Zusammenfassung: | The effects of yttrium addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn-3Cu-0.6Zr-xY(x=0,0.5, 1.0,1.5 and 2.0,mass fraction,%)(ZCK630+xY for short in this study)alloys were investigated by means of OM,XRD and SEM. The results show that the average grain size of Mg-Zn-Cu-Zr magnesium alloy is effectively reduced(from 57μm to 39μm)by Y addition.The analysis of XRD indicates the existence of I-phase(Mg3Zn6Y)and W-phase(Mg3Zn3Y2)in ZCK630 alloys with Y addition.The ultimate tensile strength of ZCK630 alloys is significantly deteriorated with increasing Y addition,which is possibly related to the continuous networks of intergranular phases and the increase of W-phase. |
