摘要
The microstructures of Mg-2Nd-4Zn-1Zr alloy in the as-cast state and after heat treatment were investigated. Several kinds of secondary phases were found and characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. In the as-cast alloy, the existing eutectic compounds are Mg-Nd-Zn ternary phases： T phases and W phases. After the heat treatment, with increasing the temperature or time, it was found that T phase almost dissolved into the α-Mg matrix, while a large amount of W phase remained in the matrix. On the other hand, with prolonging the time, the morphology of the phase changed from continuous network to the spherical shape along the grain boundary. The density of the W phase gradually decreased and finally it was coarsened and stabilized in the treatment process.
对比研究了Mg-2Nd-4Zn-1Zr合金在铸态和热处理态下显微组织结构的演变。借助TEM、SEM和XRD等研究发现,合金中的第二相有几种不同的种类特征。在铸态下,合金中存在的共晶化合物是由Mg、Nd和Zn构成的两种不同类型的三元相:T相和W相。然而,经过热处理,随着时间和温度的变化,T相几乎完全溶解进入α-Mg基体中,但W相仍然大量剩余在基体中。此外,随着热处理时间的延长,沿晶界分布的第二相的形貌由连续分布的网状逐渐转变为球状。在热处理过程中,合金中W相是一种高热力学稳定相,其数量随着热处理的进行而逐渐减少,并最终粗化、稳定地存在于基体中。
