HRTEM Observation of Age-Precipitation in Mg-2.9at.% Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The magnesium alloy containing rare earth element is known to show good heat resistance. In this study, Mg-Y, Mg-Gd and Mg-Gd-Y alloys including the same total amount of solute elements have been investigated to clarified the effect of the Y atom on age-hardening and precipitation using HRTEM, SAED technique and HRTEM simulation. The diffuse scattering by SAED was obtained in as-quenched condition in all alloys. In the specimen at as-quenched condition, the row contrasts consisted of bright and dark dots lying on the {100}Mg planes, which were considered to mono-layer were observed by HRTEM.
