摘要:Effects of pulsed magnetic field with different excitation current and magnetic field frequency on structure and properties of Al-12.5Mg-6.7Si Alloy were investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM)and hardness testing.The results show that with the increase of excitation current and magnetic flux density,primary Mg2Si and eutectic Mg2Si are fined greatly.Comparing with those in gravity field, the primary Mg2Si phase size is decreased by 36%and the hardness is improved slightly.However,primary Mg2Si is coarsened significantly with magnetic field frequency more than 2Hz,and the morphology of eutectic Mg2Si is transformed into needle from dot-like structure,resulting in the decrease of hardness.The pulsed magnetic field with excitation current of 1518Aand magnetic field frequency of 12Hz can improve remarkably the microstructures and mechanical properties of the Al-12.5Mg-6.7Si alloy.

摘要:Influences of RE element Ce on as-cast microstructure of AZ91magnesium alloy were investigated by vacuum induction melting method.Then,the melting and solidification processes for rare earth magnesium alloy were analyzed by differential thermal analysis(DTA)with different cooling rates,such as 10K/min,20K/min,40K/min and 80K/min,in order to understand the formation regularity ofβ phase.The results show that Ce element can refine grain size in the microstructure of AZ91alloy and can effectively suppress the occurrence of divorced eutecticβ-Mg17Al12phase in grain boundary as a result of the formation of Al-Ce compound.Addition of 0.75%Ce can decrease the liquidus temperature of AZ91alloy from 605℃to 583℃.Under the condition of near equilibrium solidification,the increase of cooling rate results in insufficient solute diffusion ahead of liquid-solid interface front,which enhances the relative area of eutectic peak in DTA curves and indicates the increase of volume fraction of divorced eutecticβ-Mg17Al12phase.In addition,the lamellar volume fraction for secondary precipitatedβphase is decreased,which can be attributed to the decrease of eutectoid transition time because of higher cooling rate.
