The experimental results indicate that adding 0.5wt%TiC to ZA84 alloy can refine the as-cast microstructure, and do not cause the formation of any new phase. After 0.5wt%TiC was added to the ZA84 alloy, the morphology of ternary phases on the grain boundaries changed from coarse quasi-continuous net to fine disconnected net, and the distribution of ternary phases became dispersive and homogeneous. At the same time, the tensile properties of ZA84＋0.5TiC alloy at room temperature were comparable to those of AZ91D alloy, and were higher than those of ZA84 alloy. At 150 ℃, the tensile and creep properties of ZA84＋0.5TiC alloy were also higher than those of ZA84 and AZ91D alloys. In addition, compared with the AZ91D alloy, the casting fluidity of ZA84＋0.5TiC alloy was slightly poor, but better than that of ZA84 alloy. The reason could be related to the effect of TiC on the solidification temperature range of ZA84 alloy.展开更多

Transmission electron microscopic（TEM） observation shows that Mg/C composites prepared with the addition of Mo are of nanoscale with particle size about 20-120 nm after 3 h of milling under 1 MPaH2. MgH2 of tetrahedral crystal structure predominates in the materials with the geometric shape of oblique hexagonal prism. From X-ray diffraction（XRD） and hydrogen content studies, Mo and crystallitic carbon have a synergistic effect on promoting the hydrogenation rate in the reactive milling process. From differential scanning calorimetric（DSC） studies, the dehydrogenation peak temperature of the Mg/C materials with Mo is lowered to 299-340 ℃.展开更多
