摘 要:The microstructure evolutions and mechanical properties of a heterogeneous Mg88Y8Zn4(in at.%) alloy during multi-pass equal channel angular pressing(ECAP) were systematically investigated in this work.The results show that four phases,i.e.α-Mg,18 R long period stacking ordered(LPSO) phase,Mg24Y5 and Y-rich phase,are present in cast alloy.During ECAP,dynamic recrystallization(DRX) occurs and the diameter of DRXedα-Mg grains decreases to 0.8 μm.Moreover,precipitation of lamellar 14 H LPSO structure is developed withinα-Mg phase.Both the refinement of α-Mg grains and precipitation of 14 H LPSO contribute to the increase in micro-hardness from 98 HV to 135 HV for α-Mg.In addition,a simplified model describing the evolution of 18 R LPSO phase is established,which illustrates that 18 R undergoes a four-step morphological evolution with increasing strains during ECAP,i.e.original lath → bent lath → cracked lath → smaller particles.Compression test results indicate that the alloy has been markedly strengthened after multi-pass ECAP,and the main reason for the significantly enhanced mechanical properties could be ascribed to the DRXed α-Mg grains,newly precipitated 14 H lamellas,18 R kinking and refined 18 R particles.
