摘要
The Mg-Zn-Y quasicrystal-reinforced AZ91 D magnesium matrix composites were prepared by squeeze casting process. The effects of applied pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The results show that squeeze casting process is an effective method to refine the grain. The composites are mainly composed of α-Mg, β-Mg17Al12 and Mg3Zn6Y icosahedral quasicrystal phase（I-phase）. With the increase of applied pressure, the contents of β-Mg17Al12 phase and Mg3Zn6 Y quasicrystal particles increase, further matrix grain refinement occurs and coarse dendritic α-Mg transforms into equiaxed grain structure. The composite exhibits the maximum ultimate tensile strength and elongation of 194.3 MPa and 9.2% respectively when the applied pressure is 100 MPa, and a lot of dimples appear on the tensile fractography. Strengthening mechanisms of quasicrystal-reinforced AZ91 D magnesium matrix composites are chiefly fine-grain strengthening and quasicrystal particles strengthening.
采用挤压铸造工艺制备Mg-Zn-Y准晶增强AZ91D镁基复合材料,研究挤压压力对此复合材料显微组织和力学性能的影响。研究结果表明:挤压铸造工艺是细化晶粒的有效方法,复合材料由α-Mg基体、β-Mg17Al12相以及二十面体Mg3Zn6Y准晶相(I相)组成,且随着挤压压力的增大,β-Mg17Al12相以及Mg3Zn6Y准晶颗粒含量增加,基体晶粒进一步细化,α-Mg树枝晶向等轴晶转变;当挤压压力为100 MPa时,极限抗拉强度和断后伸长率达到最大值,分别为194.3 MPa和9.2%,拉伸断口出现大量韧窝;准晶增强AZ91D镁基复合材料的强化机制主要为细晶强化和准晶颗粒强化。
