Microstructure and Corrosion Behavior of the As-Extruded Mg-4Zn-2Gd-0.5Ca Alloy

In order to study the corrosion resistance of extruded magnesium alloys,the Mg-4 Zn-2 Gd-0.5 Ca alloy was extruded at the speed of 0.01-0.1 mm/s with the temperature of 280-360℃in present study.Hot extrusion results show that the volume fraction of precipitates(V_(pre)),V_(DRX)(the dynamic recrystallization rate) and the average size of DRXed grain(d_(DRX)) decrease with the decrease in extrusion speed,and the corrosion rate of the alloy also shows a downward trend.On the contrary,the values of V_(pre),V_(DRX) and d_(DRX) increase with the increase in extrusion temperature,and the corrosion resistance of Mg-4 Zn-2 Gd-0.5 Ca alloy decreases.When the extrusion speed is 0.01 mm/s and the extrusion temperature is 280℃,the alloy has the best corrosion resistance.The corrosion of extruded Mg-4 Zn-2 Gd-0.5 Ca alloy occurs preferentially on the magnesium matrix around W and I phases in the DRXed zone.With the further corrosion,the corrosion continues to spread along the phase,and the corrosion area gradually increases.Galvanic corrosion plays a leading role in the corrosion process.Moreover,there are a large number of basal plane textures in the unDRXed region,which is conducive to improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.In addition,the decrease in grain size also makes the corrosion of magnesium alloy more uniform.

Enhancement of mechanical properties of duplex Mg-9Li-3Al alloy by Sn and Y addition

For enhancement of mechanical properties in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys, Mg-9Li-3Al duplex alloys were alloyed by addition of Sn and Y. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property response of as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al alloys by alloying with Sn and Y were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and tensile tests. The results indicate that considerable blocky dendrites of primary α phase in Mg-9Li-3Al alloys become lath-like due to the addition of Sn. With addition of Y, Mg-9Li-3Al alloy consists of both block-like and lath-like α-Mg dendrites. The as-cast Mg-9Li-3Al-1Sn-1Y alloy shows a yield strength of 118 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 148 MPa and the elongation to failure of 21%. Improvement in both strength and elongation of Mg-9Li-3Al alloys with Sn and Y addition is attributed to the combined action of MgLi₂Sn and Al₂Y intermetallic compounds.

Mg–Zn–Ag alloys have been extensively studied in recent years for potential biodegradable implants due to their unique mechanical properties,biodegradability and biocompatibility.In the present study,Mg–3Zn-x Ag(wt%,x=0.2,0.5 and0.8)alloys with single-phase crystal structure were prepared by backward extrusion at 340°C.The addition of Ag element into Mg–3Zn slightly influences the ultimate tensile strength and microstructure,but the elongation firstly increases from12%to 19.8%and then decreases from 19.8%to 9.9%with the increment of Ag concentration.The tensile yield strength,ultimate tensile strength and elongation of Mg–3Zn–0.2Ag alloy reach up to 142,234 MPa and 19.8%,respectively,which are the best mechanical performance of Mg–Zn–Ag alloys in the present work.The extruded Mg–3Zn–0.2Ag alloy also possesses the best corrosion behavior with the corresponding corrosion rate of 3.2 mm/year in immersion test,which could be explained by the single-phase and uniformly distributed grain structure,and the fewer twinning.

Microstructure and corrosion behavior of Mg-Sn-Ca alloys after extrusion

Mg-Sn-Ca alloys promise a reasonable corrosion resistance in combination with good creep resistance, likely due to the presence of Ca2-xMgxSn and other phases. 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.     

Ca、Mn元素对Mg-Zn系合金在磷酸盐缓冲液中腐蚀行为的影响

采用XRD、SEM、EDS、三维轮廓仪和失重法等手段研究了Mg-6Zn、Mg-6Zn-1Ca和Mg-6Zn-1Mn合金在磷酸盐缓冲盐溶液(PBS)中的腐蚀行为,并探讨了3种合金的腐蚀机理。结果表明,添加相同含量的Ca和Mn均能使合金的失重率(W_r)降低,但添加Mn元素后(浸泡10d时W_r=3.91%)比添加Ca元素后(W_r=6.78%)合金的失重率更低,说明Mn元素更有抗PBS腐蚀能力,这与Mn的加入在合金表面形成致密的氧化膜有关;同时,Mg-6Zn-1Mn合金在浸泡过程中表面存在点蚀现象,经分析是由第二相与基体构成原电池导致。在420℃不同保温时间(2～20 h)固溶处理后,合金表面的点腐蚀现象随着保温时间的增加而减弱,表明长时间的固溶处理可以减少第二相与镁基体之间的微电偶腐蚀,增加了合金均匀腐蚀的倾向。

The effects of heat treatment and zirconium on the corrosion behaviour of Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr (wt.%) alloy

The corrosion behaviours of Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn (wt.%) (NZ) and Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr (wt.%) (NZK) alloys were investigated in as-cast (F), solution-treated (T4) and artificially-aged (T6) conditions in 5% NaCl solution using immersion test and electrochemical measurements. The immersion test indicates that both NZ and NZK alloys exhibit better corrosion resistances in T4 and T6 states than in the F condition due to the galvanic corrosion between the cathodic Mg₁₂Nd compound and the anodic α matrix in the F condition. The NZK alloy demonstrates lower corrosion rates than the NZ alloy in three conditions, which indicates that the addition of zirconium has a beneficial effect on the corrosion resistance. It was discovered by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) that the corrosion products of NZK-T6 formed in salt solution are composed of sandwich shape compounds, while that of NZ-T6 is composed of fine needle-like compounds and small particles. The former are more uniform and compact than the latter and can play a more protective role for the alloy. Electrochemical measurements also confirmed that the more protective film formed on the NZK than on the NZ alloy.

Effect of Solution Treatment on Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of Mg–4Gd–1Y–1Zn–0.5Ca–1Zr Alloy

The as-cast multi-element Mg–4Gd–1Y–1Zn–0.5Ca–1Zr alloy with low rare earth additions was prepared, and the solution treatment was applied at different temperatures. The microstructural evolution of the alloy was characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and corrosion properties of the alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution were evaluated by immersion and electrochemical tests. The results indicate that the as-cast alloy is composed of the a-Mg matrix,lamellar long-period stacking-ordered(LPSO) structure and eutectic phase. The LPSO structure exists with more volume fraction in the alloy solution-treated at 440 °C, but disappears with the increase in the solution temperature. For all the solution-treated alloys, the precipitated phases are detected. The corrosion rates of the alloys decrease first and then increase slightly with the increase in the solution temperature, and the corrosion resistance of the solution-treated alloys is more than four times as good as that of the as-cast alloy. In addition, the alloy solution-treated at 480 °C for 6 h shows the best corrosion property.

3D Fe-Rich Phases Evolution and Its Effects on the Fracture Behavior of Al-7.0Si-1.2Fe Alloys by Mn Neutralization

The evolution of the 3D Fe-rich phases of Al-7.0Si-1.2Fe alloys with different Mn contents was visualized and characterized using synchrotron X-ray computed tomography, and the effect of Fe-rich phases with typical morphologies on the fracture behavior during tensile testing was analyzed. The results showed that the Fe-rich phase changed from platelet-like β-Al₅FeSi into α-Al₁₅(FeMn)₃Si₂ with various morphologies after the addition of Mn. The Mn addition not only significantly reduced the volume fraction, equivalent diameter and interconnectivity of the Fe-rich phase but also greatly increased the sphericity, surface thickness, and distribution of the mean curvature and surface thickness. Furthermore, the equivalent diameter of α-Al₁₅(FeMn)₃Si₂ had an inverse exponential function relationship with its sphericity. The 3D morphology of α-Al₁₅(FeMn)₃Si₂ can be summarized as massive and regular polyhedrons, hollow and regular polyhedrons, and multibranched polyhedrons. The fraction of the different 3D morphologies in each alloy is related to the Mn content, where excess Mn increased the number and volume fraction of the large Fe-rich particles with a low sphericity. The ductility of each alloy was significantly improved by the addition of Mn but gradually decreased when the Mn/Fe ratio exceeded 1.2. The increase in large α-Al₁₅(MnFe)₃Si₂ with a low sphericity was the main reason for the decreased ductility of alloys with a high Mn content.
