Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-Y Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of 2-12 wt.% Y addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-Y binary alloys have been investigated. The results show that proper content of rare earth Y addition can obviously refine the grains and form high melting point Mg24Y5 phases in the matrix, and improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys. At room temperature, the optimum combination of ultimate tensile strength and elongation, 195MPa and 7.5%, is obtained in Mg-10 wt.% Y alloy.
