Abstract:

In this paper, the author successfully fabricated Mg-3Sr-xY alloys by melting-leaching reduction method using SF6 and N2 as protected gas. The microstructures of the Mg-3Sr-xY alloys were investigated in details,and the results showed that Mg-3Sr-xY alloys are composed of dendrite α-Mg and eutectic α-Mg and Mg17Sr2 and Mg24Y5 particulates, the second phases distribute in the α-Mg dendrites and interdendrites. The fiber microstructures form after thermal extrusion and the dynamic recrystallization occurs. In Mg-3Sr-xY alloy, the tensile strengths, the yield strengths and elongation rates increase firstly, reach the peak values, decrease with the increasing in Y content. Mg-3Sr-xY alloy have the best mechanics properties, including yield strengths and ultimate strengths and elongation rates and creep properties by the addition of 0.6%Y content. The tensile behaviors at elevated temperatures are accord to general laws for the metals at room temperature. The Mg-3Sr-xY alloys with 0.4-1.0% Y are of best creep limit. The dislocation sliding and climbing is the main creep mechanism for Mg-3Sr-0.6Y alloys.
