Influence of Neodymium on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-9Li-3Al Alloy

Abstract:

Mg-9Li-3Al magnesium alloys with varied level of Nd added (i.e., 0-2.0wt. %) alloys were prepared electric resistance stir casting furnace under controlled inert gas atmosphere. Impact of Nd addition on metallographical changes and mechanical characteristics of as-cast alloys were analyzed by using an OM, XRD, SEM with EDS. The metallography evaluation revealed that adding Nd refines the microstructures due to formation of Al₂Nd and Al₁₁Nd₃ precipitates, these precipitates exists together with α-Mg, β-Li, AlLi, MgLi₂Al phases in the alloy. Furthermore, adding Nd improves the mechanical strength and elongation. 1.5wt.% Nd added alloy displayed the better mechanical characteristics; UTS is 166MPa; Elongation 16.87%.
