Influence of MnCO3 Addition on the Grain Refinement of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article reports the effect of MnCO3 addition on the grain refinement efficiency of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The results indicate that the addition of MnCO3 has excellent grain refining efficiency for AZ91 alloy, which is mainly attributed to the Al4C3 particles formed in the melt, besides Mn is indispensable to grain refinement in Al-bearing magnesium alloys. There is an optimal addition amount of 0.6% at 740 °C and the grain size is reduced from 245 to 91 μm. At the same time, the corrosion resistance performance of MnCO3-added AZ91is improved.
