Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of ZK60-xHo Wrought Magnesium Alloys
Microstructures and phase compositions of as-cast and extruded ZK60-xHo (x=0~5) alloys were analyzed by X-ray diffraction,differential scanning calorimetry,optical microscope,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope.Meanwhile,tensile mechanical property and impact toughness were tested.The results showed that as-cast microstructure was refined gradually with increasing the Ho content.Mg-Zn-Ho new phase increased gradually,while MgZn2 phase reduced gradually to disappear.Second phase tended to distribute along grain boundary by continuous network.As-cast tensile mechanical property remained almost unchanged and impact toughness value αnK was low (9~17 J/cm2).After extrusion by λ=40/T=593 K,grain size reached the micron level (1~5 μm) and broken second phase distributed dispersedly.Extruded tensile mechanical property was enhanced obviously.Tensile strength σb at ambient temperature increased gradually from 355 MPa for ZK60 alloy to 375 MPa for ZK60-4.77Ho alloy,while elongation δ decreased gradually from 19.5% to 12.5%.σb at 473 K increased gradually from 120 MPa to 169 MPa.Meanwhile,αnK was enhanced to 26~54 J/cm2.Fine grain and few fine dispersed second phase enhanced the tensile mechanical property and impacted toughness of magnesium alloys effectively.
