Microstructure of Magnesium Alloy ZRE1 Glassy Carbon Composite Interface

Article Preview

Abstract:

The magnesium alloy ZRE1 (2.7%Zn, 0.53%Zr, 3,14% rare earth elements) was applied as a matrix of composite reinforced with glassy carbon particles obtained by hot pressing of powder mixture. An influence of matrix chemical composition on interaction processes occurring at the interface was analyzed. The interface microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was revealed the continuous bonding between components and a presence of zone enriched with zirconium, rare earth elements and oxygen in comparison to the matrix composition.
