摘 要: 对Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.6Zr合金挤压态和挤压T5态在275~350 ℃的高温下时效0~96 h,测试两种状态在时效过程中的硬度变化,并用透射电镜观察析出相的组织演变。结果表明:合金挤压T5态比挤压态在275~350 ℃高温时效中的硬度高,并具有较好的耐热性。合金挤压T5态在275~350 ℃的高温二次时效过程中产生回归现象,二次时效的温度越高,回归现象越明显,形成β1相的速度越快,达到平衡相(β相)所需的时间也越短。β′相向β1相转变所需的相变时间最长;β1相向β相转变所需相变时间最短,组织内会出现β′相、β1相和β相三相共存;因此,β′相向β1相的转变一旦完成,合金的硬度和耐热性急剧地下降。

Abstract:The as-extruded and extruded-T5 Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.6Zr alloys were aged in the temperature range of 275−350 ℃ for 0−96 h, the hardness was tested and the microstructure evolution was studied by transmission electron microscope. The results show that the extruded-T5 alloy has higher hardness and better heat resistance than the as-extruded alloy during high temperature ageing. The retrogression phenomenon occurs during the secondary ageing of the extruded-T5 alloy. The higher the secondary ageing temperature is, the more significant the retrogression phenomenon is, the faster the β1 formation is, the shorter the time of transforming to the equilibrium phase β is. The time of β′ phase transforming into β1 phase is the longest during secondary ageing, while that of β1 phase transforming to β phase is the shortest and three phases of β′, β1 and β can co-exist in the aged microstructure. The hardness and heat resistance drop sharply once the β′ phase transforms to β1 phase.
