Influence of Aging Condition on the Characteristics of Continuous Precipitates of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this work is to evaluate the characteristics of continuous precipitates (CP) developed within the grain and grain boundary precipitates through statistical analysis of the number density and size (i.e., length and width) at varying aging conditions of AZ80 Mg alloy. Scanning electron microscopy illustrates the characteristics and features of precipitates, distinctively. The results reveal an increment of number density, whereas the reduction in the size of precipitates with decrease in the aging temperature for the varying aging times. The variation in hardness values at different aging conditions has been ascribed to this.
