Abstract
A novel Mg−5Sn−2Al−1Zn (TAZ521) alloy was prepared. Direct extrusion (DE) and extrusion−shearing (ES) processes were performed on the alloy to improve its strength and ductility. The microstructure evolution, texture evolution, and strengthening mechanisms of as-homogenized and as-extruded alloy were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, EBSD, and tensile tests. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the DE-processed alloy were improved. However, the alloy exhibited a bimodal microstructure consisting of coarse grains and fine DRXed grains. After the ES process, the microstructure became more uniform and a good combination of strength and ductility was achieved. The TYS, UTS, and EL were 212 MPa, 303 MPa, and 21.7%, respectively. Grain refinement and pinning effect by Mg2Sn precipitates play an important role in the enhancement of strength. Additionally, the improvement of ductility is attributed to the weak basal fiber texture and the activation of non-basal slip.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
