Effect of La-Rich Misch Metal on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of As-Extruded Mg-14Li-3Al Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The as-cast Mg-14Li-3Al-(0-0.9)RE alloys were prepared with vacuum melting method, then processed by hot extrusion. The microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. The results show that both addition of RE and extrusion deformation can refine the grain size. Al3La compounds are formed with addition of La-rich misch metal. The as-extruded Mg-14Li-3Al-0.6RE alloy obtains the finest grain size (4.28 μm) and the highest mechanical properties (σb =222.75 MPa, δ=23.8%), which is related to the grain refinement and the formation of Al3La.
