Effect of differential speed rolling strain on microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured 5052AlalloyLoorentz,Young Gun Ko ⇑School of Materials Science and Engineering,Yeungnam University,Gyeongsan 712-749,South Koreaa r t i c l e i n f o Article history:Available online 5November 2012Keywords:Al alloyDifferential speed rolling MicrostructureMechanical propertiesa b s t r a c tThe present work reported the influence of differential speed rolling (DSR)strain on microstructure and mechanical properties of the nanostructured 5052Al alloy.As the amount of DSR strain increased,the deformed microstructure developed from the band-like structure of the elongated grains after one-pass DSR (%0.4)into the nanostructure of the equiaxed grains whose mean size of %700nm after four-pass DSR (%1.6).This was attributed to the fact that,by a sample rotation of 180°along the longitudinal axis,the macro shear deformation formed by one-pass DSR was intersected with that by two-pass DSR.From the microhardness contour maps of the DSR-deformed samples,the microhardness values and their uni-formity were improved with increasing amount of DSR strain.Tensile test results showed that,as the amount of DSR strain increased,the tensile strength increased significantly while sacrificing tensile duc-tility and strain hardenability.Such mechanical response of the nanostructured 5052Al alloy was dis-cussed in relation to microstructure evolution during DSR.Ó2012Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe processing of bulk metallic metals by means of severe plas-tic deformation (SPD)techniques has been generating great inter-est in recent years because the nanostructured materials fabricated via SPD methods,such as high pressure torsion (HPT)and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)possessed superior mechanical properties to their coarse grained counterparts [1–6].Asymmetri-cal rolling was one of the continuous SPD techniques suitable for achieving severe grain reduction below the micrometer level,to-gether with a deep industrial potential.Among asymmetrical roll-ing methods,a differential speed rolling (DSR)was known to be desirable for enhancing the mechanical properties of the workpiec-es.DSR was one of the rolling methods utilizing two identical rolls in size where each was driven by its own motor,generating the dif-ferent rotation speeds of upper and lower rolls,so that the shear strain could be imposed uniformly through the sheet [7,8].In this regard,active research endeavors have been made re-cently,and successful applications have been reported for various materials such as Fe [9,10],Al [11,12],Ti [13,14],etc.For instance,Jiang et al.[11]demonstrated the use of DSR method resulted in severely refined grains of pure Al.Kim et al.[13]reported that the excellent combination of ultrafine grained structure and high tensile properties of commercially-pure Ti was attained by control-ling the speed ratio and deformation temperature during DSR.De-spite these previous investigations,however,a systematic study on how DSR strain influences microstructure evolution and mechani-cal properties of Al alloy will be needed.Therefore,the main pur-pose of the present work is to study the effect of amount of strain on microstructural development of Al alloy fabricated via DSR.The mechanical properties of the DSR-deformed Al alloy sam-ples are also investigated.2.Experimental proceduresThe material used in this study was a 5052Al alloy sheet with a chemical composition of 2.2Mg,0.2Cr,0.4Fe,0.25Si,0.028Ti and the balance Al in wt.%.The as-received microstructure was homogenized at 823K for 30min followed by air cooling,resulting in a coarse grained microstructure whose grain size was %95l m as shown in Fig.1(a).Prior to DSR,the sample was machined into the plate type with a dimension of 70Â30Â4mm.The principle and direction of DSR oper-ation were depicted in Fig.1(b).The diameters of the two rolls in DSR equipment were identical as 220mm.The DSR processing was performed at a roll speed ratio of 1:4for the lower and upper rolls,respectively,while the velocity of the lower roll was fixed at %3.4m/min.The sample was subjected to four-pass DSR operations with a height reduction of 30%for each pass,corresponding to the total strain of %1.6.Each sample was rotated 180°around its longitudinal axis between passes.Poulton’s reagent was used to etch the sample for optical observation.For trans-mission electron microscope (TEM)observations,the thin foils were cut from the normal direction (ND)-rolling direction (RD)plane of the deformed samples where the effect of shear deformation on microstructure evolution was clearly shown as reported earlier [15].TEM micrograph and corresponding selected area electron dif-fraction (SAED)pattern were taken by using TEM (Hitachi H-7600)operating at 120kV.Vickers microhardness tests were conducted on the ND-RD plane of the DSR-deformed samples with a load of 100g and a dwelling time of 10s.A series of individual results obtained from the polished sections with a gap of %0.2mm were recorded.These values were then plotted in the form of the contours depicting0925-8388/$-see front matter Ó2012Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved./10.1016/j.jallcom.2012.10.128Corresponding author.Tel.:+82538102537;fax:+82538104628.E-mail address:younggun@ynu.ac.kr (Y.G.Ko).the distribution of the microhardness over the ND-RD plane of samples.Tensile test was performed at room temperature on the dog-bone sample with a gauge length of 25mm and a width of6mm at a constant rate of crosshead displacement with an initial strain rate of10À3/s.3.Results and discussion3.1.MicrostructureFig.2shows the optical micrographs taken from the ND-RD plane of the DSR-deformed samples as a function of DSR strain. In spite of the high roll speed ratio of1:4used in this study,no obvious plastic failure of the samples such as surface crack and wrinkle was detected with increasing DSR operations,which was responsible for the excellent cold-workability of5052Al alloy.As apparent from Fig.2(a),the microstructure developed into the coarse elongated grains parallel to the DSR deformation direction after one-pass DSR,leading to the band-like structure with a thick-ness of%40l m.As the amount of DSR strain increased,the micro-structural observation shown in Fig.2(b)–(d)revealed that the thickness of the band structures became slender and the contour of the band boundaries was likely to be indistinct due to high amount of DSR strain.A similar trend was also found in the previ-ous study[7].Tofigure out the details of microstructural features,the bright-field TEM and SAED pattern images of the deformed samples are shown in Fig.3.The deformed microstructures tended to vary with respects to observing area and DSR strain.After one-and two-pass DSR operations,the microstructure evolution was observed to be gradual from top to bottom regions.As the amount of DSR strain increased,however,the microstructure tended to be reasonably uniform.Thus,TEM images which were obtained from the middle region of the sample were displayed in Fig.3.since the middle region represented the whole deformed microstructure.After one-pass DSR,the microstructure was mainly comprised offine lamellar bands of elongated subgrains with a width of%1l m. Due to the low-angle misorientation of the band boundaries in nat-ure which was confirmed by the individual regular spots in the SAED pattern,they seemed to be invisible through optical observa-tion.Thus,the amount of strain imposed by a single DSR was insuf-ficient to induce the formation of nanostructure having the high misorientation.Numerous dislocations were mainly detected in the vicinity of subgrain boundaries while the dislocation density was comparatively low in the matrix.As shown in Fig.3(b),the microstructure after two-pass DSR showed the equiaxed subgrains whose size was comparable to the width of lamellar bands fabricated by one-pass(%1l m).The SADP spots of the deformed sample were diffused,suggesting the fact that a misorientation dif-ference between subgrains begun to increase without a significant further reduction in grain size in order to accommodate the intense plastic strain.In Fig.3(c),it was observed that the elongated grains appeared after three-pass DSR,which was similar to that after a single pass in terms of grain morphologies,but both the width and length of the elongated grains became smaller.By four-pass DSR(Fig.3(d)),the deformed microstructure was consisted of nearly equiaxed nanostructured grains of%0.7l m,whichwere Initial microstructure of5052Al alloy and(b)schematic illustration of DSR machine and sample rotationsmaller than those by two-pass DSR.The appearance of the addi-tional rings and extra spots in SAED pattern implied the formation of high-angle boundaries.The resulting grain sizes in this study were quite comparable to the grain sizes fabricated by other SPD techniques[16,17].The development of nearly equiaxed nanostructured grains might be addressed by the fact that the macro shear bands formed by one-pass DSR crossed those by two-pass DSR,as illustrated in Fig.4. This was associated with a sample rotation of180°along the lon-gitudinal axis,allowing the elongated subgrains by odd-numbered pass to restore their original equiaxed segments after even-numbered pass in order to accommodate the intense plastic strain.Optical images of the deformed samples after(a)one-pass,(b)two-pass,(c)three-pass,and(d)four-pass and SAED pattern images of the deformed samples

increased,which indicated a gradual incre-high-angle boundaries.The formation of boundaries would be presumably attributed to during multi-pass DSR operations.The num-formed by initial DSR deformation would with low misorientation and,thereby,they absorbed by the subgrain boundaries,resulting 3.2.Mechanical propertiesThe microhardness contour maps depicting distribution (or microstructural uniformity the ND-RD plane of the DSR-deformed Fig.5.The average microhardness value to DSR was %60Hv.As shown in Fig.5(a),of the deformed sample after one-pass DSR high rate and the high microhardness value detected in the upper side of the deformed Fig.4.Schematic illustration of shearing during multi-pass DSR operations.Microhardness contour maps of the deformed samples after (a)one-pass,(b)two-pass,(c)three-pass,and (d)achievement of the microhardness homogeneity,the effect of sam-ple rotation during multi-pass DSR should be taken into account.Since the sample was rotated around 180°along their longitudinal axis between each pass,the upper side of the sample,which was in contact with the upper roll during odd-numbered pass,was altered to the lower side during even-numbered pass.Therefore,as the amount of DSR strain was evenly distributed,the microhardness distribution was anticipated to be more homogeneous throughout the deformed sample.The engineering stress–strain curves of the DSR-deformed sam-ples and corresponding tensile data are presented in Fig.6and Ta-ble 1,respectively.The yield strength (YS),ultimate tensile strength (UTS),and total elongation of the initial sample were 65MPa,137MPa and 32%,respectively.As the amount of DSR strain increased,YS and UTS increased in a manner similar to the microhardness properties,approaching the maximum values of 380and 390MPa,respectively,whilst losing both tensile ductility and strain hardenability.In case of Al alloys,several strengthening mechanisms associated with grain,dislocation,precipitate and,so-lid solution could contribute to the mechanical strength.According to the earlier works by Straumal et al.[21]and Mazilkin et al.[22],intense plastic strain would lead to the decomposition of supersat-urated solid solution in Al–Mg and Al–Zn alloy samples subjected to HPT,causing the mechanical softening.In contrast,the tensile strength of the present sample processed by DSR was seemed to in-crease with increasing amount of strain.This was attributed to the significant difference in the amounts of Mg and Zn elements be-tween the present and previous studies.In addition,the strain-induced nanoprecipitates were not detected due to lower amount of strain imposed by DSR (%1.6)as compared to that by HPT (%6)[21].Consequently,Hall–Petch and dislocation strengthenings ap-peared to dominate the overall hardening in this study.Tensile strength results exhibited similar behavior to those found in the SPD-deformed materials.Cherukuri et al.[23]reported that the tensile strength of the nanostructured Al–Mg–Si alloy deformed by a multi-axial forging (strain;%6.5)was %350MPa.Indeed,Tsai et al.[24]demonstrated that the use of ECAP (strain;%8)for Al–Mg alloy resulted in a maximum value of %390MPa.In spite of the different strain levels,no significant difference in tensile properties was found between the reported and present results.It is deduced that multi-pass DSR (strain;%1.6)with the sample rotation of 180°around its longitudinal axis was beneficial for attaining the equiaxed nanostructured grains with a fairly uniform distribution as aforementioned,giving rise to high tensile strength.The present study investigated microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the nanostructured 5052Al alloy pro-duced by DSR with respect to the amount of strain imposed.Since the nanostructured sample still exhibited low ductility and strain hardening,a further investigation on the post-DSR annealing behavior of the nanostructured sample would be necessary to re-store the tensile elongation of the nanostructured Al alloy de-formed by DSR.4.ConclusionsThe effect of DSR strain on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the nanostructured 5052Al alloy was investigated.After initial-pass DSR,the band-like structure consist-ing of the elongated grains parallel to the rolling direction ap-peared to form.As the amount of DSR strain increased,the thickness of the band-like structure tended to decrease consider-ably,achieving the nanostructured grains of %700nm in size after four-pass DSR.Hence,the yield strength of the nanostructured sample was approximately five times as high as that of the initial coarse counterpart,approaching a maximum value of 375MPa.References[1]R.Z.Valiev,ngdon,Prog.Mater.Sci.51(2006)881–981.[2]A.P.Zhilyaev,ngdon,Prog.Mater.Sci.53(2008)893–979.[3]X.Huang,N.Kamikawa,N.Hansen,Mater.Sci.Eng.A

State Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Resources Utilization, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry,Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130022, ChinaReceived 28 February 2011; accepted 23 June 2011Abstract: With the aim to further improve the mechanical properties of Mg −Al −RE-based alloy, Mg −3.0Al −1.8Ce −0.3Y −0.2Mn alloy was prepared by high-pressure die-casting technique. The microstructure, thermal stability of intermetallic phases and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that the alloy is composed of fine primary α-Mg dendrites and eutectic in the interdendritic regions. The intermetallic phases in eutectic are Al 11(Ce,Y)3 and Al 2(Ce,Y) with the former being the dominant one. The thermal stability of Al 11(Ce,Y)3 is conditioned. It is basically stable at temperature up to 200 °C within 800 h, while most of the Al 11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics transform to Al 2(Ce,Y) at higher temperature of 450 °C for 800 h. The alloy exhibits remarkably improved strength both at room temperature and 200 °C, which is mainly attributed to the reinforcement of dendrite boundaries with Al 11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics, small dendritic arm spacing effect as well as the solid solution strengthening with Y element. Key words: magnesium alloy; Mg −Al −Ce −Y alloy; Al 11RE 3; structure stability; mechanical properties1 IntroductionIn recent years, magnesium alloy in the form of high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) components has attracted much attention in automotive applications as advanced light material. Mg −Al-based alloys such as AZ91D and AM60B are used extensively in some non-critical parts [1]. However, these alloys are unsuitable for more critical components such as transmission and engine parts because of their poor mechanical properties at temperature above 125 °C [2, 3]. Further studies show that it is ascribed to the coarsening of β-Mg 17Al 12 phase in the eutectic region [4] and the discontinuous precipitate of lamellar Mg 17Al 12 from α-Mg matrix [5]. Moreover, a widely accepted view is that both diffusion controlled dislocation climbing and grain boundary sliding are the creep mechanisms in Mg −Al-based alloys [6]. Therefore, the design of alloys with good heatresistance should be based on the reinforcement of both the grain/dendrite boundaries and the α-Mg matrix.The Mg −Al −RE series alloys such as AE42 are the typical heat-resistant alloys designed for lightweight applications in the automotive industry [7]. However, there still appear inconsistencies in the previous reports as to the stability of the main strengthening phase Al 11RE 3 in Mg −Al −RE alloys. PETTERSON et al [8] (AE42 heat treated at 150, 200 and 250 °C for 100 h), HUANG et al [9] (AE42, 450 °C for 15 h), ZHU et al [5] (AE42, 200 °C for 2 weeks), DARGUSCH et al [10] (AE42+1%Sr, 200 °C for 2 weeks) and RZYCHO Ń et al [11] (AE44, 175 °C for 3000 h) reported that the intermetallic phase Al 11RE 3 has high thermal stability, and no decomposition is observed. In contrast, according to the work by POWELL et al [12] (AE42, 175 °C for 1000 h with and without stress) and our recent work [13] (AE44, 200 °C for 100 h under 70 MPa stress), Al 11RE 3 is unstable and partially decomposes to Al 2RE.Foundation item: Project (HEUCFR1128) supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities, China; Project (2010AA4BE031)supported by the Key Project of Science and Technology of Harbin City, China; Projects (20100471015, 20100471046) supported by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation; Project (LBH-Z09217) supported by the Heilongjiang Postdoctorial Fund, ChinaCorresponding author: ZHANG Jing-huai; Tel: +86-451-82533026; E-mail: jinghuaizhang@ DOI: 10.1016/S1003-6326(11)61169-2ZHANG Jing-huai, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 22(2012) 262−267 263In this work, a new heat-resistant HPDC Mg alloy was designed. Relatively low Al content was used to improve the die castability, form high melting point intermetallics and try to avoid the formation of Mg17Al12. Ce with low solid solubility in Mg (0.74%, mass fraction) was added to form large amount of Al−Ce intermetallic particles to reinforce the grain/dendrite boundaries [14]; Y with high solubility in Mg (12.4%, mass fraction) was expected to strengthen the α-Mg matrix [14]. The microstructure, thermal stability of intermetallic and mechanical properties at room temperature and 200 °C of HPDC Mg−Al−Ce−Y-based alloy were investigated.2 ExperimentalThe chemical composition of the experimental alloy was Mg−3.0Al−1.8Ce−0.3Y−0.2Mn (ACY320). The reference alloy prepared under the same condition was Mg−3.3Al−0.2Mn (AM30). Commercial pure Mg and Al were used. Ce, Y and Mn were added in the form of Mg−20%Ce, Mg−20%Y and Al−10%Mn master alloys (mass fraction). Specimens were die cast using a 280 t clamping force cold chamber die-cast machine. About 20 kg raw materials were melted in a mild steel crucible. Pure argon was used as protective gas and refined gas. The molten metal was hand-ladled into the casting machine and the melt temperature prior to casting was about 700 °C. The die was equipped with an oil heating/cooling system and the temperature of the oil heater was set to 220 °C. The chemical compositions of the castings were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer.The tensile samples were 70 mm in gauge length and 6 mm in gauge diameter, as shown in Fig. 1. Tensile tests were performed using Instron 5869 tensile testing machine at a strain rate of 1.1×10−3 s−1. The experimental result in the study was the average value of at least four measured specimens. Metallographic sample was cut from the middle segment of the tensile bar. The microstructures and intermetallic phases were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM)Fig. 1 Photo of HPDC tensile test bars obtained from ACY320 alloy equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD).3 Results and discussion3.1 MicrostructureIn order to understand the role of Ce and Y additions in the Mg−3Al-based alloy, the microstructure of HPDC AM30 alloy is observed, as shown in Fig. 2(a). It reveals that the AM30 alloy is composed of primary α-Mg dendrites surrounded by interdendritic eutectic. A spot of β-Mg17Al12 intermetallics disperses in the interdendritic regions. The average dendritic arm spacing (DAS) is about 17 μm. The remarkable changes in the microstructure can be observed with the addition of Ce and Y, as shown in Fig. 2(b). The primary α-Mg dendrites in HPDC ACY320 alloy tend to be equiaxed and the average DAS is reduced to 9 μm. More important, the amount of intermetallic compounds in the interdendritic regions is much higher than that in AM30 alloy with the similar Al content.3.2 Intermetallics and their thermal stabilityThe XRD result of the HPDC ACY320 alloy is illustrated in Fig. 3(a). It is known that Mg−Al−Zn (AZ) and Mg−Al−Mn (AM) alloys are mainly composed of α-Mg and β-Mg17Al12 phases [15], the diffraction peaks of β-Mg17Al12 are not emerged due to the addition of Ce and Y. The main secondary phases in ACY320 alloy are Al11(Ce,Y)3 and Al2(Ce,Y), while the diffraction peak of Al11(Ce,Y)3 is much more intense than that of Al2(Ce,Y), which suggests that the former is the dominant one.The magnified SEM images characterizing the secondary phases are shown in Figs. 2(c) and (d). The acicular intermetallics with length of 1−3 μm arrange in a row then the rows form layers roughly, which exhibits outstanding morphology and distribution of the intermetallics. Besides, a few polyhedral intermetallics with size of 1−5 μm can be observed by SEM observations. EDS analyses were used to identify these intermetallics. Figures 2(e) and (f) show the EDS spectra detected from acicular intermetallics and polyhedral intermetallic, respectively. Combined with the XRD result, the acicular intermetallic is identified as Al11(Ce,Y)3 and the polyhedral one corresponds to Al2(Ce,Y). It is worthwhile to note that Al11(Ce,Y)3 has higher content of Ce than Y, while Y content is much higher than Ce in Al2(Ce,Y).To study the thermal stability of Al11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallic, some samples were aged at 200 and 450 °C for 800 h, respectively. The microstructure of ACY320 alloy after heat treatment is shown in Fig. 4. There is no obvious evidence of decomposition of the intermetallics in 200 °C annealed sample, except that a few particlesZHANG Jing-huai, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 22(2012) 262−267264Fig. 2 SEM images and EDS analyses of HPDC alloys: (a) SEM images of AM30 alloy; (b, c, d) SEM images of HPDC ACY320 alloy; (e) EDS analyses of acicular intermetallics at point A ; (f) EDS analyses of polyhedral intermetallic at point BFig. 3 XRD patterns of HPDC ACY320 alloys before aging (a), after aging at 200 °C for 800 h (b) and after aging at 450 °C for 800 h (c)show certain coarsening (see Figs. 4(a)−(c)). The XRD patterns also show incognizable changes before and after 200 °C aging by comparing Figs. 3(a) and (b). However, the conspicuous change of microstructure could be observed after age treatment at higher temperature of 450 °C (Figs. 4(d)−(f)). It reveals that most of the acicular intermetallics disappear and give place to fine quadrate-like particles with size of 100−400 nm in interdendritic regions. The XRD pattern illustrated in Fig. 3(c) also changes obviously after 450 °C aging, namely, the intensity of Al 11(Ce,Y)3 peaks decreases and that of Al 2(Ce,Y) peaks increases obviously. In addition, EDS in SEM mode also indicates the Al: (Ce,Y) atom ratio of these small particles is close to 2:1, not 11:3. Therefore, the present study shows a clear evidence ofZHANG Jing-huai, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 22(2012) 262−267 265Fig. 4 SEM images of HPDC ACY320 after ageing at 200 °C (a, b, c) and 450 °C for 800 h (d, e, f)the phase transition according to the reaction Al 11(Ce,Y)3 → 3Al 2(Ce, Y) + 5Al [12].The observations reported here suggest that there is a limit to the thermal stability of Al 11RE 3. Up to now, the thermal stability of the main strengthening phase Al 11RE 3 in Mg −Al −RE alloys is still a matter of debate [6, 9−14]. POWELL et al [12] investigated the microstructural stability of die-cast AE42 (Mg −4Al −2RE) alloys which were individually creep tested for 1000 h at 22, 100, 125, 150 and 175 °C. It was reported that the lamellar/acicular phase Al 11RE 3, which dominates the interdendritic microstructure of the alloy, partly decomposes into Al 2RE and Al (forming Mg 17Al 12) at temperature above 150 °C (i.e. 175 °C), and the sharp decrease in the creep resistance is attributed to the reduced presence of the lamellar/acicular Al 11RE 3 and the appearance of Mg 17Al 12. In addition, it was also pointed out that the stress is not a contributing factor to Al 11RE 3 stability. However, ZHU et al [5] reported that intermetallic phaseAl 11RE 3 in die-cast AE42 has high thermal stability with no decomposition observed at temperature up to 200 °C for 336 h, meanwhile, the continuous precipitation of Mg 17Al 12 due to the supersaturation of Al solute was observed in the Mg matrix, which was considered to be responsible for the deterioration in creep resistance at temperatures above 150 °C. In the present work, as for the alloy Mg −3.0Al −1.8Ce −0.3Y −0.2Mn after severe aging treatment at 200 °C for 800 h, neither obvious decomposition of Al 11RE 3 (i.e. Al 11(Ce,Y)3) nor the formation of Mg 17Al 12 is observed. It is considered that following aspects are related to the stability of Al 11RE 3 and the formation of Mg 17Al 12. First, the harsh degree of aging treatment containing aging temperature and time is an important factor for the composition of Al 11RE 3. This may be responsible for the different observation results by POWELL et al (175 °C for 1000 h) and ZHU et al (200 °C for 336 h) in AE42 alloy as well as ACY320 alloy in this study (200 °C for 800 h and 450 °C forZHANG Jing-huai, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 22(2012) 262−267 266800 h) at different aging temperatures. Second, the difference of RE components also affects the stability of Al11RE3 [13], which is a factor to explain the difference between Al11RE3 in AE42 and Al11(Ce, Y)3 in ACY320 alloy. Last, the lower Al content in ACY320 (3%) compared with that in AE42 (4%) causes little Al sequestered as soluted in the Mg matrix, which is responsible for no discernible precipitation of Mg17Al12 after aging in ACY320 alloy. The absence of DSC analysis to study phase transition challenges further work.3.3 Mechanical propertiesThe representative tensile stress—strain curves of HPDC ACY320 and AM30 alloys at room temperature and 200 °C are shown in Fig. 5. The tensile properties including ultimate tensile strength, tensile yield strength and elongation to failure are listed in Table 1. The strength increases dramatically by 45−65 MPa both at room temperature and 200 °C, while the elongation still keeps a high level with the addition of Ce and Y to AM30 alloy. The following aspects are considered to be related to the improved strength. The first and also the most important aspect is the formation of large amountFig. 5 Typical tensile stress—strain curves of HPDC alloys at room temperature (a) and 200 °C (b) of Al11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics which provide considerable reinforcement of dendrite boundaries. Second, since the DAS is finer for the Mg−3Al-based alloys containing Ce and Y, the fine DAS effect can contribute to the observed increase in strength. Another factor is the strengtheningof the α-Mg matrix by solid solution with rare earth elements especially Y. Generally, the ductility is low for the alloy containing large amount of intermetallic particles [16]. However, the elongation of HPDC ACY320 alloy with high volume fraction of intermetallics still keeps a high level. It may be related tothe fine morphology and arrangement of Al11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics.Table 1 Tensile and compressive properties of HPDC alloys at room temperature and 200 °CRoom temperatureAlloy Tensile yieldstrength/MPaUltimate tensilestrength/MPaElongation/%ACY320 158 255 10 AM30 116 191 9200 °CAlloy Tensile yieldstrength/MPaUltimate tensilestrength/MPaElongation/%ACY320 103 120 22 AM30 60 72 18 4 Conclusions1) With the addition of 1.8% Ce and 0.3% Y to Mg−3%Al-based alloy, the primary Mg dendrites are refined, the intermetallic phase Mg17Al12 is completely suppressed and substituted by Al11(Ce,Y)3 and Al2(Ce,Y) with the former being the dominant one at the interdendritic regions.2) Al11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics are basically stable at temperature up to 200 °C within 800 h, while most of theAl11(Ce,Y)3 transform to Al2(Ce,Y) at higher temperatureof 450 °C for 800 h. This suggests that the thermal stability of Al11RE3 is conditioned.3) The high-pressure die-cast Mg−3.0Al−1.8Ce−0.3Y−0.2Mn alloy exhibits significantly improved strength at room temperature and 200 °C, which is the results of the reinforcement of dendrite boundaries withAl11(Ce,Y)3 intermetallics, fine dendritic arm spacing effect as well as the solid solution strengthening with Y element.References[1]KULEKEI M K.

Abstract:The mechanical properties and microstructures 0f Al一8Cu一0.5Mg alloy with and without Ag addition were studied at b0m room.and elevated—temperatures.The results show that the alloy with Ag is strengthened by a homogeneous distribution of coexistent 0 and Q precipitates on the matrix(OO 1)and(1l 1)planes,respectively,whereas the alloy without Ag by 0 precipitates only.The small size and high volume fraction of 0 and Q precipitates in the Ag.containing alloy improve the tensile strength and yield strength,especially those at the elevated temperatures.However,it is also responsible for the decrease in elongation,compared with the alloy without Ag.which is due to the microcracks initiated from the inherent incompatibility between the particles and the AI matrix during deformation.

l IntrOductiOn Heat-treatment aluminum alloys are required for many structural applications.And great efforts have been made to either improve the mechanical properties of the alloys currently being used or develop a completely new alloy series.The approaches adopted are either alloying modification,or processing modification,or both.The strength of aging--hardenable alloys such as A1--Cu--Mg series relies upon strengthening precipitates that form during aging after quenching.The aging schedules for such alloys are designed such that a uniform and fine distribution of precipitates results throughout the microstructure[1—3]. Small additions of some alloying elements are of prime importance to improve the mechanical properties. Such microalloying method has been widely applied to various alloy systems.In the A1-Cu-Mg alloy with high mass ratio of Cu to Mg,for example,the addition of Ag can improve the strength at both room-and elevated-temperatures[4].This phenomenon is due to the formation of hexagon-shaped precipitate,designated Q, on the matrix{1 1 1}planes[5,6].Some previous studies [7,8]show that the Q phase has a face-centered orthorhombic structure =0.496 nlTl,b=0.895 nrn, c=0.848 nm).CHANG and HOWE[91 have redesignated this phase as 0(口=6=0.606 6 nlTl,C=0.487 4 nm)on the basis that it has the same composition as the equilibrium 0 phase(AlzCu),and they suggested that the precipitates have a tetragonal structuref 1 01.Actually,the differences in lattice parameter between the 0 and Q structural models are extremely small,and prolonged aging at temperatures above 250 ℃ results in eventual replacement of the{l1 1} Q precipitates by the equilibrium 0 phase in a variety of oftentations and morphologies[1 1].Since the Q phase reveals a good thermal stability at temperatures up to 200℃[12],it is a preferred strengthening phase in aluminum alloys for elevated-temperature applications. Some recent worksf13—161 studied the effect of Cu content and rare element Ce on the mechanical properties of Al-Cu-Mg-(Ag、alloy.These studies focus on the heat.treatment process and the addition of Ce on the mechanical properties of the alloy at elevated temperatures.However,the studies of the effect of precipitates on the strengthening and fractural mechanisms,and the precipitates coarsening mechanism are incomplete. In this study,the efflect oftrace amount Ag on the mechanical properties and microstructures of A1.Cu.Mg alloy with a high Cu content(8%,mass fraction)was
