Abstract

The repetitive upsetting-extrusion (RUE) experiments of Mg-RE-Zn alloy were carried out to study the grain refinement and texture evolution under different decreasing temperature degrees during the deformation process. The results showed that during the RUE processing, the samples underwent dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and exhibited the similar bimodal microstructure comprising coarse deformed grains and fine dynamic recrystallized grains around. The continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) process and the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) process occurred simultaneously, promoting grain refinement. The particles and the second phases precipitated, which effectively induced DRX to occur through the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN). As the degree of decreasing temperature and the initial deformation temperature increased, the average grain size and texture intensity of the alloy decreased because the volume fraction of DRXed grains with small grain size and weak texture increased.

Static Recrystallization Behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr Alloy During Annealing Treatment

Zeru Wu, Jianmin Yu, Ziwei Zhang, Hongbing Hu, Zhimin Zhang

Summary: The static recrystallization behavior of a deformed Mg-13.14Gd-3.86Y-2.0Zn-0.39Zr alloy after different annealing treatments was investigated. The degree of recrystallization increased with higher annealing temperatures. The main mechanism for recrystallized grains formation was the transformation of low-angle grain boundaries into high-angle grain boundaries. The annealing treatment also resulted in a decrease in dislocation density and average grain size. Furthermore, the precipitation behavior of the Mg5(Gd,Y) phase changed from grain boundaries to inside the grains. The annealing treatment consumed the LPSO phases and caused a decrease in the basal texture strength of the alloy.

Investigation on the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y(-Zn)-Zr alloys under indirect extrusion

Yuanqing Chi, Jinwei Liu, Zhijie Zhou, Shouzhong Wu, Weiqing Liu, Mingyi Zheng

Summary: This study mainly investigates the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y alloys (Mg-8.5Gd-2.5Y-0.3Zr (wt%) (0Zn) and Mg-8.5Gd-2.5Y-0.5Zn-0.3Zr (wt%) (0.5Zn) alloys) under indirect extrusion at different temperatures. The addition of 0.5 wt% Zn promotes the dynamic precipitation of beta-Mg5RE phases, resulting in a well-distributed distribution in the 0.5Zn alloy compared to a local distribution in the 0Zn alloy. The presence of zinc and the extrusion temperature influence the texture formation and mechanical properties.

Optimization in strength-ductility of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy processed by upsetting-extrusion combined with intermediate thermo-mechanical treatment (ITMT)

Jingjing Jia, Zhimin Zhang, Beibei Dong

Summary: This study comparatively investigated the effects of intermediate annealing and intermediate annealing subsequent aging treatment on an Mg-9Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy. It was found that the intermediate annealing treatment resulted in the highest dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains and the largest average DRXed grain size. On the other hand, the intermediate annealing subsequent peak-aging treatment led to significantly smaller DRXed grains. The UAAE sample exhibited excellent strength-ductility synergy with higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and failure elongation (EL) compared to the UE sample.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior and strengthening mechanism of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy during isothermal MDF process

Beibei Dong, Jing Chai, Guoqin Wu, Huifang Zhang, Zhimin Zhang, Jianmin Yu, Yong Xue, Mu Meng

Summary: The effects of isothermal multi-directional forging (MDF) on the microstructure, texture evolution, and mechanical properties of homogenized Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy were investigated in this study. The results showed that the MDF passes gradually decreased the average grain size of the alloy, resulting in a more uniform microstructure distribution. The MDF process also led to changes in the distribution of LPSO phases and Mg5(Gd,Y) precipitates within the grains. Additionally, the maximum texture intensity on the basal plane decreased with the increasing MDF passes due to the formation of dynamic recrystallized grains. The alloy exhibited excellent mechanical properties, attributed to various strengthening mechanisms such as grain boundary strengthening, dislocation strengthening, texture strengthening, and precipitation strengthening.

Effect of a Large Height-to-Diameter Ratio Upsetting-Extrusion Process on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr Alloys

Weidong Qiao, Chao Liu, Zhimin Zhang, Yong Xue

Summary: In this study, a novel large height-to-diameter ratio upsetting-extrusion process was used to deform Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy bars. The results showed that a lower extrusion temperature favored the precipitation of large particles of Mg5(RE) phase and refined the grains, leading to an increase in recrystallization fraction and improved mechanical properties of the alloy. Texture strengthening and dislocation strengthening were the main contributors to the mechanical properties, and the presence of coarse grains accommodated deformation and enabled high elongation.

Highly efficiency blue emissive from Bi3+ions in zero-dimensional organic bismuth halide for white LED applications

Jun'an Lai, Daofu Wu, Peng He, Kang An, Yijia Wang, Peng Feng, WeiWei Chen, Zixian Wang, Linfeng Guo, Xiaosheng Tang

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Study on the wear resistance and mechanism of AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys

Xuewei Liang, Yunhai Su, Taisen Yang, Zhiyong Dai, Yingdi Wang, Xingping Yong

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.
