Semi-solid Rheo-Diecast Mg-xGd-3Y–1Zn-0.4Zr (wt%) Alloys and Their Comparison with Conventional HPDC Alloys
Journal of Alloys and Compounds(2024)
摘要
This work systematically investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-xGd-3Y–1Zn-0.4Zr (wt%) alloys prepared via rheo-diecasting (RDC) in comparison to those of conventional high pressure die casting (HPDC) alloys, and revealed their differences in microstructure, casting defects, and mechanical properties. The microstructure of the as-cast RDC Mg-xGd-3Y–1Zn-0.4Zr (wt%) alloys is primarily composed of α-Mg and Mg3(Gd,Y,Zn) eutectic phases. Of the four alloys studied, the GWZ831K and GWZ1431K alloys exhibit the best elongation (EL: 6.4±1.3 %) and the highest strengths (UTS: 270±9 MPa; YS: 201±5.7 MPa), respectively. The GWZ831K alloy exhibits a quasi-cleavage fracture during room-temperature tensile tests, whereas the GWZ1431K alloy demonstrates a brittle fracture. The phase composition of conventional HPDC alloys is fundamentally the same as that of RDC alloys, but their grains and eutectic phases differ in morphology and are smaller in size. Oxide films are frequently found in conventional HPDC castings, but neither oxide films nor pore defects are observed in RDC alloys. Compared to conventional HPDC alloys, RDC alloys have better elongation but lower strength. The lower strength of RDC alloys compared to HPDC alloys can be attributed to larger grains and eutectic phases, along with fewer stacking faults (SFs), resulting in limited strengthening effects of grain boundaries, eutectic second phases and SFs. In contrast, RDC alloys exhibit superior elongation compared to HPDC alloys due to the elimination of oxide films and pore defects, as well as the excellent ductility of the α-Mg matrix that can effectively coordinate deformation.
