Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.5Zr Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.5Zr alloy were studied by XRD, OM, SEM and tensile testing machine. The results show that the alloy mainly consists of α-Mg matrix, Mg5Gd and Mg24Y5. Through solid solution and aging heat treatment process, the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation rate respectively achieves 263.1MPa, 235.2MPa and 3.11%.
