文摘An increase in RE element content in Mg alloys promotes the grain boundary precipitate,which affects the mechanical properties.However,the influence of grain boundary precipitates on microstructure of Mg-RE alloys during ageing and their role on ductility of the aged alloy is unclear.In this work,hot extrusion and ageing treatment were performed for Mg-9Gd-2Y-xNd-0.2Zr(x=1 wt.%and 3 wt.%)alloys,and grain boundary precipitates were formed in the extruded Mg-9Gd-2Y-3Nd-0.2Zr alloy due to the increase of Nd content.The extruded alloys exhibit a complete dynamic recrystallization(DRX)microstructure and a texture with the<0001>orientation parallel to the extrusion direction(ED).In addition,a large amount of fiber microstructures distributed by the second phase along the ED were formed in the Mg-9Gd-2Y-3Nd-0.2Zr alloy,while only a small amount of the second phase was observed in the Mg-9Gd-2Y-1Nd-0.2Zr alloy.After ageing treatment,a large amount ofβ'phase precipitated inside the grains.The strength of the Mg-9Gd-2Y-1Nd-0.2Zr alloy increased from 202 MPa to 275 MPa but the elongation decreased from 12.8%to 2.6%,and the strength of the Mg-9Gd-2Y-3Nd-0.2Zr alloy increased from 212 MPa to 281 MPa but the elongation decreased from 13.7%to 6.2%.Among them,the Mg-9Gd-2Y-3Nd-0.2Zr alloy showed good overall mechanical properties,especially the elongation of the aged alloy was 58%higher than that of the Mg-9Gd-2Y-1Nd-0.2Zr alloy.The increase in ductility of the aged Mg-9Gd-2Y-3Nd-0.2Zr alloy attributed to the grain boundary precipitate promotes the formation of a large number of precipitation free zones(PFZs)with widths of 130-150 nm during ageing treatment.
