Abstract:

This paper proposes a two-step homogenization heat treatment to dissolve the eutectic structure and long period stacking ordered phase (LPSO) formed during solidification into the α-Mg matrix. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg–7Gd–3Y–1Nd–2Zn–0.5Zr alloy during the two-step homogenization heat treatment have been investigated systemically. The results reveal that as-cast alloy is composed mainly of α-Mg, (Mg,Zn)₃RE, eutectic phase, stacking fault, block-like LPSO phase and square-shaped compounds rich in RE. The HRTEM results suggest that the block-like long period stacking ordered phase in as-cast alloy is 14H-type rather than 18R structure, and the stacking sequences of the 14H-LPSO phase are ABABACBCBCBCAB. After the first step homogenization of 520°C for 48 h, the eutectic structure has dissolved into the matrix, whereas the 14H-LPSO phase remains in the alloy. To further dissolve the LPSO phase into matrix, the second step homogenization of 540°C for 24h was adopted. After the second-step of homogenization, the residual 14H-LPSO phase has dissolved into the matrix totally. The as-homogenized alloy is composed mainly of α-Mg and square-shaped compounds rich in RE. The tensile tests at room temperature (RT) exhibit that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and elongation of as-cast alloy are 172 MPa, 128MPa and 2.8%, whereas the UTS, YS and elongation of as-homogenized alloy are 253 MPa, 185 MPa and 8.4, respectively.
