摘要
The effects of Cu content (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%), remelting temperature and holding time on the evolution of semi-solid non-dendrites of Mg-7Zn-0.3Mn magnesium alloy were studied. The results show that the cast microstructure of the Mg-7Zn-0.3Mn-1Cu alloy is composed of white α-Mg matrix and black eutectic phase (α-Mg+Mg4Zn7+ MgZn2+CuMnZn). And Cu accelerated the separation and spheroidization of non-dendritic particles during isothermal heat treatment, and the effect is optimal when the Cu content (mass fraction) is 1.0%. By properly raising the holding temperature or extending the holding time, Mg-7Zn-0.3Mn-1Cu can obtain finer and more uniform spherical particles. However, when the holding temperature exceeds 585℃ or the holding time exceeds 20 min, semi-solid particles will gradually coarsene. This coarsening growth phenomenon is generated by the combined growth mechanism and Ostwald maturation mechanism. During the whole isothermal heat treatment process, the semi-solid microstructure evolution mainly experiences four stages: initial coarsening, tissue separation, spheroidization and final coarsening. The best parameters of isothermal heat treatment of Mg-7Zn-0.3Mn-1Cu are 585℃ in holding temperature, 20 min in holding time, and the average particle size, shape factor and solid fraction are 38.85 μm, 1.39 and 53.38%, respectively. © 2020, Science Press.
