In this study, sensi- tizing treatment was applied to an A1-Mg-Mn-Zn alloy to modify the precipitation at the grain boundaries or in the grains. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize various second-phase particles and determine their orientation relationship with the A1 matrix. After sensitizing treatment, z-phase (Mg32(Al, Zn)49) is observed to precipitate along the grain boundaries in a coarser size, producing a discontinuous grain boundary precipitate structure. In addition, Mn-rich particles are found to form with various shapes, such as global, plate and rhombus.展开更多
Mg-2Al-0.5Mn alloys with 0–0.5% Zn and 0.5%–1.0% La-Ce misch metal (MM) were prepared by metal mould casting method.

Effect of alloying elements Zn and MM on microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction, optical microstructure and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that Zn and MM additions led to an obvious grain refinement. Addition of 0.5% Zn resulted in about 30% reduction in grain size for Mg-2Al-0.5Mn alloys, while 0.5% MM addition caused about 40% reduction in grain size. The t...展开更多
