Abstract
This study shows for the first time the effect of adding ZrB2 particles to magnesium alloys WE43 and ZK61 on sinterability, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The powder mixtures of ZK61-10 wt%ZrB2 and WE43-10 wt%ZrB2 were sintered to a relative density of 95 % and 98 %, respectively. The dense composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The mechanical properties under compression conditions, and corrosion resistance using “in-vitro” test in Hank solution were studied. A mechanism of ZrB2 particle migration through Y metal “bridges” into the grain body of WE43 alloy was proposed, which leads to improved sinterability of the WE43-10 wt%ZrB2 composite and improved its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In general, adding ZrB2 significantly enhanced WE43 compressive strength by 18 % and ZK61 by 17 % and reduced the corrosion rate by 46 % and 32 %, respectively. Fracture surface analysis showed that WE43-10 wt%ZrB2 composite has transcrystalline fracture behavior. In contrast, the ZK61-10 wt%ZrB2 composite has intercrystallite fracture behavior. The fracture behavior and corrosion resistance are substantiated regarding the material nature and microstructure developed during the SPS.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
