Abstract:
The influence of primary and secondary extrusion on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg-12Gd-2Er-0.4Zr alloy was investigated. After the primary extrusion, incomplete dynamic recrystallization (DRX) had led to the formation of non-homogenous grain structure with fine equiaxed grain and coarse grains, while the secondary extrusion refined the microstructure remarkably and further improved the mechanical properties. Moreover, the secondary phases were broken into small particles and distributed along the extrusion direction (ED). The secondary extruded (EX2) alloy had the smallest grain size similar to 3.0 mu m and exhibited the best balance of strength and elongation (ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 305 +/- 5.7 MPa, tensile yield strength (TYS) of 258 +/- 10 MPa, and elongation (EL) of 31 +/- 2.4%). The excellent EL was mainly ascribed to the fully refined dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grains after the secondary extrusion. Furthermore, the aged EX2 alloy (AEX2) exhibited an excellent balance of strength and elongation (TYS of 382 +/- 11 MPa, UTS of 423 +/- 6.2 MPa, and EL of 7.6 +/- 0.9%). The alloy strengthening was mainly attributed to the refined grains and strong precipitation strengthening.
