Bulk and Surface Low Temperature Phase Transitions in the Mg-Alloy EZ33A

Abstract: Low-temperature phase transitions in the EZ33A Mg-cast alloy have been investigated. Based on the structure assessment of the alloy after annealing at 150 °C (1826 h) and at 200 °C (2371 h) a grain boundary wetting transition by a second solid phase was documented. Within a 50 °C temperature range, substantial differences in the α(Mg) grain boundary fraction wetted by the (Mg,Zn)12RE intermetallic were observed. In contrast to what was reported in the literature, two different types of precipitates were found … Show more

“…The microstructure after ultrasonic treatment reveals significant difference from the initial state. The shape of the second phase Al 3 Ti has changed, and all the needle-like Al 3 Ti disappeared and become block-like, which is similar to the shape change of the second phase after heat treatment in the Mg-alloy EZ33A described in Ref [51] . Fig.…”

“…5 b) in the final. The difference to the fraction of covered GBs between S U sample and S K sample confirms the existence of the solid phase GB wetting transition in the Al-Ti-C grain refiner [51] . Similar phenomenon of GBs completely and/or incompletely covered with layers of a second solid phase have been observed also in Al alloys, Cu alloys and Ti alloys et al [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] .…”

“…2a almost fully surrounds the grains of α-Mg phase appearing dark-grey, and separates them from each other. Such behavior is intimately connected with the complete and incomplete wetting of grain boundaries by the melt or second phase [3,32]. With La addition, more LaMg 12 is precipitated.…”

“…Magnesium alloys are promising materials in the automotive, electronic, and aviation field because of light weight, high specific strength, outstanding damping performance, and environmental protection [1][2][3]. Thermal conductivity is an important thermophysical properties, and it plays an essential role in the performance of alloy.…”

“…The precipitation during quenching was closely associated with the precipitation at grain boundaries and sub-grain boundaries due to their high interfacial energy [ 11 , 15 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. These boundaries not only facilitate the formation of dispersed phase during casting [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], but are also favorable to heterogeneous nucleation during inadequate quenching. Apart from the effects from the boundaries, quenching induced precipitation can vary with grain structure.…”
