AZ31 magnesium alloy was prepared in vacuum melting furnace.The alloy's microstructure and mechanical properties were studied
and precipitation phase was analyzed in a way to improve the alloy's mechanical properties.The results show that yttrium(Y) exists as the form of compound(Al2Y) in AZ31 magnesium alloy
and dystectic Al2Y as the heteromorphic nucleation emerges firstly in the course of alloy precipitation
which refines the alloy's microstructure and obviously improves the mechanical properties at room and high temperature.The average grain size of AZ31 magnesium alloy containing Y is reduced by 35.82%.Tensile strength
yield strength and elongation percentage reach 212 MPa
147 MPa
and 7.5% at room temperature respectively
and 117 MPa
98 MPa
and 10.2% at 200 ℃ respectively.
