In the present study, Mg-6Zn-1.2Y-0.8Nd alloy was fabricated, and then extrusion and heat treatment were conducted to optimize its mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. The microstructure observation, mechanical property, degradation behavior and cytocompatibility tests were conducted on the Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy with three different states: as-cast(alloy C), as-extruded(alloy E) and extruded + heat treated(alloy EH).The results show that alloy C consists of coarse grains and continuous secondary phases. The extrusion process has caused incomplete recrystallization, and results in a mixed grain structure of elongated grains and small equiaxed grains(alloy E). The heat treatment process has promoted the recrystallization and homogenized the grain structure(alloy EH). Both the strength and ductility of the alloy has been improved by extrusion, but the following heat treatment has decreased the strength and increased the ductility.The degradation behavior of the alloy C and E alloys does not show much difference, but improves slightly in alloy EH, because the heat treatment has homogenized the microstructure and released the residual stress in the alloy. The directly and indirectly cell viability tests indicate that alloy EH exhibits the best cytocompatibility, which should be ascribed to its relative uniform degradation and low ion releasing rate. In summary, the combination of hot extrusion and heat treatment could optimize the mechanical property and cytocompatibility of the Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy together, which is beneficial for the future application of the alloy.展开更多

Since used in as-cast state, the comprehensive under-standing on its mechanical properties and microstructure evolution is necessary. In the present research, the tensile, creep behavior and microstructure evolution of the as-cast K417G superalloy under differ-ent conditions were investigated. The results exhibit that tensile cracks tend to initiate at MC carbide and γ＇/γ＇ eutectic structure and then propagate along grain boundary. As the temperature for tensile tests increases from 21 ℃ to 700 ℃, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of K417G superalloy decreases slightly, while the elongation to failure decreases greatly because of the intermediate tem- perature embrittlement. When the temperature rises to 900 ℃, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength would decrease significantly. The creep deformation mechanism varies under different test-ing conditions. At 760 ℃/645 MPa, the creep cracks initiate at MC carbides and γ/γ＇ eutectic structures, and propagate transgranularly. While at 900℃/315 MPa and 950℃/235 MPa, the creep cracks initiate at grain boundary and propagate intergranularly. As the creep condition changes from 760 ℃/645 MPa to 900 ℃/315 MPa and 950 ℃/235 MPa, the γ＇ phase starts to raft, which reduces the creep deformation resistance and increases the steady-state deformation rate.展开更多

The results show that M5B3 boride precipitates at the grain boundary. A special orientation relationship between M5B3 phase and the matrix at one side of the grain boundary is found. At the same time, two M5B3 borides with different orientations could co-exist in a single M5B3 particle as an intergrowth besides existing alone, thus forming orientation relationship between the two M5B3 phases and matrix. This phenomenon could be attributed to the special orientation relationship between M5B3 phase and the matrix.展开更多
