A Mg-11Gd-4.5Y-1.5Zn-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy with high-strength and heat-resistance has successfully been prepared by hot extrusion and subsequent ageing. It exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of 473 MPa, 0.2% proof stress of 373 MPa and elongation to failure of 4.1% at room temperature. At 250 °C, this alloy shows an ultimate tensile strength of 369 MPa, 0.2% proof stress of 316 MPa and elongation to failure of 6.3%. Its good mechanical properties and thermal stability are attributed to the dispersion of large volume fraction of 14H-LPSO phase, small α-Mg grains, basal-fiber texture and dense distribution of precipitates at the grain boundaries and inside the grains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
