The results reveal that the precipitated phases of AEC422 consist of Al2La and Al2Ca by contrast with the precipitated phase Al11La3 in AE42, which is instable and decomposes to Al2La and Al at high temperature. Creep resistance of AEC422 is significantly improved compared with that of AE42. The microstructure of AEC422 has no obvious changes after creep test at 175℃ and 70MPa, as compared to that before creep test, indicating that Al2La and Al2Ca have high thermal stability. Especially Al2Ca phase largely increases the strength of the grain boundaries in AEC422, which accounts for the creep resistance improvement.展开更多

The effects of Ca on normal temperature mechanical properties and high temperature creep behavior of alloys were characterized by tensile and constant creep test.Microstructure analysis indicated that Ca was preferentially combined with Al in the alloy to form the high melting point Al_2Ca phase at the grain boundary. The addition of Ca can refine the crystal grains and reduces the content of β-Mg_(17)Al_(12) phase. With the increase of Ca content in the alloy, Al_2Ca phases at the grain boundary gradually changed to the network of lamellar structure, and replaced the β-Mg_(17)Al_(12) phase as the main strengthening phase gradually. The creep resistance of the alloy continuously increases because the high-temperature stable phase Al_2Ca firmly nailed at grain boundaries impedes the sliding of grain boundaries. However, when the addition of Ca was more than 1.5%, mechanical properties of the alloy started to decrease, which was probably due to the large amount of irregularly shaped Al_2Ca phases at the grain boundary. Experimental results show that the optimal addition amount of Ca is 1.5 wt.%.展开更多
