Microstructure and properties of Mg-6Zn ribbons with different Ca addition prepared by two-roll rapid solidification were investigated by OM
SEM
XRD and DSC as well as micro-hardness tester. The results indicate that besides rapid solidification can greatly refine primary phase and secondary phase
Ca can give a help for refining further microstructure of the alloy too. The microstructure of the rapidly solidified Mg-6Zn alloy ribbons are composed of supersaturated α-Mg
Mg51Zn20 phase and a little Mg2Zn3 and MgZn2 phase. With increasing in Ca addition
Mg2Ca
Ca2Mg6Zn3 and MgZn2 phase are gradually increased with the decrease of Mg2Zn3 and Mg51Zn20 phase
which is beneficial to improving the thermal stability of the alloy.
