Abstract

In this paper, the effects of Sb and RE on the solutionized microstructure and microhardness of Mg-6A1-1Zn-0.7Si magnesium alloy are investigated. The research results indicate that the solid solution treatment can result to the modification of Chinese script shaped Mg2Si phases in the microstructure of experimental alloy, and adding small amounts of RE and Sb can strengthen the modification efficiency. In addition, after the solid solution treatment at 420°C, the Mg-6A1-1Zn-0.7Si alloy added 0.4%Sb and 0.25%RE exhibits higher microhardness, but the effect of Sb and RE additions on the changing law between microhardness and solutionized time, is not obvious.
