The result shows that the microstructure of as-cast WE93 alloy consists of α-Mg, Mg 12 （MM） and Mg 24 Y 5 with an average grain size of 45 μm. After being homogenized at 535 ℃for 18 h, the Mg 24 Y 5 phase is dissolved completely and there is only Mg 12 （MM） phase left around the grain boundaries. The grains do not grow up as prolonging the homogenization time. The extruded alloy has better mechanical properties than the as-cast alloy, especially the elongation increases to 12.5%. The extruded and aged alloy exhibits the highest yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of 315 and 385 MPa, respectively, however, the elongation decreases to 6.5%. The extruded and aged alloy exhibits good creep resistance at 200 ℃and at stress of 100 150 MPa. The creep stress exponent n is 2.97, suggesting that grain boundary sliding plays a dominant role at the corresponding temperature and applied stresses.展开更多

The microstructure of AZ91D and alloying AZ91D is different. Except dominant primary α（Mg） and β-Mg 17Al 12 in AZ91D, a new phase Al 11MM3 is observed in alloyed AZ91D. Increasing Ce-rich MM, primary α grains can be refined, the content and grain size of β obviously decrease, furthermore, its morphology degrades from discontinuous network to separated particles, and Al 11MM3 amount substantially increases and acicular Al 11MM3 aggregates into clusters at grain boundaries. In EMS process, α morphology evolves from rosette to sphere, and then spherical-like with the decrease of isothermal stirring temperature. Moreover, Al 11MM3 mainly distributes inside primary grains and eutecticum in form of short-rod. EMS can alter not only the primary morphology but Al 11MM3.展开更多
