Abstract: The effect of different hydrostatic extrusion ratios on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the ZK60 magnesium alloys were investigated. The results showed that, the major deformation mechanism of the alloy is twinning at room temperature, which resulted in that the tensile strengthen and hardness of the extruded alloy improved greatly. With deformation ratio increasing, the ultimate tensile strengthen and hardness are linearly increased, with the functions of Y= 4.2X+358.3 and Y=2.3X +73.69, respectively. And the maximum tensile strength and hardness of the extruded alloy are 383 MPa and 87HB, respectively. But the elongation decreases obviously, the minimum decreasing degree is 50%. With the deformation ratio increasing, the tendency of elongation rate increased as an “M” model.

Abstract: The extruded microstructure and properties of Mg-2.7Nd-1.2Gd-0.4Zn-0.3Zr alloy by squeeze casting were investigated. After aging process (T5), the dislocation density was enhanced and the dislocation interaction was increased; the factors of grain refinement, RE phases redistribution, the increment of dislocations and the interaction between dislocations and precipitate phases were contributed to the strength increase after hot extrusion and aging treatment, the fracture mode of the hot-extruded alloy was the fracture of the secondary phases and the trans-grain fracture.
