Effects of Sb Addition on Heat-Treated Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of AZ61-0.7Si Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

In this paper, the effects of Sb addition on heat-treated microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ61-0.7Si magnesium alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the solution heat treatment can modify the Chinese script shaped Mg2Si phase in the AZ61-0.7Si alloy. After solutionized at 420°C, the morphology of the Mg2Si phase in the AZ61-0.7Si alloy changes from the Chinese script shape to the short pole and block shapes, and the higher modification efficiency could be obtained for the alloy with the addition of 0.4 wt.%Sb. In addition, the effect of the solution heat treatment on the morphology of the Mg2Si phase can also result in the improvement of tensile and creep properties for the AZ61-0.7Si alloy. After solutionized at 420°C for 24h and followed by aging treatment at 200°C for 12h, the AZ61-0.7Si alloy exhibits higher tensile and creep properties than that of the as-cast alloy, and the properties improvement resulted from heat treatment, is more obvious for the AZ61-0.7Si alloy with the addition of 0.4 wt.%Sb.
