Abstract
In this work, icosahedral quasicrystal phases (I-phases) distributed at grain boundary triple junctions were successfully obtained in Mg-6Zn-0.4Mn-0.3Al-0.2Ca (ZMAX6000) alloy through heat treatment. The effects of I-phases on tensile and compressive creep behaviors were investigated separately. The tensile creep resistance of the sample containing I-phases was superior to its compressive creep resistance under the same test conditions. Moreover, the sample exhibited a significant tension/compression difference in creep resistance. Tensile and compressive creep stress exponents of the sample were ~ 4.9 and ~ 2.3, which implied that the tensile and compressive creep mechanisms might be dislocation slip and grain boundary sliding, respectively. Microstructural characterizations revealed that I-phase could suppress the premature convergence of cracks at grain boundary triple junctions during tensile creep deformation. Nevertheless, cracks might be preferentially generated around I-phases distributed at grain boundary triple junctions due to grain boundary sliding, during compressive creep deformation. The different effects of I-phases on crack development could cause the tension/compression difference in the creep resistance of the alloy.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
