The experimental results show that enthalpies of formation, excess free- energy and excess entropies of the ternary alloy are negative in the whole content range, the minimum values at 1 123 K are all obtained at x_Al=55%, x_y=45%, X_Mg=0%, which are -37.969, -30.961 kJ/mol and -6.24 J/(mol-k) respectively. Activity curves show that the activity values of A1 and Y in Mg-A1-Y ternary alloy rapidly decrease with the decrease of molar fraction, the values of which are very small when the molar fraction decreases to 0.4. It means that there is a strong interaction between A1 and Y and stable compounds can be form in the Mg-A1-Y ternary alloy system.展开更多
The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg-7.68Gd-4.88Y-1.32Nd-0.63A1-0.05Zr magnesium alloy were investigated both in the as-cast condition and after homogenization heat treatment from 535 to 555 ℃ in t...The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg-7.68Gd-4.88Y-1.32Nd-0.63A1-0.05Zr magnesium alloy were investigated both in the as-cast condition and after homogenization heat treatment from 535 to 555 ℃ in the time range 0-48 h by op- tical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and hardness measurement. The as-cast alloy consisted of ct-Mg matrix, Mgs(Y0.5Gd0.5) phase which is a eutectic phase, strip of Al2(Y0.6Gd0.4) phase, little A13Zr and Mg(Y3Gd) phase. With the increasing of homogenization temperature and time, the Mgs(Y0.5Gd0.5) phase was completely dissolved into the matrix. The Al2(Y0.6Gd0.4) phase was almost not dissolved which impeded grain boundaries motion making the grain size almost not changed in the process of ho- mogenization. The optimum homogenization condition was 545 ℃/16 h. The tensile strength increased, yield strength decreased and the plasticity improved obviously after 545 ℃/16 h homogenization treatment.展开更多
