Extraordinary high-strength Mg–1.8Gd–1.8Y–0.7Zn–0.2Zr alloy has successfully been fabricated by an ingot metallurgy process with hot extrusion followed by aging. The sample exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of 542 MPa, proof stress of 473 MPa and elongation to failure of 8.0%. These high strengths are achieved as a result of fine precipitates due to the aging and dynamic precipitation at the grain boundaries of dynamically recrystallized grains. These precipitates also substantially enhance the compressive proof stress, resulting in improvement in the yield anisotropy.

Comparative study of CaO and CaCO<inf>3</inf> on microstructure refinement, mechanical and corrosion resistance of AM60 alloy
2024, Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Grain refinement is a crucial technique for enhancing the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. In this study, the addition of 0.3 wt% CaO and 0.3 wt% CaCO₃ successfully refined the AM60 alloy, resulting in a significant reduction in the average grain size from 326 μm to 96 μm (when adding CaCO₃). The refined grain size of the as-cast AM60 alloy led to an increase in both tensile strength and yield strength to 118.2 MPa and 72.6 MPa, representing a respective increase of 35% and 23% compared to the alloy without the refiner. As results of EBSD, it is verified that the basal slip system $(0001) < 11 \overline{2} 0 >$ has a higher Schmid factor after adding CaO, which indicates that this system has higher activity. The substitution reaction between CaO and Mg can produce synergistic effects from the solute effect of Ca and the nucleating effect of residual CaO, which play an important role in grain refinement. Due to the fine grain size and diffuse distribution of the second phase in the AM60-CaCO₃ alloy and the thermal decomposition of CaCO₃, which consumes the aluminum element in the matrix, the content of the β-phase (Mg₁₇Al₁₂) is reduced. Consequently, this reduces the electric coupling effect between the β-phase and the magnesium matrix. The AM60-CaCO₃ alloy exhibited the most superior corrosion resistance, achieving a corrosion rate of only 1.01 mm y⁻¹, representing a 48.9% reduction in corrosion rate compared to the AM60 alloy.
Phase transformation, texture evolution, and mechanical properties of Mg-9.5Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.3Zr alloy wires fabricated using hot drawing
2024, Materials Science and Engineering: A
Mg-9.5Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.3Zr alloy wires with a diameter of 1.2 mm were fabricated by a multistage drawing process with a cumulative area reduction (CAR) of 96% at 500 °C using as-extruded rods with a diameter of 6 mm as the raw material. Investigated the impact of microstructural transformations on the mechanical performance of these wires, with a focus on phase evolution, texture changes, and grain refinement. In the alloy, second-phase 18R-LPSO, rare-earth-rich (RE-rich) phase, and Zn₂Zr₃ distributed at the grain boundaries along the extrusion direction (ED) or the drawing direction (DD), which were different from the intragranular 14H-LPSO phase, were observed. Significantly, we observed the transformation of blocky 18R-LPSO phases into sub-2μm W-Mg₃Zn₃RE₂ particles during hot drawing. All the as-extruded and as-drawn wires exhibited equiaxed grains with average sizes between 4 μm and 7 μm. The as-extruded wires exhibited a texture with {0001} perpendicular to ED. As the CAR increased, the texture of the wires transformed into a basal texture with {0001} parallel to DD. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile yield strength (TYS), respectively, increased from 369 MPa to 283 MPa for the as-extruded wire to 466 MPa and 436 MPa for the as-drawn wire with CAR increasing to 55%, and then decreased to 328 MPa and 318 MPa for the wire with CAR increasing to 96%. The elongation (EL) reduced from 8.01% to 1.37% with CAR increasing to 96%. As CAR exceeded 55%, the increased volume fraction of the W-Mg₃Zn₃RE₂ phase resulted in a significant decrease in both the strength and the plasticity of the wires. The evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties provides possibility for regulating both the strength and elongation of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy wires by optimizing the drawing process.
Cooperative achievement in grain refinement and texture weakening of Mg-Gd-Y-Sm-Zr alloy fabricated by asymmetric extrusion-shear process
2024, Materials Science and Engineering: A
Mg-Gd-Y-Sm-Zr alloy with fine grains and weak texture was fabricated by extrusion-shear (ES) process. The microstructure evolution mechanism of the alloy during asymmetric plastic deformation process was analyzed. At the forward extrusion stage, the initial coarse grains are refined significantly under the synergistic action of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX), continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), and deformation bands (DBs) induced dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The shear deformation during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) can further refine the residual coarse grains after the previous extrusion, as well as weaken the basal texture of the alloy. The effect of extrusion ratio (λ = 9, 16, 25, 36) on the alloy after ES forming was studied. When λ is 25, the component has superior mechanical properties with yield tensile strength (YTS) of 216 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 303 MPa and elongation of 25.47%. The improvement of YTS after ES forming is mainly attributed to the grain boundary strengthening, while the excellent elongation is benefited from the weak bimodal texture. Abnormal grain growth will occur when λ is 36, leading to a decrease in the strength and plasticity of the alloy.
Development of Mg–6Al–4Sn–1Zn alloy sheets with ultra-high strength by combining extrusion and high-speed rolling
2024, Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Achievement of ultra-high yield strength of above 400 MPa for rare-earth-free magnesium (Mg) alloys is quite difficult via traditional thermal-mechanical processing. In this study, Mg–6Al–4Sn–1Zn alloy (ATZ641) sheet with the yield strength of 410 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 442 MPa, and elongation of 5.1 %, was fabricated by combining extrusion and high-speed rolling (HSR). The results showed significant refinement in the grains of high-speed rolled ATZ641 alloy due to dynamic recrystallization (DRX) effectively promoted by particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) of pre-existing relatively coarse Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates uniformly distributed along grain boundaries, formed during extrusion prior to HSR. Meanwhile, the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ nano-precipitates with high number density, mainly due to dynamic precipitation during HSR and submicron Mg₂Sn precipitates formed during both extrusion and HSR, suppress DRX and thus promote the formation of a certain amount of subgrains via particle pinning. The excellent mechanical properties are mainly attributed to fine-grain strengthening, high density residual dislocations and presence of numerous hybrid particles such as bimodal size (micron and nanometer) Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates and submicron Mg₂Sn precipitates as well as a large amount of subgrains. This study offers an important notion for developing rare-earth-free Mg alloys with ultra-high strength.
Mitigating space radiation using magnesium(-lithium) and boron carbide composites
2024, Acta Astronautica
The health effects of galactic cosmic radiation are a serious impediment to crewed exploration of the solar system. OLTARIS, an interface for the 3DHZETRN deterministic radiation transport code, was used to assess the response of aerospace materials to this constant radiation exposure. Traditional aerospace structural materials like aluminum can, after a certain mass, increase the health effects of such radiation. However, materials with lower atomic mass may mitigate this build-up in secondary radiation with increasing areal density. As such, lower atomic mass structural alloys of magnesium and magnesium–lithium are promising candidates. These alloys may reduce the mass of structures when substituted for aluminum alloys. Reinforcement with boron carbide could further reduce atomic mass while also improving the mechanical properties of such lightweight alloys. This study found that the lower atomic mass of these materials increased nuclear fragmentation upon cosmic radiation interactions, leading to a softening of the secondary (neutron) radiation spectra. This softened spectra reduced the effective dose equivalent, a measure of health effects, for magnesium(-lithium) alloys and their boron carbide-reinforced composites when compared to aluminum.
Influence of bimodal microstructure on strength and ductility of as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy
2024, Journal of Alloys and Compounds
This paper studied the role of layered bimodal structure in the strength-ductility balance of Mg-8Gd-4Y-0.4Zr (wt%) alloys under as-extruded conditions. The various bimodal microstructure, consisting of fine dynamically recrystallized grains and elongated un-dynamically recrystallized grains along extrusion direction, were controlled by different extrusion ratios. The mechanical properties were then discussed in detail. The local strain evolution was investigated in the alloys based on in situ testing and analyzed with electron backscattered diffraction and digital image correlation. The fracture behavior of the alloys was characterized by 3-Dimensional X-Ray Microscopy. The alloys with an extrusion ratio of 7.5 exhibited high tensile yield strength of 338 MPa and ductility of 13.2%, resulting from grain boundary strengthening of fine DRXed grains, and dislocation strengthening of elongated un-DRXed grains and Mg₅RE particles. The strain evolution analysis showed that the slips and rotations of DRXed grains contributed to relieving strain localization at the interface. Additionally, the layered structure assisted local strain dispersion and uniformed strain distribution, improving the strength and ductility of alloys. The microcracks primarily nucleated and propagated at the un-DRXed regions. The DRXed regions can refine microcracks and enhance deformation compatibility.
