Abstract
Dislocation strengthening, as one of the methods to simultaneously enhance the room temperature strength and ductility of alloys, does not achieve the desired strengthening and plasticity effect during elevated-temperature deformation. Here, we report a novel strategy to boost the dislocation multiplication and accumulation during deformation at elevated temperatures through dynamic strain aging (DSA). With the introduction of the rare-earth element Ho in Mg-Y-Zn alloy, Ho atoms diffuse toward dislocations during deformation at elevated temperatures, provoking the DSA effect, which increases the dislocation density significantly via the interactions of mobile dislocations and Ho atoms. The resulting alloy achieves a great enhancement of dislocation hardening and obtains the dual benefits of high strength and good ductility simultaneously at high homologous temperatures. The present work provides an effective strategy to enhancing the strength and ductility for elevated-temperature materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnesium and Alloys serves as a global platform for both theoretical and experimental studies in magnesium science and engineering. It welcomes submissions investigating various scientific and engineering factors impacting the metallurgy, processing, microstructure, properties, and applications of magnesium and alloys. The journal covers all aspects of magnesium and alloy research, including raw materials, alloy casting, extrusion and deformation, corrosion and surface treatment, joining and machining, simulation and modeling, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties, new alloy development, magnesium-based composites, bio-materials and energy materials, applications, and recycling.
