Bi，Sb合金化对AZ91镁合金组织、性能影响机理研究

利用大角重位点阵模型建立了AZ91镁合金α相［0001］对称倾斜晶界原子结构模型，应用实空间的连分数方法计算了Mg合金的总结构能，合金元素引起的环境敏感镶嵌能及原子间相互作用能，讨论了主要合金元素Al及Bi，Sb在AZ91中的合金化行为.计算结果表明，Al，Bi，Sb固溶于α相内或晶界区使总结构能都降低，起到固溶强化作用；合金元素在AZ91α相内趋于均匀分布，在晶界区易占位于三角椎上部.AZ91镁合金中加入Bi或Sb时，Bi或Sb比Al容易偏聚于晶界，从而抑制了Al在晶界的偏聚，促进基体中连续的Mg₁₇Al₁₂相的析出，提高AZ91合金室温性能； AZ91合金中(α相内和晶界区)主要合金元素Al和微加元素Bi，Sb都能够形成有序相Mg₁₇Al₁₂，Mg₃Bi₂或Mg₃Sb₂，且在晶界区形成的量大.Bi，Sb加入AZ91合金中，由于Bi，Sb抑制Al在晶界的偏聚，晶界区主要析出相为Mg₃Bi₂或Mg₃Sb₂，提高镁合金高温性能. 关键词： 电子理论 合金化 晶界偏聚 镁合组织与性能

为从理论上揭示铁、稀土元素在锌铝合金晶界处的行为本质，建立了ZA27合金中α相大角度重位点阵晶界模型，利用递归法(Recursion)计算了晶界的电子结构(状态密度、费米能级、结构能).用晶界结构能定义合金的团簇能(有序能)，并计算了偏聚铁及稀土晶界的团簇能.计算结果表明：铁、稀土元素在锌铝合金晶界处团簇能为正值，不能形成团簇，具有有序化倾向，趋于形成稳定的金属间化合物.铁与稀土元素在晶界形成负电中心，降低晶界的费米能级. 关键词： 稀土 晶界 电子结构 有序化     

稀土对镁合金应力腐蚀影响电子理论研究

建立了镁合金纯净晶界及其析出Mg₁₇Al₁₂相的晶界原子集团，应用实空间的递归方法计算了铝、稀土元素在晶界的偏聚能，晶界处铝、稀土原子间相互作用能和不同体系的费米能级.讨论了铝、稀土在晶界的偏聚行为，铝、稀土原子间的相互作用与有序化的关系及稀土对镁合金晶间应力腐蚀影响的物理本质.研究发现：铝、稀土原子偏聚于晶界；铝原子间相互排斥，在晶界区形成有序相Mg₁₇Al₁₂，稀土原子间互相吸引，形成原子团簇；稀土原子团吸引铝原子，使铝原子渗入稀土团簇中，形成稀土化合物.因此，稀土具有抑制铝在晶界形成导致应力腐蚀的阴极相Mg₁₇Al₁₂的作用，提高镁合金的晶间应力腐蚀抗力. 关键词： 电子理论 镁合金 应力腐蚀 稀土

Plasma electrolytic oxidation coating on AZ91 magnesium alloy modified by neodymium and its corrosion resistance

Ceramic coatings on the surfaces of Mg-9Al-1Zn (AZ91) magnesium alloy and Mg-9Al-1Zn-1Nd magnesium alloy (AZ91 magnesium alloy modified by neodymium, named as AZ91Nd in this paper) are synthesized in aluminate electrolyte by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process, respectively. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses show the PEO coating on the Mg-9Al-1Zn-1Nd alloy comprises not only MgO and Al₂O₃, which are found in the coating on the AZ91 alloy, but also a trace amount of Nd₂O₃. Microstructure observations indicate the addition of Nd can decrease the sizes of β phases and form Al₂Nd intermetallics in the AZ91 alloy. The fine β phases can effectively restrain the formation of unclosed-holes and greatly decrease the sizes of pores in the coating during the PEO process. In addition, the Al₂Nd intermetallics can be completely covered due to the lateral growth of the PEO coatings formed on the α and β phases. As a result, the coating on the AZ91Nd alloy possesses a dense microstructure compared with that on the AZ91 alloy. The following corrosion tests indicate the corrosion resistance of the PEO coating on the AZ91Nd alloy is evidently higher than that of the PEO coating on the AZ91 alloy.     

Glass formation and microstructure evolution in Al–Ni–RE (RE = La,Ce, Pr,Nd and misch metal) ternary systems

Glass formation has been systematically studied in melt-spun Al-rich Al–Ni–RE (RE?=?La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Mm; Mm?=?misch metal) alloys by navigating the compositions following the observation of microstructure evolution in the resulting ribbons. The optimum glass-forming regions are similarly located around Al₈₅Ni₁₀RE₅ and found in the centre of the composites with primary phase α-Al, Al₁₁RE₃ and Al₃Ni. The similarities in the critical cross-section below which a component is fully amorphous and the optimum compositions in these Al–Ni–RE systems are interpreted in terms of their competing crystalline phases and thermodynamic properties. Interestingly, it is indicated that Ni content is markedly higher than RE content in the best glass-forming alloys, which may be associated with strong interaction between Ni–Al atom pairs and the dense packing due to Ni-centred clusters.     

Laser (a pulsed Nd:YAG) cladding of AZ91D magnesium alloy with Al and Al2O3 powders

The laser surface cladding of an AZ91D magnesium alloy with Al and Al₂O₃ powders was investigated using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The optimum ratio of Al to Al₂O₃ and the suitable range of laser processing parameters were identified. The resulting microstructure in the modified surface layer was examined and the wear resistance property was evaluated. The results show that the wear resistance of the laser treated samples was much superior to that of the untreated samples.

Correlation between the surface chemistry and the atmospheric corrosion of AZ31, AZ80 and AZ91D magnesium alloys

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used in order to investigate the correlation between the surface chemistry and the atmospheric corrosion of AZ31, AZ80 and AZ91D magnesium alloys exposed to 98% relative humidity at 50 °C. Commercially pure magnesium, used as the reference material, revealed MgO, Mg(OH)₂ and tracers of magnesium carbonate in the air-formed film. For the AZ80 and AZ91D alloys, the amount of magnesium carbonate formed on the surface reached similar values to those of MgO and Mg(OH)₂. A linear relation between the amount of magnesium carbonate formed on the surface and the subsequent corrosion behaviour in the humid environment was found. The AZ80 alloy revealed the highest amount of magnesium carbonate in the air-formed film and the highest atmospheric corrosion resistance, even higher than the AZ91D alloy, indicating that aluminium distribution in the alloy microstructure influenced the amount of magnesium carbonate formed.     

Preparation and properties of composite ceramic coating containing Al2O3–ZrO2–Y2O3 on AZ91D magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation

A composite ceramic coating containing Al₂O₃–ZrO₂–Y₂O₃ was successfully prepared on AZ91D magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique in an alkaline aluminate electrolyte. The morphology, elemental and phase composition, corrosion behavior and thermal stability of the uncoated and coated samples were studied by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electrochemical corrosion test, high temperature oxidation test and thermal shock test. The results showed that the composite ceramic coating was composed of Al₂O₃, c-ZrO₂, t-ZrO₂, Y₂O₃ and some magnesium compounds, such as MgO, MgF₂ and MgAl₂O₄. After PEO treatment, the corrosion potential of AZ91D alloy was increased and the corrosion current density was significantly reduced. Besides, the coated magnesium alloys also showed excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance at 500 °C environment.     

Effect of α-Al2O3 on the properties of cold sprayed Al/α-Al2O3 composite coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy

Composite coatings using pure Al powder blended with α-Al₂O₃ as feedstock were deposited on AZ91D magnesium alloy substrates by cold spray (CS). The content of α-Al₂O₃ in the feedstock was 25 wt.% and 50 wt.%, respectively. The effects of α-Al₂O₃ on the porosity, microhardness, adhesion and tensile strength of the coatings were studied. Electrochemical tests were carried out in neutral 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution to evaluate the effect of α-Al₂O₃ on the corrosion behavior of the coatings. The results showed that the composite coatings possessed lower porosity, higher adhesion strength and tensile strength than cold sprayed pure Al coating. The corrosion current densities of the composite coatings were similar to that of the pure Al coating and much higher than that of bare AZ91D magnesium alloy.     

ZA27合金中稀土及铁的晶界偏聚与交互作用
