摘要
The influence of Nd addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ80 magnesium alloys was investigated. The results show that the microstructure of as-cast AZS0 magnesium alloy is modified effectively with the addition of 1.0% Nd, the grain size is decreased from 448 to 125 ~tm, new rod-shaped A111Nd3 phase and block-shaped A12Nd phase are observed in the as-cast microstructure, and fl-Mgl7All2 phases are refined and become discontinuous. The addition of Nd suppresses the discontinuous precipitations at grain boundaries during aging, and the time of reaching the peak hardness is delayed. With the addition of 1.0% Nd, the combined properties reach an optimum, the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation are 103.7 MPa, 224.0 MPa and 8.4%, respectively. After T6 heat treatment, the yield strength and tensile strength of the AZ80-1.0%Nd alloy are increased to 141.1 and 231.1 MPa, respectively.
研究添加稀土元素Nd对AZ80镁合金显微组织及力学性能的影响。结果表明:添加1.0%Nd元素可以有效地改善AZ80合金的铸态组织,其晶粒尺寸由448μm细化至125μm,凝固组织中出现条状的Al11Nd3相和块状的Al2Nd相,且β-Mg17Al12相显著细化,由连续网状变为不连续分布。时效过程中Nd元素的添加抑制了晶界处不连续析出相的出现,并推迟合金时效峰值的出现。在AZ80合金中添加1.0%Nd时,合金的综合力学性能最佳,屈服强度、抗拉强度和伸长率分别为103.7MPa、224.0MPa和8.4%。该合金T6态的屈服强度和抗拉强度分别达到141.1和231.1MPa。
