Microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and solid solution-aged ZW21 magnesium alloy were investigated by OM (optical microscope)
SEM (scanning electron microscope)
XRD (X-ray diffraction) and WDW-100D electronic universal materials testing machine. The results indicate that the alloy with aging at 250℃ after solid solution at 525 ℃ for 4 hours
with extending aging time
the secondary phase which is not completely dissolved into the alloy
can gradually be gathered into the crystal to form the rosette-like structure. Moreover
with aging for 24 hours
tensile strength and elongation of the alloys reach 243 MPa and 23.75%
respectively
greatly superior to those of as-cast ZW21 magnesium alloy.
