研究了MgCO3对AZ31镁合金凝固组织的影响。结果表明:随着MgCO3的增加,合金中的β-Mg17Al12相由晶内分布变为晶间分布。在AZ31中添加0.6%的MgCO3,于760℃时保温10min,细化效果最佳。α-Mg晶粒的尺寸由基体合金的570μm降至100μm,降低幅度约为82.5%,抗拉强度提高了57.9%,延伸率约提高了11.1%。通过能谱分析,结合能计算及自由能计算证实,细化机理是MgCO3反应后生成的部分Al4C3质点作为异质核心细化晶粒。多余的Al4C3质点钉扎晶界阻碍晶粒长大。Al元素随固/液界面前沿被快速推至晶界,生成沿晶界生长的β-Mg17Al12相,起到进一步固定晶界的作用。合金元素的分布均有改变。     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy subject to deep cryogenic treatments

AZ91 magnesium alloy was subjected to a deep cryogenic treatment. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electronic microscopy （SEM）, and transmission electronic microscopy （TEM） methods were utilized to characterize the composition and microstructure of the treated samples. The results show that after two cryogenic treatments, the quantity of the precipitate hardening β phase increases, and the sizes of the precipitates are refined from 8-10μm to 2-4μm. This is expected to be due to the decreased solubility of aluminum in the matrix at low temperature and the significant plastic deformation owing to internal differences in thermal contraction between phases and grains. The polycrystalline matrix is also noticeably refined, with the sizes of the subsequent nanocrystalline grains in the range of 50-100 nm. High density dislocations are observed to pile up at the grain boundaries, inducing the dynamic recrystallization of the microstructure, leading to the generation of a nanocrystalline grain structure. After two deep cryogenic treatments, the tensile strength and elongation are found to be substantially increased, rising from 243 MPa and 4.4% of as-cast state to 299 MPa and 5.1%.

An improved neural network model for prediction of mechanical properties of magnesium alloys

An improved neural network model was developed for prediction of mechanical properties in the de-sign and development of new types of magnesium alloys by refining the types of input variables and using a more reasonable algorithm. The results showed that the improved model apparently decreased the prediction errors, and raised the accuracy of the prediction results. Better preprocessing parame-ters were found to be [0.15, 0.90] for the tensile strength, [0.1, 0.9] for the yield strength, and [0.15, 0.90] for the elongation. When the above parameters were used, the relativity for predicition of strength was bigger than 0.95. By using improved ANN analysis, more reasonable process parameters and compo- sition could be obtained in some magnesium alloys without addition of strontoum.

As-extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy fatigue crack propagation behavior

The fatigue crack propagation rate of as-extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy was studied. Compact tension [C(T)] of the notch direction parallel (T-L), vertical (L-T), and inclined at 45o to the extrusion direction was investigated. The experimental results indicate that the crack propagation direction is parallel to the extrusion direction for T-L and L-T specimens, whereas the specimen inclined at 45o has an angular deflection of 9° to 11° toward the extrusion direction. The T-L specimen has the fastest fatigue crack propagation rate, and the L-T specimen has the slowest rate, the fatigue crack propagation rate of the specimen inclined at 45o is between the two directions. The crack tip propagates by both transgranular and intergranular fractures. Fatigue fractures consist of cleavage plane or quasi-cleavage and are brittle fractures. The fatigue striation occurs for specimens inclined at 45o and its size is 3-15 μm.

The AZ31 alloy ingot with diameter of 110 mm and length of 3500 mm was fabricated successfully. The compositions and microstructure morphologies of the ingot at different locations were performed, which indicated that the chemical composition distributed homogeneously through the whole alloy ingot and the average grain size increased from the surface to the center.

Furthermore, slight improvements of the strength and ductility were observed from the center to the surface along the axial direction of the alloy ingot, while both the strength and elongation to failure of the samples along the radial direction are higher than that along the axial direction. The fine grain strengthening was the main contributors to the strength of the as-casted AZ31 alloy.

粗晶粒铸轧AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能

研究了具有较大晶粒尺寸铸轧态AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能。通过热处理获得晶粒尺寸d=27．8μm的板材,对不同试样,在温度分别为300,350,400,450℃恒温条件下,以10^-3s^-1和10^-3s^-1恒定拉伸速率对试样进行拉伸至失效实验。结果表明,粗晶粒AZ31镁合金在450℃和10^-3s^-1条件下达到最大的延伸率106．7％。拉伸试样断口形貌的分析表明,450℃时出现丝状物质是合金出现液态zn的结果。少量的液相可以释放应力集中和协调此时的变形过程。与细晶粒铸轧态AZ31相比,在拉伸条件相同和晶粒尺寸不同的情况下,粗晶粒的塑形较低,其原因是晶界滑移在变形时所作贡献少。
