The <em>in-situ</em> microstructural characterization reveals that extension twin bands with strain localization appear in the bending area.

The active prismatic dislocation slip within refined grains was due to its much lower relative activation stress to basal slip (CRSS<em><sub>prism</sub></em>/ CRSS<em><sub>basal</sub></em> of only ∼1.6) owing to the effective grain boundary hardening.

The effect of NbB<sub>2</sub> particles on the microstructural evolution of the AZ91 alloy was investigated. The presence of NbB<sub>2</sub> was shown to have a grain-refining effect on the AZ91 alloy and promoted dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and precipitation of fine Mg<sub>17</sub>Al<sub>12</sub> phases via particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN). Tensile testing revealed substantial enhancements in the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), and elongation (EL) of the as-rolled AZ91 alloy, with values of 379 MPa, 292 MPa, and 14.7 %, respectively, owing to the incorporation of NbB<sub>2</sub> particles. Annealing led to further enhancements in EL with slight reductions in UTS and YS (360 MPa, 252 MPa, and 16.8 %, respectively). Owing to grain refinement and the PSN effect of the NbB<sub>2</sub> particles, a significant number of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) were induced in the matrix during the rolling process, which reduces the nucleation barrier and increases the number of nucleation sites for the recrystallized grains and Mg<sub>17</sub>Al<sub>12</sub> precipitates. Meanwhile, many residual dislocations and fine Mg<sub>17</sub>Al<sub>12</sub> precipitates in the as-rolled alloys were annihilated during annealing, resulting in slight grain growth and coarsening. The strengthening mechanism of the NbB<sub>2</sub>/AZ91 composite are mainly associated with grain-refinement strengthening, particle-induced dislocation strengthening, strengthening resulting from mismatching coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), and hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening. Textural weakening, increased activation of non-basal slip systems, more-uniform strain patterns resulting from NbB<sub>2</sub> particles, and precipitation are mainly responsible for enhancing ductility.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142363256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
