Integrating the results from microstructural characterization and mechanical testing, the effects of extrusion temperature on microstructure, interfacial structure, element diffusion, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that Mg/Al laminate achieves a sound welding quality by mechanical bonding and diffusion bonding. The obvious intermetallic compounds (β and γ) layer forms at Mg/Al interface, and its thickness increases to 8.3 μm as the extrusion temperature reaches 400 °C. High extrusion temperature promotes the dynamic recrystallization and grain growth of Mg and Al layers, while the dislocation density decreases. β/γ interface shows a coherent feature, while γ/Mg interface is semi-coherent with a locally ordered transition zone of 4.5 nm. The rich Mg and Cr layers are found at TiB₂/6061 interface, which is conducive to improving the bonding quality. When the extrusion temperature is 370 °C, the thickness of diffusion layer is around 5.0 μm, and the bonding strength reaches 18.68 MPa, resulting in the best comprehensive mechanical properties.

In this study, an extruded Mg-Gd-Zn-Zr alloy was developed, showcasing exceptional VHCF resistance due to its bimodal structure comprising fine grains and coarse grains consisting of curved LPSO lamellae. The investigation on the crack initiation mechanism revealed that slip-induced cracking predominantly occurs in fine-grained regions rather than in the interior of coarse grains. The extrusion process aligns the basal planes of most coarse grains parallel to the axial direction, and the presence of curved LPSO lamellae acts as barriers to the movement of basal dislocations, thereby effectively increasing the threshold for slip-cracking along the basal plane. Consequently, fatigue damage manifests in the form of slip bands and micro-cracks within the interior of fine grains, ultimately resulting in fatigue crack initiation, propagation and final fracture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"13 3","pages":"Pages 1218-1231"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141135551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of FSP on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of the alloy, specifically across three distinct layers within the stir zone (SZ): Top, Middle, and Bottom. The results reveal that the Mg₁₂YZn long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase is the predominant structure, undergoing significant grain refinement. The grain size is drastically reduced from 1.5 mm in the as-cast state to 12.6 µm, 10.0 µm, and 7.1 µm in the Top, Middle, and Bottom, respectively. This grain refinement and fragmentation of the LPSO phase into nanoscale particles result in a substantial enhancement of mechanical properties. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) reached 358.2 MPa with an elongation (EL) of 15.1 %, reflecting a 344 % increase in strength and a 733 % improvement in ductility compared to the as-cast material. Simultaneously, the EMI SE was maintained between 70 and 110.4 dB over a broad frequency range (30–4500 MHz). Despite the nanoscale LPSO particles contributing minimally to EMI shielding, the lamellar LPSO structure demonstrated excellent performance through multiple electromagnetic wave reflections within the matrix.
