The microstructure of alloy in the solid solution state （530 oC, 12 h） was composed ofα-Mg and small amounts of （Mg, Zn）xDy phases. During cooling at a cooling rate of 2 oC/min, the 14H-type LPSO phase gradually precipitated in the grain inte-rior and its volume fraction increased with increasing cooling time. The alloy cooled for 20 min exhibited the highest hardness value. In addition, electrochemical and immersion test results indicated that the alloy cooled for 5 min exhibited small corrosion current and low corrosion rate. The good corrosion resistance of alloy was mainly attributed to the continuous distribution of LPSO phase along the grain boundary.展开更多

The alloy sheet was mainly composed ofα-Mg, （Mg, Zn）xDy phase and a large number of long period stacking ordered （LPSO） phases distributed along the extrusion direction. The compressive experimental results show that the alloy sheet exhibits an obvious compressive anisotropy. The compressive strength of the specimen in the extrusion direction （ED） is higher than those of the specimens in the transverse direction （TD） and 45° inclined to the extrusion direction. The compressive yield strength （CYS）, ultimate compressive strength （UCS） and compressive strain of the specimen in the ED are 274.65 MPa, 518.94 MPa and 12.93%, respectively. The compressive anisotropy is mainly attributed to the distribution of LPSO phase and formation of〈10 10〉//ED fiber texture in the deformed grains.展开更多

Microstructure of the as-extruded alloy is mainly composed of α-Mg phase, 14H long period stacking order （LPSO） phase and small amounts of （Mg, Zn）=Dy particle phases. During ageing, the 14H LPSO phase forms and develops and its volume fraction increases with increasing ageing time. Tensile test showed that the peak-aged alloy exhibits similar yield and ultimate tensile strengths and elongation to failure at room temperature, 100℃ and 200℃, but excellent elevated temperature strengths at 300℃ as compared to the as-extruded and over-aged alloys. The analysis showed that the excellent elevated temperature strengths of the peak-aged alloy are attributed to the LPSO phase strengthening and the grain refinement strengthening, and the role of the LPSO strengthening is related to not only its amount, but also its morphology.展开更多

The Mg-2Dy alloy is composed of α-Mg and Mg24Dy5 phases. With the addition of 0.5at.%Zn, 0.5at.%Cu and 0.5at.%Ni, respectively, besides α-Mg, the long period stacking order(LPSO) phases containing Zn, Cu, and Ni precipitated in the α-Mg interdentritic boundary. The addition of Ni effectively refined the dendrite arm spacing. The as-cast Mg-2Dy-0.5Ni alloy exhibited the best tensile strengths and elongation. The better mechanical properties were mainly attributed to small secondry dendrite arm spacing(SDAS) and high volume fraction of LPSO phases.展开更多
