The Effect of Mixed RE Elements on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Die-Cast AZ91D Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of mixed RE elements (Y, Nd, Gd ) on the microstructure and tensile properties of die-cast AZ91D alloy were investigated. The results indicated that the content of mixed RE elements lead to the change of the formation of AlRE compounds and reduction of the fraction of β-Mg17Al12 phase. The grain size of the alloy added 1.0wt. % RE became smaller than die-cast AZ91D and AZ91D+2.0wt. % RE alloys. The UTS of die-cast AZ91D+xRE(x=0 wt. %, 1.0wt. %, 2.0 wt. %) alloys were 204MPa, 194MPa, 203.6MPa at room temperature, respectively. Moreover, RE addition resulted in fracture behaviors changed.
