Thermodynamic Study of Equilibrium Phase in Quasicrystalline Strengthened Magnesium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to optimize the composition and microstructure of quasicrystalline strengthened Mg-based alloy, the equilibrium phases of Mg-Zn-Y-Zr alloys with three components were studied by using thermodynamic calculation. The calculated results showed that the equilibrium phases of the three alloys were mainly Liquid phase, α-Mg matrix phase, α-Zr dispersed phase, quasicrystalline strengthening I phase, W phase and Z phase. It was observed that the specific content and temperature range of these phases were different. Among them, alloy 3 had the highest quasicrystalline content. And alloys 1 and 2 contained dispersed phase α-Zr which can lead to grain refinement.
