The selected alloys with 3% Sn and Ca in the range of 1%-2% have been extruded in order to achieve more homogeneous microstructure compared with the as-cast alloys. Optical microscopy(OM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) techniques were used to study the microstructure and phases of these alloys. The corrosion behavior of these alloys was investigated by means of salt spray test and potentio-dynamic measurements. The results obtained on the alloys Mg-3Sn (T3), Mg-3Sn-1Ca (TX31), and Mg-3Sn-2Ca (TX32) indicate the presence of the same phases in as-cast and after extrusion, namely Mg2Sn, Ca2-xMgxSn, and Ca2-xMgxSn/Mg2Ca, respectively. However, due to the occurrence of extensive recrystallization in the extrusion process, the grain size has significantly reduced after extrusion. The reduction leads to the improvement of the corrosion resistance after extrusion which is then comparable with the commercial alloy AZ91D.展开更多

The results indicate that, after adding 0.034wt.%, 0.065wt.% or 0.10wt.% Sr to the Mg-3Sn-2Ca alloy, the morphology of the primary CaMgSn phase changes from the initial coarse needle-like net to relatively fi ne short block and/or particle-like shapes. At the same time, the additions of 0.034wt.% or 0.065wt.% Sr suppress the formation of the primary CaMgSn phase, and the addition of 0.10wt.% Sr not only suppresses the formation of the primary and eutectic CaMgSn phases but also promotes the formation of Mg2Ca phase. Furthermore, the addition of minor Sr to the Mg-3Sn-2Ca alloy can improve the tensile properties of the alloy both at room temperature and 150 ℃. The creep property of the Mg-3Sn-2Ca alloy at 150 ℃ is also improved by the additions of 0.034wt.% and 0.065wt.% Sr; however, the addition of 0.10wt.% Sr is not benefi cial to the creep properties of the Mg-3Sn-2Ca alloy.展开更多

The microstructure of as-cast Mg-5Sn-1Ca alloy is composed of α-Mg, Mg2Sn and CaMgSn phases. With the addition of Gd, the formation of the Mg2Sn phase is impeded and the CaMgSn phase is refined, whereas the ultimate tensile strength and elongation decrease. The possible reasons for the variation in microstructure and mechanical properties were discussed.展开更多
