.展开更多
