Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-9Gd-2Y-1Sm-0.5Zr Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-9Gd-2Y-1Sm-0.5Zr alloy have been studied by micro-analysis and tensile tests. The results showed that the alloy mainly consists of α-Mg matrix, Mg5Gd and Mg24Y5. With the increase of temperature, the tensile strength of the alloy increases at first and then decreases, and the peak appears at 250°C.
