摘要
Zirconium (Zr) is an important alloying element to Mg-Zn-based alloy system. In this paper, we report the formation of the beta-type precipitates on the nanoscale Zr-rich particles in a Mg-6Zn-0.5Cu-0.6Zr alloy during ageing at 180A degrees C. Scanning transmission electron microscopy examinations revealed that the nanoscale Zr-rich [0001](alpha) rods/laths are dominant in the Zr-rich core regions of the as-quenched sample after a solution treatment at 430A degrees C. More significantly, these Zr-rich particles served as favourable sites for heterogeneous nucleation of the Zn-rich beta-type phase during subsequent isothermal ageing at 180A degrees C. This research provides a potential route to engineer precipitate microstructure for better strengthening effect in the Zr-containing Mg alloys.
