复合添加Si、Nd元素对Mg-11Li-3Al合金组织与力学性能的影响

Effects of Si and Nd co-addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-11Li-3Al alloy

摘要:

本文利用磁悬浮真空高频感应加热法熔炼高质量的镁锂合金，通过Si、Nd元素复合添加来研究其对Mg-11Li-3Al合金组织与力学性能的影响。研究结果表明：加入Si、Nd元素后，组织中主要生成Mg2Si和Al11Nd3两种第二相，其中Si的添加能够促使合金组织中形成篆体形貌的黑色析出物聚集区，而Nd的加入能够细化这种黑色棒状的析出物，并减小晶粒尺寸、洁净组织。当Nd的添加量为1 wt%时其晶粒细化的效果最佳。经过XRD衍射和EDS能谱分析发现，这种黑色棒状的析出物为Mg2Si相和Al11Nd3相的结合体。铸态合金的抗拉强度随着Si含量的增加递增，最后趋于稳定；其塑性并不会随某一种或是复合元素的添加而单调变化。实验得到了一种综合力学性能最佳的合金Mg-11Li-3Al-1Si-1Nd，其抗拉强度和伸长率分别为212.3 MPa和46.2 %。

Abstract:

In this paper, Magnetic high frequency induction heating method is used to prepare the high quality magnesium-lithium alloys. The effects of Si-Nd co-addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-11Li-3Al alloy were studied. The results indicate that two main second phase Mg2Si and Al11Nd3 were formed in the alloys adding Si and Nd elements. The added Si element can promote the formation of a black precipitate morphology Chinese characters gathering area, and Nd can refine the rod-like black precipitates and reduce the grain size, clean tissue. When the addition amount of Nd was 1 wt%, the best refinement was obtained. The XRD and EDS analysis found that the rod-like black precipitates were combined phases of Mg2Si and Al11Nd3. The tensile strength of the as-cast alloys increase with the Si content and finally level off. The plasticity will not change monotonously with a certain or compound element. The Mg-11Li-3Al-1Si-1Nd alloy acquires the best comprehensive mechanical properties, its tensile strength and elongation reach 212.3 MPa and 46.2 %, respectively.
