摘要
Microstructures and phase compositions of as-cast and extruded ZK60-xGd (x=0-4) alloys were investigated. Meanwhile, the tensile mechanical property was tested. With increasing the Gd content, as-cast microstructure is refined gradually. Mg-Zn-Gd new phase increases gradually, while MgZn2 phase decreases gradually to disappear. The second phase tends to distribute along grain boundary by continuous network. As-cast tensile mechanical property is reduced slightly at ambient temperature when the Gd content does not exceed 2.98%. After extrusion by extrusion ratio of 40 and extrusion temperature of 593 K, microstructure is refined further with decreasing the average grain size to 2 μm for ZK60-2.98Gd alloy. Broken second phase distributes along the extrusion direction by zonal shape. Extruded tensile mechanical property is enhanced significantly. Tensile strength values at 298 and 473 K increase gradually from 355 and 120 MPa for ZK60 alloy to 380 and 164 MPa for ZK60-2.98Gd alloy, respectively. Extruded tensile fractures exhibit a typical character of ductile fracture.
分析了铸态和挤压态ZK60-xGd(x=0-4)合金的组织和相组成,测试了其拉伸力学性能。结果表明,随着Gd含量的增加,铸态组织逐渐细化,Mg-Zn-Gd新相逐渐增多,而MgZn2相逐渐减少直至消失,第二相趋于连续网状分布于晶界处;当 Gd 含量不超过2.98%时,铸态室温拉伸力学性能稍降低。经挤压比λ=40和挤压温度T=593 K的挤压后,组织显著细化,平均晶粒尺寸逐渐减至ZK60-2.98Gd合金的2μm,破碎的第二相沿着挤压方向呈带状分布;挤压态的拉伸力学性能均显著提高:298和473 K时的抗拉强度分别从ZK60合金的355和120 MPa逐渐提高至ZK60-2.98Gd合金的380和164 MPa。挤压态拉伸断口呈现典型的韧性断裂特征。
