Influence of Solution Treatment on Atomic Diffusion and Mechanical Properties of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The atomic diffusion and mechanical properties of as-cast AZ80 magnesium alloy after solution treatment at different time were studied by OM,SEM,EDS as well as tensile testing. The results show that the coarse β-Mg17Al12 phase distributed along the grain boundaries as net microstructure is almost dissolved after solution treatment, and the content of Al that in the α-Mg matrix is well distributed with the solution time prolonged. Because of the β-Mg17Al12 phase reducing and granulating, the function of precipitates phase strengthening was depressed and the hardness (HB) of alloy dropped obviously. However, the tensile strength(σb ) and elongation(δ) enhanced remarkably and the yield strength (σ0.2) decreased slightly.
