Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-6Al-0.3Mn-0.9Y Alloy

Abstract:

Mg-6Al-0.3Mn-0.9Y (mass fraction, %) magnesium alloy was prepared by metal mould casting. The as-cast ingot was homogenized, and then hot-rolled with total thickness reduction of 70%. Further annealing treatment was carried out on the hot-rolled sample. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the studied alloy in as-cast, hot rolled and annealed states were investigated. Results showed that main phases of the as-cast sample were composed of α-Mg, Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and Al₂Y. Average grain size was about 9 μm after hot rolling and annealing treatment. It is found that the optimal annealed parameters for the Mg-6Al-0.3Mn-0.9Y alloy should be 350 °C for annealed temperature and 30 min for the corresponding time, respectively. Tensile test results showed that ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the annealed sample were 261 MPa, 149 MPa and 32%, respectively. Compared with those of the as-cast sample, they were enhanced by 36%, 140% and 146% correspondingly.
