Mechanical Properties and Fracture Behavior of Hot Extruded Mg-5Al-3Ca-xNd Alloys at Elevated Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, effects of Nd addition on mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of as-extruded Mg-5Al-3Ca based alloy were investigated by a tensile test at elevated temperatures. For all temperatures, addition of Nd elements resulted in further increase of strength both yield and ultimate strength compared to the Mg-5Al-3Ca alloy. At 150°C, the ductility in Nd-added alloys is lower than that of no-Nd addition alloy. However, at 250°C, the ductility in Nd-added alloys is improved for no-Nd addition alloy because of fine grain and suppression of grain growth by formation of thermally stable Al2Nd intermetallic compounds.
