Partial phase equilibrium relationships of these alloys at 350 ℃ were identified by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), electron probe microanalysis(EPMA), X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and selected area electron diffraction(SAED) pattern analysis of transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Partial isothermal section of Mg-Zn-Ce system in Mg-rich corner was identified. The results show that there is one ternary compound (T-phase) in Mg-Zn-Ce system. The T-phase is a linear ternary compound in which the content of Ce is about 7.7% (molar fraction); while the content of Zn is changed from 19.3% to 43.6% (molar fraction). The crystal structure of T-phase is C-centered orthorhombic. In addition, one two-phase region of Mg+T-phase and one three-phase region of Mg+T-phase+MgZn(Ce) exist in the Mg-rich corner of Mg-Zn-Ce system at 350 ℃.展开更多
To obtain lightweight multicomponent magnesium alloys with high tensile strength,ductility,and stiffness,two extruded Mg_(92−5x)Al_(1.5+3x)Zn_(3)Cu_(3.5+x)Ce_(x)(x=0.5 and 1,labeled as C0.5 and C1)alloys were designed...To obtain lightweight multicomponent magnesium alloys with high tensile strength,ductility,and stiffness,two extruded Mg_(92−5x)Al_(1.5+3x)Zn_(3)Cu_(3.5+x)Ce_(x)(x=0.5 and 1,labeled as C0.5 and C1)alloys were designed.The results reveal that the ultimate tensile strength,yield strength(YS),and fracture strain of the C0.5 alloy are simultaneously improved compared to those of the C1 alloy,with values of 346 MPa,312 MPa,and 11.7%,respectively.This enhancement is primarily attributed to the refinement of numerous secondary phases(micron scale Al_(3)CuCe,micron scale MgZnCu,and nanoscale MgZnCu phases).The calculation of YS shows that the Orowan strengthening and coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch strengthening are the main strengthening mechanisms,and the contribution values of both to the YS are 28 and 70 MPa for C0.5 alloy.In addition,the C0.5 alloy has a greater plasticity than the C1 alloy because the<c+a>slip system is initiated.展开更多
