Effects of Element Y on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of AZ91D Magnesium Alloy
The effects of yttrium on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and heat treated AZ91D magnesium alloys were examined. Chinese script Al6Mn6Y phase and spheroidized or bar-like Al2Y phase can be observed in the alloy to intensively refine the structure. The mechanical properties of the AZ91D magnesium alloy can be significantly improved by somewhat Y addition
in which the optimized mechanical properties can be obtained with 1.5% Y addition. Furthermore
both the hardness and tensile strength of the AZ91D magnesium alloy containing Y after solid solution treatment are higher than those of the AZ91D magnesium
meanwhile
the Y can postpone the ageing time to delay the time of the ageing peak.
