摘要
As-cast ingots of Mg-8Li-4Zn-xGd(x=1, 3, 5) alloys were prepared by lithium flux protection in an electric-resistance furnace. The effects of Gd addition on microstructures and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-8Li-4Zn-xGd alloys were investigated. The results show that the matrix of as-cast Mg-8Li-4Zn-xGd alloys is consisted of α-Mg (HCP) and β-Li (BCC) phase. With the content of Gd increasing, the Mg5Gd eutectic and Zn12Gd compound are gradually connected into network, isolating α and β eutectic into equiaxed with a dimension from 20 μm to 40 μm or eutectic-cell similar to those in the cast iron, which can refine α-Mg and the continuous β-Li phase effectively. The large Mg2Zn11 particles are dispersed in β-Li phase and the Mg51Zn20 phases are distribution at the grain boundary of α-Mg phase. Zn can also precipitate the fine dispersed MgZn phases in the β-Li phase and the quantity increases with the increase of Gd content, which can directly dispersion strengthening β-Li phase. In addition, Zn and Gd have a great influence on the hardness of as-cast alloy, and with the Gd content increasing, the tensile strength of Mg-8Li-4Zn-xGd alloys increases, while the elongation decreases. © 2020, Science Press.
