Electrical conductivity is the main factor that affects the electromagnetic shielding properties and the variation tendency of electromagnetic shielding properties of the Mg-x Zn-y Y alloys is consistent with conductivity. Valence of Y and Zn atoms, configuration of extranuclear electron and volumetric difference are main reasons for the variations in the electrical conductivity. A high density of second phase and the formation of semi-continuous network structure can also improve the SE value at high frequencies.展开更多

Results indicated that more Mg;Y;particles and Mg;Nd;Y（β） phases were dispersed in the matrix when Nd content increased from 0 wt% to 2.63 wt% in the extruded alloys.Consequently, the nucleation of dynamic recrystallization and the volume fraction of recrystallized grains were promoted obviously. The average grain size can be refined in the range of 4.6–1.3 μm after the addition of 2.63 wt% Nd. The tensile strength of extruded alloys increased with increasing Nd content, and elongation exhibited an opposite change tendency. The extruded alloy sheet with 1.01 wt% Nd demonstrates optimal combination of strength and plasticity, i.e., the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength,and elongation were 273 MPa, 214 MPa, and 24.2%, respectively. Variations in mechanical properties are discussed on the basis of microstructure observations.展开更多

Although the commonly used reinforcements in MMCs are ceramic particles,they often provide improved yield and ultimate stresses by a significant loss in ductility. Therefore, hard metallic phases were introduced as alternative candidates for the manufacturing of MMCs, especially titanium(Ti). It has a high melting point, high Young’s modulus, high plasticity, low level of mutual solubility with Mg matrix, and closer thermal expansion coefficient to that of Mg metal than that of ceramic particles. It is highly preferable to provide both high ultimate stress and ductility in Mg matrix. However, many critical challenges for the fabrication of Ti-reinforced MMCs remain, such as Ti’s homogeneity, low recovery rate, and the optimization of interfacial bonding strength between Mg and Ti, etc. Meanwhile, different fabrication methods have various effects on the microstructures, mechanical properties, and the interfacial strength of Ti-reinforced MMCs. Hence, this review placed emphasis on the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of Ti-reinforced MMCs fabricated by different techniques. The influencing factors that govern the strengthening mechanisms were systematically compared and discussed. Future research trends, key issues, and prospects were also proposed to develop Ti-reinforced MMCs.展开更多

文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys with biodegradability and excellent mechanical properties are in high demand for applications in guided bone regeneration(GBR).However,the clinical application of Mg alloys is hindered by infection risks and limited osteogenesis.Herein,a structure-functional integrated Mg-Ca/Mg-Cu bilayer membrane was rolled at 150℃through various single-pass reductions by using online heating rolling.The Mg-Cu layer was specifically engineered to exhibit antibacterial properties tailored for gingival tissue,while the Mg-Ca layer was designed to support bone regeneration within the defect cavity.The bilayer membrane demonstrated a flexural yield strength of 421.0 MPa and a modulus of 58.6 GPa,indicating exceptional deformation resistance.Furthermore,it maintained notable structural stability by retaining 86.4%of its volume after 21 days in Hanks'solution.In vitro results revealed that the bilayer membrane exhibited favorable biocompatibility and promoted osteogenesis via the synergetic effect of released Mg^(2+)and Ca^(2+)ions.The rapid release of Cu^(2+)ions and the creation of an alkaline environment further improved antibacterial properties,potentially preventing postoperative infections.Additionally,in an in vivo rat calvarial defect model,the membrane demonstrated its capability to stimulate new bone formation.In summary,the Mg-Ca/Mg-Cu bilayer membrane exhibited outstanding mechanical stability,favorable corrosion rates,extraordinary osteogenic and antibacterial activity simultaneously.Consequently,it holds promise as a robust barrier membrane in GBR applications.

文摘In this study,microstructure and mechanical behavior of Mg/Al composite plates with Ti foil interlayer were systematically studied,with a great emphasis on the effect of different thicknesses of Ti foil interlayer.The results show that compared to 100μm thick Ti foil,10μm thick Ti foil is more prone to fracture and is evenly distributed in fragments at the interface.The introduction of Ti foil can effectively refine the grain size of Mg layers of as-rolled Mg/Al composite plates,10μm thick Ti foil has a better refining effect than 100μm thick Ti foil.Ti foil can effectively increase the yield strength(YS)and ultimate strength(UTS)of as-rolled Mg/Al composite plates,10μm thick Ti foil significantly improves the elongation(El)of Mg/Al composite plate,while 100μm thick Ti foil slightly weakens the El.After annealing at 420℃ for 0.5 h and 4 h,Ti foil can inhibit the formation of intermetallic compounds(IMCs)at the interface of Mg/Al composite plates,which effectively improves the YS,UTS and El of Mg/Al composite plates.In addition,Ti foil can also significantly enhance the interfacial shear strength(SS)of Mg/Al composite plates before and after annealing.

文摘In the field of particle reinforced magnesium(Mg)matrix composites(MMCs),the interfacial microstructures between reinforcements and Mg matrix are a subject of interest for most researchers.In this work,the 2 wt.%Ti particle reinforced Mg-6Zn alloy composites with different contents(0,0.5,1,1.5,2 wt.%)of Mn were prepared using semi-solid stirring assisted ultrasonic treatment followed by hot extrusion.With the increment of Mn element,the characteristics of mixed-grain structure became obvious and the DRX was inhibited.Meanwhile,the interfacial product gradually changed from MgZn_(2)to Mn_(2)Ti.The tensile test demonstrated that the 2Ti/Mg-6Zn-1.5Mn composite exhibited an excellent strength-ductility synergy,achieving the highest yield stress(YS),ultimate tensile stress(UTS)of 239 MPa,366 MPa,respectively,along with a notable elongation(El.)of 20.6%.The increased strength is mainly due to the grain refinement,the precipitation strengthening,the HDI strengthening and the strong interfacial bonding including the tightly Ti/Mn_(2)Ti bonding and the Mn_(2)Ti/Mg coherent orientation relationship.The ideal El.is the result of fine/coarse bimodal structure and the proper interfacial reaction,which can reduce the occurrence of cracks.

文摘Interface segregation of solute atoms has a profound effect on properties of engineering alloys.In this study,we report a novel strategy for breaking the strength-ductility dilemma of Mg alloy via solute segregation.The hot extruded Mg-1.8Gd-0.3Zr(wt.%)alloy sheet was subjected to three different passes of rolling,and then heat-treated at 200℃.The high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM)reveals a remarkable segregation of solute Gd atoms along high and low-angel grain boundaries(GBs).Under almost precipitation-free conditions,the strength and ductility of rolled alloy sheets are simultaneously improved after annealing.Especially for the annealed 3-passes-rolled specimen,the yield strength,ultimate tensile strength,and elongation are simultaneously increased by 11.2%,7.3%,and 18%,respectively.The solute segregation endows the rolled plate with excellent grain size stability and provides a prominent extra solute cluster strengthening,which completely resists the other softening effects,including dislocation annihilation and grain coarsening during the heating.Meanwhile,the directional migration of Gd atoms and the annihilation of dislocations provide a“clear”space within the grain,which is beneficial for the moving and accumulating of subsequent dislocations.This work sheds light on the solute partitioning behavior and realizes a good application of GB segregation in improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of Mg alloys.

文摘The effect of alloying elements on the properties of magnesium(Mg)matrix composites is significant.The distribution of alloy elements between the matrix and the reinforcements plays a pivotal role in the element selection and compositional design of Mg-based metal matrix composite.This work used thermodynamics to study the equilibrium distribution coefficients of the 40 elements X(Be,Ca,Zn,Sn,REs,etc.)in the Mg-Ti and Mg-Zr systems at 573 K,773 K and 973 K.In addition,the binary solution enthalpies were evaluated using the Miedema model to predict the bonding tendency of the element X with Mg,Ti and Zr.These research outputs provide valuable data and theoretical reference for Mg-alloy design and optimization.

文摘A novel Mg_(98.5)Zn_(0.5)Y alloy sheet with ultrafine grains and exceptional electromagnetic shielding performance has been fabricated using friction stir processing(FSP).This study investigates the impact of FSP on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding effectiveness(SE)of the alloy,specifically across three distinct layers within the stir zone(SZ):Top,Middle,and Bottom.The results reveal that the Mg_(12)YZn long-period stacking ordered(LPSO)phase is the predominant structure,undergoing significant grain refinement.The grain size is drastically reduced from 1.5 mm in the as-cast state to 12.6μm,10.0μm,and 7.1μm in the Top,Middle,and Bottom,respectively.This grain refinement and fragmentation of the LPSO phase into nanoscale particles result in a substantial enhancement of mechanical properties.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS)reached 358.2 MPa with an elongation(EL)of 15.1%,reflecting a 344% increase in strength and a 733% improvement in ductility compared to the as-cast material.Simultaneously,the EMI SE was maintained between 70 and 110.4 dB over a broad frequency range(30-4500 MHz).Despite the nanoscale LPSO particles contributing minimally to EMI shielding,the lamellar LPSO structure demonstrated excellent performance through multiple electromagnetic wave reflections within the matrix.These findings underscore the dual benefits of FSP in improving both mechanical strength and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness,positioning this Mg_(98.5)Zn_(0.5)Y alloy for advanced applications in the electronics and telecommunications sectors.

文摘Magnesium matrix composites(MMCs)combine exceptional low density,high specific strength,and stiffness,positioning them as critical materials for aerospace,automotive,and electronics industries.This review highlights recent progress in the fabrication of Ti-Mg composites and analyzes the mechanisms behind their enhanced mechanical properties.A key focus is the interfacial deformation incompatibility between Ti and Mg phases,which generates strain gradients and promotes the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)at the interface.This process not only improves strain hardening and ductility but also reveals the need for advanced micromechanical models to capture the plastic behavior of both phases.The review critically examines the impact of different Mg matrix types(AZ,AM,VW series)and the role of interfacial product morphology and size on bonding and overall performance.Furthermore,Ti reinforcement endows the composites with superior wear resistance and thermal conductivity,indicating broad application potential.

文摘Microstructure, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding effectiveness(SE) of cast Mg-x Zn-y Y(x = 2–5, y = 1–10) alloys were systematically investigated to understand the effects of Zn and Y additions on electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the alloys.Experimental results indicate that the electrical conductivity and SE of the Mg-x Zn-y Y alloys decrease with Y/Zn ratio. Electrical conductivity is the main factor that affects the electromagnetic shielding properties and the variation tendency of electromagnetic shielding properties of the Mg-x Zn-y Y alloys is consistent with conductivity. Valence of Y and Zn atoms, configuration of extranuclear electron and volumetric difference are main reasons for the variations in the electrical conductivity. A high density of second phase and the formation of semi-continuous network structure can also improve the SE value at high frequencies.

文摘The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Y-Zr-x Nd alloys with 0–2.63 wt% Nd were investigated using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile testing test. Results indicated that more Mg;Y;particles and Mg;Nd;Y（β） phases were dispersed in the matrix when Nd content increased from 0 wt% to 2.63 wt% in the extruded alloys.Consequently, the nucleation of dynamic recrystallization and the volume fraction of recrystallized grains were promoted obviously. The average grain size can be refined in the range of 4.6–1.3 μm after the addition of 2.63 wt% Nd. The tensile strength of extruded alloys increased with increasing Nd content, and elongation exhibited an opposite change tendency. The extruded alloy sheet with 1.01 wt% Nd demonstrates optimal combination of strength and plasticity, i.e., the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength,and elongation were 273 MPa, 214 MPa, and 24.2%, respectively. Variations in mechanical properties are discussed on the basis of microstructure observations.

文摘Electromagnetic waves generated by electronic equipment are widely present in all living and working spaces because of the rapid development of electronic products and frequent use of digital systems.Electromagnetic shielding is an effective method of protection against these waves.Therefore,the demand for materials with high electromagnetic shielding properties has remarkably increased.Magnesium(Mg)alloys,as potential electromagnetic shielding materials,have sparked great interest worldwide.This review highlights the effects of grain size,texture,alloying elements and second phase on the shielding properties of Mg alloys.Recent progress on the shielding properties of Mg–Zn,Mg–Al,Mg–RE and other new shielding Mg alloys is then summarised,and the successful design of Mg alloys with superior electromagnetic shielding properties,such as Mg–Zn–Y–Ce–Zr,Mg–Sn–Zn–Ca–Ce,Mg–Gd–Y–Zn–Zr and Mg-based composite materials,is described.Finally,this review provides insights into the future development and applications of Mg alloys with superior shielding properties.

文摘A review of the literature confirmed that the intrinsic corrosion rate of high-purity Mg as measured by weight-loss is 0.3mm/y in a concentrated chloride solution.Atmospheric corrosion of Mg alloys has produced corrosion rates of Mg-Al alloys an order of magnitude lower than the intrinsic corrosion rate of Mg in a concentrated chloride solution of 0.3 mm/y.The only successful strategy to produce a Mg alloy with a corrosion rate in a concentrated chloride solution substantially less than the intrinsic corrosion rate as measured by weight loss of Mg of 0.3 mm/y has been to improve the protectiveness of the corrosion product film.

文摘Currently, many gratifying signs of progress have been made in magnesium(Mg) matrix composites(MMCs) by virtue of their high mechanical properties both at room and elevated temperatures. Although the commonly used reinforcements in MMCs are ceramic particles,they often provide improved yield and ultimate stresses by a significant loss in ductility. Therefore, hard metallic phases were introduced as alternative candidates for the manufacturing of MMCs, especially titanium(Ti). It has a high melting point, high Young’s modulus, high plasticity, low level of mutual solubility with Mg matrix, and closer thermal expansion coefficient to that of Mg metal than that of ceramic particles. It is highly preferable to provide both high ultimate stress and ductility in Mg matrix. However, many critical challenges for the fabrication of Ti-reinforced MMCs remain, such as Ti’s homogeneity, low recovery rate, and the optimization of interfacial bonding strength between Mg and Ti, etc. Meanwhile, different fabrication methods have various effects on the microstructures, mechanical properties, and the interfacial strength of Ti-reinforced MMCs. Hence, this review placed emphasis on the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of Ti-reinforced MMCs fabricated by different techniques. The influencing factors that govern the strengthening mechanisms were systematically compared and discussed. Future research trends, key issues, and prospects were also proposed to develop Ti-reinforced MMCs.
