The microstructure differences in as-cast and solution-treated alloys were investigated. Sliding tribological behaviors of the as-cast and solution-treated alloys were investigated under oil lubricant condition by pin-on-disc configuration. The wear loss and friction coefficients were measured at a load of 40 N and sliding speeds of 30-300 mm/s with a sliding distance of 5000 m at room temperature. The results show that the as-cast alloy is mainly composed ofα-Mg solid solution, the lamellar 14H-type long period stacking ordered （LPSO） structure within matrix, andβ-[（Mg,Zn）3Gd] phase. However, most of theβ-phase transforms to X-phase with 14H-type LPSO structure after solution heat treatment at 773 K for 35 h （T4）. The solution-treated alloy presents low wear-resistance, because the hard β-phase is converted into thermally-stable, ductile and soft X-Mg12GdZn phase with LPSO structure in the alloy.展开更多

The arrangement rule of Zn and Y atoms in the LPSO structure is determined theoretically. The calculation results reveal that the additive atoms are firstly located in the fault layers at the two ends of the 18R-type LPSO structure, and then extend to fault layers in the interior, which is in good agreement with the experimental observations. This feature also implies the microstructural relationship between 18R and other LPSO structures. The cohesive energy and the formation heat indicate the dependence of the stability of 18R LPSO structure on contents of Y and Zn atoms. The calculated electronic structures reveal the underlying mechanism of microstructure and the stability of 18R LPSO structure.展开更多

The results show that the 18R-LPSO structure and α-Mg phase are observed in cast Mg94Zn2Y4 alloy. After extrusion, the LPSO structures are delaminated and Mg-slices with width of 50-200 nm are generated. By ageing at 498 K for 36 h, the ageing peak is attained andβ′phase is precipitated. Due to this novel precipitation, the microhardness ofα-Mg matrix increases apparently from HV108.9 to HV129.7. While the microhardness for LPSO structure is stabilized at about HV145. TEM observations and SAED patterns indicate that the β′ phase has unique orientation relationships betweenα-Mg and LPSO structures, the direction in the close-packed planes ofβ′precipitates perpendicular to that ofα-Mg and LPSO structures. The ultimate tensile strength for the peak-aged alloy achieves 410.7 MPa and the significant strength originates from the coexistence ofβ′precipitates and 18R-LPSO structures.展开更多

These LPSO structures contained Mg, Y, Cu and Zn and thus they were quaternary phases. Sharp diffraction pattern of the 24R structure was obtained and the angle between and g10024R was measured to be 5.03°. During high resolution TEM observations, lattice fringes with two characteristic spacings were observed within the 24R structure. Based on the experimental results, 6H, 7H and three 8H are suggested as the building blocks of 18R, 14H and 24R structures, respectively. The 24R unit cell can be interpreted as the stacking of 8H building blocks in the same shear direction with a shear angle of about 5.03°. The imperfect 24R structures are in order or disorder arrangements of principal 8H and minor 6H blocks. This double-block structure model is also applicable to other reported defects in LPSO structures.展开更多

Microstructure was investigated by electron diffraction and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the 12 R has a trigonal lattice(a = b = 1.112 nm, c = 3.126 nm, α = β = 90°, and γ = 120°). Unit cell of the 12 R is consisted of three ABCAtype building blocks and each building block contains dominant Ni6Y8-type building clusters. A sound structural model is proposed based on relative positions of Ni6Y8clusters in neighboring building blocks.展开更多

LPSO structure containing stacking defects transforms into the β’-long phase during EB irradiation, which plays a key role in accelerating solute atoms’ diffusion. New complex β’(LPSO) structures formed in the alloy after EB irradiation, such as β’(12 H) structure with an orthorhombic lattice(Mg;Y, Cmcm,a = 2 _(a0)= 0.642 nm, b=4√3_(a0), c = 6 _(c0)= 3.12 nm).展开更多

The corrosion properties of the as-cast （F）, solid-solution （T4） and aging-treated （T6） alloys in 1% NaC1 solution are studied. The hydrogen evolution and electrochemical measurements display that the as-cast Mg95.sGd3Zn1Zro.2 alloy with the continuous network eutectic phase exhibits the greatest corrosion resistance, while T6 sample with some needle-like phases and the particle phases is the worst among the three alloys. It is proposed to be mainly related to the amount, composition, microstructure and distribution of the precipitated phases.展开更多

The corrosion performance of Mg-Zn-Y alloys was studied by combining gas-collecting test, immersion test and electrochemical measurements in order to determine the corrosion rate and mechanism of the alloys. The results showed that the volume fraction of Mg（12）YZn phase increased and the shape of the Mg（12）YZn phase changed from discontinuous to continuous net-like with increasing Zn and Y content. The corrosion rate of the alloys greatly depended on the distribution and volume fraction of the Mg（12）YZn phase. Corrosion products appeared at the junction of Mg phase and Mg（12）YZn phase, indicating that the Mg（12）YZn phase accelerated galvanic corrosion of Mg matrix. Mg（97）Zn1Y2 alloy shows the lowest corrosion rate due to the continuous distribution of Mg（12）YZn phase.展开更多

A great number of alloying elements can be dissolved into the Mg matrix to form the solutes and precipitates.Moreover, the type of precipitates varies with different alloying elements and heat treatments, which makes it quite difficult to understand the formation mechanism of the precipitates in Mg-based alloys in depth. Thus, it is very hard to give a systematical regularity in precipitation process for the Mg-based alloys. This review is mainly focused on the formation and microstructural evolution of the precipitates, as a hot topic for the past few years, including Guinier-Preston Zones, quasicrystals and long-period stacking ordered phases formed in a number of Mg-TM-RE alloy systems, where TM = Al, Zn, Zr and RE = Y,Gd, Hd, Ce and La.展开更多

Recently, ordered quaternary MAX phases have been discovered, which enriches the family of MAX phases, and opens a new window to tailor the properties of MAX phases and to develop new MXenes. In the present work, we explored possible ordered quaternary MAB phases with Cr3AlB4 structure(space group: Pmmm) by first-principles calculations. The predictions show that M2M’AlB4 phases with M = Mn, Fe, Co and M’ = Cr, Mo, W exhibit strong tendency of ordering, where M locates at 2t site(0.5, 0.5, z2t) and M’ locates at 1 g site(0, 0.5,0.5). The main driving force of ordering may be the differences in bonding strengths between Al and M elements. Analyses on chemical bonds reveal that bonding strengths increase following the order:Al-Mn < Al-Fe < Al-Co, which is consistent with the prediction that ordering tendency increases when M changes from Mn to Co, as derived from enthalpy differences. The ordered M2M’AlB4 phases with M =Mn or Fe are predicted ferromagnetic and ordered M2M’AlB4 phases display lower shear resistance and possibly better ductility in comparison to Cr3AlB4.展开更多

Results show that the Mg100-2xYxZnx alloys are composed of a-Mg, long period stacking ordered （LPSO） phase and eutectic structure phase （W phase）, and the Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 alloy has the best comprehensive mechanical properties. Subsequently, the microstructure evolution of the optimized alloy Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 during solidification and heat treatment processes was analyzed and discussed by means of OM, SEM, TEM, XRD and DTA. After heat treatment, the lamellar phase 14H-LPSO precipitated in a-Mg and W phase transforms into particle phase （MgyZn2）. Due to the compound reinforcement effect of the particle phase and LPSO phase （18R＋14H）, the mechanical properties of the alloy are enhanced. The tensile strength and elongation of the Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 alloy is improved by 9.1% and 31.3% to 215 MPa and 10.5%, respectively, after solid-solution treatment.展开更多

文摘14H, 18R and 24R long-period stacking ordered （LPSO） structures were observed in the as-cast Mg-3Cu-1Mn-2Zn-1Y damping alloy using transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. These LPSO structures contained Mg, Y, Cu and Zn and thus they were quaternary phases. Sharp diffraction pattern of the 24R structure was obtained and the angle between and g10024R was measured to be 5.03°. During high resolution TEM observations, lattice fringes with two characteristic spacings were observed within the 24R structure. Based on the experimental results, 6H, 7H and three 8H are suggested as the building blocks of 18R, 14H and 24R structures, respectively. The 24R unit cell can be interpreted as the stacking of 8H building blocks in the same shear direction with a shear angle of about 5.03°. The imperfect 24R structures are in order or disorder arrangements of principal 8H and minor 6H blocks. This double-block structure model is also applicable to other reported defects in LPSO structures.

文摘A hitherto unreported long-period stacking-ordered(LPSO) phase, designated 12 R, was observed in a Mg80Ni5Y15(at.%) alloy. Microstructure was investigated by electron diffraction and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the 12 R has a trigonal lattice(a = b = 1.112 nm, c = 3.126 nm, α = β = 90°, and γ = 120°). Unit cell of the 12 R is consisted of three ABCAtype building blocks and each building block contains dominant Ni6Y8-type building clusters. A sound structural model is proposed based on relative positions of Ni6Y8clusters in neighboring building blocks.

文摘Formation of β’ phase in long-period stacking ordered(LPSO) structures in an Mg;Co;Y;(at.%) alloy after aging at 200 °C for 24 h or electron beam(EB) irradiation has been studied by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADFSTEM). β’ phase was precipitated only in the Mg matrix but not in LPSO structures after aging at 200 °C for 24 h. LPSO structure containing stacking defects transforms into the β’-long phase during EB irradiation, which plays a key role in accelerating solute atoms’ diffusion. New complex β’(LPSO) structures formed in the alloy after EB irradiation, such as β’(12 H) structure with an orthorhombic lattice(Mg;Y, Cmcm,a = 2 _(a0)= 0.642 nm, b=4√3_(a0), c = 6 _(c0)= 3.12 nm).

文摘The microstructure of the precipitated phases of Mg95.sGd3Zn1Zro.2 alloys with long-period stacking ordered structure before and after heat treatment is discussed. The corrosion properties of the as-cast （F）, solid-solution （T4） and aging-treated （T6） alloys in 1% NaC1 solution are studied. The hydrogen evolution and electrochemical measurements display that the as-cast Mg95.sGd3Zn1Zro.2 alloy with the continuous network eutectic phase exhibits the greatest corrosion resistance, while T6 sample with some needle-like phases and the particle phases is the worst among the three alloys. It is proposed to be mainly related to the amount, composition, microstructure and distribution of the precipitated phases.

文摘The morphology and crystal structure of the precipitates in Mg-7Gd-3Y-1Nd-1Zn-0.5Zr(wt.%)alloy with fine plate-like 14H-LPSO structures aged at 240℃were investigated using transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM).Fine plate-like 14H-LPSO structures precipitate after heat treatment at 500℃for 2 h,andβ-type phases precipitate after the alloy is aged at 240℃.The long-period atomic stacking sequence of 14H-LPSO structures along the[0001]αdirection is ABABCACACACBABA.After being aged at 240℃for 2 h,theβ-type phases are the ordered solution clusters,zig-zag GP zones,and a small number ofβ′phases.The peak hardness is obtained at 240℃for 18 h with a Brinell hardness of 112,theβ-type phases areβ’phases and local RE-rich structures.After being aged at 240℃for 100 h,theβ-type phases areβ’,β1 andβ’F phases.β′phases nucleate from the zig-zag GP zones directly withoutβ″phases,and then transform intoβ1 phase byβ’→β’F→β1 transformations.The Zn not only can form LPSO structure,but also is the constituent element ofβ1 phases.LPSO structures have a certain hindrance to the coarsening ofβ’andβ1 along<0001>α.

文摘Biodegradable magnesium(Mg)alloy has been considered as a new generation of orthopedic implant ma-terial.Nevertheless,local corrosion usually occurs since the severe micro-galvanic behavior amongα-Mg and precipitates,and results in too rapid degradation.In this study,porous Mg-Zn-Gd part was fabricated using laser additive manufacturing combined with solution heat treatment.During heat treatment,the precipitatedβ-(Mg,Zn)_(3)Gd phase dissolved inα-Mg,and reduced the energy threshold of stacking faults on basal planes,which finally triggered the formation of long period stacking ordered(LPSO)phase.The LPSO phases owned minor potential difference withα-Mg,thus causing less micro-galvanic corrosion ten-dency as compared toβ-(Mg,Zn)_(3)Gd phase.More importantly,they were uniformly distributed within theα-Mg grains and showed different orientations between adjacent grains.As a result,the LPSO-reinforced Mg-Zn-Gd tended to expand laterally during corrosion evolution,and achieved uniform degradation with a considerably reduced degradation rate of 0.34 mm/year.Moreover,in-vitro cell tests further proved its favorable biocompatibility.This work highlighted the additively manufactured Mg-Zn-Gd with LPSO structure showed great potential for orthopedic application.

文摘Mg-Zn-Y alloys with long-period stacking ordered structures were prepared by an ingot casting method. The corrosion performance of Mg-Zn-Y alloys was studied by combining gas-collecting test, immersion test and electrochemical measurements in order to determine the corrosion rate and mechanism of the alloys. The results showed that the volume fraction of Mg（12）YZn phase increased and the shape of the Mg（12）YZn phase changed from discontinuous to continuous net-like with increasing Zn and Y content. The corrosion rate of the alloys greatly depended on the distribution and volume fraction of the Mg（12）YZn phase. Corrosion products appeared at the junction of Mg phase and Mg（12）YZn phase, indicating that the Mg（12）YZn phase accelerated galvanic corrosion of Mg matrix. Mg（97）Zn1Y2 alloy shows the lowest corrosion rate due to the continuous distribution of Mg（12）YZn phase.

文摘Both the solid solution and precipitation are mainly strengthening mechanism for the magnesium-based alloys. A great number of alloying elements can be dissolved into the Mg matrix to form the solutes and precipitates.Moreover, the type of precipitates varies with different alloying elements and heat treatments, which makes it quite difficult to understand the formation mechanism of the precipitates in Mg-based alloys in depth. Thus, it is very hard to give a systematical regularity in precipitation process for the Mg-based alloys. This review is mainly focused on the formation and microstructural evolution of the precipitates, as a hot topic for the past few years, including Guinier-Preston Zones, quasicrystals and long-period stacking ordered phases formed in a number of Mg-TM-RE alloy systems, where TM = Al, Zn, Zr and RE = Y,Gd, Hd, Ce and La.

文摘Two different kinds of hot compressions,namely normal-compression and can-compression,were performed on the Mg–11 Gd–4 Y–2 Zn–0.5 Zr alloy,featured with long period stacking ordered(LPSO)phase.The kinking behavior of LPSO phase and microstructure evolution was investigated to clarify the effect of levels of imposed hydrostatic pressure.The results suggest that the LPSO phases including both the intragranular 14 H-LPSO phase and intergranular 18 R-LPSO phase suffer severe kinking behavior under higher hydrostatic pressure induced by can-compression,which is firstly characterized with more kinking times and smaller relative kinking width.The main reason for such enhanced LPSO kinking during cancompression may be mainly ascribed to the higher dislocation density under a higher level of hydrostatic pressure.Meanwhile,a competitive relationship between the kink behaviors of intergranular 18 R-LPSO phase and intragranular 14 H-LPSO phase was observed.That is,the intergranular 18 R-LPSO phase only kinks obviously on the condition that the surrounded intragranular 14 H-LPSO phase scarcely kinks.In contrast to the distinctive kinking of LPSO phase,the dynamic recrystallization(DRX)mechanism shows less dependence on the hydrostatic pressure.Resultantly,similar DRX fractions and crystallographic texture were attained for two compression processes owing to the similar operation of deformation mode.

文摘The nanolaminated MAB phases have attracted great research interests due to their unusual combination of metal-like and ceramic-like properties, which is similar to MAX phases. Recently, ordered quaternary MAX phases have been discovered, which enriches the family of MAX phases, and opens a new window to tailor the properties of MAX phases and to develop new MXenes. In the present work, we explored possible ordered quaternary MAB phases with Cr3AlB4 structure(space group: Pmmm) by first-principles calculations. The predictions show that M2M’AlB4 phases with M = Mn, Fe, Co and M’ = Cr, Mo, W exhibit strong tendency of ordering, where M locates at 2t site(0.5, 0.5, z2t) and M’ locates at 1 g site(0, 0.5,0.5). The main driving force of ordering may be the differences in bonding strengths between Al and M elements. Analyses on chemical bonds reveal that bonding strengths increase following the order:Al-Mn < Al-Fe < Al-Co, which is consistent with the prediction that ordering tendency increases when M changes from Mn to Co, as derived from enthalpy differences. The ordered M2M’AlB4 phases with M =Mn or Fe are predicted ferromagnetic and ordered M2M’AlB4 phases display lower shear resistance and possibly better ductility in comparison to Cr3AlB4.

文摘The microstructure evolution of Mg100-2xYxZnx （x=2, 2.5, 3, 3.5） alloys was investigated. Results show that the Mg100-2xYxZnx alloys are composed of a-Mg, long period stacking ordered （LPSO） phase and eutectic structure phase （W phase）, and the Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 alloy has the best comprehensive mechanical properties. Subsequently, the microstructure evolution of the optimized alloy Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 during solidification and heat treatment processes was analyzed and discussed by means of OM, SEM, TEM, XRD and DTA. After heat treatment, the lamellar phase 14H-LPSO precipitated in a-Mg and W phase transforms into particle phase （MgyZn2）. Due to the compound reinforcement effect of the particle phase and LPSO phase （18R＋14H）, the mechanical properties of the alloy are enhanced. The tensile strength and elongation of the Mg95Y2.5Zn2.5 alloy is improved by 9.1% and 31.3% to 215 MPa and 10.5%, respectively, after solid-solution treatment.

文摘Magnesium alloys with a long-period stacking ordered(LPSO)structure usually possess excellent static strength,but their fatigue behaviors are poorly understood.This work presents the effect of the LPSO structure on the crack behaviors of Mg alloys in a very high cycle fatigue(VHCF)regime.The LPSO lamellas lead to a facet-like cracking process along the basal planes at the crack initiation site and strongly prohibit the early crack propagation by deflecting the growth direction.The stress intensity factor at the periphery of the faceted area is much higher than the conventional LPSO-free Mg alloys,contributing higher fatigue crack propagation threshold of LPSO-containing Mg alloys.Microstructure observation at the facets reveals a layer of ultrafine grains at the fracture surface due to the cyclic contact of the crack surface,which supports the numerous cyclic pressing model describing the VHCF crack initiation behavior.
